Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

I need to update my software but i dont want to lose all of my content. This is a new computer i am updating from and it doesnt have any of my content on it.

I went to the apple store and they told me that my version of Itunes on my Ipod touch is like 20 versions behind. My mom just bought a mac and I want to update my software but I dont want to lose all of my music,movies,shows, and pictures. I no longer have the computer that I used to put all of the content on my ipod so I am scared that if I do the update I will forever lose my content. Please tell me if I can update my software without it deleting my ipod. Thank you so much

- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

HT4623 I need to update my software, but I forgot my passcode. How do I change it.

I need to update my software on my ipad. Somehow I have to put in my passcode and don't know the number. Is there someway I can change it or take it off please help me.

Hi, When you forgot iPhone/iPad passcode, you can restore your device from iTunes, then you can reset your passcode.
1. Connect your iPhone to computer via a USB cable;
2. Click View > Show Sidebar, your iPhone will show up in the left sidebar.
3. Click "Restore iPhone", and you can successfully reset iPhone passcode by clicking "Restore Backup".

I need to update ipod software, but update button is faded

When I'm uploading music to my ipod, a message appears that says some of my songs aren't going to upload because I need to update. But when I try using the ipod updater, I only get the choice to restore, which I want to try and avoid.
Why is update faded out? Next to the version of iPod sotware I'm running it says I need to update but it won't let me. I'm following all the instructions that I can find but I'm still having problems.
This is a 15g ipod with the four buttons on the front. Please help! Thanks.

Incredibly I have been through this miserable scenario - and posted about it in another thread. I finaly succeeed in overcoming it. How you ask. Well ( and I am one who just bought a Mac and was thinking of switching for good) - a Windows 200 Machine running an old 4.x version of iTunes. Say's I said a Windows machine !
As soon as I dowenloaded and installed the updater it allowed me to upgrade - and I did to 2.3. So the probelem is either the Mac version or more liley 5.0 itself.
Now why oh why would I have to use a 4 yeard lod Windows 200 machine to update to the latest firmware on my Apple iPod, to make be able to play music that I purchased from the Appple store - somethng I could not do with my brand new Apple G5 anf Apple iTunes 5.0. I seem like I am repeating Apple again and again. Yeah ...right. good thing I didn;t throw ou that old Windows piece of junk huh ? Long live Bill Gates - simple, eee-gadds - dare I say user-friendly computing. Did I say that ?

Updated ipad3 settings. after 'done' it asked for passcode. I never had a passcode. how to fix?

I updated Ipad3 Settings. After the Done message, it said I was locked out and asked for a Passcode. I never had a passcode. How do I fix this?

Do you mean you updated to IOS 7 and now you are being asked for a password. If so, at the end of the upgrade process I was asked to set a PIN number. You probably gave a PIN number and that would be your password.

I need to update my software, but "software update" does not appear under General/settings.

Any ideas? Thank you.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > 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 by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 (the first gen iPad doesn't support iOS 6). If it is an iPad 2 or 3 then iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google have app versions in the store.

I Can not connect to wifi, I did all basic things like restart, reset settings, updates software... Nothing works please help!!!

Hi Alisadat,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It sounds like you have intermittent Wi-Fi connection if you were able to update your iOS to 7.0.2?
Although you have tried some troubleshooting steps, I would suggest following the guide below in order to attempt to resolve this issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

I need to update my software to OS X 10.6.8 but my software update keep on showing that there is nothing to be update, my iMac is currently OS X 10.5.8. What do I need to do?

Some online resellers still have Snow Leopard in stock, but their prices are ridiculously high (Amazon.com is one). So your best bet is to call Apple; they will sell it for about $20 US as long as they still have stock.

I need to update my macbook but I need to know what software program to buy to update it. I am operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8

I need to update my macbook but I need to know what software program to buy to update it. I am operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to be up to date on all software updates at the end.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Every time I open iPhoto, the program freezes, showing me the spinning rainbow of death. I always need to perform a Force Quit. I have updated my software, but that did not help.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
