IOS 5 will refuse to install on my iPad 2

I hope someone can help me. I am about to go insane. I have litereally spent almost 3 hours on this. I am trying to get my iPad 2 on iOS 5. My UDID is registered and everything is good on that end. When I try to restore, I am met with one of 2 messages and it seems to change depending on what kind of work around I try. First is this message:
"The iPad "So and so's iPad" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
I get this message whether I put my iPad into DFU mode first or whether I just go the option-click route.
It was suggested that I change a host file so I did that and sometimes I am met with the above message, or other times I am met with this:
"The iPhone "so and so's iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)"
If you look at that second message it calls my iPad an iPhone? ***? Relevant?
I have completely uninstalled and resinstalled iTunes and still keep running into this problem. Can someone help me! It would be greatly appreciated.
I am using iTunes 10.5.
I have been told to make sure that in Tiny Umbrella, the "Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit" is UNCHECKED. I just dont know what else to do. Please help! SOS!

>because you are posting here we must assume you are pirating the software
Normally, I'd agree. This week, however, many legitimate devs have been kept out of the dev forums, etc. due to an overheated backend.
Best to show mercy at these times, I think at least until WWDC lets out and Apple clears the issues with all the new agreements and individual dev permissions, etc.

If I update my iPhone to iOS 6 will it still sync with my iPad 1 which can not be upgraded?

If I update my iPhone4s to iOS 6 will it still sync with my iPad 1 which can not be upgraded to that iOS?

As there is no way to sync an iPad to an iPhone, your question is a bit confusing. You can sync both devices to iTunes or iCloud. That doesn't change.

I heard the iOS 6 will not be available on the iPad 1 , will I be able to keep Google maps?

I heard ios 6 will not be available on iPad 1 ,will I be able to keep Google maps ?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: The Maps application on iOS5 is, as I understand it, a custom front end for Google Maps that was created by Apple. It should continue to function indefinitely, so long as something does not change on the Google side that would prevent it from accessing their servers. Although I qualified the answer, it doesn't seem likely that Google would do such a thing.

Ios 6 will not load/update on my iPad 3

In my settings (iPad 3), I have an update to load/install iOS 6.0.1. When I try to "Downlaod & Install", it will not accept it, nor will my items from iCloud sync to my iPad. PLEASE HELP....this is driving me crazy!!! Is this a cellular carrier issue (I am on Verizon) or maybe I am just doing something wrong.

Update or Restore again with iTunes on computer. If it works great. If not, write down the Error message so you can look up the cause and solution.

Why isn't iOS 7 allowed to be installed on the iPad 1?

I am quite disappointed with apple's attitude to older products. I understand that the first gen iPad may not contain the necessary components and technical specifications to run iOS 7, but that got me thinking when I installed iOS 7 on my old iPhone 4. I bought my iPhone 4 at the same time as buying my iPad and I know that apple usually specs their iPad with an A# 'X' chip which is slightly more powerful than the current generation iPhone's chip at the time. I did some research and found that the iPad 1 has the 1GHz A4 Processor whereas the iPhone 4 has the 800MHz A4 chip. That beign said, apple only allows iOS 7 to be installed on iPad 2 onwards and on the iPhone 4 onwards. I have read on numerous forums that apple did this because the iPad 1 lack sufficient power to run iOS 7, yet they do allow the installation of iOS 7 on the iPhone 4 (which I have to say is appallingly slow). Now, based on what I found, apple should definitely let us install iOS 7 on the iPad 1 because it is more powerful than the iPhone 4.
I know there are ways of installing iOS 7 on the iPad illegally, such as jail breaking it, but I don't believe in buying a product to change what's its designed to do.
If I overlooked something, a reason for why apple doesn't allow this, please tell me!

For what it's worth, we have several 3rd-gen iPads with iOS 7 and they work just fine. Even our iPad 2 units run fine with iOS 7, though of course not as well as with later units. YMMV, but it's probable that the performance issues with your iPad can be solved. Of course, personal preference comes into play with the look and feel. I prefer iOS 7 myself, but everyone is different.
Getting off the original subject, though, so we won't get too deep into this in Ty's thread. If you would like assistance addressing the performance issues, you'll probably get a number of suggestions if you start your own topic with details.
Regards.

TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
Help please!

I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
In the meantime I have also tried:
Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
But please remember that:
The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
Then started working unexpectedly in December
Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

Hi bhaity2014,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are concerned that your iPhone 4 running iOS 7 may not be recognized in iTunes 12. Your iPhone 4 running iOS 7 should have no issues being recognized or syncing with iTunes 12. If it is not recognized in iTunes on your Windows computer, please use the attached article for troubleshooting assistance.

Do not use iOS 7. Attempting to install iOS 7 will cause your phone to require a factory reset, thus wiping all your data from the device. Save your data, do not attempt to install the new iOS 7.

TS1702 Every time I try to install an app of the App Store. The iPad refuses to install it and it just says waiting... For hours. Is there a way to fix this problem?

I am unable to install any applications from the App Store. Every time I try to install an app the iPad refuses to install it and it just says waiting... For hours. Is there a way I can fix this? If so, how?

I have posted these suggestions many times in the iOS forum and a number of these things have worked for other is the past. Maybe one of them will work for you.
Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625e Refuses to Install

My printer is an HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625e (4620 series). Firmware Version: CAP1FN1451AR
First, this is what I can do with the printer:
Print internal ‘Test’ pages and reports.
Print documents in all applications from a wireless, networked laptop.
Print documents using ePrint.
My computer is an HP Omni All-in-one Running Windows 7 Home Premium X64
The issue is I am unable to (re)install the printer on the HP Omni using either ‘Add Printer’, HP downloads or the installation disk.
Hoping for a definitive solution.
Background: Just over a week ago I upgraded from Office Pro 2010 to Office Pro 2013. When I went to print I noticed the dfautl print was showing as One Note 2013. I selected the HP printer then hit print. I got an error message: Word Cannot Print this Document. There is no printer installed.
I tried to print using NotePad and an Adobe document (thinking it may have been Word related only). This did not work. I could print from any application using the Desktop. But, as noted, I can do so from the networked laptop.
On opening the Printers folder OneNote was set as the default. I changed the default to the HP printer. No luck. I was told it was not installed.
I ran Malwarebytes Premium and Microsoft Security Essentials to check for possible incursions. None.
I then tried System Restore. No change.
I then tried to repair the print program. No change.
I then uninstalled Office 2013. No Change.
I then tried the “Add Printer” function. No Luck. I was informed: “Unable to install printer. Some files are missing or incorrect. Reinstall the driver or try using the latest version.” (Screenshot 1)
I then tried to reinstall the printer. First as a straight reinstall then second after doing a complete uninstall using Revo Professional Uninstaller and an Advanced Scan.
This did not work, yet the printer is recognised as being on the wireless network during the reinstall process (Screenshot 2).
This is what I Cannot do: (Note: during any install attempt I disable both Malware Byes and Windows Security Essentials. I have also attempted installs with the Firewall turned OFF.)
Cannot reinstall on the system. It refuses to allow a wireless network installation even though it shows on the install screen (Screenshot 2).
If using ‘Add Printer, it says files missing or incorrect (Screenshot 1).
If installed using HP Download, I am able to input IP Address but it does not show the copmupter name. It says either. “Computer’s Network Name: Retrieving’ OR ‘Computer’s Network Name: Unable to Retrieve’ (Screenshot 3 & Screenshot 4 respectively).
When install fails, I get the screen asking to search for a solution (Screenshot 5) which then gives me instructions re a download ‘Helper Application’ (Screenshot 6).
After attempting to follow those instructions, the downloaded ‘solution’ does not work (Screenshot 7).
Instead of trying to install over the wireless network I have tried using the USB Install process. The printer then only installs as a ‘Fax’ Printer. On checking the Device Mager – Show Hidden Devices – it shows a ‘Multifunction Device’ with a yellow exclamation mark (!) next to the driver. On checking, it says I need to reinstall the driver.
Any attempt to convert the USB connection (even though it only installs as a fax printer) to a wireless connection fails.

Hi @jindo53,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Thank you for a very well detailed post! From what I have read, I understand that your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625e is refusing to install either as a Wireless or USB connected printer, on Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but I am happy to help!
Please take a look through this guide, 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays for the HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One and HP Deskje....
Tips to avoid wireless connection issues
The following tips can help prevent wireless connection issues. You might need to experiment with each of these tips to secure a successful wireless connection.
Move the product, the computer, and the access point (router) closer together.
Remove any metal objects that are between the product, the computer, and the access point (router). Objects such as refrigerators or metal bookcases can interfere with a wireless transmission.
Move any device that emits radio signals farther away from the HP product. Devices such as microwaves and cordless telephones can interfere with wireless transmission.
Accept or allow any firewall pop-up messages that display during the software installation.
If you connect to a virtual private network (VPN), temporarily disconnect from the VPN during the HP software installation (see your VPN software for further details).
If you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router, you will need to add the HP product's MAC address to the address filter list. You can find the MAC address on the Network Configuration Page. Follow instructions for your router to add the address.
If that does not help, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 7).
Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
If still unsuccessful, proceed to back up your files, and reinstall Windows 7.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

What exactly means "refuses"?
This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
“We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
Get Adobe Support Advisor”
OR
on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
“Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed. Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

Installed Yosemite on Macbook Pro Epson 840 printer will not print. Uninstalled and now will NOT re-install.

I installed Yosemite last night. Today I needed to print a lot of papers. When I tried to print - nothing happened. Would not even print a test page. Looked it up and found information that said to uninstall printer and re-install. After searching a long time for the CD - I have been trying to reinstall and it only installed a tiny bit and stopped. It has been trying for the last hour and refuses to install the drivers! Why don't they tell you this ahead of time. This is such a problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi @tiger14 , and welcome to the HP Forums.
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Commercial LaserJet Forums.
I hope this helps!
