Upgrade my ios offline on my ipad2!!

Hello.
I don't want to upgrade my ios version by connecting my ipad to itunes. Is there a way to do it by downloading ios to my mac and then upgrading the ipad?

Can i download a copy of the latest version of ios to my mac then upgrade my ipad offline?
You don't have any choice. That's the only way that you can do it prior to IOS-5.
Connect to your computer. If iTunes does not start automatically, start it up. An update message will appear automatically.
Edit...
I just reread your original post where you don't want to use iTunes. Well, then what you want is impossible. Why don't you want to use iTunes?

Should i upgrade to IOS 8.3 for IPAD2. my current version is 7.1.2

should i upgrade to IOS 8.3 for IPAD2. my current version is 7.1.2 and ipad2 is 64gb,wifi +3g

Do not do it! I just recently upgraded. My ipad 2 is super slow. All the efforts to speed it up/optimize didn’t help much. iPad 2 doesn’t have enough memory and cpu is not powerful enough to handle ios 8. Apple made bad call releasing it (or the intention was to brick old hardware so people go to stores to buy newer hardware). To make matters worse iOS 8.3 is very unstable – my ipad kept crushing very frequently – something I never saw before. Thank god I was able to revert to 8.2. I spent countless hours trying to downgrade to 7.1.2 only to learn that it’s impossible. I even went to Apple store to ask for help with downgrading but they just said what I already knew – it was impossible. Just like mdiamond58 said if I could downgrade to 7.1.2 I would do it in a heartbeat. Thank you Apple for changing my iPad into paper weight.

Hi,
I am a new mac user.As soon as I got my mac book pro I updated to Yosemite 10.10 and since then when I try to update my apps in app store I get the following message.

This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled

Upgrade to iOS 6 on my iPad2 stopped. iTunes wants to restore

The upgrade seemed to proceed smoothly. Then the screen showed a graphic, requesting I physically connect to iTunes. I dd so, but iTunes will not offer any alternative save "restore" to factory defaults. The message asociated with restoring suggests that I will lose everything installed on my iPad. I tried rebooting the iPad. No luck. I left it on overnight. Same. I updated software on my Mac and checked to see that iTunes is up to date. Everything squares. But, same response to connecting to the iPad - must be restored. Is a restore as destructive as it sounds? Do I have any alternatives?
Thanks for your help.

you must restore for the update to be successful. It will erase EVERYTHING, but if you have icloud or youve created a backup, you will get things back.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on". Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? I did not have this issue with the previous OS. Thank you.

Thank you, James, but I do have a WiFi connection on the iPad mini. The Numbers files update on my iPad third generation and iPhone just fine when connected to the same network.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you!

Videos won't play on iPad2 after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3

I have iPad2, 16g storage. Recently upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and since then no email will play. This includes any videos in my FaceBook news feed, any sent via email or even any long-existing videos in Dropbox. Has anyone had same issues? Can anyone help?
THanks.

Without knowing exactly what happens when you try to play a video, close all apps and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset 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.
IF that fails to help, and it very well could, you should describe what is happening so that more specific suggestions can be offered.

Apps keep crashing after upgrade to ios 7 ipad2

After upgrading to ios 7 most of my apps keep crashing on ipad2 why? Do i need to re-install them? Please help

i am having the same experience (as well as several other problems) since installing iOS7 on my iPad2. The apps briefly appear to open when I tap their icons, but then disappear. double tapping the Home key to bring up the multi-tasking view idicates that the apps are running in the background but, I cannot access them.
This fiasco began because I was unable to login to my One-to-One account after the iOS7 update. I spent 4 hrs on the phone last night, with 4 different people from Apple support, restoring the iPad to factory settings & then restoring the image from my iCloud backup, only to end up with the situation described above. And I still can't login to my One-to-One account, plus I amnow also unable to access the iTunes store. I am sure there are other problems that I have yet to discover.
This has been such a "Windows" experience that I find myself wondering if Apple truly has lost its mojo & mystique. Are their pretty products worth their premium prices? More importantly, are they worth the frustration I experience, & the time that lost from my life, in trying to resolve problems with their"improvements". If asked today, my answer would be a very loud & resounding "NO"!!!!!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

IPad2 upgrade to iOS 8 ? from iOS 6 !

Hi my wife has been scared stiff to upgrade her most favourite Toy for fear of loosing Photos accumulated over a few years, currently she has iOS 6 on her 16gb iPad2
There is an App she would like, but it tells her she needs to upgrade to iOS7.
I have heard rumours that some people have LOST photos when they have upgraded to iOS 8, if my missus looses any of her Photos, MY LIFE WILL NOT BE WORTH LIVING !!!!
I started to upgrade it and was told there was not enough Memory !!!, Alarm bells rang immediately. I deleted some Apps and tried again, and I then got cold feet, and stopped the Upgrade downloading by switching it OFF
So please what is the best way to Upgrade my Wifes iPad2 WITHOUT loosing ANY of her Photos ????? Please Please
Tim

Import the photos to the Mac from the camera roll, those would be the photos that she doesn't want to lose - the ones that she took with the iPad. If she has any synced photos on the iPad, then they are already on the Mac.
You might want to consider using iTunes to update the iPad rather than doing it over th air via WiFi. The file is smaller when you use iTunes. You absolutely want to backup and transfer purchases before you update the device.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch iOS software
NOTE - iCloud is NOT for storage. It is for backups. You should import the photos to your computer rather than rely on an iCloud backup.

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
If that does not work, restore the iPad to the factory settings.

My iPad2 (wifi only) is significantly slower since upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. Is Apple addressing this? Any way to go back to iOS 7?

I run an iPad 2 on iOS 8.0.2 and have no significant speed issues (FWIW).
Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.
Any way to go back to iOS 7?
No. Apple does not support iOS downgrades.

HT4972 Can iPad2 be upgraded with ios 5.0 ?

Can iPad2 be upgraded with ios 5.0 or above version ?
If yes, please let me know the process.

The iPad 2 can be upgraded to 6.1.3.
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.

Lost music & videos... Mistake to upgrade ios to latest for iPad2?

While traveling i made the mistake of upgrading my ios on ipad 2. Problems:
1) music and video gone. Cant log into icloud (pw issue) despite using 1password - think this is down to synchronisation across devices... Too complicated, need phd?
2) if an app stalls i cant double click the round button to shut that app down for a restart.
Any words of wisdom? Can i reverse upgrade or should this possibly considered?
Thanks to anyone who has any useful pointers for me.

That MAY work for some people but not for most. It is not possible to get content back. The content will be there the first time you try to access anything but will disappear again.
