IPad 2....iOS 5 upgrade issues

After hearing the exciting news that iOS 5 was released yesterday, I was quickly saddened by the following issues I have.
I plugged my iPad 2 into my Macbook, and tried to upgrade to iOS 5. It said i need the latest version of iTunes and Lion. So i ran a system update, got iTunes 10.5, and the latest Lion update (don't remember the numbers..). I then got prompted to download and install the latest iPad software update (iOS 5).
I downloaded it, and then it began to do a backup. After the backup, i got an error message saying that "the device is not eligible for the requested build".
What did do wrong?
Macbook 4 GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo, 160GB, Lion
White iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3

Maybe you should try re-downloading it.

IPad Mini IOS 8 upgrade issue

Last Night i connected my IPad mini to my PC to sync it with ITune. I got message for IOS 8 upgrade. So i decided to Upgrade it to IOS 8. And i selected "Download and Update" option on ITune. I got the IOS 8 downloaded but while installing it, it deleted the previous IOS 7 and then gave a error message. Then I found that my IPad lost the OS.
Now I am trying to Restore my IPad to factory setting via ITune, But its failing.
Don't know what to do.
Can any one gave me any suggestion to resolve it ??

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

IPAD 2 -iOS 8 - speed issue

Since iOS 8, my old iPad2 (March 2010) runs noticeably more slowly. However, my other devices that also run on iOS 8, iPad mini and iPhone not affected. Anyone else experiencing this issue, please and if so, any ideas?

If you would like to get your iPad back to normal and working fine under iOS 8.0.2 ... the following is something that has helpe quite a few here on these forums.
There are many users here on this forum who have had some initial problems, and have been able to get their iPads working normally again. I can give you one such solution that seems to work in many cases. With the large majority of users, on the other hand, they have never had any major problems with iOS 8.0.2 (as is the case with me). And in saying that, I'm not talking about some minor glitches, which are small bugs that Apple will fix, but I'm talking about the entire iPad being unusable, as some have reported. There's no way your iPad should be unusable and it doesn't have to be, with the success other people are having.
As I said, there have been many users that have gotten their iPads back to normal from resetting it back to factory default condition. That's what I've been posting in order to help a lot of people here. For anyone else reading this, here are the Apple Support Links for backup and then ... for setting it back to factory default, below.
ALSO ... do know that some people have restored their backups and found out that things slowed down again, which means there is something in the backup that is causing trouble. And many times that could be an app or two that is troublesome. I read the other day that another user had Apple run their special diagnostic software on his iPad and Apple found one particular app that was very bad (causing slowdowns and interaction problems). So, they told him to get rid of the app. When he did, everything returned to normal. So, do realize that even though resetting to factory default helps many people (and it should be done every year anyway, I say ...) that there could be other apps which could cause the trouble, too. And then, as many have reported here, clearing the setting helps at times, too. I've had to clear my network settings a few times, when Safari seemed to be "hanging". And when that happens, it solves that problem. Anyway, there is not just one particular solution that helps for all, but the resetting back to factory default is something everyone should do anyway ... and ... be sure to do your backups, too.

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Cannot load iTunes on ipad after iOS 7 upgrade

Why does itunes not lauch on ipad 2 after iOS 7 upgrade?

I had the same problem as kurt185. But now I found the solution. It is a bug in the iTunes app:
You have to go to Settings>Safari>BlockCookies and must change from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers".
After that iTunes works perfectly.

ITunes on iPad after iOS 6 upgrade

Has anyone had a problem connecting to iTunes after upgrading to iOS 6 on iPad?

Hi
Are you or anyone else still having problems connecting to iTunes since the IOS6 upgrade?
I can connect okay in the Apple store, but not on any other WiFi network. This is really annoying when trying to show the problem to them!
I have reset my iPad2 to factory settings, but it still won't connect.
Anyone have any clues please?

IPad 7.1.1 upgrade issue

After I upgrade my iPad 7.1.1, I lost all my photos from Camera Roll folder, is there any way I can get those back?

Same problem here, it is unbelievable that a minor version update would cause such an issue, at least ask for a backup BEFORE starting the installation of the firmware

Why am I experiencing problems with Facetime for iPad after iOS 6 upgrade?

IPad 2 iOS 5 Upgrade

I tried upgrading to iOS5 on my iPad 2 but it says that the network was timed out and to try again later. I've already installed the new iTunes, rebooted my computer, rebooted my iPad 2. I synced everything. Rebooted computer and iPad, and tried to "download and upgrade". It was downloading, but once it got to the install "process file" part, it gives me the same message. Help?

Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software ?

Airplay issues after IOS 8 upgrade

After the latest IOS 8 upgrade I have a lot of issues.
Both my ipad and iphone are upgraded to IOS8 and after that I can't stream video to my apple tv, you can see that airplay is tries to connect to my apple tv but returns to the ipad/iphone screen after ~5 seconds. Besides of that both devices also have streaming difficulties to my B&W a7 speaker, problem with this one is that it will stop after 15 minutes and to get is working I have to restart the device.
With IOS 7 I didn't have problems at all.
Do others also have this many problems and what can I do about it?
I already tried:
- Restart ipad/iphone
- Closed all active programs via the home button
- Power cycled apple tv / remote speaker
- Reset ipad/iphone (power + home button)
- Re-install all related apps (remote, B&W, video streaming apps)
- Reconnected to my home network
Since I didn't have a problem before the upgrade and this occured on 2 devices after the IOS 8 upgrade, I would say this must be related to the upgrade.
Hope someone can give me an advice.

I was able to recover my voice memos, though the original titles are gone.
I opened my Voice Memos app like everyone else and I saw each memo quickly deleting and acting glitchy. I then connected my iPhone to my macbook so I could attempt to restore the backup I had made before the ios8 update. It said it couldn't be done because there wasn't enough room. However, when I opened my memos app again, the voice recordings were there! I can't verify if it's all of them but I'm grateful I was able to recover some.
I use this app to record lyrics on the go and I'd really like Apple to step up and fix this.

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

I have download iTune 10.5 on my PC but it can't syncronize with my iPad. It show on "Device" iPad and don't show anything in my iPad. I would like to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5.

Since the upgrade, my screen orientation does not change based on the iPad's current position. It is often upside-down?
Anyone else have a similar issue? If no, how did you fix it?
