My Ipad 2 will not upgrade the new software. How can I update my "outdated" iPad2?

I have not updated my Ipad2 in quite sometime, and I am afriad that it is outdated. Is there a way I can update it? It seriously could have been over a year since it has been updated the software.

If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • Due to my account being hacked, I changed my Apple ID, I did not create a new account.  Now my software updates want the old ID but will not accept the password.  How can I update built in software.

    My orginal Apple ID was hacked, so I changed my Apple ID.  I did not create a new ID.  I have changed my ID on my profile on my MacBook Pro.  However now I have an update for factory installed software iPhoto and iMovie that is asking for the old ID.  How can I get the updates or force them to use the new ID that I am using for every other Apple product I own.

    You'll have to talk to Apple about AppleID and account issues, we are just other users here.

    my ipad 1 will not upgrade past ios4.2, what can I do?

    What computer operating system are you using & what version of iTunes? You have to connect your iPad to your computer to update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next time you can uipdate via wifi.

  • I have an existing iPod account and now have a new nano but my existing account will not recognise the nano. How can I get this to recognise my new device?

    I have an existing account with an iPod classic device. I now have a new nano and want to add this as a secondary device. However when I connect this my account will not recognise the new device. How do I resolve this?

    I have 4 iPods all utilizing iTunes on the same computer.  If you open iTunes and THEN connect the new nano, it should automatically recognize it.  Does it give you an error message?

  • My pc will not let me install the newer itunes, how can I update my phone without losing all my purchases (i'm thinking i'll have to delete itunes and re-install right?)

    I've had my Iphone4 since 2011 but the current operating system is still 4.2.1. I'd gone quite a while between buying things on itunes directly to my phone and synching it to my pc. When I eventually synched it, it told me that I needed to upgrade to a newer version of Itunes. When I try and click on it to get new version my pc will not do anything. The only thing I can think of doing is to uninstall the old itunes and re-install the current one but i'm guessing i will lose all my purchases. Is this the only way to go about this, any help would be gratefully appreciated - thanks mark (chunky74)

    uninstalling iTunes and it's additional components does absolutely nothing to the music/apps/etc that you have downloaded or purchased.
    before uninstalling iTunes, try going to the itunes website, download the install file there and manually install it.
    If you do have to uninstall iTunes, please make sure you're following this article to make sure that you're uninstalling all of the components correctly and in the right order. Uninstalling iTunes, but not doing it the 'right' way is essentially a waste of time

  • My computer will not download the new software??????

    Hello, Welcome to discussions.
    Below are some suggestions. But if you could be more specific about the error messages the community can better assist.
    *Reboot computer and then download again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    *If you are downloading with a particular browser. Try downloading iTunes with another internet browser like
    *Safari for Windows
    *Firefox for Windows
    *Opera for Windows
    *If you are running the file vs Saving the file. Choose to save to desktop vs run. You may also wish to check your Firewall and other security software to ensure it is not restricting downloads and you have administrator rights.

  • When posting to a forum the new version of Firefox does not show the post. When I start up IE and go to the forum there is the post. However Firefox 4 will not show the post. How can I fix this issue?

    Recently I upgraded to Firefox 4. I frequent various forums where I post advise on various subjects. I am finding that version 4 is showing the threads in the forums, allowing me to log in and to post. However the posts as sent in are not coming up at all, even if I get out and return, the page is not "refreshed."

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • My iPad 2 will not complete the download of software upgrade 6.1.2?

    Hi. My iPad 2 will not complete the download and install of the iso 6.1.2 software upgrade to fix the calendar exchange that is draining battery. It goes through the process and then just says there is an error but does not indicate the error. Any ideas gratefully accepted.
    Also I don't know if it is connected but  it also will  not download new apps or iBook I purchased. Please assist if you can.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off the router and then power it back on
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin all networks

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

  • The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

    The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

    Go to Settings>Safari>Auto Fill>On .... Names and Passwords>On .... Use Contact Info>On. Make sure that your contact information is correct.
    Then quit Settings and Safari completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    See if that helps.
