My ipad2 needs updated to ios5

How do I update my ipad2 to ios5?

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Have you tried doing a Restore?
For some problems the solution is to download & reinstall iTunes.

Try reset iPad and continue with update
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Do you lose app content on your ipad2 when updating to ios5

I know you can do a back up and restore but is all the content within your apps there? i.e. Pages, bento

Absolutely everything was retained, in the right order and keeping all my contacts, game progress, folders intact. However, it's a counterintuitive process. At first, I thought I had lost everything. After the alleged update was over, I kept trying to launch my apps, and they just blinked, and wouldn't launch. I was in a panic. I hunted around for info online, and found you had you had to reboot your iPad, then Sync it manually on iTunes by clicking "Apply" in the Apps area. All my Apps suddenly appeared on the iTunes screen, in correct order, and started to load very very slowly onto the iPad. This took about an hour to finish. The entire upgrade process was around 8 hours .
I had used around 60 GB of my 64 GB iPad2 (I also have a 32GB iPad1), so even before I Sync'ed it, I had seen on iTunes that the space was taken up. But they only appeared when I Sync'ed it, so don't panic. THEY ARE STILL THERE unless something catastrophic happened.
Even then, you can restart the process again, and install your apps from a backup by doing a Restore (make sure you do have a backup before you start that, although the iOS5 process does so, by default). Always save a copy of your iTunes backup, in an external hard drive or at the very least, in a different folder on your comp.
Good luck!
P.S.: I wish I could copy-paste my reply to every thread, because EVERY iPad or iDevice owner, has this exact fear. Apple has done a very poor job of informing its users this go around.

After my ipad2 was updated to iOS5, my facetime was failed after they ringing.

Thank you LarryHN,
I could not follow what you have explained to me as I struggled to find iPhoto 9.6. Anyway, while I was struggling, I managed to update iPhoto somehow. Finally, I can use iPhoto!
Thank you very much for your quick response.

My iPad2 keeps asking me to enter my password after updating to iOS5.1

Hello,
I can't find the answer to this after lots of searching and it's driving me crazy!
My iPad2 keeps reverting back to the Lock screen and asks me to enter my password. This happens whilst in the middle of using apps, especially ones that involve video. This only started this week when it was updated to iOS5.1. When I sign back in, it is just on my Home screen and the app has shut down. When I go back into the app it isn't at the point that it forced me to leave it.
It is not technically my iPad and as a result I've got to have certain settings on it - I've got to have a password of at least 8 characters and I'm not allowed to reset the whole thing. I can't turn those settings off.
I have tried a restart by pressing the lock and home buttons at the same time, but that hasn't worked.
Is it possible to just go back to using iOS5? Or is there another way of fixing it?
Any advice would be appreciated!

I don't know of a way to lock out of Settings. However, go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Although you cannot restrict settings, there are some other things that you can restrict, like app purchases, etc. Basically, what this will do is require a 4-digit passcode SEPARATE from the one used to unlock the iPad. No one can use features that you have chosen to restrict without knowing the password.

edit the hosts file on your computer and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Disable your antivirus and firewall.

My ipad2 settings menu does not have an update software listed. I'm trying to update to ios5

My ipad2 settings page menu does not have an 'update software' on it. How do I update to ios5?

The update to iOS 5 is a lengthy process. Your entire device is being backed up, then wiped, then the new OS is installed, then your apps, etc., rebuilt on the device. If you have a lot apps, etc., on your device it will take a long time to update.

I updated to iOS5 weeks ago; but suddenly I can't open the mail, contacts, calendar settings and I am not getting any email to my iPad2 AND it keeps trying to connect and it is runnijng the battery down...any help?

I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

Try to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. It won't delete your data.
When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?

Trying to install iTunes 10.5 but wont install and it just seems to hang for several hours and do nothing. Need help cos otherwise I cant update to iOS5 on my Iphone 4. Thx

I have tried many times today to install iTunes 10.5 in order to update to iOS5 on my Iphone 4 however it just wont work. I have a MacBook Pro and when I use the software update it says that I have already downloaded iTunes 10.5 but when I go to install it and it says it is writing the files and the bluw bar is working its way across the page and then becomes very very slow and and at the last millimetre it seems to just hang there and do nothing. I even left if like this for several hours and nothing progressed. I have since tried to update via the iTunes program and the same problem happens. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.

IPad2 update to iOS5 failed and restore fails with error code (6)

I have updated my iTunes to version 10.5 (on Windows 7 32-bit). After that and creating a back up of my iPad, I started the update to iOS5.
For some unclear reason it failed. The only option left was to do a restore.
This restore process starts and I see a progress bar on the iPad.
However iTunes comes up with an error message (translated from Dutch): "The iPad iPad cannot be restored. An unknown error code has occured (6)".
Whatever I try my iPad only shows the iTunes Logo with the USB connector.
Can anybody advice on how to I get my iPad running?
Regards,
Frans.

Only after submitting my question other answers were shown. The error code to which 6 refers is shown on the next page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
In effect: I had to shutdown my Firewall! (How close do you have to be with a vendor).
After the Firewall (ZoneAlarm) was shutdown, the restore worked. and it gave me iOS5

The screen isn't working on my ipad2. It's fully charged and is keeping time and showing which apps need updates, but I can't do anything because the touch screen isn't functioning.

Has anyone had a problem with their iPad touchscreen not working? Mine is fully charged, keeping time, and showing me there are apps that need updates, but I can' get the touchscreen to work. I've turned it off and on several times and connected it o my laptop hoping it would "unfreeze", but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Old computer crashed - have iPhone 4, want to update to iOS5, but need help.

I'm hoping someone can help me. My old computer crashed, and had to get a new one. I lost my iTunes, and didn't have a back-up. The only place I have the data is on the phone itself. I had to re-install iTunes on my new computer, and I want to update to iOS5, but I'm worried I'll lose everything on my iPhone, as I don't have a back-up. How do I take the data (pictures, contacts, email, etc.) from my phone and put it on my computer, so I can update to iOS5, and have a back-up in case I lose it? I already transferred the purchases, so I have all of my apps on my new iTunes, but I don't want to lose any other data. I have Windows XP and an iPhone 4.
Thanks for any help or advice - I appreciate it!
