Not upgrading to IOS.5?

I use my iPad 2 only for some apps and searching the web.  Is there a lot I would be missing from not upgrading to IOS.5?  I didn't know if a lot of new apps that come out may not be compatible twith IOS 4.3. 

The versions of Apple's Pages, Keynote, and Numbers apps that are in the store have already been updated to need iOS 5, as have some other apps (e.g. so that they can use iCloud). Over time more apps will also get updated and will probably need iOS 5. But you don't have to upgrade either now or later, the choice is yours.
The features that are in iOS 5 are listed on this page and the links from it : http://www.apple.com/ios/ - have a look through them and see if there is anything on there that you'd like.

  • Why my iPad do not upgrade over iOS 5.1.1??

    WHy my iPad do not upgrade over iOS 5.1.1

    If it's the first generation iPad (i.e. the only without cameras) then it doesn't support anything higher than iOS 5.1.1 - it doesn't have the processor nor the RAM (it only has 256 meg RAM ; the iPad 2 and first iPad Mini have 512 meg ; other iPads have 1024 meg) to cope with anything higher

  • I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.

    I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.
    And for this I guess that it is the backing up of my Podcasts - which are free downloads that causes the hang up. These are items that I have played and synced before without issues. I am thinking this way because these are Podcasts that I used to play but sundenly would not play on my iPhone. Each time I try to play anyone of them it generates the message - this movie could not be played.
    I am scared of atempting a system restore because I guess I may lose my SMS for the past two months. Please approach the solution from this point of view.
    Thanks

    It may have something to do with one of your backup files that has been corrupted before.

  • HT5503 I have paid to upgrade storage but I can not upgrade to ios 6

    I have paid to upgrade storage but I can not upgrade to ios 6 please help

    You're welcome.
    When I now try to update the software via my phone it is saying I need 2.5GB of storage to download software but the additional storage is showing on iCloud.
    To download the software on your iPhone, which is not related to your iCloud storage capacity. This has to do with the amount of free storage space on your iPhone.
    You need to free up some storage space on your iPhone. If you have any movies or TV shows avaialble on your iPhone, the fastest way to free up some storage space is by deleting a movie or two and the same for TV shows, and/or remove some music, and/or some apps that you rarely if every use. After iOS 6 is installed, you can re-transfer the movies or TV shows, or music and apps.

  • My sons ipad is older and will not upgrade past ios 5.  can someone help me with this?

    my sons ipad is older and will not upgrade past iOS 5, therefore he is unable to download certian games.  does anyone have any suggestions or help that they can provide to me regarding this software issue?

    The original iPad cannot be upgraded beyond iOS 5.1.1. It simply doesn't have the hardware. There are still lots of apps in the App Store that will run on iOS 5.1.1.
    You can also try downloading the apps he's interested in to iTunes on your computer. Then, go back and try to download them on the iPad. If the developer makes an older version of the software available, you'll be given the option to download that. Note that not all developers continue to offer older versions.
    Best of luck.

  • I Did Not Upgrade to iOS 7 (Thank Goodness).  How Long Can I Continue to Use iOS 6?

    I've only been an iPhone user for a couple of years.  Up until this "upgrade" things have been fairly acceptable.  After reading all of the push-back on iOS 7 and seeing a couple of friends' phones that were upgraded, there is no way I'm upgrading.  I'm eligible for a new phone with Verizon now and before making a decision, I'm going to take some time looking at options.  My question is, how long can I use my 4s with iOS 6 installed before things stop working?  I use a couple of very serious apps on my iPhone that I need for work (weather-related) and I'd like to make sure that they are still functional while I look for options.  Any idea how long before things just stop working?  Can one go indefinitely, as long as one doesn't upgrade the apps too?    Thanks for any insight.

    You can use it as long as your apps are supported and you dont need to restore your phone. I have an iPod 4 that I cant update on and my apps are slowly becoming out of date. As apps are updated for ios 7 some updates may not be compadible with ios 6 so if you really need an app to update good luck. If you phone is broke or something and has to be restored when you restore it it will be automatically updated to ios 7.

  • HT4623 IPad 2 will not upgrade to IOS.70, keeps saying I am not connected to WIFI when it is connected.  Even tried turning of Advast VPN

    I cannot upgrade my IPad 2 with IOS.70, the download appeared to be complete but while it was verifing a "not connected to WIFI" message appeared yet IPad was connected and working.  Not sure what is wrong, even tried to turn off Advast VPN thinking that was the issue but cannot complete upgrade.

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. Also try resetting your network settings under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

  • HT4623 Why will my iPad not upgrade to iOS 7? It is running iOS 5.1 and says it's current when I try to upgrade.

    My iPad is running iOS 5.1, when I try to update software it says that 5.1 is the current version but would like to add apps that require 6.0 or higher. I have not been able to upgrade to ver 7.0.

    If it's a first gen iPad (the one without any cameras on it) then it only supports up to iOS 5.1.1, it can't be updated to iOS 6 or 7.

  • PROBLEMS WITH IOS 4.2.1 ON IPAD - WHY NOT UPGRADE TO IOS 4.2.1

    Hello anyone!
    I recently updated to 4.2..that's great! Multitasking,folders, blablabla....
    I'm asking why the iPad is so cool??
    1.BATTERY.
    2.3G always with you.
    3.Mobility.
    4.Loud spiker.
    Sow I recently updated and it looks like the battery lasts only 4 hours.
    Apple need to update the battery time of 10 h to 4!!
    3G right? 7.2 MB/sec?? I tested my network speed on 3G 5 bars with "speed test" app for iphone, it resoult that the downloading speed is only 1MB/sec.
    Faster is the public network of my city that I thinked that is very slow!
    No battery no mobility!
    On the old spiker I could listen the music in my room and in the entaery room the sound was loud! Now with 4.2 the spiker of my iPhone is louder then my ipad!!
    I spend 700€ for what?
    I want downgrade! Ok, the multitasking is great but for me the most important "why buy an iPad" is the battery!
    Whay is it doing that with the internet speed??
    Why my battery lasts 60% less??
    Why my spiker is 50% lower sound??
    Apple need to do new update to fix that, if this is the price to have multitasking, I want downgrade!
    What you think?Do you have the same problems?

    -to solve tge battery draining problem make sure you have no running apps in multitasking bar, when clicking home button twice you will see apps you have opened down there , keep your finger pressed on any of them for 3 seconds you'll see them "dancing" with a small minus code up in the left, just click the minus to exit the apps, plus switch off wifi/bluetooth/3G when you're not using the ipad to save battery from draining, that should fix the thing, i suppose.
    Another thing, iOs 4.2 came with a badly slow internet and contains several bugs that making some app crashing and damaging colors of some of the apps, for example "run fast" app colors are horribly damaged.
    4.2 has nothing special for me except multitasking, which is i dont call it a real multitasking, and whats making thinga worse Apple doesnt provide any official steps to downgrade their obvious "terrible" 4.2 ios, which is totally annoying.
