  • HT4972 Why i cant update my iOS to iOS 6

    Why i cant update my iOS to iOS 6

    What have you tried?  Connect your iPad to the computer with
    which you normally sync, open iTunes, click button to check
    for updates and iTunes should handle the rest. If using a Windows
    computer, you may need to temporarily disable your anti-virus and
    firewall for the update to succeed. If you have any problem, please
    post back with the exact wording of any error message and someone
    will answer. Once you have updated to iOS 6, future updates can
    be done over the air without having to connect to a computer (altho'
    that way will still work).

  • I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app.  How do you hide photos so they don't show anywhere?

    I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app.  How do you hide photos and videos so they only show in the hidden album.  Thanks

    When publishing from Lightroom to Facebook, you are always sending them to an album. Lightroom doesn't generate you posts though. Generally Facebook is smart enough to create just one post for all of your images published to a single album. If you are getting individual posts per photo there isn't anything you can do from Lightroom's side to change that. Try refreshing you page your newsfeed or timeline to verify whether individual posts are being created or if it's just a timing issue.
    Also, uploading images to Facebook will always result in your file having a different file name on the server and in the page code. No avoiding this, no matter your method of upload.

  • Cant update to ios 8.1.2 or 8.1.3, click agree and nothing happens

    I Have been unable to update to ios 8.1.2 or 8.1.3, i go through steps and click agree and nothing happens, can someone help, i tried rebooting as well

    Good day nerinjinie,
    Are you having an issue with updating your iPhone's operating system over the air, or are you trying to do this through iTunes on a computer? If the former, I would suggest trying to do this through iTunes. See this article for instructions -
    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Safe computing,

  • I cant update to ios 7

    when i search for updates it says ios 6.13 is the newest update, it isnt, many of my friends have ios 7 already, i have a ipod touch, currently updated on ios 6.1.3 pls help

    Correct. The 4G does not have enough RAM for iOS 7
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Cant update from ios 6 beta 4 to GM

    Keeps saying software is up to date when i check wirelessly and through iTunes. 
    Does anyone know how to get round this issue?

    To update from ios 6 Beta 4 to GM you need to follow these steps:
    1. Connect Iphone to computer with itunes running.
    2. Turn of iphone
    3. Hold down off button for 3 second
    4. While holding down off button hold the home button for 10 seconds
    5. after the 10 seconds let go of the off botton and wait for 6 seconds
    6. Wait then follow the Itunes restor and update walkthrough and it will download the latest version and update your Iphone for you.
    I hope this works for everyone and can comfirm worked for my Iphone 4s

  • Cant update to IOs 5.0.1

    hi,
    i keep trying to update my iphone 4 to ios 5.0.1 but keep getting error 3194. ive uninstalled itunes 5 times now. im on windows xp and its the latest update as well. but no matter what i do it wont update. can anybody help?

    touch me wrote:
    it says ICCID: unknown
    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
