Ipad wont update past 5.1.1

My wife is an owner in a learning company, they use I pads in there instruction. She has a group of 5 out of 10 that will not update past IOS 5.1.1.
Please advise. These units are critical to her business. Breakdown of problem, purchased 10 Ipads, installed vendors app, All i pads work wonderfully, Vendor updated their App, we updated IPads, all work fine, Last Vendor update Failed due to IPads unable to update past IOS 5.1.1. Please Advise with any assistance or guidance.

If they're original iPads, they can't be updated past 5.1.1. Replace them with newer ones.

Will ipad 2 update past ios7?

I want to upgrade to the ipad 2 from my ipad 1st generation. My question is will the ipad 2 continue to update past iOS 7 I don't want to buy it then in 2 years it won't update and be super obsolete. Thanks

There has been no announcement about any update after iOS 7 so no one will know what the compatibility will be.
The iPad 2 is the oldest compatible device with iOS 7, and usually every year one device gets dropped compatibility.

Ok when I put in my Ipod Touch and I want to update it to the new IOS it wont update past 4.2.1. Why is that? Is it cause of the generation of my Ipod?

My ipod wont update after 4.2.1 Idk why but now the ipod doesn't try to work right or post anything I put up or get into itunes. What's going on?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

My iPhone 4 wont update past iOS 4.2.1

I have a 6 month old iPhone 4 from Verizon. I have not plugged my synced my phone in a while but it seems like it should be updated well past iOS 4.2 however when i try to update iTunes tells me that i have the latest OS. I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my two year old windows Vista laptop, and I am wondering what the problem is, I have already tried restoring my iPhone to factory settings and it still says that there are no updates availible. please help

You aren't reading your version correctly. You don't have 4.2.1. You have 4.2.10 which is as far as Verizon goes. Wait until tomorrow and you can upgrade to iOS 5.0

HT4623 my first gen ipad wont update beyond 5.1.1 is there a fix for this

any way to update the ios?

I too have an iPad 1. Works great until today when I found an app which requires me to update it and it requires iOS 6.1 or greater. So I'd rather update my iPad 1's OS than pay big bucks getting a new one. Obviously there are those of us that love the technology and adopted it early on, but do not have the money to keep throwing at it.
Any suggestions? Go get a Surface and a case of RAID to go with it?

IPad wont update?

I am trying to update my iPad today. I was attempting to update to the newest version about, I think it was 4.3.5. I had whatever the most up to date update was before that. So I left it updating this morning when I went to work and when I returned this evening it was still on the loading screen with the Apple and the status bar still trying to update. I have canceled it 3 times and started updating it again. I have used the download version from iTunes and have even tried updating it from a downloadable file. No dice.
ANY HELP!!!!

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My ipad wont update, say not eligable for requested buil!

my ipad will not update to the latest version iso 5.0.1 it is currently running on 3.2.2, its give a message saying not eligable for the requested build!!!
i have always used the ipad on same computer! it has not been jail broken and i am running the latest version of itunes!!
Does anyone know what i can do to get this sorted please???

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.

User name email was changed but my "sign onto Revel" form on my PC will not change to the new email. I cant sign on to my account from there so my ipad wont update. How do I resolve this please.

How do I change the "sign on to Revel" box when trying to get my PC to update my Ipad. An incorrect email seems to be permanently ensconced there preventing me access?

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

My iPhone 3g or 3gs wont update past iOS 4.2.1

When i hooked the ihone up to itunes it said that iOS 4.2.1 was the latest update for my device. meaning i cant get facebook or many of my favorite games and eventually, im sure the apps i do have will becom out of date and update so i cant use them either!

iTunes is right. You need a newer device to use those applications.
