Updating a iPad 2nd gen? How do I get it pass 5.1?

This is my first time on this forum. Just like the topic question says. How? As I've got a 2nd gen iPad and it still works fine except for needing a newer update 6ios or later now. To use my apps and programs which really upsets me very much! I don't have the money to buy a newe one and don't want a newer one as this one still works. It is a waste of products to keep buying new crap every other year. So much waste.

You can download older versions of apps, which should work with iOS 5, or you can find alternative apps.

  • Apple iPad 2nd Gen 16GB WHITE WIFI , Did a update,  Now it is stuck in I-Tunes Restore Mode. Do you no how to fix? Going crazy. Ran fine before that.

    Apple iPad 2nd Gen 16GB WHITE WIFI , Did a update,  Now it is stuck in I-Tunes Restore Mode. Do you no how to fix? Going crazy. Ran fine before that

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • IPhone 5 and iPad 2nd gen weak wifi pick up after iOs 8.0.2 update

    Hi,
    I have had my iPhone 5 since September 2012 when it first came out and had never have any problems with it with regards to picking up wifi signal. I had battery issues as the phone got older but it didn't really bother me and I had it sent over to Apple to have the sleep/wake button issue resolved about two weeks ago. Since then, I have purchased the iPhone 6 and gave my old iPhone to my husband. As I'm the one who deals with all the gadgets, I do the updating stuff. My iPhone 6 is on the latest iOs 8.0.2 and it doesn't have any problem whatsoever. My iPhone 5 and iPad 2nd gen (3g + wifi) also had the latest iOs update and both have recurring problems now. Both have problems picking up up wifi signals. Even when I have the iPhone 6 next to them, which has full bars (wifi), the two older gadgets are struggling to pick any signal at all. And if they actually get onto the internet, I only get 1 bar and the internet surfing on them are as sluggish as ever. The battery on the iPhone 5 has drastically gone downhill as well. I have tried to change the WPE/WPA2 connection on the router but it is still the same. I even tried to "Forget the network" and logged in manually again to no avail. The keychain thing on iCloud has been turned off but no change has been noticed. Is there anything else I can do to have this issue resolved? Thanks in advance!

    HHowever, I am still looking for a way to bypass the "connect to iTunes" logo since I am in a location with only my iPad and I need to use my phone

  • Recently updated iPad 2nd gen and wooden bookcase is gone form iBook app now just a white screen

    recently updated iPad 2nd gen and wooden bookcase is gone form iBook app now just a white screen

    Yes, if you updated to iOS 7 you also got a new version of iBooks.  The new iBooks app does not have the wooden shelf theme at all.  The library has been re-styled for iOS 7 to be a plain white area listing your book or pdfs.

  • I updated to an iphone5 and only a few of my photos came in from the photostream how ever all of the are still on my iPad?! How do I get the rest of the photos over to my iphone5?!

    I updated to an iphone5 and only a few of my photos came in from the photostream how ever all of the are still on my iPad?! How do I get the rest of the photos over to my iphone5?!

    First of all, photo stream only saves up to 1000 photos and up to 30 days before they are deleted.  The only thing you can do at this point is to sync the photos from the ipad to a computer and then sync to the iphone 5.

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.
