IPad1 need to update to 5.1.1, no iCloud, HELP Please!

I have the original iPad, running iOS 4.2.1.  recently some of my apps have stopped working, and I am thinking that I should update the iOS to 5.1.1- Whenever I go to update in iTunes, there is a warning that says basically if I update to 5.1.1 on my iPad, I will lose everything.  If I update it to the computer, it would be better. 
1) I do not want to have to sync through my PC, I want to go through the iCloud in the future, but can not load iCloud on iPad until I update iOS to 5. whatever.  How can I create this backup, so I do not lose all my apps, contacts, etc, or kill my PC by downloading the iOS to the PC?
2) With the warning it gives you, if I upgrade to 5.1.1, will I then be able to sink back my iPad to what I have right now on my iPad for Apps, etc?
How do I do it and not lose everything?

I have backed up regularly on this PC.  I have not been able to update the iOS because the original PC I had used crashed, and the photos on the iPad needed to be taken off before the sync, or I would have lost the 4000 pics.  I have just used an app to get the pics back on this PC, and have already synced the iPad to the PC through itunes. I do not have icloud set up, as you can not even download it when you are in Ios 4. anything. 
So, what you are saying is once I have transferred purchases (which I have done previously, and today), and synced, I can install this update? 
If I install the update to the PC, how will it update the iPad?  Will that happen when I sync, post updating the PC??
When you say "BackUp, you mean sync, correct? that is all I know how to do with iTunes and the iPad, is Sync...

  • I need a multiple message voice mail app for Iphone 4S that also provides an auto-attendant, e.g the caller can dial 1 for one of business's or 2 for the other. Each of these options will need to have a different voice mail greeting. Help please?

    There are no alternative voicemail apps - the core functionality of the phone can not be replaced.
    You'll have to look for an external service, that can then forward calls for each caller onto the correct phone.
    At our business we use Voipfone.co.uk which allows multiple phone lines to come into one VOIP account.

    If you mean that you have been instructed to contact iTunes support, then will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

    to contact the iTunes Store.
    If that does not answer your question, try posting in your native language, or find a friend with a better command of English to help you ask your question here.

    This is happening to me also but only with certain apps. The message I get with the apps that won't update is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".

  • I need to move SharePoint from Rackspaces to Amazon. Help, please.

    Help, please.
    I need to move SP from Rackspaces to Amazon.
    How can I do that?
    Thanks in advanced.

    How much content do you have in current hosting? Do you have any custom solutions deployed? It depends on what kind of hosting package you have. You can take complete backup if you have access to this functionality and then restore in new hosting. Hosting
    companies help users in setting up sites. There are different options. You can setup sharepoint on amazon and then use third party software to copy sites to new location. Delete sites from rackspace after the migration is over.

    Does iphoto launch as soon as you connect your device?

    Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9: 
    1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks.  Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

  • HT6150 Single press of Power Button does not put my MacBook Pro to sleep after this update! Do I need to change anything in the settings? Any help please? Thank you!

    The title says it all! After installing the new Mavericks update, I cannot put my MacBook Pro to sleep after a single press of the Power Button like before. Does it have something to do with this update or my MacBook Pro? Or do I have to change something in Settings?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    But remember that there are others.
    A moment is a medieval unit of time equal to 1.5 minutes or 1/40 of an hour. This reckoning is derived from the work of Bartholomeus Anglicus, writing in 1240 that each hour was divided into four points, each point into ten moments, each moment into twelve ounces, and each ounce into 47 atoms.
    In modern English it usually refers to "a short period of time",[2] the exact length remaining ambiguous.
