Need iOS6 update help
Trying to get iOS6 update on my iPad 2 but Software Updates doesn't show up under Settings>General on my iPad. How do I get the update then?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Cheers, Tom

My husband downloaded the IOS6 update today and did not read the questions carefully and now he is recieving my text messages. Any suggestions?
He needs to change the Apple ID he is using for iMessage. (If you share the same one you will get each others messages.) To do this, on his phone have him go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID than you are using. (You can continue to use the same ID for purchasing if you want, and it does not have to be the same as the one used for iMessage and other services.)

Facetime Calls Fail to connect-need Network update help
Since we got a new desktop computer (PC) facetime calls come in but fail on connecting on all of our devices. Wifi access otherwise works fine. We have 2 iphone 4s-1 on IOS 6 and one on IOS 7 and two ipads-one on each IOS and the problem is universal so I know I don't need to update IOS as all help says you have to as a first step (it's the apple version of reboot). Anyway, all devices work fine on my office network so it's clearly our home network is somehow blocking facetime. Looking at the network settings on the ipad vs PC Network properties, the last digit of the IP address is different but it's not editable. I tried forgetting the network and going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings and nothing seems to have changed. Our router is cable company supplied and I don't know anything about setting up or changing network settings, there's nothing immediately obvious to change on that screen. Found some help stuff on AirPort utility but it's way above my head-I have no idea if it even applies to a PC...any help/ideas? I'm barely computer literate (obviously) so beyone poking around in the control panel, I'm stuck.
Since all your devices have the same problem, the cause must be something in your router or at your ISP. Something is blocking the required traffic.

Ipad mini has frozen after ios6 update, help?
Can anyone help?
Well, since the procedure does absolutely nothing, it is of no value. If the OP wishes to do a Reset, they would need to push and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version. Even the downloader for the update doesnt show that i need to update.Help plzz????
There is some kind of error. The new version of iTunes is 11.1, which although is not available via updates, it can be downloaded from the Apple website here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
After updating iTunes to the newest version you should be able to update your iOS
EDIT: I just did that and it works -

An unknown error occurred (3194) during ios6 update pls help to get it resolved
There is no supported method to downgrade iOS.
Put the device in DFU mode and restore. Be aware, ALL iPhones require a valid SIM for activation. The SIM does not need to be for an active account, but it must be a SIM from the carrier the device is locked to. -
Help Please! My volume has disappeared when I play music on my iPhone 4s (since I updated to iOS6). Help please!?
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange. -
If i reset my ipad can i install paye games for free if i sign back into my apple ID. Please i need help because i need to update my games but i need to put in this billing thing and i want to get rid of it so then i cant buy games with my credit card
Hello,
As frustrating as it seems, your best to post any frustrations about the iPhone in the iPhone discussion here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone
As this discussion is for iBook laptops.
Best of Luck. -
Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent
Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
My itunes on my PC keeps telling me I need to update my phone to the latest 10.6.3 and according to my phone I have no new updates. This is preventing me from downloading music from my itunes to my iphone. Please help!
It is not telling you to update your iphone, it is telling you that you need to update itunes on your computer.

Quicktime error. It says I need to update to 7.7 but I already have 7.7 installed. HELP
Quicktime is no longer working properly. I get a notice that I need to update to 7.7, but my mac says I have 7.7. How can I Fix this? I'n NOT tech savy, and my live in tech support (my kids) had the audacity to grow up and move away, so please be gentle...
I have OS 10.5.8, Perian and Flip4mac wmv installed by apple at the store. I was having lots oF trouble so Apple replaced my keyboard, wiped my computer and reinstalled the OS and did all the Updates. They also added Flip4mac wmv player and perian. Everything worked great For a while but it's getting messy again. The lower case F has stopped working when I type online, but it works when I type otherwise. (Not sure iF that's related.)What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

My iPod touch was stolen and recovered. I can use my Apple id for this site but the theif changed the Apple id needed to update apps etc and I do not know how to delete his acct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciate
If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done. Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

My daughter's ipod nano shows up in "devices" when I plug it in...but it disappears. Right away it says it needs to update, but then after extracting the files it comes back and says that it can't be updated because it can't be unmounted. help?!
When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
