TS3682 Trying to update my iOS 4 to iOS 6

I am trying to update my iOS 4 from my IPad 2 to a newer version of iOS . They have the worst instructions on how to upgrade to iOS 5. Usually Apple is really easy, but not with this. And, unlike my iPhone 5, you can't go to General settings. I have searched the App store and iTunes, but I keep getting nowhere!!

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Am trying to update iPod that has iOS 2.2.1 to iOS 4.2 but I am getting the following error message, the iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (-1).

Hi , I am trying to update iPod that has iOS 2.2.1 to iOS 4.2 but I am getting the following error message, "the iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (-1)." I would appreciate if anyone could let me know what the problem is and if it is possible how to fix it? Thanks

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3. I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available. However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

Disable your firewall and antivirus software, restart your iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer and then try to update again.

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.

If that doesn't work, try putting your phone to DFU mode.

Are you sure you have a 3GS and not a 3G? The 3G cannot be updated to iOS5. What version are you on now?... Settings > General > About > Version

sync your phone to itunes, then it should say update available. I suggest doing a backup of your phone first prior to updating your phone.

If your iPad is the first generation then 5.1.1 is the highest it can go. iOS6 is for iPad 2+

I'm trying to update my iPad to iOS 8.1.2 and it won't update?

Is it perhaps downloading the update?
Have you tried rebooting the iPad? Hold down the home and power/sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. This should reboot the iPad. Then try the update again.
If all else fails, you can try to update through iTunes on a computer.

thanks Razmee...I wasnt aware of this. For some reason I thought it was all backed up in itunes and sitting somewhere in the cloud, not on a hard drive. Should spend more time looking into this things....how have people time for this? I mean, I dont even have time to go to the shops and pick up my 4S upgrade!!
Thanks so much for your help
