I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up of the old Ipad from Itunes copy to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?

Contrary to the opinion above, I see no reason whatsoever why you can't set up the new iPad from the backup of the old one. Obviously you will have app updates to make and complete and that sort of thing, but if you want to retain all of your app data and device settings (some of which will change because of the updated iOS), I would certainly restore from the backup first.
If you find that to be problematic, you can always start all over again.

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

HT4972 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes. However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version. How do I update?

I have an iPod touch 3rd generation with IOS 4.2.1 and the newest version of iTunes. However, when I press "check for updates" it says that IOS 4.2.1 is the current version. How do I update?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Can I update my iPad first generation to ios 6?

iOS 6-- can I update my iPad (first generation) with it? It appears I cannot, but I want to make sure.

No, unfortunately not the 1st gen iPads... The new iOS 6 will run on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5; the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad; and the fourth- and fifth-generation iPod touch.
Hope this answers your question.

My sister has an iPad with iOS 6.1.3 and I have an iPod with iOS 6.1.3 also why does she have Siri and I don't?

Siri requires a 5th generation iPod Touch. Yours appears to be a 4th generation.

Hi! I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and I have iTunes 11.1.3.8. on my Windows 8. Now I can't sync my iPhone, because the device is not recognised by iTunes. Somebody have any idea why, or what can I do (except refresh the iPhone software) ?

JoBautista,
you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.

Has anyone used an Ipad first generation with the IOS SDK app development kit? If you have or have not did you need more than 16 gigabytes to work with?

What up with these online custormer assists they don't know what their own product is (ISO SDK app development kit) So this is where they send me when they could have answered me yes or no you need that

What "online customer assist" are you referring to? The only entity at Apple that could or would help you with this issue is Apple Developer Support. Is that who you contacted?
In any case, are you referring to the capacity of the iPad itself? If so, a 16GB will be fine for testing unless you have it loaded up with too much stuff for your app to load and run. If that's not what you meant, please clarify.
Regards.

I have a Verizon IPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble connecting to an open network called linksys that says I'm connected with the wifi icon in the menu bar but it's a slow to non existing connection? Anyone in similar situation?

My other questions were anyone in a similar situation? Should I get wifi in my home? What is the best provider in Chicago?

Since the network obviously doesn't belong to you, we're not going to be able to suggest much you can do to fix it. As for getting wifi in your home, do you not already have Internet access? Wireless routers are cheap if you already have wired Internet. If you don't, the "best" provider may not be a relevant question. You probably have 2, maybe 3 choices. Your cable company, your phone company and probably one other choice that is actually running piggyback on either the cable or phone company. If you're in a high rise, the building may have their own service you can buy into.

I have a ipad 3 with ios 5.1.1 and it will not update to ios 7. I keep getting a software failed message and the download takes 13 hours and stops half way through. Any help?

I have an ipad 3rd gen with ios 5.1.1 and I can not update it to ios 7. It will take 13hours and when I try it stalls out halfway through and says software update failed. I have tried everything. Any help?

it actually needs more space than that. The file size is your 65 mb is probably the ota incremental file size. The full package is 700 mg, and the system needs 3 gig of free space to unpack and install.
There is a fairly good discussion here

If you get an iPhone 5, you will need to purchase 10.6.8 & then update to iTunes 11:
