My iPad was never updated with iOS 5, now I no longer have a pc.
I was lazy and went a year without updating, my ipad was doing everything i needed it to with pre ios 5 version, my pc has since fried and my iPad is in much need of an update. Wha do I do to move forward?
In order to update the iOS you will have to use a computer. The highest version of iOS that the original iPad will update to is iOS 5.1.1. If you have an iPad 2 you will update to iOS 7. Any more recent iPad will already have had iOS 5 or later.

My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?
What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two. -
My ipad 2 was being updated to ios 6.1.3 and when it rebooted it went to recovery mode. I want my ipad 2 back with or without my files.Please help
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
I had to reset my IPhone 5 after the new IOS 7.2 update because phone calls were not coming through. Now I no longer have the microsphone on the bottom of my key pad to do voice texts.
Can any one tell me how to put it back on there?

I bought an Ipad 2 some years back and never hooked it up to my computer (somehow). I was now to update the Ios on it, but when doing that I lost all the music I bought in Itunes.
When trying to buy it back it states "you have already bought this item".. Is it any possibillity to get this music back? I've used quite a lot of money on all that music and it is no fuin having lost it.iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Ipad unresponsive since updating with IOS 8
Since I updated my iPad with the latest software last week, I have had several problems:
1. It doesn't always connect automatically to my broadband network at home
2. My Message icon shows 1 message bu when I try to access messages, the page is blank and I have difficulty getting rid of the screen. It won't allow me to use my fingers to close the app. I have to keep clicking the button (at the bottom of the screen) and eventually it closes down.
3. My Safari is very slow and when I do a search on SafarI I am not always able to click through on the links. I have to try several options down the page before I can get it to work
4. Facebook is very slow
Generally nothing runs smoothly. I really wish I had left thinags as they were and not updated my iPad as I am getting increasingly frustrated. Even whilst typing this post, the words don't always appear immediately on the screen. I've noticed a number of complaints about the IOS 8 update but a lot are related to the iPhone. I have a notification of a software update available on my iPad to help fix bugs, but this relates to iPhones!!! Please, please could you let me know what I can do to improve things. I have the iPad model which preceded the iPad Air and have a memory of 64 gb.You should not.
Having said that, backup is a good thing just in case the unforeseen happens. -
My Iphone 5 says my iOS 6 was successfully updated but I can not get the next step complete as it will not recognize my wifi admin password and am unable to use the phone at all HELP Suggestions??
Enter the correct passcode to access the Wi-Fi, it is NOT the admin password for the Wi-Fi.
Or, simply plug the device into the computer and restore it from the backup there. -

ipad froze and shows itunes with plug while updating with iOS.
That message means that you have to restore the iPad using iTunes now. Something went wrong. This explains how to do it. Read it thoroughly before you start - and take note of the end of the article under Additional Information where it talks about using recovery mode. You might need to use it.

Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?
1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print. -
It was my old work phone and when the company went broke we were all allowed to keep our phones. The service was shut off so i just used it as a personal organiser and used the internet through wifi. I had never updated the software for it because i didnt have a computer to sync it too to do the itunes updates. Is that possibly the problem? how do i make it work again?
Jailbreaking iOS can't be discussed in this forum.
