Is it safe to download the new version iOS6?

Is it safe to download the new version iOS6 to ipad3?

Define Safe? It is virus free since there are no iOS viruses. Will your iPad work OK? Mine works fine with iOS 6.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
Transfer purchases.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted"

    I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted". Even when I do accept the risks the site no longer looks the way it's looked for years. Twitter doesn't even give me the option to accept the risks at all and shows this error (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried resetting Firefox, I've checked the time and date, and I've removed and added Firefox to see if that would work. Nothing seems to be working so I can see the sites the way they normally would be instead of "coded". Can anybody help me please?!!! Thanks

  • I am trying to get a document from my cloud and on my Mac it says I need an updated version of numbers but when I go to mac app stores it does not allow me to download the new version which I use on my ipad?

    I am trying to access a numbers document in mycloud and it keeps saying I need a newer version. I purchased the upgraded app for my ipad and now I can't seem to upgrade my computer so that I can get access. I went to the app store but it won't let me download the newer version onto my computer? What is the point of putting things in the cloud if I can't access them?
    Jan

    Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
    Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

  • Firefox won't start, and I cannot download the new version as it keeps saying 'unspecified error' when I try

    We (my wife and I) downloaded the new version of firefox, but found that it was being very jerky and slow and just didn't really like how it looked. My wife did a system restore on our computer to see if that helped, and since then firefox hasn't started at all - if we double click on the icon, it looks like it's doing something and then it just doesn't open. Whenever I try and download it again it comes up with 'unspecified error'. I've tried deleting all the firefox program files from my computer first, but there is one file in conponents that it won't let me because I need administrator permission. It doesn't seem to make any difference anyway.

    Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.<br />
    You need to (re)install software that was affected.<br />
    Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.
    You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

  • Since I downloaded the new version of Firefox the other day I can no longer access all my business banking and wonder can I return to the old version

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox as I was asked and also opted for 1 extra but now I can't remember what it was, an add-on.
    When I have tried since to access all areas in Business Banking
    I'm unable to do so, namely download next day forecasts.
    I've rung HSBC and they have assured me it is not a problem with
    their service as they can read my forecasts. It is very important that I can access this witout daily phone calls as cashflow is very tight.

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks
    See [[Smart Location Bar]]

  • After I download the new version of firefox, it flashes that it cannot finish because I do not have privilages to certain things in the new version. Can you explain this?

    I get all through the downloading process and move it to my applications. It then ask me if I want to replace the old version with the new one. When I click on replace, a new window comes up with the fact that my computer does have privileges for some of the operations so I cannot complete the process. What really gets me though, is that it still pops up saying I need to download the new version. I do not know what to do.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

    I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
    I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

    Look in your Home > Music folder.  There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl  You want to guide iTunes to that file.  If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

  • Cannot connect to the itunes store. Just downloaded the new version.

    i just downloaded the new version of itunes and cannot access the itunes store. I have seen other comments that other users have posted and they have had the same issues. i am hoping that it will start working within the next few days as other users have said. if anyone knows of any other suggestions as to what can do to fix this please let me know. i have already tried the suggestions that this website has given me and nothing works. if someone can please tell me if this has happened to them and if their itunes store is now working!!?? and how long did it take to start working again????
    the message that comes up:
    *Itunes could not connect to the Itunes Store.*
    Make sure your connection is active and try again.

    Unfortunately I have experienced the same thing, what possessed me to upgrade when the older version worked just fine I will never know. Apple instructions are great if you can understand what they are talking about...is there an itunes for dummies out there??
    Having said all that, I ended up restoring my system under accessories, trying to go back to before the upgrade, but don't think I went back far enough. Am not quite sure when I actually made the upgrade and I could only go back a few days. But what did happen was I no longer got the "unable to connect to the store" message, I am connecting, but I have no pictures. The top part of the screen is all blacked out as is any place there is supposed to be a picture.
    I also cannot listen to anything, nothing happens if I click on a song. I haven't tried to buy anything, so not sure if that works or not.
    Any ideas?
    I was dismayed to see that the previous posts were from the first part of March and it is now April. I as a new upgrader still ended up with similar problems. Doesn't Apple fix any of this stuff in a timely manner? A month is plenty of time to find a patch to take care of this.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and my iPod won't sync?

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and my iPod won't sync?

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.
