Update ipad software over the air

when i try to update my ipad 2 software from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1 , when i open settings--->general--->software update it is showing me :''Unable to check for update'' I tried to reboot my ipad 2 times, i tried to change the DNS , i tried to remove wifi network and to reput the password, but it doesn't work!!!
Plz can anyone help me?

It might just be that the servers are very busy due to everybody else also trying to download the update for their iPad, iPhone and/or iPod Touch - try at a less busy time (e.g. early or late), or leave it for a day or two (though it may also be busy over the weekend).

    If the update is on the Nokia servers that does not mean it is ready and available to end users for the OTA update. While a Nokia Care Point could flash it for you that will also wipe the device.

  • Updating N80 firmware over the air

    Can somebody please tell me how to update my N80 firmware over the air?

    Assuming you have the correct software version (I think you need at least 4.0623.0.41) then you can open Device Manager and then select Options -> Check for updates. From other discussions it looks like not all variants have this feature activated.
    I did hear a rumour that if you have an N80 in the UK with SW version older than 4.0623.0.41 and variant 58 you can phone the Nokia careline and they can send you the latest software. (of course my friend might have been joking)

  • Over the air update problems?

    Hi there. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Twice now, when I've tried to update an app over the air (rather than through iTunes) my touch freezes up, forcing me to put it into recovery mode and restore the whole thing (VERY frustrating). Is this a common bug? Should I just avoid OTA updates entirely, or are these isolated problems?
    Thanks!
    Aaron

    I've installed one application on my iPod touch via the App store and did not have an issue with it. I've updated two applications through the App store without issue as well. If it is an issue I may not have done enough OTA installations to come across it, or it might be an isolated incident with your iPod. Have you updated to 2.0.2 on the iPod? That update seemed to clear up a few Wi Fi issues I was experiencing.

  • Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

  • No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad

    No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad. I have reset the network settings,  power off the iPad, trying static IP and nothing, it's unable to join my wifi network. anybody with the same issue?

    Great!  Thanks, this works.
    I have an old Linksys WRT54G in it I can select WPA Personal and AES as algorithm--it works for me (though maybe just changing to anything works!  but I will not try anything different since I have spent already so much time with this problem.)  Again, thanks for the solution Juan.

  • Cant update over the air in third generation ipad

    my update never completes without connecting to itunes,it never updates over the air ,after the first phase of upgrade ,it asks to be connected to itunes.had turn out be major problem

    You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • What happened to over the air updates

    am I the only one, or has over the air updates been changed to over WiFi updates? Not the same thing. Pretty inconvenient when you're somewhere without WiFi and want to update your phone.

    I always update via Wi-Fi so don't have any personal experience but did notice the following quote in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Some iOS software updates aren't available as over-the-air updates.

    That is absolutely not true.
    An NSU update for the N96 at least is a 125MB download or thereabouts.
    V10.043 to V11.018 was about 3.5MB via FOTA, V11.018 to V11.101 was no more than a few hundred KB, and V11.101 to V12.043 was once again about 3MB.
    FOTA is far more reliable than NSU since there are fewer machines involved (the phone grabs the update directly from Nokia instead of having it buffered by a machine, a machine running one of the most notoriously unreliable operating systems ever created) and therefore fewer points of potential failure.
    As psychomania pointed out, there are cases of people bricking their phones with NSU daily on these forums. To date, we have see one case of a failed FOTA update. Draw your own conclusions.
    Like our resident psycho, I hope that FOTA becomes far more widespread in the future. It is much more reliable and quick.
    Message Edited by grschinon on 28-Dec-2008 04:50 PM
    although i tend to agree that FOTA should be safer, but i think we might be jumping to conclusions to early, as there are about 91 phones supported by NSU, most of which are updated by the conventional PC way, whereas there are very few that uses FOTA (i knew of 2 handsets), hence the relatively lower incidence of failures...

  • Is it just me, or do most of the upgrade problems (not bugs) happen when updating "over-the-air", rather than using a computer and iTunes ?

    I have used iTunes on a computer every time, and so far have had no problems like the ones we are seeing here.
    Just want to reiterate - I am not talking about iOS 7 bugs - but just performing the update(s)

    Absolutely!!  I've had no problems upgrading the iPhone using iTunes.  It also allows me to backup the iPhone's settings so I can recover them if something goes wrong in the upgrade process.  I have always upgraded using iTunes and would not do it any other way.
    My wife upgraded to iOS6 directly to her iPhone 4S and lost her contacts and other information, and had problems with wifi access, etc.  At the next iOS change, I did the upgrade on her phone through iTunes and had no problem.
    Even MacWorld reports that upgrading "over the air" directly on the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch can create instability in the OS.

  • Over the Air update - Server Profile Settings

    Hi,
    I updated my N80 to V4 firmware with the over the air update services.
    Does anybody have the Server Profile Settings for this?

    Hi there....
    you can actually get the server profile to enable your phone to perform Over the Air Software Update by calling your Network Operator/Service Provider.

    So what happened to the phone during the process?  It should have gone black and restarted a couple of times and there would have been a white progress bar as the update installed.  Sounds to me like you've downloaded the update file but not actually installed it.  The quickest way to see version of the software is installed is to go to Settings-General-About and check Version.

    In iCal's preferences, you can configure whether and when events get purged.
    As for recovering old, deleted events... I don't suppose you have backups?...

  • Update Checking Over the Air..N80

    hi all,
    this is my very first post. i'm a N80 user, and i just flashed my firmware into v 4.0623.0.42 recently.
    i did it via NSU and i worked just fine.
    But i have 1 simple question, everybody's talking about checking updates over the air via 'Device Manager'. I tried to do that (just in case new update's available), but when i opened my 'Device Manager', 'no server profile' is written on the screen.
    What should i do about this? The server profile is supposed to be created automatically or should i create it my self? if i should, i don't have any idea how to fill in the blanks..
    any advise is kindly appreciated..

    thx 4 the reply dezi,
    im afraid that is not what i meant. I've checked and the v 4.0623.0.42 fw is the newest one for my N80. and i just successfully flashed it recently (maybe a week ago).
    what i really wanna know is just how to check updates via 'device manager', the settings, server profile(how to create one), etc.
    thx,
