IOS 6.1.3 installed on iPad but no red circle with 1 on the Settings icon

Hi,
Looking at an iPad to buy on ebay and specifically want to get one with version 6.1.3 still installed. I emailed seller, they sent pic of the About screen in Settings which shows it's on this version (also, it's an iPad 4th Gen, 128GB, if that helps), but in pics of the item, displaying the icons, on the Settings icon there is NO red circle with the 1 in it. Why would this be? I've never seen this before (everyone I know still on this version, on either iPhone or iPad, has this little red circle with the 1 in it, obviously indicating the update, which none of us diehards wanna do, til we absolutely have to of course). Does this mean that this iPad is NOT upgradeable, ever? Would love some help on this, don't want to purchase this iPad until I know why that red circle ISN'T there.
Thanks!

Hello mom_5_01,
The following article should be quite beneficial in your endeavor to update your iPad.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
You may encounter the following symptoms while updating or restoring your iPad:
iPad continually restarts but never displays the Home screen.
An update or restore did not complete and the iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes.
iPad stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
If this occurs, you can place iPad into recovery mode and attempt to restore again. If iTunes displayed an alert with an error code, see this article before attempting the steps outlined here.
Cheers,
Allen

There is a little red circle with a 2 in it over my iWeb icon

Hi There,
I have a rather strange problem and I am a bit embarrassed by it, because I don't know what it means. Anyway when I open iWeb 09, there is a little red circle with a little number 2 in it appears over the iWeb launch-bar icon.
See this screenshot for a more detailed explanation: https://files.me.com/jasongtelford/otc2kg
Can someone please tell me what this means because I have looked every where and I cant find out. I am beginning to think that there might be something wrong with my iWeb
Also can you please tell me how to find whatever thing it is that it represents

Thanks so much for telling me. I have now figured it out thanks to you LOL it was to do with the comments on my blog

Red circle with a number in it on the icon. What is it?

Hi,
There is a red circle with the number 1 in it on the iCal icon on my Dock . Can't seem to figure out what it means. Does anyone know?
Thanks
Gerry

Gerry,
That means that you have an event invitation. Click on the envelope icon in the bottom left corner of the iCal window to display the invitation and choose what to do with it.

IPod Classic 4th, desktop icon red circle with 'x'.

I've got an iPod Classic 4th, 20GB, which I use with my iMac G5. It works fine, I can add/remove music, and it syncs fine. However, whenever it's plugged in, and appears on my desktop, the desktop icon for the iPod shows a red circle with an 'x' on the screen, the same one you get on your actual iPod when it gives you the message: "Do not disconnect". It's not much of a problem, except the device didn't show in boot preferences either when I attempted to use it as an external HD in order to install panther on a partition. Any ideas what this symbol on the desktop icon could be?
Thanks.

All you can do is try restoring the device. If you are unable to you'll most likely have to get the iPod repaired.

Unknown Icon: Red Circle with Feather Inside

I have an Icon that appears on the top of my Curve 8530 and I have no idea what it is for. It is a red circle with a white feather inside of it and it shows up with either the number 1 or 2 next to it and then goes away after a bit. It continues to come and go at various times. Does anyone know what this is for?

The Facebook app icon has a red circle with a number that increases wiyh each phone call. How do I clear that's?

TThe Facebook app icon has a red circle with number that increases every time my phone rings. How do I clear it?

The Facebook app - or do you mean the Facetime app? The Facetime app will show all of the incoming phone calls if you are using the iPad for iPhone Cellular Calls. Settings>Facetime>iPhone Cellular Calls>On.

Red Circle With Number on Dock iPhoto icon

On the iphoto icon on Macbook dock there is a red circle with the number 1. I searched, found out about invites, updates etcetera but, I do not know where these invites are and there are no updates. In notifications I unchecked the badge app icon in photo stream, but it is still there.
Any help appreciated

I have a white 1 in a red circle on my iPhoto icon.
I clicked on the icon, went into iPhoto and then clicked on Photos.
Look at the photos in the iCloud section of the source list - the alert is caused by a shared photo stream. Somebody sent you a new photo in a shared stream or added a comment. Open the shared photo stream in iPhoto and read the comments to clear the alert.
Or disable the notifications for iCloud Photos in the "System Preferences > Notifications > Badge app icon"

Red circle with a "1" in it on App store icon

I first noticed this red circle with a 1 in it and understood from scanning the Discussion pages that it referred to an update pending for one of my downloaded apps. Sure enough, this was the case and I updated the app. However, the red circle is still there with a 1 in it. If I open the app store, the number disappears from the icon, but once I close the app store, the red circle comes back, still with a 1 in it. I have only ever downloaded three apps and none of them are for online games, which I gather can cause the appearance of such a red circle. Can anyone tell me what it means and how to get rid of it?

Hi Ken ...
Try deleting the cache associated with the App store. Quit the App Store first if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Launch the App Store.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
BTW, when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thank you!

What does the red circle with #1 mean on an specific app?

My App store shows that all apps are up to date, but 2 games have a red circle with number 1: 4 elements and Call of Atlantis

I'm not sure how your question relates to apps and games on the iPad. This is the Using iPad forum. I have never downloaded an app in the Mac App Store. The information that I provided is in reference to games and apps using the iPad, but I assume that the Mac App Store works the same way.
Bearing in mind that I have never downloaded from the App Store on the Mac, as I can best remember, only Apple applications and software updates would show up via Software Update. For instance, prior to the Mac App Store in Snow Leopard, any updates that were or are available in any third party applications on the Mac would have their own updaters and will not be available via Software Update. Microsoft Office for example had it's own Microsoft Updater application and those updates never came via Software Update. Software update does not work for third party apps.
Apparently, if you purchase for the Mac App Store, updates are indicated like they are on the iPad with the red number in the circle on the App Store icon in the dock.

IPod Classic 160gb Red circle with Red X

My 160 has always been a little "off". Recently, I got a red circle with a red circle in it icon. Is this really the "kiss of death" I've been reading about. This is a double-whammy for me because my iTunes library dumped out on me and I was only able to salvage about 7800 of 13000 songs. Is it over?

teh apple suport guys will say it's a hard drive failure, which is correct, but the same thing happened to me and i saw this site. it seems crazy, but take the advice here

smack the side of the ipod while holding it hard. do it over fast and over untill you hear a weird sound coming out of it, then it should come back to life. worked for me, saved me 250 bucks, but later my clasic broke down because of the sync failures going on with the classic (if you dont know what i'm talking about, look around the apple discussion site classic page or go here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151907&tstart=15)

Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201544
iPod devices with a Click Wheel
If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
Older iPod models without a Click Wheel
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)

Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201540
It's important to understand the difference between updating and restoring. Updating simply installs the software that controls iPod and does not affect the songs and files stored on iPod's disk. Restoring erases the iPod's disk and restores iPod to its original factory condition.
Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
I hope this information helps ...

HT4623 What are the red circles with a red square in the middle by most of my music since the latest up date?

SInce the last iso up date I have red circles with a red square in the middle by most of my music. The music is now greyed out!
WHy?

Sounds like it is attempting to download the tacks an is hung up.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
You might also try opening Settings > iTunes and app store and signing out then back into you AppleID.
Tapping on the icon you described should also stop the download.
