Install iOS 5 on my iPad 2

I am deployed to Afghanistan and will be here for another 5 months. The internet service here is slow and I can't download and upgrade my iPad 2. Is there a way to buy a disk with it on and have it mailed to me and then I can upgrade my iPad? Or do I just have to suffer until April?

Have a friend download the appropriate file from the 3 below, burn to disc
and send to you.

How to install iOS 6 on iPad 2

How to install iOS 6 on iPad 2?

I see. Sorry. I didn't understand what you were asking.
The way that you decide to update is up to you. I plan updating via WiFI myself and not use iTunes. You have the choice. If you decide to update with iTunes, you may want to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software until the update completes. But you can update over WiFi if you want to do so.
Remember that millions of people world wide will want to update their devices and the servers may be very busy today.

Why after installing iOS 7 my iPad started to reboot by itself, my battery lost autonomy and the iPad got slowwwwwwer?

For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

After installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out

after installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out. Any ideas?

I don't know if your symptoms are the same as mine, but my problem is the same. Specifically:
My update seemed to go fine, but I noticed that items in Notification Center were not current or missing, as compared to the iPhone. Also, when iTunes saw the iPad without it being connected by cable, the portion of the iTunes screen that displayed the OS status was blank, and it told me that I had to connect physically to update. When I did, iTunes confirmed that iOS 5 was indeed installed and current.
With this, I decided to shut down the iPad completely, and restart it. When it came back up, the lock screen had changed. I now get a full keyboard (not just a number pad). When I attempt to enter my 4-digit passcode (and I know I'm entering the correctone), the iPad won't take it. Now it's completely locked and I can't access it.
The odd thing is the way the screen changed to display a full keyboard on the lock screen. This didn't happen to the iPhone.
All devices are running the current versions of everything.

Can't install iOS 8 on iPad with sufficient storage

Can't install iOS 8 on my iPad 3, while there is 6,1 GB of free space available.
iTunes says I have the latest version installed (while it's developer iOS 8 beta 3).
What can I do??
Suggestion for Apple: the iOS installer could temporary remove installed apps to clear space and restore the apps when the installation is complete.

These are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to Apple. To leave feedback : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
How much space is it saying that you require - I thought that on mine it said 6.7, but I wasn't paying that much attention. You could try deleting something else e.g. if you have any films or TV shows downloaded then you could copy them over to your computer's iTunes library and delete them from your iPad.
But if you have iOS 8 beta installed then you should be posting in the developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

Installing ios 5 on ipad

I need to install ios5 on ipad in order to then install ios7. I've hooked the ipad up to my computer and it says "to preserve your content, apply update on computer where you sync music, video and photos". What does this mean? It also says that I will lose all media content on ipad if I don't transfer. I thought when you synced, it transfers this stuff. Any help is appreciated.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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 anitvirus 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.
    1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    4.    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.
    5.    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:
    1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    2.    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.
    3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    4.    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.
    5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    7.    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.
    8.    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.
 Cheers, Tom

Trying to install iOS 5 on iPad 2 but get backup error

Installed iTunes 10.5 and started iOS 5 upgrade. I get the - An error occurred while backing up this iPAD (-5000). Would you like to continue to update this iPad? Contuning will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad. The iPad is less than a month old, have tried this on 2 different laptops, both running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3 on each. Same error messge on both.
On the first laptop I get a backup fail in iTune Sync. On the secone laptop the iTune Sync works including backup, but the backup for the iOS 5 upgrade fails on both. Everyghing seems to have worked fine until the iTunes 10.5 upgrade.
Any ideas? On the first laptop I tried all the steps in the Knowledge base for the ITunes failed backup with nothing helping.

I fixed iPad with recovery mode.
Hold down home / power button together for 10 seconds.
Then release power button.
It will go into recovery mode and you can update to OS5.

How can i install ios 7 on Ipad 1

HT1414 After installing ios 7, my ipad 2 is taking a long time to charge, like 8 hours and not holding the charge. Help

After installing IOS7 on my IPad2, it takes a very long time to charge and does not hold the charge. Should I uninstall IOS7, how do you do that? HELP!!

Do you have the cover on your ipad? If so you may need to go into settings>General and turn on lock/ unlock so that it goes into standby when cover is closed. Not sure this is your problem but it was why my battery didn't last long. As far as long charge time goes I have noticed it is taking longer to charge also. Hope they fix some of these bugs in the first update.

How can i install ios in my ipad?

I have an ipod first generation i need ios,how can i update it????

Depending on how old it is will be the version of iOS you can update to.
You'll probably need to connect it to iTunes and update through there.

Unable to install iOS 5 on iPad 1. I get "This version of the iPad software (4.2) is the current version."

I have also tried to manually upgrade but then I get the following error message:
The iPad "iPad" could not be upgraded. An unknown error occurred (3002). (I have followed the explanation here on the 3002 error but that does not make any sense.)
I have seen other reports on the same issue but found no solutions. Can anyone help?

I fixed iPad with recovery mode.
Hold down home / power button together for 10 seconds.
Then release power button.
It will go into recovery mode and you can update to OS5.

Ipad 1 slows down after installing IOS 5

Adter installing IOS 5 my Ipad 1 slows down considerably. Apps take time to start and especially the writing is so slow that I actually I cannot use the Pad anyomore. I udgraded only because I could not update imoorstant apps (keypad, pages) anymore with the old operating system. But this is no solution. Anyone elseexperiencing this problem or am I the only one?

it just doesn't work...
I used Pages and Keynote and Garageband extensively in ios4, with few problems. now, in ios5 they take quite literally several minutes to load, if they don't crash (usually a 50% chance).
I have been to my local Genius Bar and they suggested "restoring as new", as opposed to "restoring with backup". i took this advice, and did both (post ios5 upgrade) and performance is still just awful.
really loved this device up until now, and could even reliably use it for work. at the moment i have an expensive paperweight and am not at all pleased.
seems i have company here. are you listening apple?
