I have an iPad 2 that cannot be recognized/synced by a new computer.

I have an iPad 2 that cannot be recognized/synced by a new computer. This new computer is a public library computer since my laptop is broken. How do I get it to recognize my iPad so it can connect to iTunes and how do I update it to 6.0? Currently 4.3.5*
If I can't update it at the public library computer, where may I take it to get it updated? I tried best buy and they said they could for a fee but they were idiots and knew a lot less than what I knew. They kept thinking it could update itself but I told them that only 5.0+ can. It has no self update feature. What store or place would be able to do this? I would ask a friend but they probably do not have an iOs device.
My nearest apple store is a three hour drive away near chicago.
At this point, I do not care if my iPad is wiped.

Perhaps you are running into issues with library rules. I could easily see that they would limit ability to install new software/hardware on their machines. Only other suggestions I can offer is a friends computer, or maybe the apple store.

I have an iPad that will not allow me to accept iCloud terms and conditions. It just says server not available. But on an annoyingly regular basis a pop up asks me to accept term and cond, I go to iCloud and try to but that is when it tells me it cannot connect to the server. Frustrating as I cannot get rid of the pop ups.

Thanks champion! Apple support is useless! Way too difficult to get anywhere with their "support"

Try recovery mode. I think this should work. You can read the instructions here.

I have an ipad that has been 'locked up' since 10 a.m. central time this morning. It is stuck on the web site that I was looking at

I have an ipad that has been 'locked up' since 10 a.m. cent. time this morning! I cannot do anything to get it to shut off or reset. What do I need to do?

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia.

Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?

Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up.

If it's not available in your country and you do not have a copy of it in iTunes backed up on your computer, you don't.

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

We have 2 computers that need to be wired. We have 2 iPads that need to be wireless. We have 2 floors and would like to run the stereo from a third wireless Mac. Suggestions, please?

We have 2 PCs (Windows 7)that are wired. We have 2 iPads that are wireless. We will get a Mac Pro to load all our CDs onto it and would like to play music through the stereo system using an airport. We have a wired/wireless router upstairs and the stereo is downstairs.
Would an Airport work with this configuration?
Thanks.

I have a similar set up to the original poster (cable modem with Airport Express on 3rd floor, iMac on first floor kitchen, wirelessly streaming music to our stereo on first floor living room which also has an Airport Express). We have a good cable connection to our house usually 10 - 30 Mbs, and a strong Airport wireless signal everywhere, but it's impossible to get smooth audio. It works for a while, maybe 10 mins or so, hen drops out, comes back for another 3 or 4 mins, then drops out again.... eventually stopping completely.If I just plonk my iPhone 4 down a few feet from the stereo, I can stream iTunes, or Pandora al night with no problems, no interruptions!!
I thought I'd get a better "boosted" signal by using the Airport Express attached to the living room stereo, but it doesn't seem to make any difference?
What's the solution? Any tips for getting a better audio connection?
Thanks!

I have one iPad that will connect to our wifi but I have another one that will not, why is that

I have an iPad that will not connect to the wifi at our house. My sister also has an iPad and it connects automatically. Mine is the only one that will not. I can't figure how to get it to work. I have taken my iPad other places with wifi and it connects right away. I know that some wifi systems have a limit on how many things can connect to them but I have even gone so far as turn off the wifi on every device that we have that connects to the wifi and it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do or how to get it to work?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

You can try recovery mode to see if you can revive the iPad.

Have you left the iPad charging for a couple of hours or so to be sure?

If you have an iPad that is locked does it have to hooked up to a PC?

i have an iPad that is locked and dont remembering putting a passcode on it. Do I have to hook it upto a PC?

Yes.
