If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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).

  • IPad wont take a charge

    Two weeks ago I let my iPad batter get so low that it powered off completely. When I got home i plugged it in to charge. I used the same power cord and adapter i've used for the two months I've had it. My iPad wont take a charge, at all. I thought maybe it was the cord or the adapter so I bought new ones and it still wont take a charge. I've tried different outlets, as well as trying to plug it into my computer and nothing seems to work. The only thing I did different in the week before it powered off was that I upgraded to ios 7.
    I'm hoping someone might have an idea that helps.

    And what have you tried in the way of troubleshooting? Use another cable, another charger, checked the port on the end of the iPad, tried a different wall, socket, not use your computer - because it may be charging from the computer but very, very slowly .....
    Maybe a little more information from you ....????

  • Will the iPad 3 get ios updates

    It did not say indeed. Do you always loudly announce your bowel-movements  to the world? I gather no.

    Nope, it's the Refurbished iPad you can order there. There's no such thing as iPad 3 currently, unless you already own one.  The Refurbished iPad is NOT the same article, as it has an entirely different price.  Cuz it's refurbished. Even if it's not.
    It beats me how all those brand new factory-sealed objects became refurbished in an instant. Would've thought it would involve some sort of physical refurbishment process applied.  Must been done by the Higgs Boson. Or the fairies. Or Jesus.  Either case, it's a huge leap in technology - the miraculous mass-refurbishment!

  • Keep losing my secure wifi with iPhone and ipad with newest iOS update.  PC still connected

    Keep losing my secure wifi on my ipad and iphone with newest iOS update. My PC is still connected to same secure wifi. Any ideas.

    Contact xFinity (Comcast) to turn off dynamic channel switching if on and have it set to a fixed channel.
    Usually WiFi routers will only change channels to the least busy when they are initially powered up.

  • My original ipad wont accept iOS? it says"nework timed out" any help?

    i update all the software to windows then when it starts to sync the ipad it says "network timed out".. ive tried everything.. really annoying. please help!!

    If you've tried turning off all firewall and antivirus software and it still doesn't download, then you could try downloading the iPad iOS update via a browser instead :

  • Ipad wont work after update

    I have an ipad 2 that I updated to ios 7. It is now stuck in a restore setting-says to connect to iTunes and has a pic of iTunes icon and USB. Will not respond. How do I fix this?

    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.

  • My iPad wont let me update itself to iOS 5.1 it keeps saying error has occurred?

    I don't know what to do

    What is the error ? And bear in mind that lots of other people are probably also trying to download it, so it just be that the servers are very busy.

  • Anyone else getting server error trying to set up ipad after latest ios update?

    New IOS 7.03 was installed on my ipad2 today and Ive been having issues trying to sign in to my account all day.  I finally got my login figured out but now when go through the setup process for the new update, after I accept the Terms & Conditions it keeps telling me "Apple ID cannot be created due to server error".
    I'm really getting annoyed with all these updates.  Starting to think that purchasing this was money wasted.
    Somebody, please help!!!  This is ridiculous!
    Thank you.

    Instead of going through the rest of the setup and logging in, I skipped it and also skipped the passcode.  My iPad allowed me to get on to it and enter a password for iTunes.  We'll see how long this lasts.  Don't know why I didn't think of trying this earlier.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.

  • IPad wont connect after update 12.0.1

    I just updated to iTunes 12.0.1 (the latest version) and after restarting my computer and reopening iTunes, my iPad Air is no longer appearing in iTunes, my PC recognises the device and the 'Trust this Device' screen appears on the iPad (selecting 'Trust this Device' does nothing), I have tried restarting my pc and hard resetting my iPad, but it still wont appear in iTunes.
    Any Help would be appreciated.
    Kind Regards.

    I had the same problem. Uninstalling iTunes and all associated apps and then re-installing from scratch seemed to get things going OK for me. The re-installed iTunes even kept my previous settings which was a relief.

  • I have a line on my ipad screen after ios update

    I updated to ios 8 about two hours ago, right after the update finished i got this line that runs the whole length of the screen. It's an ipad with retina display.
    At first i just turned it off and then back on. When starting up the line is white and it doesn't go the whole length. But when it's done loading the system it's black.
    I've already tried restoring the ipad, that didn't work.
    And another problem (related to this) is that when i opened this app with a dark background i could see the things i had opened. The apple logo from start up, the text from the twitter app, all translucent, but visible.
    All this didn't happen before, it started right after the update.
    I fear the software could somehow damaged the hardware. Any ideas, please?

    Hm... That's very strange. Are the apps made by the same developer? If so, it may have something to do with that. There may be a fault in the programming.

  • HT6010 My iPad wont let me update because it says I need more usage.

    I bought usage and it still will not let me install updates. What's going on?

    You cannot buy or add add storage space on your ipad. Your limited by whatever you had when you purchased it.
    If your refering to icloud, then has no affect on the space on your ipad.
    you'll have to remove some content from the ipad to create more room to allow for the updates

    I updated my ipad mini (newly opened) to 6.1.3 from 6.1 last night, but when the download finished and the ipad rebooted to start the update, a prompt message pop out saying that update failed. Now I can't open my Ipad mini.
    Tried pressing the home button and the sleep button for more than a minute but still nothing happned, tried charging it on a wall plug but still nothing happened.
    can anyone help me on this? or should i go to the nearest apple support shop?

    Hi Diavonex,
    Sorry, but the ipad still won't open. (tried to do the instruction on how to put the ipad in recovery mode but the ipad still won't respond).
    my Ipad mini screen is completely black.

  • HT1689 ran out of space while trying to ask question! ipad synced, new ios update 10 hour installed, itunes apparently stopped working, ipad mini requires connecting to itunes. ipad detectecte recovery mode, RESTORE.  Restore what? Whole bloody thing?

    I just synced the iPad Mini. then installed ios7.04. After 10 hour installation found that iTunes was frozen, and ipad required to be connected to itunes!restarted computer, reconnected ipad Mini.  Now "ipad detected in recovery mode, restore" Click on "OK" and the only usable default left is reset factory settings.  Does that mean i have to go through the whole rigmarole again?

    Unfortunately yes it does. You might want to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and that may speed up the process. However, you have to restore the iPad again, if it is in recovery mode.

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