Ipad 4th Gen - Can't Upgrade to IOS 7?
So, someone might be selling me their 4th gen iPad. I was under the impression that the ios could be upgraded to 7.0. He says no - only 6.6. Who is right and why?
Thanks,
Miss Bliss

I have installed iOS7 on my ipad 4, now my ipad recognises PDF's emailed to me as jpegs and cannot save them into iBooks, any solutions?
iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), iOS 7Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved -
Ipad 4th gen will not upgrade from v 6.1.6 to 8, have current update on Itunes
I have a 4th generation touch which will not upgrade. I did all the steps I could find, but have not done a reset. I have a current v of Itunes on my laptop which is on a windows operating system. I can down load apps and there is no problem in recognizing my account. I can not upgrade some of my apps because my ipad is not up on its version. Anyone know how to fix this?
The fourth generation iPod touch can't be updated past 6.1.6; iOS 7 requires at least 512MB of RAM, and iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor.

IPad 2 3G, can't upgrade to iOS 5 (1601 error)
I have an iPad 2 32G with iOS 4.3.5, I want to upgrade to iOS 5 and it drops me error 3002 (wich I can "fix" putting the device in DFU mode) and an unfixable one, 1601 wich doesn't let me upgrade (when it's in DFU), any help?
I have the iOS 5 already downloaded.
I don't have any jailbreak or something like that.
Thanks! I hope you can help me!!Well, when you click on "update" and it goes partway through and then says it can't continue that does look somewhat error-like to me. :-). I did do a synch when I first plugged the iPad into my desktop, but had to upgrade iTunes and reboot before upgrading the iPad OS, so everything should be backed up. I hope! I don't know how to check on whether things like my appointments or files that I have created get saved in a synch. Selecting each of my pictures and emailing them to myself is an option, I guess.
I am new to the apple world and the thought of losing six month's worth of stuff is intimidating. If only I knew which things would get lost, I'd be able to work with it.
Thanks! -
if i give my husband my old 4th gen ipod touch and upgrade to a 5th gen can they run on same account?or do i have to have seperate account?
You can use the same account. However, if y want seperate contacts, calendar, Messages, be able to FaceTime one another
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -
Hello.
I am using a PC (windows 7) and trying to update my ipad 4th generation via Itunes. i was trying to update to the latest operating system.
The error message cited above pops up every time.
I just updated the newest version of Itunes, updated windows 7, restarted my computer, turned off virus/firewall, and none of that worked.
I tried restarting my ipad, but theres nothing there. It just says to connect to itunes. The only option Itunes gives me is to restore. I click that, and still get the same error message.
This is a freshly bought ipad and I don't care if the few things I have on it are erased. I just want it to work.
Any ideas?
ThanksI read through as many of those threads as I can find.
They offered the following solutions:
1. turn off anti-virus
2. turn off firewall
3. update itunes
4. update windows
5. restart computer
6. try different usb ports
7. update usb ports
I have tried all of those things and none of them worked, so I decided to start a new thread. -
iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. This is timely and aggravating. Any other solution?
I have also tried a hard reset. I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music".
Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?Successful experience with Apple Care.
If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg ( * this may or may not be there * )
4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad. -

Try updating it through iTunes on the computer instead of over wifi on your iPad

Can't photo stream from iMac 10.5.8. To new iPad 4th G. Can't seem to upgrade iTunes software . What can I do?.. Thanks John.
Buy Snow Leopard upgrade:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
See if the iTunes update is available with software update, get it from downloads (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576), or otherwise find the link to 10.7 in the "how do I downgrade from iTunes 11" threads. Most of them link to non-Apple sites carrying previous software versions like itunes 10.7. -

Dear All,
My iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi Serial Number: DM*******184; Problem: can not connect Wi-Fi, just keep connecting...
Appreciate your advice.
Thanks and regards,

<Edited By Host>Is this happening with one particular network or with all? Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions). -
Can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch
can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch? Device was plugged in to an ipad charger then failed during an update to IOS 601. went to a solid color screen and will only boot to the apple logo on a reset than returns to the solid color screen.
Try the following to get the iPod working.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IOS 7 Major lag problem on iPad 4th gen.
two(2) questions that I need answers to:
1.) On iOS 6 the same animation was shown whether you used the home button or four finger pinched to go home. On iOS 7 using the button results in the stock animation which is fine, but the gesture results in a half closed application hang mess.This particular problem happens quite often. This is a problem that I and other iPad 3rd and 4th generation users have noticed. What is happening to Apple's iPads and what are they doing to fix this?
2.) Since I updated my iPad 4th gen. to iOS 7 Simple tasks like changing wallpaper takes 10 seconds , changing between tabs in settings is taking more than a few seconds. For me iOS 6 was much more smoother than the current iOS 7software. What is Apple trying to do about this?
Pls don't tell us that that we have to erase all content and settings. We shouldn't have to completely wipeout our devices to make the OS work right.
I can't believe Apple let these major problems slip right pass them.You ought to address the questions you are demanding answers to to Apple. There are only other users here in these forums.

After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem
I am having a similar experience. Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating. I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth! My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless. I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade. After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening. I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there. Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!
