Update iPad2 to IOS 4.3.5 cannot save backup to PC

When trying to do update from iTunes, the backup abort stating that it cannot save to the pc. Normal sync works for apps etc. Only firmware upgrade doesn't work. Manually backup also doesn't work.

Apple is still showing this from what I see on the downloads website. Try this.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iOS 5.1.1
If that link doesn't open and it looks like it won't open right to the iOS 5.1.1 download - go here and type in iOS 5.1.1 in the search bar.

Have updated phone to ios 5 now i cannot connect to safari can anyone help pls

I have updated phone to ios 5 now i cannot connect to safari can anyone help pls

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

What error are you receiving?

'Cannot save backup on your computer'

Here is a new one: after hearing a bussy pc for several minutes in phase 2/4 (synching contacts), a message appears: cannot save backup on your pc. Huh???

I finally found a solution to the problem of my iPad hanging during backup when syncing that is easier than erasing the backup file, rebooting both computer and iPad, then resyncing. It works for me, I hope it works for others. Before syncing, I right click on the iPad entry in the left column of iTunes and select backup. If the an error message appears, click OK and backup again in the same fashion. I've never had to repeat this more than once. After the backup is completed, sync the iPad as usual. The sync will skip the backup of the iPad and go right to updating the programs and data. All has been well for me for several weeks now using this method. Before that I could count on having to reboot everything and delete the backup file about every other day. Hope this is helpful,
Sandy

Trying to update Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006

I'm trying to update my Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006. I've tried updating several times but I get the same networking error. I've tried disabling my computer and router firewalls, and made sure I have up to date Itune program, I even run the diagnostics on itunes and comes up that all connections are ok. I also tried connecting directly from my modem, I still got the same result. Now my Ipad has just the Itunes logo and a usb cable that's showing on it's screen. I'm hoping I can get help with this because it seems like my Ipad is un-usable in this state. Thanks in advance.
PS: I also have an Apple TV 3 that's asking me to update, I run the update but it failed and asked me to run the update again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A third generation iPod touch can't be updated past 5.1.1. If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

HT4623 Updating iPad2 to iOS 7, all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere?! Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

Just updated our iPad2 to iOS 7, and all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere. Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

We're you backing up to a computer using iTunes? If so, restore the backup from there.

Iphone will not sync computer running windows XP cannot save backup

I have Iphone 4 running version 4.3.5 when I try to syn with iTuneson my computer running Windows XP I get the message "canot save Backup" any thoughts how to resolve?

Trying it again worked. The only difference between this time and the last time was that this time I let the sync process do its backup. So, for anyone else, before trying drastic steps to fix the issue, I'd suggest just updating to the latest iOS (I did it via USB, it probably doesn't matter though) and letting the sync process do ALL of its thing.

Stuck on backup while updating iPad2 to ios 5.1

I want to update my Ipad2 to the latest ioS from 4.3.2. I sync to iTunes on a window pc and every time I initiate the update, it freezes during backup. I have already backed up by rightclicking on my device on iTunes. Not getting anywhere fast. Any ideas? Anyone? and please avoid being too technical. I am a newbie

Try a restore. Back up your info first the restore it. One of the fixes for this iOS build was enhancements to the sound of movies and such. Maybe the update got corrupted somehow.

HT4623 Error message on trying to update iPad2 to iOS 6.1.3

Have tried to update to iOS 6.1.3 on iPad2. All seems to go ok untIl the status bar is about 3/4 full, then hangs until error message "an error has occurred during download". Have do,me the update with norm les on my iPhone. Mt wife has updated her iPad mini, also without problem ( as she smugly keeps reminding me). Anyone any ideas about how to save my pride and successfully update? Please!

What iOS version are you currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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 are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

Updated iPad2 to iOS 6 and lost all pictures and videos

I updated my roomate's iPad 2 days ago, following the instructions of a friend with years of Apple experience.
He explained that I would need to install iTunes on my laptop (a newer Asus running Win7) and that just plugging the iPad in would start an automatic process of backing up and updating.
Being from the PC world, I wanted to make sure we would be safe. I asked if I needed to copy pictures to my laptop or pc first, and he said that iTunes defaults to backing up first, then running the update.
Of course this makes sense, but erring on caution, I was very specific in wanting to make absolutely sure.
So I get the laptop ready. I plug in the iPad, it's immediately discovered and a window pops up saying there is an update for the iPad, and would I like to update now.
I pressed the button yes, or ok, I don't remember exactly what the vernacular was.
The lengthy process began.... with a status bar and activity..... took about 20 minutes.
After it was done, it said so. I don't remember the dialog box wording at that point exactly.
I pushed the home button on the iPad and it had the normal grey lock screen, opened it, and all of her apps were there, her email showed she had email,
but when i looked in the pictures folder, it was empty.
Thought perhaps they would appear later from iTunes. ( I didn't know at this point that she had never backed up or used iTunes for anything other than the initial activation and for her old iPhone that died several months ago)
Called my Apple friend, he said maybe I unplugged the iPad before it was able to restore things to the iPad.
So I started iTunes, attached the iPad , right clicked on "Tiffany's ipad" and went into the Backup section. There it says that the iPad was never backed up on this computer in bold text. And the option to restore from backup is grayed out.
I call my expert friend again. He has me look for backup files on the laptop, utilizing an application called 'iExplore'. went to 'device' section and there is a box that will show all backup files found on the pc. That box was empty.
What's tragic, is, this poor lady, unbeknownst to me, had been using her iPad as a picture and video dump for ALL of her child's pictures and vids for over a year. Without telling me. She is not a technical person.
Had I known this, I would have backed it up manually myself, before the update and all along. I would have made her do it. But I had no idea. I assumed she was plugging it in to her Dell Laptop.. but she never did.
I've run 2 'recovery' programs I got from online that scan for deleted files, but they don't show any of the hundreds of pictures and videos she had, Im sure because it was wiped, not deleted.
All attempts to locate a large backup file on my laptop have come up empty.
She is extremely and unbelievably broken up about this, as am I. I'm furious with Apple for not making the BACKUP stage of the process more tenacious, and with more pop up warnings so that this kind of thing cannot happen. Had I seen that, I would have used an application to MANUALLY copy her stuff.... even though at the time I had NO IDEA she was using her iPad as her ONLY repository for all of her precious media.
Folks, this is a life changing horror for her, and me. I love this woman's little boy as my own, and as a single mom, she was depending on me as a friend in this matter. If I cannot retrieve these images and vids, I fear she will never forgive me, as I'm the 'tech guy' who always has had the answers for everything in the past, and failed her on the most important tech issue in her life, her little boy's life in pictures.
Please, where can I send this iPad for forensic recovery of these images.
I've powered the iPad down until further notice to avoid writing additionally on the internal flash memory.
Thanks,
Lu Johnson

Doesn't sound like you have iCloud? If not, then no, you are out of luck....

HT4623 Updated iPad2 to ios 7.0.4. iPad restarts and wants to go through setup. I get to the "Set Up iPad" screen; it is asking to restore or setup as new iPad. I pick "Restore from iTunes Backup". I do the restore, but it loops back again to setup

the iPad seems to be in a loop between setup and restore. Not sure if I did something wrong, maybe selecting a wrong option after the ios update.

You are most welcome

II've been updating my ipad with ios8. It has went through the download stage it is now on the loading part it has been at 90% for about an hour and has not moved since. What can I do to fix the problem or do I just leave it alone?

Hello mcmattjen,
If your iPad has not updated by now, then use iTunes to update it. Take a look at the article below for troubleshooting options when you are trying to update on your iPad.
