I'm trying to download ios7 on my iPad 2 and the download option won't even show up. What do I do?
I've been trying to download this for quite a while now and I just can't. Do I need to plug it into a computer? Everyone else has downloaded it straight off their device.
The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you can only do the update via your computer's iTunes (you will need the latest version of iTunes on your computer to update to iOS 7).
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

Hi aw1962,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps to take if you are not sure what the passcode is:

Hi, I am trying to download IOS7 (not sure if it's 1 or 2) to my ipad. The programme has locked at the 'Choose a Wif-Fi network' page, a box says 'joining other network' but the page is greyed out and can't move from it. How can I clear this screen and finish the download. Thanks
Hello Den53,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Best of luck,

After downloading the new version I tried to drag the symbol to the docking station and thought I did. When I signed on again, the message to download the new version of Firefox was still there. Did I or didn't I succeed with the download?
I have followed the other discussions and done the suggested updates or deletes and to no avail.
Unless you tell us exactly what you have tried, we have no way of knowing exactly which updates or deletes? aren't working for you.
Try installing the combo > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, try the App Store. -
I've tried to restore my iphone multiple times and the white bar won't go across
Including last night, I've been sitting at my computer for at least 6 to 7 hours...
Saturday morning, I woke up to a strange icon on my phone when i turned it on. It said i needed to connect my iphone to itunes. I just got my iphone a few weeks ago, and i didn't have any problems up in till now. So I causually went up to my computer, and plugged my charger into the computer, and plugged my charger to the iphone. A message popped up saying my iphone needed to be restored. So I clicked 'restore and upgrade." It was restoring for 2 hours. When it was finally complete, a small white bar apperead. Unfortuantly, even though my phone was plugged in for several hours, it still made no progess. I updated Itunes..I even updated my computer! I tried another computer which has more updated feautures to it, and it still has the same problem. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated.Perform a Reset...

Hi Apple iPad,
I am disabled physically and cognitively.
I want to download Google Chrome on my iPad as well the flash for my receiving videos on Facebook, etc.
I was receiving Facebook videos from friends globally, without issue when for the past 3 days or so, facebook states I need a Flash player to view videos.
Please would you be so kind as to assist me further? I would like direct links to download both applications.
Thank you very much.

<Email Edited by Host>You can download Chrome from the app store. There is no 'Flash Player' for iOS. There never has been and there never will be. Adobe has terminated all efforts to develop mobile flash.
