I would like to update my ipad software but under general settings my ipad does not say update software and I would like to update to a ios 5.0 or higher how do I do this?

I would like to update the version of my ipad from ios 4.3.3 to a 5.0 or higher, but under my ger
nerel settings it does not say update software. So I would like to know how else I can do this.

Hello Babs713,
Which iPad do you have?
You have iOS 4.3.3; you need to connect your iOS device into iTunes, and update it in iTunes. To update over-the-air you need at least iOS 5.

    Recently downloaded new software and now all of my wife's contacts appear in my contacts. How do I change this?

    I suggest creating a separate AppleID for iCloud for each individual and using the same one for iTunes. By having a separate one for iCloud you can keep your contacts separated, have more iCloud storage (5 gigs each instead of sharing 5 gigs) and each have your own iMessage contact. Otherwise you both will be able to see each others imessages. You can still use the same AppleID for the iTunes Store to share music and app purchases. The iPhone "Settings" has different location for inputting your iCloud and iTunes AppleID.

    Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

  • HT4623 My iPad does not say software update?

    How do I update my iPad to iOS 5. My settings/general does not say software update?

    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 (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). 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 (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    A first gen iPad will be update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 .

  • At variance with Firefox 3, Firefox 4 does not ask me to save the opened tabs when I quit on having multiple opened tabs. How can I do this in Firefox 4?

    In Firefox 3, when I happened to close the program on having multiple opened tabs, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save and remember the opened tabs, so that I could retrieve them at the next Firefox restart. Firefox 4 does not do this anymore. Is it because I have not configured it correctly somehow, or is this normal? How can I recover this function?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andrea

    One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

    Can't give you any more details except the URL is:

    That is not a Firefox setting, it is a setting in Foxit. See http://techdows.com/2010/06/how-to-enabledisable-safety-reading-mode-in-foxit-reader.html

  • My iPad does not see any network and i cannot get to place to enter manually IP address etc.

    I have several apple products connected on home wi-fi network. On my ipad, it does not even see the network.  I would put IP etc in manually but I cannot get to that page to do it.  Where is it? 

    Settings>WiFi>Other. Enter your network name and password.
    Have you tried .... Settings>WiFi>Tap your network name>Tap the blue arrow on the right>Forget this network. Restart your iPad then go back to the WiFi settings and try again?

  • I updated my I-pad 1 to the new software and it wont let me open up one of the games (Dream Fish) How do i fix this problem?

    I updated my I-pad 1 to the new sofware for it and now one of my apps (Dream Fish) will not open how to I fix it?

    Assuming that there isn't an update for the app that you should download - and you did check correct. .... You can try closing the game in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad. I know you said it will not open, but I also assume that it crashes when you try to open it, and it should still be in the recents tray.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad does not 'ring' when FaceTime call is coming in. Volume is up..How can I fix this ?

    My iPad does not 'ring' when a FaceTime call is coming in..the volume is up...
    How can I fix this?

    It might be a good idea to reset network settings & reboot your modem:
    Open Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network settings.  You will have to enter your wifi passwords again.
    Also go to Settings->Safari->Clear History & a Website data.

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • I  would like to update or upgrarde my iphone from 4.2  to  5.0 or higher how can I do this task  A.  my phone does not have a "update" setting  I was told to reset all the settings to new B. will this earase all my contact, files ,notes emails  ??? C.

    I want to update or upgrade my iphone 4  to 5.0 or 6 higher how can I do this ?  I my unable to sign into Itunes    I was told to reset all the settings to "factory"  If I reset evevything ,will I loose all my contacts, emails, notes, or any other information that I have saved into my phone  (photos, apps, emails, )  Just as if I had a brand new phone ?    I am not very experience with computers or high tech devices I would have a difficult time uploading on my computer or tranfering data

    Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.

  • HT4972 How come my iPad does not have software update in the settings?

    Help, my iPad does not have software update available in settings, how do I update?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
