UPGRADE IPAD!

how do I upgrade the ios 5.1.1 ipad to 6?

The very fact that software update fails to find any further updates or upgrades beyond iOS 5.1.1 is telling you that you have a 1st gen. iPad.  It simply cannot run any version of iOS higher than 5.1.1.
Apple's iOS software update system automatically detects your hardware and only offers you the very latest version compatible with that hardware.
You can confirm the model here - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5452

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

    ============================================================
    Throws error saying

    Can anybody please respond

    Try this and see if it resolves the issue.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Then try again.

    Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

  • Cannot turn off passcode after ios8 upgrade - iPad mini

    Upgraded iPad mini to ios8 and cannot turn off the passcode.  In settings, I can turn it off but it tells me that I need to set a passcode within 60 minutes.  It then counts down and requires me to set a passcode once 60 minutes are up.  Also does not let me change duration of passcode (from immediately to 4 hours for example).  Any thoughts on how to turn it off?  Thanks.

    is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
    If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

  • Outlook 2011 on my iMac crashing after upgrading iPad with iCloud and syncing

    Plugged in my iPad to iMac.  It asked to upgrade iPad to 5.0.1.  Install seemed to go fine. I then synced calendars and contacts thru iTunes.  When I later restarted iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) Outlook 2011 crashed as soon as messages window opened.  Other Office products-Word and Excel still work fine.
    I Time Machined my Database-same crash.  Time machined the entire Outlook application-same crash.
    Reinstalled Outlook application from my original Office DVD.  Now get a "Microsoft Office cannot be opened because of a problem" error message with no attempt to open program. 
    Any suggestions out there?

    It isn't possible unless your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 (Lion) or higher.  Also, you cannot sync iCloud contacts and calendars with Outlook 2011 for Mac, it that's what you have.  It will only sync these with the built-in OS X contacts and calendars apps.  (It will sync contacts and calendars with Outlook 2007 or higher for Windows.)

  • My iPad2 won't sync with iTunes.  Upgraded iPad to iOS 6, iTunes is latest version (10.7).  Cable connection.  What am I missing?

    My iPad2 won't sync with iTunes.  Upgraded iPad to iOS 6, iTunes is latest version (10.7).  Cable connection.  What am I missing?

    I'm having the same, identical problem. It goes into step 2 (backing up process) then it goes back to step one (finding iPad) and it starts over again. It will just keep doing that for 3 or 4 times until it will say "iPad not found". This is so frustrating.

  • Upgraded iPad and now can't open ne apps

    Upgraded iPad 2 to the new version and it won't sync any apps and unable to open them

    This thread is the closest I have seen to my particular problem.
    I have an iPad 3 which my work bought me, and they preinstalled some pay-apps. I then changed AppleID on the machine and downloaded some of mine registered to my own iPad, which worked fine, but now when going back to the work-registered ones, they seem to open and show in the dock thing, but do not launch. I have tried the reset and downloading another free one, at least from my AppleID. Maybe work, with their secret Apple ID need to do this too.... This is hassle, since I am currently on leave.
    paulcb.... You sound like maybe you had some experience of this kind of thing.
    Any ideas? Anyone?

  • Upgrade iPad to ios5 no upgrade option

    I am trying to upgrade my iPad to ios5 but have no upgrade in general and also cannot connect to pc...?? All I have is wifi from my phone to get on the Internet, can I still upgrade just using my iPhone 5 ??
    Need to upgrade IPad as limited hope u can help me...... Was going to book appt @ meadow hall but saying no appts???

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. 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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

    My iPad 1 running on iOS 5.1.1. My applications are frequently crashing. Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

    None of us are going to argue with you, but hardware changes, and more rapidly these days. The original iPhone doesn't run very much at all, and of course it can't even run 3G. But some people are happy with it. Non-Intel Macs can't run the latest OSX.
    Apple needs to be competitive by making the fastest and most modern tablet it can, and that means within 3 or so years what I have now could be antiquated. That also means Apple has to make a decision about whether to try to force the operating system to continue to be backwards compatible which may have speed issues, for example, for those who have current hardware.
    iOS 5.1.1 is very advanced. It's only really missing a few things from iOS 6.1, some of which a LOT of people don't like. Maps is one. The loss of Google Maps is another.
    There is nothing you can do. Most Apps don't let you update if it is incompatible with your current iOS, so you should be all right.
