Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I have the first ipad and it won't recognize the charger and also the computer won't recognize the ipad when I plug it in to sync. Any ideas why?

If your using the same cable for your wall charger as you are for your computer, than the problem is probably within the cable (if there isn't visible damage to the cable of coarse). The quockest solution would be to buy your self a new cable. There is probably nothing wrong with your wall adapter, so just the cable will do.

I have the first iPad but I am not able to download the NCAA march madness app

I have the first iPad but I am not able to download the NCAA march madness app

what happens when you try? Does the app require a higher version of iOS? If that is the case, you are out of luck as iOS 5.1.1 is the highest for the iPad 1.

Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

HT4623 I have the original ipad and it does not show ios 6 available for download.

I have the original iPad and it shows no update available. I tried iTunes and it wont let me upgrade to ios 6. What is going on?

I have been looking all over and cannot find where they have said that. Strange that they wouldnt include it.

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

I have a iphone 3gs and it will not update to the IOS 5.1.1

I have a iphone 3gs and it will not update. I have tried going to settings and it doesnt even show up the software button to check and see if I can update. I have also tried on itunes to see if i will update and all it says is "the version iphone software (4.2.1) is the current version"

Post the model number. You probably have an iPhone 3G.

I have the first iPad, and it keeps crashing no matter what program(safari) app (iTunes) or game I use. I check the updates regularly and I'm up to date. Why does it keep crashing and how can I fix it?

I have the first iPad (which is considered ancient). I'll open safari and no matter what I'm searching after a few minutes it crashes (it will close safari and bring me back to the main app screen). The last few days I've been searching song on iTunes, and I have the same issue. It closes my iTunes and brings me to the main app screen.
I have checked my updates and everything is current for this iPad. It's a 64gb iPad with 54gb of available space so I know it's not a storage issue.
Does anyone have some pointers on how to keep it from crashing all the time?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...

I have the first ipad, and just purchaes applet tv, can i see my photos on the tv, i can not seem to find airplay app

I have te first ipad, and recentrly purchased apple tv to see the internet , photos and all from my ipad on the tv, i have not founf the airplay app , can i download it r get it at the app store, can this be done? for the ipad one

my issue probably not related to original poster
I have an airport express
it can stream audio.
That is why the airplay icon shows up on the Videos,YouTube, and iPod apps
I do need an ATV to get the airplay icon to show up on Photos.
All of this is hinted at online but never written down.
the pictures show a ATV screen or box, show Photos screen with icon
but never say screen only looks this way with ATV available.
And I fooled myself by having an airport express which put the icon on all the other applications.

I have the iPhone 4 and it is not updating my software to iOS 5.1, how do I fix it?

I have the iPhone 4 and it is NOT jailbroken or anything, but whenever I try to update it to iOS 5.1 it says it can't connect to a network. When I used my phone, it says there was an error. How do I get it to update?

There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
Can you specify the error given?

I have a ipad 3 with ios 5.1.1 and it will not update to ios 7. I keep getting a software failed message and the download takes 13 hours and stops half way through. Any help?

I have an ipad 3rd gen with ios 5.1.1 and I can not update it to ios 7. It will take 13hours and when I try it stalls out halfway through and says software update failed. I have tried everything. Any help?

it actually needs more space than that. The file size is your 65 mb is probably the ota incremental file size. The full package is 700 mg, and the system needs 3 gig of free space to unpack and install.
There is a fairly good discussion here

Both my iPad and iPhone will not update apps

Both my iPad and iPhone are neither updating installed apps not installing new apps via WiFi (or 3G) but can be synced via my Mac when the new apps/updates are downloaded on the computer. This appears to be a recent problem (past few days): all I get is "waiting" for every app/update needed to be installed. I have tried a number of hardware solutions (restarting, logging out of my iTunes account) to no avail. There does not appear to be any download in my iTunes account that seems to be "hung up". My hypothesis is that it may be an authorization probalem and I can't help but think that it maybe related to last week's corrupt binaries problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever get an answer to this?
Today both my iPad 2 & iPhone will no longer charge or connect to iTunes. It's so weird!

I have the first iPad and my mum has given me the iPad 2 I would like to put my stuff of iCloud on to this one please help

I have the iPad 1which is backed up to iCloud my mum has given me her ipad2 how do I get my things of iCloud on this it does not give me an option as this one is per owned and does it store my kindle as well please help

To restore your iCloud backup go to Settings>Geneneral>Reset, tap Erase All Conent and settings, then go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts (sign into the iCloud account containing your backup, agree to the terms and conditions, then choose your backup to restore to). Be sure it's connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
Note: the iPad 2 will have to be running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up in order to restore the backup. If it isn't, you'll need to update it in iTunes first.
