Need Help Updating Backing Up iPad iOS 4.3.3

I have the first version of iPad, but plan to buy the new Air. First, however, I want to backup by iPad so I do not lose my apps and books. I have tried to go through iTunes, with no luck, as my device will not sync, nor will iTunes find my device. (File -> Device is grayed out.) To make matters worse, my grandson signed me up for iCloud without my knowledge. I think maybe the reason I cannot sync with iTunes is that my Apple ID is now associated with iCloud, which does me no good trying to backup version 1 iPad, which to the best of my knowledge has never been updated. (I just read books and my grandson plays games, so why update?) Anyone got any suggestions how to backup my iPad so I can turn it in for an Air, then restore the books (some from iBooks, some from Kindle) and games to Air? Believe me, any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you click the Check for Update button?

  • I need help updating itunes on ipad.  will not operate from pc

    I have been attempting to update my ipad to the latest and greatest itunes for the past three days.  I have spoken with two Apple representatives. Is there an easier way.  The PC is not cooperating even with the firewalls disabled.  Is there another way?  Possible just by adding a link in the address bar of the ipad? The Ipad is currently running under ios 4.2.1

    The PC is not cooperating even with the firewalls disabled
    The only way to update your iPad is with the device connected to your computer using iTunes.
    Try uninstalling your current copy of iTunes then reinstall >  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

    There are often places to go which have free WiFi ie coffee shops, shopping malls, fast-food places.
    You can connect the phone to your computer & download/update via iTunes if you have one.

  • HT1222 I need to update my husbands iPad but it doesn't show a update but he has ios4

    I need to update my husbands iPad but it doesn't show a update but he has ios4

    If you mean that it doesn't show the Settings > General > Software Update option then that only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, with iOS 4 you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - but google have app versions in the store.

    I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
    open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
    restart and PRAM reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    restart boot camp assistant
    Does it work?
    If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

  • HT1338 need help updating to snow leopard

    need help updating to snow leopard

    Hi Billy,
    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

    Thank you.

    You need to have a payment method on file. If the apps are free you will not be charged anything. Either enter your credit card information or purchase and enter an iTunes gift card.

  • Do I need to update my 3gs to ios 5 in preparation to transfer everything to my 4s?

    Do I need to update my 3gs to ios 5 to make a smooth transition to my 4s arriving Friday or can I transfer everything over (restore from backup) from mismatched operating systems?
    thanks

    I want to make sure I'm doing it in a way that will keep important things like my text history intact on the new phone.
    Since that's not something that is "synced" but I believe is rather kept in the backup, does that mean I have to "restore" the new phone from a backup of the old phone? And if so, does the ios have to match on the backup?
    thanks
