Tip - Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.   - How?!!

    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    Symptoms
    When restoring an iOS backup to a iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that is not using the latest version of iOS, you may see the following behavior:
    You cannot see or select the most recent backup from the list of available backups in iTunes or iCloud.
    iTunes displays the alert "The backup [name] cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."
    iTunes displays the alert "No backups available."
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.
    Basically I've done this but then how do I restore?

  • How do you update your original iPad ios

    Hi,  I have the original iPad.  For the life of me , i I can't update the iOS.  I was told i can download the  update. But I am unable to do it.  Please help.

    What version is on there now? If you have iOS 5.1.1, that's the last version an iPad 1 can run. If you have iOS 4.x or earlier, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

  • Is it true that Apple is now pushing out iOS 7 updates to devices automatically and without a users' permission?

    Is it true that Apple is now pushing out iOS 7 updates to devices automatically and without a users’ permission?

    Some people say that it has downloaded automatically when their phone is plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi, but I have left my phone and other iOS devices plugged in overnight several times since the iOS 7 release and have not experienced the same.

  • I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • How do you update your iPod to iOS 7

    Update it as described in this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.0.4 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
    The maximum iOS version for the original iPhone and first generation iPod touch is 3.1.3.

    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.

  • Read this post before updating your firmware to iOS 4.3.1!!

    Hello for all the fellows!!
    In iOS 4.3.1 apple did a wrong thing. Apple remove from the photo app the ability of the user to determine the transition effect of the photos in slideshow mode and this is very disturbing. 
    So take this thing to your attention when you update your iPod touch firmware. 
    Best regards!!
    Atar. 

    Fantastic.
    Yes, things change.
    However, the original statement above is not accurate and FALSE...
    We still can change transitions.
    If the original poster would have asked a question rather than posting an inaccurate statement, I would have answered the question and let him know where they moved it.
    Or, he could also read the 4.3.1 Users Manual to find where it is....
    Case Closed and the false statement has been identified.

  • HT5694 When a Ipad is registered the "Valid Puchase Date" is checked. It says this enables Apple to locate and update your device.Question, when Ipad is stolen Apple should be able to locate the Ipad??? How many Iproduct owners would pay for this service?

    Valid Purchase Date claims to find and upgrade your device. Why when stolen cant they find it????

    All the thief has to do is turn off your location services and the you can not track it, even with the new update you can lock your iCloud but you still can't lock the location services. Thief throws the useless apple device away because you erase and lock your device, and you are out $300 - $3000 cause you still can't track your device!
