If I take my original iPad to the store can I get the software updated?

If I take my original iPad to the store can I get the software updated?  My home computer does not have room for the backup.

Well, you can do that, but your iPad will be totally erased and you will have to start from scratch. You need to backup your iPad and sync with iTunes before you install the update, because the updating process will erase the iPad completely. The reason that you should use your own computer is so that you can restore from the back and then sync all of your content back to the iPad.
You might want to think about the bigger picture and do something to move some of your files off of your home computer because if the hard drive is full, you are going to have computers problems as well, down the road. There are many inexpensive external hard drives available and you might want to take a look at one.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    Thank you for your reply Domingo.  Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes.  But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account.  I did finally get an answer from Apple.  It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution.  Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out.  Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password.  Then you can download the book onto your device.  Not too bad, huh?  It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out.  Geez.  What a disappointing experience.

  • I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

    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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • I bought photoshop elements in the Itunes store, can I get the PC version for free or at a discount?

    I bought photoshop elements in the Itunes store, can I get the PC version for free or at a discount? I'm about to migrate back to PC and I'd love to not have to buy the program again. I'm not sure how it works though since I bought it through the Itunes app store, not adobe directly. Am I out of luck?

    Theoretically you can use the itunes version to qualify for adobe's upgrade discount, but that's it. All download versions are single platform. And in many countries the street price of the full version of PSE is less than adobe's upgrade price, so it's usually not worth pursuing that. However, if you wish to, I'm told you use your apple ID as your serial number when asked. I don't know anyone who's done this, so I don't know how well it really works.

  • What is the difference between iPhone 5 trade in through the mail and in the store? If you trade it in the store, do you get the 200$ gift card right away?

        danamd89,
    Great question. We can understand wanting to get your money right away. If you go into the store and you trade in your iPhone and purchase a new iPhone that is in stock you will receive the gift card immediately. If you do it online before 9/30 you will have to ship the device after you receive your new iPhone and then you will get a gift card in 4-6 weeks.

  • HT1338 Is the only way to get a software update through the Apple Store where you have to give a credit card?  I thought system updates are free.  I don't want to leave a credit card number with Apple.

  • HT1349 My Ipad was stolen, How can I get the serial Number from Apple. It was registered with them

    I had  2 Ipads, a mac book pro and a Mac Air stolen 2 weeks ago
    I am trying to locate one of the serial numbers, but cant find the last box.  Can I get the serial number from Apple. It was registered and now it is not showing up as one of my products.
    Thanks

    The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two,  device connectivity and device sync.  run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

  • HT4623 My iPad is one of the original iPads. On settings, there is not a "software update" to click on. Any suggestions?

    I have the original operating system that came with the original iPad.  I have not updated. When I go to settings > general,  there is not "system update" available to click on. How do I update?

    Settings>General>Software Update is currently only available for IOS 5 and above.
    If your are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software

  • When can we get a software update that will fix the glitch on ipad updates now visible?!?

    Have icon banner notification showing updates available but screen is blank when selecting icon to update the apps... Seems to be an apple glitch as im not alone in this and nothing wrong with my ipad.  Must repair glitch with system update as, obviously, no other way for anyone to update given the issue!!!

    It most likely doesn't require a software update. The problem is probably on the App Store end. It doesn't seem to be affecting everyone. I'm sure it will be resolved soon. You may just have to be patient.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1451 I used to be able to sync all songs that I downloaded from CDs to my iPad. Now I can only get the songs that were purchased from iTunes.  Can someone tell me why?

    I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed?  Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?

    Hi Cricketdaw,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.

  • I have tried over & over to download Firefox but it just disappears every time before I'm able to complete the process--can't get the icon onto my laptop!

    I'm just trying to add firefox to use to access internet besides explorer, but can't complete the process

    Bingo. Thank you! I encoded them in "Apple lossless" when I originally uploaded. Among other things, the files were huge - I'd never noticed. (It didn't matter on my big old 40 MB, now playing in the Choir Invisible...) - I just changed the settings to convert it to (some other format) when it uploaded to the Shuffle, and everything is now fine.

  • HT4623 I HAVE AN IPAD ONE BUT I CAN NOT GET MY SOFTWARE TO UPDATE PAST 5.1.1

    does anyone know what I can do to update to the lastest software so i can use most recent apps?

    That's as far as your model will go:
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • VA14L why after release credit the report can't get the order again

    Operation step:
    1: create one order with delivery block indicate, also block by credit check
    2:run VA14L, the order is in the list
    3:using VKM3 to release the credit block
    4:run VA14L, the order is missing in the list
    Find out:
    Some status(tabke-VBUK) have been changed after credit release
    Question:
    Why the order with delivery block indicate, but after release credit, it can't be shown in this report?
    Does the report filter these order?What's the solution?
    Pls give me some advice, thank you in advance.

    HI
    VA14L  Used to show sales orders that are on credit hold and need to be released by the credit department.
    So once released the sales order will be removed from the list.
