Updated iPad software only to lose favourite apps.

I updated the software on my iPad 1 because I hadn't done for a long time and apps were often crashing.  In fact the iPad was reset to factory settings and then 'restored'.  Unfortunately some of my favourite apps, apps such as Huff Post and Gmail that I use all the time, suddenly can't be reloaded because they "require newer version of iPad software"!!!!  Now these apps were functioning perfectly well on an older version of the software previously, so why don't they operate on the update?   Without these apps, the thing is not much use to me.
I had just purchased a iPhone 5S to go with my iPad, now I feel like getting rid of both of them, if I can't run my favourite apps on the iPad.

I too have the same problem.  Soon  my ipad  will just be a white screen.  Seems very wrong that I purchased apps and now I can no longer use what I spent my money on.  I would love a refund for each app that I can no longer use.
When you purchase a computer and you buy software you can keep using it, it just doesn't vanish.  I too am very disappointed.  We should at least be able to do what we used to do on our ipads.  I can understand not being able to purchase new apps, but why do my old apps disappear.  THIS IS WRONG.
Guess I will go on a trash search and see 'IF" maybe I can dumpster dive and find a few treasure.  This is just not right.  We have Mac Air, Mac Desk Top, Ipad 1, Ipad 3, I touch, 4 ipods, 3 iphones.  I think we have been really good customers, but I don't like this at all and will seriously reconsider before I make another purchase.  When you buy something it should be yours until you throw it in the garbage.  I don't need it to update, just want to keep using it the way it was.  I understand when things get old, no problem, I'm not looking for new apps.  I just want my old apps that I purchased to still be on my ipad.

  • I have a new pc, and when updating ipad software it will erase all apps etc, is there any way to stop this from happening and make my new laptop my ipads "home" pc???

    I have a new laptop, and have copied over my existing itunes libary, but when i connect my ipad, and go to update the software to the new version it warns me that it will wipe all my apps etc..... How can i stop this from happening and make my new laptop the "home" for my ipad??
    Any help gratefully received! :-)

    Macs use an application called Migration Assistant to copy material from the old Mac to the new one. The macs are connected together and each runs Migration Assistance and the user chooses what stuf to copy onto the new Mac.
    Unfortunately I do not know how to do this between pcs or between a Mac and a Pf or even if it's even possible.

  • Can't update ipad software

    I am trying to update ipad software to 4.3.5 but when i try and update i get a message saying that i need to connect to the internet - I am already connected! please help thanks

    I get the same problem. I find though that if I close my Kaspersky Internet Security suite, not just the firewall, then the update runs fine. I then turn the security suite back on afterwards.

  • HT4623 Updating iPad software

    Recieved gift of iPad Mini (purchased in Europe).  Have been using cable modem at home, so while re-installing wifi modem router decided to attempt to update iPad software (to iOS 7) via iTunes.  Apparently it takes 15 hours to download!!  Is this correct please and is it faster using wifi connection?

    Probably faster using wifi. The update is about a gig. Which takes a while to download.
    If you have an Apple store nearby you can call them and see if they can help you. Or see if you can use a friend's cable internet wifi to do the update.

  • 8.2 verifying updated ipad software hangs

    While trying to update my ipad mini with the latest 8.2 ios, it hangs with the Apple logo and blank bar.
    Itunes says it's "Verifying updated iPad software...".
    I've tried a hard reset and it tells me the update didn't work and that I needed to restore from backup.
    After about 20 minutes, the recovery started.
    It is now stopped at about 85% on the task bar.
    I'm updating connected to my apple mini over iTunes.
    Did the update just brick my iPad Mini?

  • My Ipad mini only has the newstand app visible...I've tried rebooting...What next?

    My IPAD mini only has the newstand app  visible on the homescreen...spotlight is not working...I've tried rebooting...What next?

    Rebooting with the sleep and home buttons...holding them down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that didn't do any good and Spotlight isn't working, you can try resetting all settings and if that doesn't work, then you should probably restore your iPad next.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

  • Anyone having trouble updating and loading apps after updating ipad software?

    I have an ipad(1st gen).  Updated to the latest software a few weeks ago.   Shows apps available for update, but wont download and load the app now.  Anyone else having this issue?  Also, safari frequently wont open a link and says safari is not connect to the network.  Have to close the browser and reopen it to get it working sometimes.  Frustrating!!! Help!!

    It is crashing in the middle of app use, something is not right!

  • Updating ipad software from ios 5.1.1

    i have an ipad that is running on the ios 5.1.1 software. I connected it to itunes to try to update my software, and was told that my software is up to date, when I know it is not. There are alot of apps that I would like to use that require higher running systems. What do I do to get it updated to a more current software?

    It appears you may have the original iPad, which cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1, that is why you are seeing that message. Your device will not support a newer iOS.

  • Since I've updated the software on my ipad2 my apps won't install, why?

    I've recently updated the software of my ipad2 to ois5.1.1 and since I've done it I can't install apps. They appear on my home screen but just say waiting!!!! Why is this???

    Check iTunes and see if you have a pending or stalled download in there. If you do, finish that download or delete it if you can. If you can't finish or delete the download on the iPad, do it in iTunes on your computer and then sync the iPad. Then go back to the apps and see if they will download.
    If that doesn't work or if that was not the problem, go to Settings>Store >Apple ID, tap your ID and sign out. Then reboot the iPad, Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Then go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if the apps will update.

  • Updating iPad software feature

    Does the iPhone and iPad software update feature automatically do anything before you actually check for updates via the built in function? Or, does it only do it when you go through the motions..

    On the Mac's iTunes > Preferences... > General > select Check for new software updates automatically.
    On iPhone/iPad if there's an update, you will see a red badge on the icon.

  • Updating ipad software stuck

    Ipad Software update to IOS 7 stuck.  Failed with error code 14.  Recover in recovery mode also failed with error code 14.  Was able to restore to previous version on another Mac to 6.1.3 successful.  Tried the upgarde to IOS 7 again on the orginal Imac and the update hangs in one spot over an hour.  Might have downloaded a corrup version of IOS 7.  How do I clear that out of Itunes in Mac OS 10.8.5, and restart the entire process with a fresh download of IOS 7 for IPAD mini.  By the way, we were able to successfully upgrade to IOS 7 on all of our Iphone 5 without problems, and than this happened when we tried to upgrade our IPAD Mini.

    Hi mocha the cat,
    This article describes troubleshooting steps for update and restore errors, including 14:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    See the article for additional troubleshooting ideas.
    Cheers,

  • If I update to iOS7 will I lose my apps or any progress in them?

    I wish to change to iOS 7, but I don't know if my progress will be lost in any apps/games?
    Could you also notify me (if you know) of anything else that I will lose?
    Thanks

    Upgrading does not make you lose your apps but things can go wrong which is why you should back up first.
    You can redownload your purchased apps.
    Open the App Store app > Updates > Purchased
    You can also redownload other content purchased from iTunes.
    Open the iTunes app > More > Purchased
    Apple does not support iOS downgrading. Doing so will void the warranty and support for that device.

  • Updating ipad software

    I have an ipad 1 and I can't update the software. When in the summary page, after clicking on 'check for update' under version I would expect it to connect to the internet but instead it open a box asking to select a folder location from my PC - i.e. look in; file name, file type??? Any ideas - what is supposed to happen? I still seem to have software version 3.2.2 and the summary screen saysmy ipad software is up to date - but I don't believe it is.

    You may need to upgrade your iTunes to the latest version first.

  • TS1702 Is it normal to take 20 hours to update iPad software to iOS 5.1.1?

    Is it normal to take 12 to 20 hours to update the iPad software to version iOS 5.1.1?

    That really is extremely slow. But at this point, I would hate to see you stop the download in fear of messing something up. I know it kind of bites - but wait it out and maybe it won't take as long as it is showing.
    But if the time starts increasing on the counter, them I would assume that something is really wrong.
