I tried to update my mother's iPad2 from ios 4.2 to the newest version. I am stuck in a loop. I get to the setup, but every time I back up the iPad, the setup tarts over. I restored the entire device - same problem

My mom has an iPad 2 that she bought a few years ago. She has never updated it and wanted me to do so. I installed iTunes, got the newest version, and plugged her iPad in. The update went great. Everything was backed up first, all the data was synched, but now the setup page starts over again and again after I restore the data. I tried wiping everything down to the factory settings, and the same thing happens I skip the woreless access setup because she forgot her wifi password and I need to reset that. But that should not be an issue...

If you have Wi-Fi, you don't need to connect her iPad to a computer to update iOS.
Make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on the iPad. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi
Tap Settings > General > Software Update
Trying to sync with iTunes on your computer won't work. It's already associated with your Apple ID.

Trying to update Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006

I'm trying to update my Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006. I've tried updating several times but I get the same networking error. I've tried disabling my computer and router firewalls, and made sure I have up to date Itune program, I even run the diagnostics on itunes and comes up that all connections are ok. I also tried connecting directly from my modem, I still got the same result. Now my Ipad has just the Itunes logo and a usb cable that's showing on it's screen. I'm hoping I can get help with this because it seems like my Ipad is un-usable in this state. Thanks in advance.
PS: I also have an Apple TV 3 that's asking me to update, I run the update but it failed and asked me to run the update again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A third generation iPod touch can't be updated past 5.1.1. If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

You have to update the iPad to iOS 5.
Here are the instructions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update

HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.

I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

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.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps.

I had the exact same problem
It turns out I was using a 20 foot USB cable between the printer and the Airport Extreme and the signal had become to weak to work. Try using nothing more than a 6 foot cable or try a new cable

If the above Support Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...
Note:
That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.
