Updating iPad operating system and need a 4-digit security number

I am trying to update my OS to 7.1.1 on my iPad. Ii was just asked for a 4-digit security number, and I have no idea what that is. I haven't set up a 4-digit security number!

It is asking for the passcode you use to lock/unlock iPad

The normal suggestions.
Close the app,off fully. Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
Then reboot the pad and try the spp again. If same issue, delete the app, then reload it. ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy. If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update. I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.
Since yours is the ad supported version, they are maing real sure you see the ad. Is it as simple as you need to click thru the ad to get to the game?

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done but when I unplugged it from my computer the ipad has the apple logo and a long hollow oval under the logo and I can't get anything to work. Any suggestions?

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

Issue updating iPad operating system

I have been trying to update the operating system on my ipad but each time i do it crashes at the last stage, can anyone help?
It says the connection is timing out once it is 1% from complete!

If you are having problems downloading the iPad iOS update and you're getting a network timeout message, then have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have been able to download successfully after doing so.

IPad Operating System and iTunes libraries consolidation

Two missions: First trying to consolidate multiple libraries within my family. Have iTunes on laptop (windows xp) with 55GB of music on it which is sync'ed with sons iPod and my iPod. Also have a iPad which my husband has bought a good amount of music on. Will I lose all of his purchases if I sync the iPad with my iTunes library? Should I burn CD's from his iPad (can you do this) then reimport them into my iTunes library??
Second mission: Because the iPad is older it needs a upgrade to the operating system and the only way I understand this can be done is through a sync with iTunes (newer versions allow this to be done on the iPad itself). It has never been connected to a computer.
THANKS Techie folks!!

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
You'll need to get the current media that exists only on the iPad into the iTunes library, back up, then restore that backup.

HT4972 Updating IPad operating system

I have an early IPad (version 3.2.1 (7B405) model MB292LL), is it possible to update the operating system to IOS?

The iPad 1 can be upgraded to 5.1.1.
If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Can I restore my IPADs operating system and dump IOS7?

Like millions of other faithful IPAD owners, I too updated my system to ios7 last Wednesday. Immediately following the update, I no longer was able to operate many beloved apps. Can I restore my previous system and dump the ios7?

One of my favorite apps was Dish Network for IPAD. After the ios7 update, I was no longer able watch movies. Other apps such as PBS won't run either. I use some things on Dish and PBS for educational purposes in the classroom so the update has interfered with my personal and work usage. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have updated the operating system and cannot find how to link my apple tv

How do you close open apps with the new operating system. Used to double click and then tap on open apps and delete them to save using up power?????

Close Apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

While updating iPad operating system to 8.1 stuck on Terms

While updating to iOS 8.1 on my iPad (My iPad is model A1459. Don't know if it's an iPad or iPad 2. It's just over a yer old), it froze on Terms & Conditions and is not responding when I press: "agree." I can't close it or use the iPad at ALL now! When I turn it off and on again, it comes back to the same frozen page after I enter my PIN. I had about 98% battery when I started, so didn't plug it in. I still have 91% battery. Now I plugged it in to see if it would help, but it didn't. What do I do? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

In case anyone else has this problem, my Nefew helped me fix it. I pressed & held the "home" and "power" buttons to reset it. I had to do it twice. But then it started working again, thank God!

I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?

Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
Or do you have system sounds muted?
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck!

I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success. Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.2mb and starts to process the file. Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out.

Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.
