Many Thanks for any help or guidance.

If it is a 3G it cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1. If it is a 3GS it can be updated to the current version (5.1.1). If you're not sure which model you have, check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939.

Ever since updating my iPad with the iOS 8 and 8.0.2 it has been much slower in every way. Any suggestions besides restoring to last iOS?

Hi Arianelleangel,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If you are having issues trying to update your Aunt's iPad, the troubleshooting steps below may help:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
Update does not complete
If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
I hope this information helps ....

Hey X300X,

You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you following these instructions.
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

After updating my iPad 3 from iOS 7.0.6 to 7.1 I can't do anything. It constantly reboots while trying to restore backup. Epic Fail!

My attempts to update my ipad 3 to IOS 7.1 via iTunes on my Mac Pro has essentially bricked it. I carefully made a backup before doing the update but its of little use. The iPad installs the firmware update and reboots and asks about the backup to restore and begins the sync. But, it reboots about 20 times while trying to restore the beast.
It is a 64 gb ipad and was pretty full so retrying to restore from backup is taking 6 hours each time. Maddening!
I've spent months setting it up. The thought of restoring as NEW is so depressing.
The initial attempt I did over night was just unusable this morning. I couldn't get past the Apple Logo. I finally gave up and put it into recovery mode and redid it a second time. It must have rebooted 20 times while copying all the apps and media back. It made it but was then useless again after being disconnected from the Mac.
I then tried once again and aborted it after it was rebooting again constantly during the restore from backup.
It seems to be OK thru the firmware install but it can't seem to use my backup. I'm going to try and restore as NEW just to see if it will work at all. At that point maybe I'll try and manually restore the backup so I don't lose all that organization.
Anyone got any better ideas? I'm refusing to thing about "upgrading" my iphone 5 until I see how this comes out....

Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity. After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new. I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad! This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used. Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup. I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware. I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like. Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck!

HT4623 I tried to update my iPad (wirelessly) from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7 and I got a message that this version is not compatible with my iPad - any ideas?

I recently tried to update my operating system, but I could not upgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7

The Original iPad can only be updated to IOS 5.1.1
Does your iPad have a camera?

HT4623 I need to update my iPad 1 from iOS 5.11. How can I do this

I am wanting to update my iPad from iOS 5.11, an am not able to find information to do that.

You can't, that is as high as the iPad 1 can go since it only has 256MB of RAM.

HT4972 Can't update my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.1 to anything higher using iTunes

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1. I just want to get to 4.3 or higher because a game I like now requires it. I'd be happy with iOS 4.3... but 6 will do too. When I connect my iPhone to iTunes, the Update button reads "A newer version of the iPhone software is available (v 6.0)" so one owuld assume that the Update button would get me iOS 6. But when I click on the Update button, it gives me an error message telling me that my version of iTunes (10.6) is current. I don't need to update iTunes, I need to update my iOS and the one button that does that can't tell the two apart. Help!
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply... but ugh, this is snow-balling out of control: Just to play a game that requires iOS 4.3, I have to upgrade iTunes, but to upgrade iTunes to 10.7.0.21, we need to upgrade the Mac OS from 10.5 to 10.6.8, which seems to cost $30. If I'm going to spend $30, I wish I could be giving the money to the game developers instead of to buying/getting 2 new OSes that I otherwise didn't need. So does anyone else have any other ways to get my iPhone up to iOS 4.3 (or higher) without all these steps and money?

I updated mi iPad to to iOS 6 now it says connector to iTunes but I no longer have a computer? Please help

After trying to update to iOS 6 my iPad now say connect to iTunes however I only use my phone and iPad and do not have a computer with iTunes. What do I need to do?

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 to iOS 7. Now the music in iTunes will not sync with either device. Any thoughts?

I have tried several times to restore the devices and that didn't work either.

A bit more info for those of you reading this.... the problem seemed to be in iTunes. For each connected device , if I clicked on the Photo option I could no longer select the second radio button for limiting the photos by Events, Albums, etc. It was an all or nothing deal. But selecting all would cause the error.
So I had read the other forum posts about the "&" symbol being the cause of the problem. I went through iPhoto and made all of the changes. It did not work. I then looked at iTunes, using the AlbumData2.xml file listed in the other forums as a reference. I found one album with the "&". I edited that one. Still would not work. So then I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare last week. I talked with 4 different advisors. None of them had heard about the "&" error from the forums. We tried everything in iPhoto including repair and rebuild. Finally we created a whole new library and reimported my master photos from my original one. Using this option would allow me to now check off that radio button in iTunes. BUT... I now lost all of my albums and events and would need to rebuid them. I was not happy. They agreed and we set up time to talk this week.
So today I talked with AppleCare again. They now have more info and said the problem has to do with iTunes and the new iPhoto 9.4. It does not like the "&" symbol anywhere in either iPhoto or iTunes. So they now have me going through everything in my iTunes library. Genre is OK but any other item cannot have " & ". I have several dozen to edit and will do it over the weekend and then restore my original iPhoto Library and see if I can finally get it all to sync. I will let you know how I make out, but apparently you need to eliminate " & " from every entry in iTunes and iPhoto.
Quality control is not up to par with Apple these days.

Updated my Ipad 1 from IOS 4.3.2 to IOS 5.1.1 as requested by Itune. all went well but unable to Activate. Any help to overcome ? Thanks
