IPad update to iOS 8.1.3 stalled

Today I was prompted to update iPad system software to 8.1.3.
First, I clicked File/Devices/Transfer purchases from . . . iPad.
Then I synched the iPad to the computer.
Then I manually backed jup the iPad to my computer.
I am very happy I did this, because after I downloaded and installed the new iOS, the process stalled during the confirmation of the installed software. I waited more than five minutes with no movement in the progress bar. I had to force-quit iTunes and shut down the iPad and start over. By this point, I had to choose between a complete wipe of the iPad with the update, or to install the update and restore from a backup.
So far, this is not a question or request for help. iTunes is happily synching all the apps, books,and everything else (I hope) from the latest iPad backup file.
So I guess this is a warning: Be sure to have a fresh backup before you install a new iOS, as Apple recommends.

Jim,
The operation finished OK, and the iPad is now running again with everything restored.
The iPhone did something weird. After completing the update and restarting, iTunes insisted I needed to update the software, so I said OK, and it went through a long process. After restarting the iPhone, iTunes did the same thing, and I said no. This time it immediately started synching the iPhone to the computer, but the Summary window still showed iOS 8.1.2 installed and needing to update.
I had to quit iTunes and relaunch for the Summary to show the update already installed.
Whew!

  • HT4623 Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6?  Memory is not an issue.

    Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6 when memory is not an issue?

    The first gen iPad has a slower processor (A4) than the iPad 2 (dual-core A5) and iPad 3 (dual-core A5X) and 4 (A6X), and it also has less memory - 256 meg, compared to the iPad 2's 512 meg and the iPad 3 and 4's 1024 meg. My first gen iPad got noticeably slower with iOS 5 than it was with iOS 4, so I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6.

  • HT204291 apple tv update and iPad update to iOS 8.2 broke airplay

    First I updated my iPad (2) to iOS 8.2. When I noticed that movies did NOT play from iBooks.
    I checked for an Apple TV update. There is one today, so I did that. Now there is NO AIRPLAY option on the iPad!
    Am I missing some new setting or did Apple break AirPlay?

    between restarting my ipad and restarting my apple tv, it's working again.  However, movies in iBooks are still broken!

  • HT4623 original ipad update for ios 5?

    Can the ios be updated to ios 6 for the original ipad or am I stuck with ios 5.1?

    ...if you wanna change tires within a couple of years, then a car may not be for you.....
    that's about the same.
    I defenitely like the quality of Apple, no discussion!! however I have quite some hardware (PC's, tablets, phones, laptops) some on windows some on Android, and of course my iPad-1 on iOS5.
    It's not about the OS.
    Untill now I never had to change/replace my complete hardware...Okay maintenance is needed and every software comes to an end. But one of my laptops still works on windows (12 years old)... It's not the fastest one but works with all the installed software. The iPad is only on the market since 2010 (27th januari to be precise!!).....talking about the duration of support.......
    Anyway, I stick to my opinion that commercially it's not a good thing (at least not for me) with the current pricing of so called new hardware....

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my old original iPad update to iOS 6?

    My old original iPad will not update to iOS 6

    That's right, it can't and won't. If you read the tech descriptions of the OS you'll stumble across some section called "iOS 6 Is Compatible With ...", which will not include the original iPad.

  • Why wont my iPad update past iOS 5.1.1??

    I have an iPad original that is currently running iOS 5.1.1 that says it is currently up to date, however apps that need to be updated say they can't without iOS 6 or higher.  I have even restored it back to its factory settings and still nothing.  Has my apple product become obsolete??

    It's incapable of running iOS 6 or newer, or application versions which require iOS 6.

  • IPad updated to iOS 7.0.4 and I can no longer access iTunes

    I updated iPad to iOS 7.0.4 and I can no longer use iTunes Store.  I tried accessing store from my music, same result.  I did reboot and reset, didn't resolve issue.

    Hey there Carol1401,
    It sounds like you are unable to access the iTunes store using the app on your phone. Try closing the iTunes app, and then restart it one more time.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • HT4623 Ipad Update to IOS 6.1.3

    I tried to update my iPhone and iPad to IOS 6.1.3.  The iPhone updated without a problem.  My iPad started the update process but then a screen appeared that shows an USB connection to iTunes.  Screen is frozen with this image.  Turning off and on does not get rid of this.  No instructions, etc.  I connected the iPad to iTunes on my desktop.  It said the iPad had to be reconfigured and setting set to default.  When I click "yes."   Nothing happens.  My iPad screen is still frozen with the USB to iTunes image.  What should I do next?
    Thanks.

  • Why won't my original iPad update past IOS 5.1.1

    I purchased an iPad when they first came out and my IOS has always updated when a new version came out however right now its version 5.1.1 and it says my IOS is up to date but I now have APPS that say I need an updated IOS.  I tried connecting wired to my PC and iTunes but no difference in results

    The iPad 1 will not go further than 5.1.1 because the hardware can not accommodate the newer software.

  • My ipad updated to IOS 7 today and now some of my apps are not working properly

    I updated my ipad to IOS7 and now some of my apps are not functioning correctly.  Is there anyway to revert back to previous software?

    I assume that you are familiar with your iPad's portrait orientation lock feature and you have verified your iPhone is not locked in this manner.
    In case you're not familiar, please make sure this icon does not appear on your iPad's status bar:
    If your iPad is not in portrait orientation lock, then the app developer should be prodded into updating their app to fix this defect.  Generally speaking, the App Store indicates a way to contact the developer to inform them of such defects.

  • Since my ipad update to iOS 7.0.2 my iPad has lost all sound , can anyone help me ?

    Since I updated to ios7.0.2 my iPad 4 has lost all sound. I have no sound on any function or app since I updated. My battery is also draining much faster than before the update. Can anyone help me with a fix for the sound issue?

    A number of people have complained of this happening to their iPads. The only recommendation I've seen is to shut down and restart the device. Do this by holding down the power button and "Home" button together for ~ 10 seconds. A red slider will appear asking if you want to shut down. After shutting down the iPad, restart by holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo appear.

  • Safari bookmarks are missing when ipad mini updated to ios 8.0

    Safari book marks missing when ipad updated to ios 8.0

    Sure, no problem.
    Before the IOS 8 update, Apple's offsite file storage system for iWork was called "iCloud".  I had dozens of Numbers files stored on this system.
    Under the new IOS/Yosemite regime, the offsite file storage system for iWork (and now all kinds of other files, too) is called "iCloud Drive".
    When I upgraded my iPad Mini to IOS 8, I selected "Upgrade to iCloud Drive" instead of "Not Now" because I accepted the fact that I would only be able to access my iWork documents on my Mini and the iCloud web interface, but NOT my Macbook (running Mavericks).
    But now it looks like my Numbers files were not migrated for some reason.  They are not available on my iPad Mini or the iCloud browser interface.
    I called my wife at home to have her boot up the MacBook and try to access a few important Numbers files.  She was able to open them and save a copy of each of them to the Macbook's local hard drive.  So I guess my most urgent problem has been contained (I think I may have access to my Numbers files on my laptop), but it is still an open question why all my Pages files migrated from (the old) "iCloud" to (the new) "iCloud Drive" and my Numbers files didn't.
    Clear as mud? 

  • HT1222 i cannot update my iOS 5.1

    Hello....i cannot update my iOS 5.1 it keeps sending error....

    I found the answer! I quit Dropbox!
    My iPad updated to iOS 5.1 just fine (invisibly, even: iCloud) but my iPhone 4 wouldn't, even though both are on my same home network. Even plugged into my MacBook Pro, it wouldn't update the phone—until I quit Dropbox! Then I went straight over to iTunes, clicked my phone under Devices (left-hand pane), and clicked the Update button in the center of the main pane. The download started right away.
