How to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5. Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

how to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5? Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

My ipod classic keeps showing error code 1439 and says its corrupted and nothing on the site that it says to do is working has anyone else had the problem

my ipod classic 160 gb keeps showing error code 1439 and says it is corrupted and i have done everything the article on it says to do and still reads the same thing. has anyone else had the same problem if so what can i do to fix it. the ipod is only 2 months old

If it is under warranty, bring it in to Apple Store, most of our suggestions, comes from the Apple support site..
Besides Restoring the iPod, there are winsocks which have conflict with iTunes, perhaps, disable those plugins and disconnect the Internet and stop antivirus, while you are Restoring or Syncing the iPod.

hi there,
if I remember correctly the error code -1 indicates a hardware problem. In that case, you should take your iPhone to an Apple store and have them do some diagnostics.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 for details.

Hello,
I would love to assist with this issue!
I would delete the program and redownload it. To delete it, use your Windows button, search "iTunes". Then right click on the icon, then click delete.
Once you have done this, redownload it using this link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you have any other questions, let me know by replying to this message.

FOTA in N73 doesn't work, it keep showing error

Hello Sir,
I am from India. I have a N73 ME. When i am trying to update device firmware over the air, with configured server profile, it says "Authentication failed, please check server id/password"
I triple checked the settings, and found them correct. What happened, let me tell you step by step.
1. Device manager
2. Check for update
3. Chosen profile created by me.
4 Then it shows checking for updates.
then it shows error "Unable to authenticate, check server ID and password"
Please help me out. What could be the problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No updates of N73 were released via fota, so checking with the device manager would give only 'no updates available', suffice to say it dont support that method of updating the firmware, in order to get that message get the correct settings from your provider also make sure the default profile is set to 'nokia'

My computer keeps showing a blue screen everytime i get online and says memory dumping error

what should i do when my cpu keeps turning off everytime i turn it on and go online. plus their will be a bunch of pop ups that just open up without my permision

Hello gsxbilly750:
         Welcome to HP's forum and malware / virus world oh what fun. First thing is to get your comperter in safe mode. Seeing it has start up issue already I dought if F-8 key will work. So we will do a fource shut down. Turn on your computer let it go to Windows screen then just disconect the power cord from power supply box. Whait until your computer is completely shut down. Now reconnect the power cord and turn on your computer. Use your arrow keys and select safe mode with net working. If this just started happening yesterday then open up Recovery Manager and Select Microsoft System Restore. Click yes in white box click next eventually you will get to a date list choose a date before this happened click next. Let it complete system restore. This is will fix your issue some times. Depends on how much damage was done by malware or virus. If to much damage was done then you need to do a complete system restore. With blue screen of deaf you might have to. Follow the same steps above but select System Factory Restore.
          If you prefer to try cleaning your computer with out doing systems restore. You first need to download Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/malware_lp/?utm_source=adcenter&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=malwarebytes%... Ounce downloaded the trial verson. Type in services in All program search box and open services. Look for your Anti Virus software in list you need to change it from start to stop. Do not close out service window leave it opened. Now open up Malwarebytes and run the scan. Ounce scan is done click fix or delete effections. Then ounce that has been completed you need to uninstall Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes is unistalled. Go to Services window and find your Anti virus software and change it back to start. Close out services window now. Open your Internet Explorer Browser goto tools select Internet Options . Click on Advance tab. Click reset. Close out Internet Explorer and reopen it goto tools again select Internet Options now check mark box delete on exit . Click on Advance tab go down the list and check mark box under securty section Epmty Temporary Files when browser is closed.   click ok. Then click on tool and select Managed Add ons then enable your tool bars ones that you realy need. This now has fixed your Internet Explorer issue. Ounce you fixed these issues reboot your computer.
          If you are still having troubles with bl7e screen Let us know. Thank you frrw.

I was receiving error messages when my computer started up. It says MSVCR80.dll is missing. I attempted to reinstall iTunes but it keeps showing error installing. How can I reinstall iTunes?

I cannot update iTunes. It is giving me a error each time I tried. Upon turning on my computer I get a error message the MSVCR80.dll is missing. Thank you for any help you can provide me.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Why does my computer keep showing a flashing folder and question mark and sometimes a prohibit sign?

Lately whenever I bootup my 13in Macbook Pro (Late2011) it starts off as usualy but than the apple logo turns into a blinking folder thats has a question mark on it or a blinking prohibit sign. So confused on what to do. Please help!!

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
Mac OS X- Gray screen or prohibitory sign appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Keep getting errors that Disk Space is full when it is not

This past week I have had problems with my mac. It started last week when it stopped letting me save files to my hard drive along with running very slow. I still had around 100gb left on my drive at this time. I checked my disk through disk utility and all was fine. The problem persisted and because I have projects due this week I went ahead and backed up my important files and wiped my drive and reinstalled OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5. The problem still persists and applications are hit and miss at opening. When I try to save a file I occasionally get the disk space error. When I try to install bundled applications such as Illustrator or After Effects they always fail. I installed clamx to see if there was any vicious malware, clams would not update its virus definitions and would always fail when attempting too. I finally got it to update and the scan found nothing. I went to disk utility and when I verified disk I got "Problem with EFI partition" I repaired the disk and still issues persist. The Macbook Pro is only a year and 3 weeks old. I had to use a friends computer to post. Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

The Macbook Pro is only a year and 3 weeks old.

My computer is reporting a hard disk failure. what to do?

My hard disk is reporting a failure (Disk Name Toshiba MK6465G4x ATA Device) on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (64 bit OS) which uses windows 7 home premium. When I run a hard disk check, it fails (failure M11V51-55V5Q8-XD003G-60E803). ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Unfortunately with that fail code, no it can not be fixed. Some fail codes indicate a recovery can be run or the check disc might fix it, but not with this fail code.
I work for HP.

IPhone 4 will not update to iOS 5, keeps showing error 3194.

Hey all,
I have an iPhone 4 running 4.3.5. However when i plugged it in and tried to update through iTunes it gets to the verifying software stage and then pops error 3194. I have tried googling this and everything points towards my hosts file. However I have tried this on several other laptops (one MacBook and one Windows laptop) and it shows the same error each time (well an error that said 'This device is not eligable...' on the MBP).
Does this point to a problem with the phone? How can i upgrade to iOS 5?
Thanks for your help!

...I've done that. I've tried disabling antivirus, redownloading iTunes, and downloading from another website.
None of the common answers have worked, thus the reason I posted.
