IPad 3rd generation iOS 6.1 unable to download.

I have not been able to upgrade my iPad to the iOS 6.1. It gives me a message that says "an error has occurred while trying to download"
I've tried turning my iPad off and on. I've also tried logging out & logging in to my iTunes & App Store.i am unable to plug it to my computer and do it thru there because I wasn't able to update my iTunes there either. - I'm not sure if not being able to update my iPad has to do with my apps not working properly, I am unable to open some and other shut down when I'm using them. I am about to throw my iPad against the wall. HELP!

Have you tried rebooting the iPad? It might help, with the apps that are shutting down on you even if it doesn't help with downloading the new iOS.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Ipad 3rd generation, iOS 8, home button issue, with fix

I have seen a lot of iOS 8 home button issues on phones but not much on the iPad. But I started having problems right away. Clicking would not get be back to the home screen. Clicking did not get me out of program. It was all intermittent too.
I found a good you tube video about ipad home button issues. First I tried recalibrating the home button. You hold the power switch down till you get the slider to turn off the iPad. then let go and hold down the home button till the screen changes. that seemed to fix most of the problems for a couple hours. But then it came back.
Next tried putting a drop of isopropyl Alcohol on my finger tip and pushed down and up on the outside edge of the home button, all around the circumference. Then did the cal again. That seems to have worked permanently.
iOS 8 is still slow but I guess everyone has that on anything older than a year.

Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help. Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort. Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
Just sayin.......
Oh and Meg offered the right answer. Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

HT5163 I need one Ipad 128Gb with Retina iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (Black colour), where should I approach in Delhi/NCR for this product? I am unable to find this in Croma and other retailers.

I need one Ipad 128Gb with Retina iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (Black colour), where should I approach in Delhi/NCR for this product? I am unable to find this in Croma and other retailers.
i need one very urgently for my day to day work. Can anyone suggest from where I can get a new piece(boxed) on or before 11 March 2013? As this is already launched in India in Jan month, but still not available with retailers, might be because of less demand of this very product.
Any help will be much appriciated.
Waiting for some clue.

The 3rd Generation iPad does not come in 128GB capacity, only 16, 32, and 64GB capacities.
The 4th generation iPad does come in 128GB capacity.

Terrible noise recording with Apogee Mic in Garageband on iPhone 4S and iPad 3rd generation, both IOS 6

Hey guys
I get a terrible noise on the audiotracks recording with Apogee Mic in Garageband on iPhone 4S and iPad 3rd generation, both have IOS 6 installed.
Apogee support have not been helpfull, neither Google, but maybe you guys have experienced the same problem?
I tried to test on an iPhone 4 with IOS 5 installed and it worked fine, clean recordings, no noise.
Regards Rico

Strange nobody have experienced the same problem
Well, I think I fixed the noise issues myself.
Have you ever noticed the noise from your stereo speakers when you recieve a sms?
Well, the noise I experienced all the time was that kind of 'sms noise'.
What seems to eliminate the problem is this:
In settings,
- turn "Airplane mode" off
- turn "Do not disturb" off (this is a new setting in IOS 6)
Maybe this can be helpful to somebody else

Can't restore iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)

Model: iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)
Non Jail-broken.
I have tried to use iTunes to restore the iPad through restore mode and it gives me error 9 when using my Macbook Pro, and it gives me error 14 when using Windows 7 desktop.
I have good internet connection. I have good USB cable (oem, plugged in directly into desktop tower/laptop).
I have also tried downloading previous firmware and using Shift click/option-command click on restore button via iTunes and choosing specific file to restore the iPad.
Anything else I can do to fix this iPad?
Doing research on error codes on Apple's website:
error 9: security error?
error 14: usb cable error?
I am not sure why these codes are coming up...
How can i get iTunes to complete the restore process. I dont care about any of the data that was on the iPad. All my photos are on cloud and backed up on Macbook Pro via iPhone. It was all synced prior to this happening to the iPad...

Hello TonyTechSupport,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot error 14 in iTunes.
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

That you have a beta copy of iOS or an iPad tied to a corporate account and the beta or corporate credentials are expiring soon.

Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete one by one, so that I can keep one copy of that photo.
Is there a way to delete additional copies of a photo and keeping only one?

IPad 3rd Generation 64GB crashing when updating apps

Ever since updating to iOS 7 (and subsequently 7.0.3 and 7.0.4) I find that whenever I update multiple apps on my ipad 3rd generation I suffer multiple freezes & reboots. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated or failing that details of when a stable version of iOS 7 will be released.

You should let the apps update automatically as and when they are available.

IPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

iPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

Hello there, darney87.
The following Knowledge base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for the issue you're describing with your iOS device showing an Apple logo:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
