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).

  • Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?

    Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?
    Why?
    This's discrimination for iPad 1 users!
    Why disable it?
    I think your strategy will make many of Apple users dispointed!
    I hope to add multitasking gesture to next updata or fix !

    iOS 5.1.1 will not give the iPad 1 the full suite of multitouch gestures. The hardware won't support those. And you responded to a post that's almost two years old.

  • HT4623 Help getting ios5 on iPad 1

    How can I get ios5 on iPad 1 nothing under settings and I don't have another computer to use is it possible?

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    I appreciate any information you can provide. Using this device is getting annoying !

    I'm using mine right now to answer you and I've not had the issues you are having. Have you tried a Restore from Backup?

  • Since updating to iOS5 my iPad 2 will not sync

      My iPad 2 will not be recognized by iTunes or my laptop after updating to iOS5 last night.  It worked fine in the past.  I have performed all the suggestions from apple and it still will not work.  Any ideas?

    Griff W, If  Sassysoo7's problem is anything like mine (it sounds almost exactly like the problem I posted in my own thread a couple days ago except mine is iPad only; iPhone is fine) none of those articles/solutions/suggestions you and others have linked to will work; I've been trying them for days and nothing works. As said, I posted about this in my own thread and several others and nothing anyone has suggested has helped. I know my Apple ID and password are correct, they work everywhere else.
    When is Apple going to acknowledge this bug/problem and fix it??

  • IOS5 and iPad question

    I just upgraded my iTunes and iPad to be on iOS5. My iPad no longer syncsmovies or photos - iTunes indicates they are synced, but nothing on the ipad. HELP!  It also appears the only way to see music content from iTunes is to now upload to the Cloud.  This doesn't make any sense to me.

    I also had a lot of problems after ios 5. Go back andcheck your settings in itunes. Make sure you have the movies and photos added to the library and have them selected to sync. Then resync and you shoulb be ok.

  • How to update ios5 on ipad?

    Hi can anyone help me how do I upload new software like ios5 onto my iPad? I have a mac and assume I have to use that. Any help much appreciated

    If you are on iOS 4 then yes, you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes - your iPad will be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change. When you have that installed then you should get a Settings > General > Software Update option appear on the iPad so that you can do future updates directly on it.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. 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, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • Just upgraded to iOS5 on iPad. Music app and mail does not work properly.

    Just upgraded iPad2 to iOS5. Music app does not work properly. When I select a song to play, it plays a different song. Sometimes, it just stops playing songs, other times, it shuffles songs.
    Not sure whats going on.
    Worked fine using iOS4.3.5.
    Synced the iPad to iCloud. enabled mail. It shows under settings that the iCloud mail is setup, but the mail does not appear in the mail app. Not sure whats happening with these functions on iOS5.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • After updating to the ios5, my ipad keeps restoring when i plug it into itunes.  I can't sync it or anything, and it has been restored about 20 times today and i can't get any further than that.  Please help!

    After updating to iOS 5 today, i was able to get my iphone working with virtually no problem.  The issue i am having is that after i finished with my phone, i tryied to do the same with my ipad.  Everytime it is plugged into itunes, it keeps saying it needs to restore over and over again.  I have done this about 20 times today and have lost it.  I can't sync anything with it, especially my music or calendars.  Anyone know of a solution?

    This will fix it

  • Itunes 10.5 freezes, trying to install ios5 on ipad

    I just upgraded my iMac to the cloud and it worked well. I upgraded itunes to 10.5 and I try to start it but it freezes. It starts but then the wheel of death takes over and I have to force quit it every time. I want to upgrade my ipad but can't because of itunes not starting.
    Help.

    Ok I figured it out, go and download a free little programed called "Iphone backup Switch" what it does is basiclay turn ON or OFF the Iphone to Itunes backup process.
    Note:
    I used version 1.1 but it seems not to be suported by the company (Microseconds) that does it it also says that it only suports Itunes 8 & 9 so use at youre own risk !
    End Result:
    Every think works flawlessly, I am now running ISO5 !!

  • After installing iOS5, my IPad no longer accepts my accesscode (I'm sure it is the right one)

    Why doen my IPad no longer accept my accesscode (and I'm sure it is the right one !!)

    Ooops.
    I upgraded my 10.6.8 system to 10.7.5. ..No problem, but my practice is to connect an ESATA dock to my macpro. install to the drive in the doc, use migration assistant to migrate my data and apps.   use the os in the doc for 2 weeks, if no issue then I delete the OS partiton in my Internal System Drive, do a carbon copy clone to the internal drive.
    I just did the similar to upgrade to mavericks.   I installed to a new hardrive in my docking station.   (black widow esata dock).  I noticed 10.9.1 is slow stayed with 10.7.5 as my operating system.  now and then I would boot 10.9.1 fire up the console utility and fix the issues that made it slow....
    Now I am at the "burn in stage" mavericks is now running fast and stable.   I'll use all my apps and if it does not break with the applications I run I will eventaully cc my 10.7.5 OS drive to the docking station, file the drive away.. and take my 10.9.1 drive in the doc and cc it to my internal system drive.
    I always wipe out a partion when installing a new OS.  Zeroing out is a bit more thorough, you will know if your drive is junk... but it's overkill for me.
    I figured repartion is ok.
    I'm 2 weeks away from doing a carbon copy clone from my 10.9.1 os drive in my dock to my internal drive.
    by the way.. I am running Mavericks on a 8 core macpro 2,1.  I have a modified bootloader that has an arbitration layer EFI32 to/from EFI64 emulated.
    pretty cool.
    And from new system standards, the old macpro stacks up pretty well:

  • Apple advertised ios5 for iPad 1 as having all the new gesture features- what happened?

    Why does the iPad 1 not receive the gesture commands that were advertised? There is no way it is because of hardware limitations.

    They changed their minds, as to why I have no idea as they havn't said - and I think that is now listed as being iPad 2 only. And how do you know that it's not hardware related ? The first gen iPad has a slower processor and less memory so I assume that Apple have decided that it can't cope with it.
