THE Upgrade??? to IOS 8 on my iPad 2

Since 'up'grading to IOS 8 on my iPad 2, I can no longer upload photos to Facebook unless using the Facebook app. Still limited because I can't upload a photo to a post nor direct photos to my art page. The 'up'grade has me jumping through hoops to get photos where I want them to go...emailing to myself, saving, uploading from my computer...on and on. It's become so complicated and it's too late to downgrade. If someone has an answer, I'd love to hear it.
Just like another poster, when trying to upload to the Facebook website, nothing happens. Eventually a little red 'Error' appears and then the photo box disappears. Upgrades should make things easier, be improvements ...

Do exactly as it says, connect it to iTunes to restore it. Follow the instructions below:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately.

After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately. Even while surfing net also it happens. Earlier I thought it may be due to any software/game which is not compatible. But it happens during surfing net on Safri. No option to move back to iOS 7.

Hi BalajiPrusty,
If your iPad shuts down intermittently, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting - note: the article is for iPhones but this section is relevant to iPads as well.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically

why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why the wifi doesn't work after the upgrade to iOS 5?

The problem is that after the upgrade to iOS 5 the wifi doesn't work. I mean, iPad is connected to the wifi but not to the internet and also the connection on the other device doesn't work. So I had to turn off the router and then turn it on.

Try a hard reset first to see if that does any good. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If no luck with that, you'll need to manually connect your iPod to your iTUnes library in recovery mode using the instructions in the Apple support document below. Doing so will allow you to bypass the passcode and restore the iPod.

After upgrading to IOS 7 my iPad keeps restarting - it is now unusable.

After upgrading to IOS 7 my iPad keeps restarting. I mostly use my iPad as an eBook reader and all I am trying to do is read a pdf in iBooks. I get about halfway down the page and the iPad screen goes black and I get the restart apple logo.
I have tried restoring the iPad back to factory settings and restoring my conent but issue keeps happening. My iPad has 57Gb capacity and 5Gb free space.
I need to get this fixed quickly as I rely on access to my pdf documents for work.

After upgrading to 7.1.2 (my Ipad had about 40% battery life left) my Ipad would constantly reboot.
I restored the Ipad back to factory setting and restored from back-up.
When this was done, much to my dismay, it still continued to reboot every 10-30 seconds.
I was pretty PO'd, so I plugged the Ipad into the wall and went to bed.
Next morning, the battery was fully charged and the Ipad no longer was rebooting !!!!
The only problem was that most of my APPs were grayed-out. So, I deleted each of the apps and reinstall them.
The Ipad is working great ... I can't explain it !!!! (only thing I can think of...I should have started to update with a full battery and/or with the charger plugged-in !

Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?

Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS? After 2 full hours I have downloaded 240 MB!
I realize my Internet speed of 2.5 Mbit/sec is not blistering, but it is the fastest available to me at my rural location. It easily manages 8 to 10 GBs of material from other sites.
There are no other users on the system and no other downloads taking place. I am using a wired connection (not WiFi).
Any help would be appreciated.
Paul Good ([email protected])

I am using iTunes and as I pointed out in my query, I am using the fastest connection available to me.
From other sites a file of 1.31 GB would take me less than 40 minutes!

How do I upgrade the version of iOS on my iPad?

I downloaded Numbers and Pages a couple of months ago and today got an update message but when I try to update these 2 Apps I get a pop up message that they are not compatible with this device (iPad 2 wi-fi +3G) says I need to have iOS 5. Can I upgrade to iOS 5 and can I do it on the iPad or do I have to go a PC and download it and then sync it etc etc etc.? What a pain this convoluted method of going elsewhere to download.

You'll need a computer. Just plug in and tell iTunes to update the OS on your iPad.

My iPad 2 (with iOS 4.3.3) doesn't find the upgrade to iOS 5/6

I have an iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.3. It's connected to a MBP on Mountain Lion (10.8.2) with iTunes 11.0 installed, with the Apple account that always has been used for that iPad signed in.
I can't find a way to make the iPad upgrade to iOS 5 / 6 (I don't care much, just want the Netflix app that's now requiring iOS >= 5 to work again).
iTunes just shows "Your iPad software is up to date", again with iOS 4.3.3 on the device. If I click "Check for Update", I get a file browser (presumably to manually find an update to install).
I even downloaded the full iOS 6 update manually through cultofmac.com (iPad2,4_6.0_10A403_Restore.ipsw), but iTunes won't accept it:
"The iPad (name of ipad here) could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible."
I am out of ideas for how to make this software upgrade. Any suggestions are most welcome.
[1] http://www.cultofmac.com/191631/here-are-all-the-ios-6-direct-download-links-for -each-supported-idevice/

You can connect your iPad to your computer and directly click on Update or Restore in iTunes and it will do the rest. (if you have high speed internet). but there is another way to restore or update to higher versions. You can download the firmware file (.ipsw). Connect your device to the pc and open iTunes. Hold shift (in windows. In mac I think it is another key) and click on Update or Restore. A window will appear and you should browse and open the firmware file you've downloaded. Rest of the action will be done by iTunes.

HT4623 Twice I have connected my IPad to my computer and requested the upgrade to IOS 5.01 and twice I have not for some reason received the upgrade. What is going on and what am I doing wrong? I can't get some Olympic apps that require it.

I do not seem to be upgrading to IOS 5.01 correctly - twice I have connected to my computer and received notification that all current upgrades are being added but when I try to download apps that require 5.01 I am told that I do not have a system that is upgraded for this. What is the problem and how do I remedy it?

See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
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 to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

After upgrade to IOS 8.3 iPad Air no longer connects to iTunes

Today I upgraded my Macbook Air to Yosemite 10.3 and my iPad Air to IOS 8.3
After upgrading the iPad I was asked to connect it via cable to iTunes in order to allow for wireless sync.
When plugging the cable in, the iPad starts sending endless alert beeps and the top line of the screen is shaking. On iTunes the error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." appears with every alert beep from the iPAD. No matter how often the OK button is pressed, the message appears rightaway again.
I made a full backup of the iPad Air before upgrading to IOS 8.3 but I am very reluctant to reset the iPad as the same error might come up when connecting the iPad after reset to iTunes and then I would not be able to restore it at all.
Does anyone had a similar experience and/or is there any known workaround?
Many Thanks for any suggestion.
G.W

Thanks for your further consideration, much apreciated. I tried a different cable, different port and did reboot and soft reset. I also did reset of settings on iPad, just in case.
As I can with no problems use the same USB cable and USB port with my iPhone to connect to iTunes, the issue must be somewhat with the iPad Air and iTunes on my Macbook Air. I also can connect the iPad with the same USB Cable to iTunes on a different Macbook with no issues.
I think, best is to do a full backup on a different machine and then setting back the iPad to initial state, followed by a restore.
This I can (hopefully successfully) do with iTunes on a different Macbook.
Many thanks for you kind support.
