IPad 1 won't Update to 5.1--3194

I am trying to convince my neighbor of just how special the iPad is. He is not exactly a techie (-: He couldn't send outgoing e-mail, but that was a simple problem of lack of outgoing mail server password. As I tried to update his 18 apps needing update, I discovered he was still running OS 4.4.3. When I tried to download the update, I got the following error message: The iPad "Leslie Carter" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred. (3194). This happened right after it finished loading the "Extracting Software" screen. Ideas????

3194 usually occurs as a result of restoring on a computer that had modified host files.

TS3274 iPad won't update apps...

I'm having trouble with my iPad - Won't update Apps...

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

HT5957 iPad won't update says not connected to Internet

My iPad won't update. It says I am not connected to the Internet even though I am connected!

Good to know. Thanks.
I restarted my iPad right after posting to this thread and it seems to be working. Just about done with the install now. Should be fine I think.

TS3694 My iPad won't update software saying it can 't connect to the Internet which is not true as you can see from me being able to write this. there is no error code. It just says unable to verify, try again later. Any suggestions?

My iPad won't update iOS 7.0.4 software saying it is unable to verify because it can 't connect to the Internet and to try again later. It doesn't display an error message number. Obviously I can connect otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Any suggestions? Many thanks for your help.

You didn't specify which way you are trying to update - using the Software Update setting on the iPad or by using iTunes. I will assume that you are using iTunes because the kb article that linkd you to here was the one about iTunes error codes.
Quit iTunes, reset your iPad, restart your computer and try again. Disable your firewall and antivirus software of you are using it.
Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

If you are using iTunes to update, try disabling your firewall and antivirus software. If you are updating with WiFi, try using iTunes.

Ipad won't update apps

Thought I'd post this in case anyone else is running into the same issue...
My iPad kept showing that there were lots of Apps to update (72 in my case!). I used the Update All in the App Store, but my iPad never finished updating despite waiting hours and even days later it still wasn't updated. Worse was that all the Apps that iOS was trying to update showing an empty progress bar on the App icon (instead of the blue progress bar through the app as it updates).
The word "INSTALLING" was greyed out on all the items in the App Store Updates section. Ugh, what to do? Didn't want to do a restore and lose all the data.
Here's the slow but sure way to fix this issue (hit like if it works to keep this post active for others):
- Goto the "App Store" and Choose the "Updates" tab. Look at how many apps need updating and write down which apps have the greyed out "INSTALLING" . DO NOT HIT UPDATE ALL, this will only add more backed up apps to the update queue.
- Hit your Apple Home button to go back to the main App screens. Start with the first of page of Apps on you iPad. Look for any App icon that has an empty progress bar in it, and double click it to interrupt the update. The iPad should pause for a second before delivering a message that the update was not applied and then show the original icon of the App. If you get a WHITE blank icon it means the App has been corrupted and you'll need to hold down on the icon until the little X shows up to delete the App (write down the name so you can go back to the App store and install it again). You'll need to go through the entire list until you've stopped the update process of all apps.
- Go back to the App Store and into the Update section and verify each App has a normal selecrtable "UPDATE" button available. DO NOT HIT THE "UPDATE ALL" button in the upper left corner or you'll just recreate the problem again. One by one hit the UPDATE button next to the App that needs updating. Do not update the next app until the previous App is finished. You are looking for which App's update button is going to stop the update process and get stuck! Watch the blue bar on each App until it completes. When it is successful the "UPDATE" button switches to an "OPEN" button. Once you find the App where the blue bar doesn't progress at all you'll find the culprit that caused your Update train wreck.
- You'll need to go back out to the main desktop, find the page and possbily folder that the App is in and hold your finger down on it until it gives you the option to delete it (the X in the upper left of the app icon). Once you delete this app you can go back to update the apps several at a time until you are finished. You will then want to plug your iPad into your Mac/PC with iTunes, or do an iCloud sync to backup your iPad.
Take the time to go back to the app store and flag the offending App to let other users know this App was the cause of your update probelms. Sometimes these issues are noted in the App's release notes with text saying, Users will need to manually delete the previous version and reinstall the App in order to get the latest update.
Hope this helps! Hit like if it does, it something else worked please hit reply and share.

I have the same problem as the OP. Wife clicked on UPDATE ALL in her iPad mini w/iOS 6.1.3, and the iPad tried to update 20 or 30 apps. All ended up with a darkened icon with an empty progress bar, and "Waiting..." displayed instead of the app's title.
Before finding this thread, I powered the iPad off then on a couple of times, and also performed a hard reset. Neither intervention had any effect.
I tried to follow the recipe above. Unfortunately, double-tapping on one of the stuck apps doesn't work as described:
"The iPad should pause for a second before delivering a message that the update was not applied and then show the original icon of the App".
Instead, the icon goes very dark for a second, then returns to its previous state (Waiting...).
I've deleted most of the affected apps, but a few have large amounts of associated data that I am loathe to erese. Fortunately, the iPad was backed up this morning, so in theory I should be able to restore it from the backup.

HT1414 My generation 1 iPad won't update even when I try manually with iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

So I have tried updating in settings and iTunes and nothing any suggestions?

If you have the 1st gen iPad you cannot update via the settings unless you have iOS 5 on it and that is as high as you can go anyway - actually 5.1.1 is the limit.

My IPad won't update or do anything period

Hello-
My IPad (1st generation) won't do any updates and now it just has the black screen with the apple after trying to reboot it. Is it a complete loss or do you think the Genius bar can help me out with this?
Thank You

Have you tried a second reset/reboot ? If you were in the process of updating the iOS on it then you could try recovery mode.

IPad won't update apps after upgrading to ios8 ?

Hello,
I have been having touble with my apps getting updated. This seemed to have started after I downloaded the ios 8 on my iPad. I didn't have the problem before. I had 15 updates its now down to 8 but I have been waiting for the past 4 days for it to complete. It keep stalling/pausing and I have to restart it. I have tried to turn the iPad off and on. I don't want to have to uninstall the apps and redo all of them. Is there something wrong with my it because of the iOS 8 update? Is there a recommendation or a resolution to solve the issue. Thank you

Ipad won't update past IOS 4.2

When iPad (first gen.) is hooked up to itunes and try to update it says IOS 4.2 is the current version. When we try to restore ipad, we get 'there was a problem downloading the software for the ipad. The requested resource was not found.' Running the latest itunes and Lion. Have tried the ipad on two different macs with same results. Pretty well stuck. Please help!

It just says that it has the most up-to-date software. From what I can tell, when they originally released the 3rd generation iPod Touch, the 16 gb one still used the 2nd generation hardware. At the time, it was still called 3rd generation. As recently as last summer when iOS 4 was released, it was still refered to as 3rd generation (the iOS 4 release information had asterisks on the 3rd gen iPod Touch to say that various features like multitasking wouldn't work with the 16 gb model). Now Apple seems to have retroactively decided to just call it 2nd generation. I'm not very happy since it was sold to me as 3rd generation...
