Updated ipad 2 to 5.0.1 and it's not veryfing update taking hours?

I went in to the software update to update to 5.0.1 on my ipad 2, after hours it is still trying to verify? Does anyone know what I should do.

Do you have a firewall or antiviral software that could be interfering? You often need to turn these items off to update/upgrade successfully.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IF I DOWNLOAD AN APP IN IPAD IT'S STATUS REMAINS WAITING AND IT'S NOT GETTING DOWNLOADED

IF I DOWNLOAD AN APP IN IPAD IT'S STATUS REMAINS WAITING AND IT'S NOT GETTING DOWNLOADED

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.

Why is my ipad asking for an unlock code and I did not set this up?

why is my ipad asking for an unlock code after downloading new software? I did not set this up and had no idea what the password is. I tried 1234 and 0000 and now it is disabled. Help

I have an ipod 5g. i changed my passcode and then got a notification of a 7.0.2 update. i updated and now my passcode wont work? im certain that i entered the right passcode. i would try resetting on my macbook, but the screen is shattered.

HT6058 ipad 4 downloaded 7.0.4 and "wifi will not connect at work" and "will not keep password at home?"

Since I downloaded 7.0.4 onto my iPad 4th gen. the wifi has been unstable.
The wifi will not consistently connect as a "guest" at work and will NOT maintain
the password for my wifi at home. Prior to the update to 7.0.4 this iPad never
had any wifi issues! I have tried all of the tactics of resetting wifi, re-downloaded the entire
7.0.4 and with the same wifi issues? At this point my iPad is useless to me without wifi!!!

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Having issues setting up the use of two iTunes libraries on one Apple TV. I can set up my iTunes library as I can turn home sharing on from my own computer, however, my fiance only has an iPad with home sharing turned on and it does not find his account?

I have a new Apple TV which I am struggling to set up with both mine and my fiances music. I have a laptop, but my fiance only has an ipad and it only seems to sync my music library from my iTunes account. He has homesharing turned on on his iPad but the Apple TV does not recognise his iPad. It seems from the help that I have read online that homesharing works when you use the same itunes account, is not possible to be able to use two different itunes libraries with two different accounts (and only one computer)?
Thanks

Both libraries would need to have been setup to use home sharing with the same Apple ID in order for that to work.

HT204389 IPad is in "voice activation mode" and it will not open. I did not change any settings.

IPad Air -32 suddenly is working in "voice activation" mode. The ipad is locked and I cannot figure out how to unlock it. Using OS7.1-Any thoughts?

Try triple clicking the home button.

My iPad shut down on its own and now will not turn back on ?

My iPad turned it self off earlier today it had 13% battery the last I remember looking, so I thought it ran down more than I thought. So I put it on charge and it still wouldn't turn back on, so I left it for a couple of hours, but when I came back it turned on long enough for me to put in my password before it turned off again, it has charged as it now had 58% battery. However I am now trying to turn it back on and it won't do anything more than show the apple logo?!?!
Help!!!!

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
3: If Unable to Restore, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
Note on Recovery Mode.
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most Recent Backup...

HT1692 I have zero contacts in icloud and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected. There is no box for contacts and calendars, just mail accounts and notes

my problem started when I tried to install latest operating system for my iphone 4 screen said verifying update for about 20 minutes, I got a text that i needed to reply to, then the whole thing locked up and forced me to restore phone. Icloud doesn't have my contacts(I thought that's what it does), I've tried to sync with my computer many times, the only time it said anything about contacts was "Can't sync contacts because they're disabled on Iphone). When I sync, I get old text messages, old photos, old voice memos, but no contacts.

Good evening from the Phils :)
That didn't work. I turned off the icloud for contacts already, so even the 5 network numbers are not on my phone anymore, which is okay. I tried the sync / replace info contacts on phone from itunes, no contacts still. At least, there were no other stuff lost. I might try the restore from backup next time.. But still hiping for something which would not involve doing the restore or any tools. Thanks! :)

Ipad mini became hot when charging and now will not come on. All usual resets have been tried

Mini ipad became hot while charging and will not come on. Normal resets have been tried.

I am assuming that you let the device cool down completely before you tried powering up. I don't know what more you might want to try...recharge, restore...the usual troubleshooting steps. Once again, assuming that the device has completely cooled down, I would let the device charge all night, try resetting one more time and if that fails, try restoring the iOS.
If that fails, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let an Apple Genius evaluate the damage.
