Issues with Ipad software update.

i'm currently experiencing issues with trying to update the software on my Ipad 2 (brand new). For instance:
1. when i try to update the software for my Ipad 2, the download doesn't go through, when i'm connected to the internet (which i've checked constantly).
2. when i try to update any of my applications (when there's an update available), none of the downloads go though, when i'm connected to the internet (which i've checked constantly).
i have had no problems BEFORE, whenever it came down to updating applications, etc. on my Ipad 2. i've tried updating more than five times and still the same problem. it's getting very frustrating, please fix this!!!
p.s. - when i tried to update, a box pops up and says:
when that popped up, i even checked my network settings, etc. and reset everything, and then tried updating. but the problem is still their!!!

The eaiest solution is to download the update file directly from the links listed here:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-download-available/
These are links to the Apple servers.
Pick the file that matches your device and dowload it. Connect the device to iTunes, and Option-Click the Update button (Shift-Click for Windows). This will give you a dialog to navigate to the file you downloaded.
Hope this helps

  • Issues with Applications - Software Update after ...

    Hi,
    I recently decided to reset my phone cause I thought it was getting slow. I have the latest firmware installed and have had the free navigation software installed since it was released. After i reseted the phone I wanted to install the latest and free navigation software so I choose Applications -> Software Update but there are no updates available for any software.
    When i reseted the phone i did it by using the method when pressing the power button+shift+space+back space if this is of interest.
    Hopefully someone can help me...I really want the navigation software installed.
    Best regards,
    Jocke

  • Need help with "Nokia Software Updater"...Plz

    " Error 2738.Could not access VBScript run time for custom action."
    my Lap work with W.vista
    and i have N95-8GB
    plz i need a help to update my phone

    Please do a search on this forum for "6280 software update" and you will have your answer.
    Many people have written here about Nokia software updater that tries to flash their 6280 phones with V6.10 (intended for the 6288) and then breaks their phones.
    I myself was busy downloading the firmware for a friends 6280 that was just minutes away from being flashed with 6.10 when I came across messages on many sites telling about the issue with the software updater and 6280 phones. I managed to save that 6280 from sure doom.
    If you also searched before hand you would not have this trouble.
    You need to take the phone to a nokia Service centre to have it flashed now and get it into a working state.

    When I am trying to update my iPad 2 via syncing it with my PC, I get the following error message: "iPad software update server could not be contacted." Any ideas?

    Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then. Reboot your iPad as well.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Are there any known issues with the latest update to iTunes on Windows 7 maxing out the processor and nearly bringing the system to a hault.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with the latest update to iTunes (11.2.0.115) for Windows where iTunes pegs out the processor at 97%, 98%, and holds there for maybe 15 minutes before dropping to 50%. During that time, the system is basically useless. You just have to ride it out. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    4s with latest software update will not power off, text will only vibrate, iPod only works with earphones. When I sync it with iTunes it works until power save mode starts, then back to not powering down, making text sounds, or playing iPod out loud.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...

    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

  • IPad software updates

    I have friends who don't own a computer but want an iPad. They understand they won't be able back up their data but can they get the iPad software updates done at the Apple Store?

    I'm not sure about that at this point. When iOS 5 come out there will be a few features such as PC Free setup and OTA (Over the Air) updates. There will also be the new iCloud service coming which will let you wirelessly backup to the cloud. I would tell your friends to wait for the iPad to ship with iOS 5 and these features before buying.

  • "Can't connect to iPad Software Update Server" Error. How Can I Fix This?

    I keep getting an error saying, "The iPad cannot be updated at this time because the iPad software update server could not be contacted or in temporarily unavailable.", whenever I try to update to 3.2.2 or restore my iPad. This has been happening for a couple of months now. Can someone please help me!? Apple only addresses this issue for Windows. And have searched all of google and can't find anything.

    Ahha! I have just overcome this problem myself.
    Being a highly tech savvy I immediatly assumed that this was a most complex and difficult problem to overcome. So naturally I started looking at things like port 80 and internet proxy options.
    But alas, it was my anti-virus which caused this error! A most dispicable fiend.
    Solution:
    I have Avast anti-virus so I will tell you how I disabled mine.
    Open up the program and its friendly user interface, go to Settings at the top. In the newly opened Settings window go to the left and chose Troubleshoot from the nice little list at the bottom and then in the check box area that has appeared uncheck the Avast defence module. Now hit OK / APPLY.
    Now you may close Avast completely. (Since exitting out only hides it in the background)
    Hit control+alt+delete and open the Task panel.
    Scroll across from programs -> processes,
    Now find the AvastUI.exe or something along those lines and end that process.
    Avast! It is now closed! and you may Restore/Update at will!

    Try posting to the correct forum.
    This is the iPhone for the Enterprise forum... there is nothing about the issue that appears to apply to using an iPhone in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.

  • Performance issues with latest iTunes update

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having somewhat of an issue with the latest update for iTunes (10.5), ever since the update was installed the 'AppleMobileDeviceService.exe' is using all my processing power.
    Now I know my laptop isn't the latest spec, but before this was never an issue. The only way I can still work with it is when I turn off the service via the Task Manager.
    When I launch the iTunes programme it gets even worse, another service called 'APSdeamon.exe' is eating up the processor aswell, albeit they both consume 50% now. As a result I cannot access the iTunes Store or do much else.
    I do have to mention all my music is stored on an external HDD which is connected via USB to my laptop, but this was never any different.
    I've reïnstalled all Apple components twice already, one including a specific deletion of all Apple program folders manually.
    Since I can always turn off the services manually it isn't a big issue, but does anyone have any suggestions or ideas how this could be resolved?

    Hello Mauricio,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.
