Why can I get ios 7 on my ipad mini

Why can I not get ios 7 on my ipad mini 16 gb? It's frustrating.

My iphone 5 is having a similar issue. Instead of getting an error message it just says "ios 6.1.4 your software is up to date". Any suggestions?

  • Can I get iOs 5 on IPad 1

    Can I get iOS 5 on the iPad 1

    If you are asking about iOS 5 then I suspect that you have a version of iOS on your iPad that is earlier than iOS 5. To update from these earlier versions you must update while connected to the computer you normally sync with.
    Start iTunes on that computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in iTunes n your computer and select Summary from the row of tabs to the right. Scroll down under Summary to find Check for updates.

  • Can u get iOS 7 on iPad 1

    Can u get iOS 7 on an iPad 1

    No. 5.1.1 is the last compatible version.
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    how can i get ios 7 in my ipad 2? i have tried to update it but in my setting>general there is no icon for software update.so help me please!

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    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.

  • If I buy a new iPad now, which version can I get iOS 6 not iOS 7? iPad mini version 1?

    If I buy iPad mini version 1 now, can I get iOS 6 not iOS 7? I really don't like iOS 7. Or can I get iPad mini versin 2 with iOS 6 as a special request for my order? Thanks.

    I agree with Texas Mac Man. Many stores that have stock of non-retina mini might still have ios 6. Apple id only selling non-retina ipad minis in the 16 gb version. I just checked Best Buy and they are selling the 32 and 64 gb versions, so should have ios 6. They're pick up at store only, so they're clearing out old stock. Check with authorized Apple resellers and see if they have any. Act fast, though.
