Problem downloading itunes 11.1 onto iPad 2

I have an iPad 2 and when I tried to connect it to my itunes account, it sends an error message saying that I need to update itunes to version 11.1.
I tried to do this from the itunes site and it won't work.
I've also tried downloading it from the website but it says that my device is not compatible
Ant help would be appreciated

These are the system requirements needed to sync the iPad with your computer. Do you meet theses requirements?
System Requirements
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access5
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

IPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad .... network settings

"iPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad X you do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, or try again." is the error. The rest of iTunes, sycning, and ipad operations work. I am on OSX 10.6.8. iTunes is the most recent addition.
I've been having this problem for a while but it has yet to go away. Any help please?

OK. Good. The most likely culprit is either your firewall or anti-virus software. Temporarily disable both while you are doing the update (then, of course, turn them back on when you are done).

HT2534 If I've downloaded iTunes on my new iPad but has some else's I'd on it how do I change it to my account details? So I can down load apps ect.?

I've downloaded iTunes on my new iPad but some one else's details come up when I try to download apps. How do I change it to my account details in Oder to download?

Do you sync with iTunes? If you do, you should be able to sync the iPad to iTunes in order to get the apps onto the iPad. If you have never synced the old iPad with iTunes, this will become just a little more complicated - if you want to use iTunes to transfer the apps.
Plus you can download them again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with. This explains downloading past purchases.

And no - they do not automatically appear or download on the new iPad. And you do not have to turn the old iPad off.

When trying to download and update the operating system software for my iPad and iPod I get the following message - "ERROR MESSAGE" There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad "Mikki's iPad". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again. later." Is this a setting on my computer - my network is working fine. I didn't have any trouble before but have just started having trouble. Please help...

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

HT1222 Has anyone else have a problem downloading iTunes 11.1.4?????

Has anyone got a problem downloading iTunes 11.1.4???

Hi There. I had same problem. Go through Apple Support by phone ( no I am not an Apple person) you can leave your phone number, in minutes they call you back. Had great guy in Manilla "take over" my computer. It did take an hour but go along with it. It does work. You will uninstall I Tunes with no loss of recordings etc - guaranteed!
and re-install. Don't stress, for once Apple got it right. Appears that this update is faulty and there are issue's It's not your computer. Beware you may have got a sneeky download of MobileMe Services. May have been just incidental to main issue. If you do get it (it's not Microsoft Windows-It is an Apple Inc product) get rid of it, Uninstall otherwise it will slow things down including Outlook
Good Luck

Problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"

I am having a problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"
I am trying to use the following for my "iTunes Music Location" - \\Nas1\media\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
However, when I try to purchase music, I receive the following message:
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, then try again."
I can purchase songs, the song will begin to download, the appropriate files and folders will be created on the NAS (I can see them), it seems to make two tries to complete the download, then stops, and show me that message.
My network connection (DSL) is fine, and the network is up.
Anything I can do? Is it possible to store iTunes on the NAS, or do I have to set it up to store purchases locally?
Thanks

It has to do with licensing and copyright laws varying worldwide.
Yes, I know. Which is why I won't argue over it. As I said I've never had an issue with it when travelling.
And Apparently the purchase is working fine for the OP, its the actual download that gets hung up.
Anyway, If the Purchase is going fine, then its more likely an issue with the internet connection.
Are you on Cell service when trying to download rather than Wifi?

I can't download itunes movies to my iPad; it doesn't recognize the wifi.

I am trying to download a movie to my iPad. I receive an error message each time telling me I must be connected to Wifi; however, I am connected. My daughter is trying on our Apple TV and computer and receives the same error message. We just performed the 5.1 update. Could this be the problem? Some internal conflict with the software?

Try it again now. This was a system error on Apple's end....the message had nothing to do with what was wrong (and there was nothing wrong with your setup or system).
This started working again at about 8pm CST for me.
This affected rentals and purchases (for me it was on iTunes through my computer hard wired to a network).
If you look at the error message you'll notice that its a mix of upper case and lower case words and the message itself actually doesn't make much sense - my guess is that it was a meaningless error message created by developers during testing before....just a guess.

Problems downloading iTunes after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I just upgraded to WIndows 8.1. When I opened my iTunes it said there was an update was available. I tried to update my iTunes but kept getting errors. SO i decided to try and download the update later but when I tried to go to the iTunes store I got an error saying there was a problem accessing the iTunes store and then my iTunes closed. I looked at some of the comments in the community and tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Now when I try to download itunes I keep getting the following error:
I am the only user of the computer and the only administrator. I tried downloading the installer and then right clicking on it and selecting 'run as administrator' and this also doesn't work.
Please help
Thanks

"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files(x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\sk.lproj\Printing Templates. The instillation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Windows 8 instructions in the following document: Disk Error Checking in Windows 8
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
