I would like to update my ipad to iOS 8, it is currently iOS 5.1.1. My device tells me that my software is up to date.

Except, of course to be able to have the newer features of the iOS, and except for some app developers not supporting it any longer. I know the same "routine" from the desktop computer side of things, having come all the way to the present time ... from a 1984 Mac ... :-) ...
The "new features" did not exist when I bought the iPad and obviously were not the reason for my purchase. Again, it still does everything that I expected it to do when I purchased it. That would not be true if I still held on to my '84 "Fat Mac" (512K).

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.

I am trying to update my ipad, so I went into settings, general and looked for soft ware update and it is not there. So where should I go to update my ipad?
you only update over the air (on your ipad directly) if you have iOS 5 or later, and your profile says you've got 4.3.5
you need to update by plugging your ipad into your computer that has itunes on it -

You may have to consider, if possible, a visit to an Apple Store with Genius
bar. Usually it's best to try & set an appointment. If you know an actual Store
you may call and ask if they can help you set a time to discuss this issue so
as to save you some trouble with using the online Genius bar scheduling.

The iPod Touch you have may not accept the latest iOS8.x system, so if you
have older marginal Apps, they would not work and may not have equal or
similar replacements under the latest iOS version. iOS7 may not be available
and if you should upgrade to iOS8, you probably won't be able to revert back.
After looking around Support online, I do not see a method of restoring Safari
but your device may have one built-in to it; perhaps part of a reset process.
I am not certain... There are some items you may have to attach the Touch to
a computer and use it to see about updates or replacement software.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
To ask a knowledgeable product specialist, and have the iPod Touch model
and serial number handy, may be the best way to go. Expect that with any
upgrade to a newer iOS system software, old apps won't work and new ones
that could be available, may not look, feel or act in the same way as old ones.
Good luck & happy computing! -

I would like to ask if Siri is only applicable after I updated my iPad to iOS 6 or what? And my iPad model is MC706ZP so is this a 3rd generation iPad? Thanks for giving a feedback to my questions!
If you have been syncing with itunes on a computer, then should not be a problem. If you've never dones so, then you should. If you don't have a computer, then at least set up icloud on your device and perform a backup in icloud.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

I Experts, I would like to update the field BANPR with 08 with a BAPI
Hi experts,
I would like to Update the field EBAN-BANPR with 08 (Release Refused). Is there any BAPI through which i can update this field and also it should raise the satandard events : REJECTED / REJECTION_STOP. I did check the BAPI : BAPI_PR_CHANGE, but this will not update that field.Please let me know if you have anything. Please help me.
Appreciate your help in this regards.
Many Thanks,
Prasad NN:I think you'll get a much better deal at the Apple online certified refurbished store. An ipad 2 64gb with cellular is there right now and costs $499.00 vs a new ipad 2 16gb with cellular which is $529.00. They also sell a 32 gb with cellular for $399.00 but only the 64gb is available now. With a refurb from anywhere else, you will not get what you will from the Apple refurb store.
Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurb, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
This way you'll have cellular, all the room you need and then some and you'll save $30.00.
Let us know what you do and enjoy your new ipad!
Hope this helps. -
