My wife's iPad 2 won't update to IOS 5 on her iMac, my iPad 2 updated fine on my Dell PC- what gives?

My wife has a new (less than 6 months old) big beautiful iMac (of which I am extremely jealous-but that has no bearing on the conversation at hand) but every time she tries to update her iPad 2 to iOS 5 on iTunes she gets the error code 3259 at the very end of the 40+ minute download. I own a Dell (over 1 1/2 years old) running windows 7 and I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 when it was first released with no problems. I checked the message boards and they said that they were most likely experiencing an overload of people trying to download off the servers and that was causing the download issues. So I waited and tried again....and again....and again....and, well you get the idea.
I can not fathom how my PC updated fine but my wife's iMac (running the latest update of Lion and yes she updated iTunes and did the firewall settings correctly) can't/won't update it to save her life. Does anyone have any ideas????
Thanks,

Hello jaideniv,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
First I would recommend this article named Can't connect to the iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368. It will get you started with troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues on the computer and the phone.
If needed there is a more advanced article named iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 that I would next recommend.
Take care,
Sterling

IPad 1 won't update to ios 5

My Mum has been given an iPad 1 by a relative who has bought an iPad Mini as a replacement.
She uses a PC so I have installed iTunes onto it and am trying to update the iPad to ios 5 (as a number of apps I'm trying to install for her just won't load without ios 5). However, every time I try to update it I get an error message saying "the disk is full. Removing files and emptying the Recycle Bin will free up additional space". I've emptied the recycle bin but it still won't work and I'm pretty sure the disk is not full as she doesn't use it for much other than surfing the net.
Can anyone help?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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 anitvirus 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 6.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.

If you have not already done so, you need to reset the iPad to the factory settings. http://ipad.about.com/od/iPad_Guide/ss/How-To-Wipe-Your-iPad-And-Erase-Data.htm This will erase all apps and files. Any apps that were downloaded by the previous owner using their Apple ID can't be updated using your ID.
Look at this link.

IPad 2 won't update to iOS 5.0.1

Today I got a WiFi 3G 64GB white iPad 2 running on AT&T. When I got it it was running iOS 4.3.5. When I plugged it into my MacBook Pro, It gave me an error message saying that "The iPad "Alex's iPad 2" is not eligble for the requested build". I've tried rebooting, DFU, re install ing iTunes. I tried mostly anything and can't get it to work. Could it be that because its Christmas time people are tryiing to all update to iOS 5 at once?

Had the same issue myself. Look at the following link. Just done it myself and it works a treat. Be prepared to wait about 30 mins for the full update to take effect.

IPod Touch 4G and iPad 2 won't update to iOS 5?

Hey, I have an iPod Touch 4G and iPad 2 that are both running. 4.3.5 and I am trying to update to iOS 5. I downloaded it for both devices and clicked update, it backs up the device, extracts software, and then say verifying restore with Apple. Then a message pops up saying, "Your device could not be restored. Your device is not eligible for the requested build" and it wont go any further for both devices. I have iTunes 10.5 and all the latest software on the Mac and no security software. I have also tried deleting the .ipsw files for both and re-downloading but that wont work. HELP PLEASE!!!

Okay nevermind, I feel stupid, I had set up those two devices on my previous laptop and thats why it wouldn't sync.

Ipad 2 won't update to ios 5 no matter what I try

I've literally tried everything, I've deleted my itunes twice to make sure I had itunes 10.5. Then everytime I go a try and updat it will take almost 4 hrs and once at 3/4 of the download it will say I have a network issue and go back to zero. I just bought this Ipad in august and I have no clue what to do please help!

If you are getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. If that doesn't work then you could try downloading it via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

If the update is not working from the iPad over wireless have you tried to update the ipad via iTunes. Here are the steps for both ways of updating your iPad http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!

I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
Any ideas?

Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

If you look at the preferences for Flashblock (access from the extensions window of the add-ons manager) and choose Whitelist, you can add a site to that window, and that site will not be blocked by Flashblock at all. You will not even see the Flashblock icon.

Same technique may work for the iBooks app.

Ipad constantly crashing after updating to iOS 8.1.3.

ipad constantly crashing after updating to iOS 8.1.3. I can't restore it to factory settings. I can't even turn it off. It just keeps crashing and trying to reboot etc. Sometimes I see the black screen with the white apple and sometimes the screen is white. I saw it say "Hello" once, but then it crashed again. While rebooting, it does sync up with itunes briefly and is recognized. When I try to restore, it says I need to turn off "find my iphone" but I can't access any settings within the ipad to do that. Also, it tells me I need to enter my passcode to continue, but I can't do that either since the ipad is constantly in crash mode.
