Trying to update my iPad, help???

I'm trying to update my iPad to the newest iOS that is suggested in iTunes but it tajes FOREVER to download the 794.2MB. I've tried constantly for the last 24 hours and the closest I've gotten is 625 MB and then there is a disruption and I have to start over. Why can't Apple begin where it left off like other downloads? Why does it have to start from the beginning each time? What can I do? If I take my iPad to an Apple store, can they help?

Have you tried disabling your firewall and turn off your antivirus software while you try to download the update? It does take a while to download, and it has been well over a year (probably longer) that I updated any of my devices using iTunes, but I know that when I updated from iOS 4.X to iOS 5, it took no longer than 90 minutes, start to finish.
Yes an Apple Store would be willing to help, but make an appointment first, and backup and sync with iTunes one last time if and when you take the iPad to the Apple Store.

Somebody please help me

Connect the iPad to iTunes, and do the update with iTunes.
The 4.1.2 ipsw file will not work, no longer supported.
The incremental update directly on the iPad does not work either, unless you are already on iOS 5.
Let iTunes do the job, you already lost too much time by doing it yourself.

You have to connect your iPad to your computer now and restore the iOS software with iTunes. The update went bad. Read about how to do it here.

I am trying to update my ipad from iOS 4.3.5 to 6.1.3. 6 hours ago it said 49 hours and now says 53 hours. I am using a wifi connection. Why is this taking so long? at this rate i really don't see any progress. Please help!

You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

HT201210 Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! Someone please help.

Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! I payed for a lot of my apps, and my photos are just too important. Someone please help!

If rhe apps and photos are that important you made sure that you took the steps in order to keep them safe in an event like this didn't you?
You did backup the iPad before you decided to update the iPad correct?
And you did transfer all of your apps and other purchases into iTunes before you decided to update correct?
If you did, just restore the iPad and then restore from the backup at the end of fhe process and follow that with a sync with iTunes and you will lose nothing,
Now if you didn't do any of the precautionary steps ....

Am trying to update my Ipad version 4.3.3 to 5.1. Apple store advised how to do it but it is not working. Any help?

Am trying to update my Ipad 2 version 4.3.3 to new version 5.1. Apple store told me how to go to Itunes to download, but it hasn't worked. Any ideas?

I did the same thing awhile ago. If when you click the button to update your iPad, it says "connection timed out" or"could not access update server", then the problem is likely with your computer. I'm not sure what else it could be, but for me, all I had to do was use my friends computer. His is faster than mine, and the download went smoothly. Just make sure to back up your iPad to your computer and not your friends computer. Then when you've updated, you can right click your iPad's tab in iTunes and click "restore from backup". Hope this helps.

I'm trying to update my IPAD 2 to iOs 7.1.2 but don't have enough memory to do so. In I-Tunes I'm told to change my media sync options to gain more memory, but I don't know how. Can you help?

Turn off the check mark to sync your music and also the check mark for the video. Sync the device. This will remove the items from you iPad but still keep them on your computer. Install IOS 7.1.2. Then turn on the check marks for your music and videos and resync the device.

This has happened to me a couple of times and what I do is quit iTunes and restart my Mac and then try again and then it will work.
If iTunes has already created the backup, you should still be able to restore from the backup when you are connected to iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select restore from backup. After the process completes, sync with iTunes to transfer all of your apps, music, photos and other media back onto the iPad.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
