IPad air cannot install ios 8.0.2

My 16GB iPad tells me iOS 8.0.2 is available @ 1.3 GB.
But - "This update cannot be installed because it requires
7.0 GB of storage.  You can make more storage available
by deleting items in Usage Settings."
In Usage Settings, 8.3 GB is used and 4.4 GB is available.
I imagine that much of the operating system is going to be
overwritten with updated files.  Is there no way to update
this computer?  I have minimal stuff installed beside the
basic OS programs - Keynote, Pages, Numbers, iPhoto,
Movie, GarageBand.
If I uninstall these programs will they be replaced when the
new iOS version is installed?  Must one have a higher capacity
iPad to be able to install the updated OS?  Is there a
workaround?

Gives you details
Basically you make sure you iTunes is up to date. Then you plug your iPad in, open iTunes, click on the name of your device. THen I'd do a backup. Then download and install the update (you'll see a update button in iTunes)

  • Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen doesn't move between landscape or portrait when I turn it. Any tips for getting it to do so?

    Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen only shows the portrait view and won't change to landscape view when I turn the device. Any tips for getting back both views?

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that didn't work, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    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 - let go of the button

  • My iPad 1 cannot install any apps from apple store even though it has been updated to ios 5.1.1 which is better than 4.3 that is required by most of the apps in apple store. I reset factory settings but still to no avail I cannot install any apps.

    MY iPad 1 cannot install any apps

    A lot of apps have current versions that require higher iOS versions than 5.1.1
    But some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps. If the app is free then try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that it's in your account's 'purchase' history, and then in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad see if you can download an older compatible version of the app. If the app is paid-for then try contacting the developer first and see if that will work with their app (and if they have a version compatible with iOS 5.1.1 available) - don't buy the app until you know that it will work.
    There is also this page for finding current apps that require iOS 5.1.1 or lower : https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/finding-a pps-for-older-devices#5.1.1

  • After updateing my iPad Air 2 to iOS 8.3, it no longer works

    After updating my iPad Air 2 to iOS 8.3, it no longer works.  It is a 64 GB model.
    The opening screen is the same as when I first starting using it, with "welcome" in various languages.
    I have gone through the operations requested, iCloud, etc. but at the very end I get my home screen for about 1 second, then the machine shuts down.
    I backed up and synced the iPad before installing iOS 8.3, and tried a restore, but it made no difference.
    You guys out there have never let me down yet!  I hope you can help!
    Thanks in advance.

    You're not alone in this problem.  My iPad Mini 3 was working great until the iOS 8.3 update, which kicked into the same loop you're describing.  Sounds like at least one person has had luck with factory restore.  Check out the thread here:  Anyone else seeing issue with iOS 8.3 update on iPad Mini 3?

  • Cannot install iOS 7.1 on ipad2, message "software update available at this time. Please try again later."

    Hello,
    Can anyone help? I cannot install ioS 7.1 on my ipad2, message displayed "software update is not available at this time.  Try again later".
    Thanks

    An iOS update to version 7.1.1 was just released. The update servers might be too busy at the time you tried to update. ID suggest waiting until later in the day and then try again.

  • I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

    I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

    Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
    There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
    Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
    Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

  • How you close an application on ipad 4 after installing ios 7

    How you close an application on ipad 4 after installing ios 7

    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • IPad Air restarting after iOS 8 upgrade...?

    I Was happy with iOS 7 with latest upgrades. No problem since then.
    i just updated to iOS 8 and problem starts..
    1: after upgrade to iOS 8 , my iPad Air keeps restarting on every single apps I open.( fb, YouTube, Safari, airborn8 game, behance etc.). Is there any solve ? Or should I revert to iOS 7 ?
    2: when I starts airborn 8 , it initially jerks, stops. Finally ipad restarts with blue screen. Should I revert it back to ios 7 ?
    3: iPad seems unresponsive sometime. It happens for every app. Should I revert to iOS 7 ?
    4: now I am facing another funny problem. I got a update of IOS 8.0.1 but after downloading it , when I tap the install option, it shows "sorry, we can not install update as you are not connected ". I cross checked my connection every time. Yes every other apps and web pages are loading like charm as usual with my 4 Mbps connection.
    5: iPad is heating up too much , even during this question typing. And battery drains 5% already
    please solve this issues ASAP. And let me use a stable, beautiful iOS 8.

    I & my friend have the same problem. Apple kindly reply ASAP. what if this constant restart cause hardware problem? Product is under warranty but time is also expensive element.

  • The Nano-SIM slot in iPad Air cannot working

    I have iPad Air (WiFi + Cellular) since a year ago. Its capacity is 32 GB (26.6 GB net) and its iOS version is 8.1.3. I didn't have any problems recently, but its Nano-SIM slot is damaged and cannot be used anymore. It happened when I put my iPad on a bed, then it got bounced and fell to the floor. Luckily, the battery is in good condition and able to be recharged. Its WiFi, apps, and other components can be used as usual.

    It sounds as if what you have is an iPad 2 WiFi+3G from Verizon. It will have no SIM slot and will only work on CDMA networks (for all practical purposes, only on Verizon's CDMA network).

  • Ipad Air Cannot Connect to Itunes on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    I just got a new Macbook Pro 13" retina, when I try to sync my Ipad Air with my computer two things happen.  1) On my Ipad Air, a "Trust This Computer" messages flashes continuously and nothing happens if I hit Trust because the message disappears and reappears too quickly.  2) On my Macbook Pro 13" retina, on itunes a message says that "Itunes cannot connect to this Iphone.  The device is no longer connected."  I am running Itunes 11.1.5 and my Ipad is running ios 7.0.6.  What do you suggest to fix this issue?

    When I plug the iPads into the computer, running OSX 10.9.3, I get an unending series of beeps and a message asking if I trust this computer. Unable to reply to the appearing and disappearing message. Another post sent me to an apple link saying this computer only supports USB 3 devices. Been using macs since the late 80s. I will find the answer and return.

  • Cannot Install iOS 8 even if correct IPSW used

    Hi,
    I cannot install the iOS8 IPSW file that I have downloaded. I had this phone as part of the developer license but that developer license has already expired and I have not renewed it. For this reason, I was not able to download the GM Seed version. I wanted to upgrade to the released version of the iOS. How can I do this?
    Thank you
