I updated my iPad2 to the new iOS and it deleted averything i had and now it wont let me download any apps. Why?

Please help me!

Novice or not, you takes your chances when you don't do a backup before an update. I rarely backup before an "interim" update, always backup before a major one. No one is going to be able to give you a definitive answer because when a problem happens, it is a random thing.
Since I have automatic iCloud backups going on regularly, I don't worry too much about a random failure. But, that is all it is - a random failure, and there is no way to predict it or to prevent it.
So, I think you will get the same answer from Support or from an Apple Store. Sorry there is nothing more specific, but that's the way it is.....
Cheers,

I have the same problem and I haven't solved it yet. On Friday I plugged in my iPad to my work computer after not having done so for quite a while. Today I went onto the work computer and discovered I had not updated iTunes before plugging in the iPad (and which I cannot do without an administrator password). I guess I will update iTunes and try again when I can get the guy to show up with the password. I hope that works. The reset idea does not work on mine.
Was your iiTunes updated before you tried? Have you found any solution yet? Mail and some internet apps still work but games, notes applications, spreadsheets etc. just begin to open and close immediately.
If anybody has answers I'd love to get some clues.

I Want to download i0s 5
i have ipod touch 3rd gen

You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
Good luck

If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

Can i update to a newer version of software i have 4.2.1 but it wont let me download some Apps as it requires a newer version

Hi guys
I CANNOT DOWNLOAD SOME OF THE APPS AS IT SAYS I NEED A NEWER SOFTWARE VERSION I HAVE 4.2.1 AT THE MOMENT AND I CANT SEEM TO DOWNLOAD A LOT OF APPS FOR MY SON ITS FRUSTRATING SO CAN I UPDATE TO A NEW VERSION?

There are still lots of apps available for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier. The trick is finding them. Here are a few tips and sites which are frequently mentioned in the iPod Touch forum:
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Discussion post by msgarmar - technique to sort apps by date.
iOS Search - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

you can't get the old you tube icon because apple deleted it. BUT you can download youtube app on the app store for free and its actually better and faster than the previous youtube app that you want. hope this helps!

I'm trying to update my daughter's Ipad2 to the new IOS 8 and it's got stuck on the connect to ITunes display. We don't have a computer to connect it to and it's never been connected to one. How do I get past this?

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.

You have to hook it up to a computer and update it to ios 5 and then there will be a "software update" button.

I recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS and it no longer works with my inbuilt car bluetooth. Is it possible to restore to my previous iOS system?

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS.

HT4759 I just updated my iPad to the new ios and now it won't let me use iCloud. I have been in my settings and it says I need to agree to the new t&c's but when I click to do it my device freezes. Any Idea what I can do as I can't download new app either

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.
