Upgrade concerns to ios6 on Ipad 3

I am concerned about upgrading to Ios6 from 5 on Ipad 3. Specifics: I have several thousand photos in albums created by using the "photo card reader" and PhotoMngPro app. None were added via Itunes synch to avoid the annoying issue of losing your photos if they are moved or removed from the PC harddrive during a synch. Also, the Ipad Photo app is too limited... can't reorder pics or delete duds. The PhotoPro app allows this and more. Also, not sure (no response from app developer) if the app is 6 compatible. Also, have 12 manuals in pdf files added by capturing from downloads. Don't know what to do or what might happen. While I synch my Ipod Touch frequent as well as Ipod Classic, I only synched the Ipad a couple of times... some time ago. Thanks for any tips, etc. As basically a PC guy for 15 years, I am rather confused by Apple's approach

What iOS are you running on your iPad? If your iOS is lower than 5, you won't have the software update option, which means you'll have to update the OS via iTunes on your computer. To check the OS:
Settings > General > About
You'll see what iOS version you have.
NOTE: Once you do update, you'll be able to update via the Cloud in the future.

Double tap Home button, delete Mail from multitask-bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

I have two Ipad2's. I successfully upgrade one to IOS6 and now the 2nd one has gotten to the point of signing in with my Apple Id and it keeps saying "Problem connecting to the server". What now?

I have two Ipad 2's. They were both IOS4. I successfully upgraded one to IOS6. When I did the second one, when I got to the end of the process where it asks for your AppleID it kept saying there was a problem with the server. Same desktop, same AppleId for both Ipads, but it wouldn't let me sign in. What can I do to fix this?

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Siri does Not work on the iPad 2. iOS 7 is not even out yet, so we have no way of knowing if you'll be able to upgrade to it.

After updating my wife's iPad to iOS6 the ipad will not connect to wifi on certain wireless routers. What can we do? Also, same for iPad mini with same router. But iPhone that has iOS5 has no problem connecting.

Need help. Before updating to latest software iOS6 the iPad had no issues connecting on our home router. After updating the iPad will not work. We have a mini iPad with same issue. But I have a iPhone 4S that I chose not to update to iOS6, still has iOS5. It connects no problem to router. Our computers have no issues connecting to router either. There is a software issue with iOS6.0.1 that will not allow certain routers to communicate. What can I do? Also, the mini iPad stated a newer version of software is out, version 6.0.2 which is supposed to correct the wifi problems. It has helped but still haven't connectivity issues. However, the iPad states software is up-to-date so we cannot update to 6.0.2 even through connecting to computer on iTunes. How can that be?

Try going to settings, reset , reset network settings.

After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately.

After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately. Even while surfing net also it happens. Earlier I thought it may be due to any software/game which is not compatible. But it happens during surfing net on Safri. No option to move back to iOS 7.

Hi BalajiPrusty,
If your iPad shuts down intermittently, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting - note: the article is for iPhones but this section is relevant to iPads as well.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically

why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically?

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

I will be traveling to Rome and Paris. I'm concerned about frying my IPad when charging the battery. Will I need a converter/adapter to charge the battery or do I just need an adapter.

I will be traveling to Rome and Paris and I'm concerned about frying my iPad when charging. Will I need a converter/adapter when charging or will I just use an adapter?

what RBRY says. Look at the fine print on your power brick. It says 100v-240v. This means it can handle world wattage.....both the us 110 and the UK/and other places 220. Anything that displays that range works anywhere in the world with the right plug adapter.
You can get plug adapters at walgreens, walmart, target, kmart, best buy, office max, office depot.....almost any major retailer. Look in the travel/luggage area.
Do some googling and find out what Italian plugs look like or you can simply find a kit that is a 'world wide' kit.

I attempted to upgrade the software on my iPad and I got a message that said it couldn't restore the iPad software due to an error. Now the iPad has a black scrren with the apple symbol and the processing symbol going around.

I attempted to upgrade the software on my iPad 2 and I got a message that said "unable to restore Ipad due to error".

How do I reset the ipad?

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas?

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas on how to get past this so that I can at least run a restore?

I Don't know that recovery mode would work, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
IF that fails, have you considered erasing the device using Find my iPhone in iCloud.com? I'm not sure what good that would do either of the iPad continues to freeze, but if nothing else is working .....

I have just upgraded to 5 on my iPad - Error -20

I have just upgraded to 5 on my iPad and now cannot restore my iPdad to its original state due to erro -20. I can't restore via iCloud either. The factory settings were auto restored and now lost all the content that was on my iPad. Help!
Is there anyway to returning all my data to my iPad?
Tried to restore by the "sync to iCloud" and the iPad just ignores the request and keeps saying I should be connected the Wi-fi, which I am.
Should I start the iPad as new and start again?

You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.
