Why can I not see the update softwared tab in General?

I need to update my iPad 2 and there is no "Update Software" tab. Plus, I am unable to access itunes on the ipad. I have checked my wifi connection and it is fine.

Hi NISTeacher12,
Apple has been experiencing all kinds of problems the past 2 days with their iTunes Store and many of their other online services. If I was in your shoes, I'd first try a "reset" (different from restarting) by holding down both the Home button AND Sleep/Wake button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Then check to see if you can connect to Apple's services.
Hope this helps!

  • HT4972 Why can't I see the update download option under general? I need to download iOS 5

    Why can't I see an option to download the ios5 upgrade under General settings

    you can update an iPad 1 up to iOS 5.1.1 , you need to connect it to iTunes on a computer and update from there
    For instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623 and scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes
    Please  note that iPad 1 goes up to iOS 5.1.1, while iPad 2 goes up to iOS 6.1.3, the (current) latest version. You won't be able to ' choose '  iOS 5.1.1 on iPad 2, it will automatically update to the latest version possible.
    Good luck

  • Why can i not see the time line and canvas? Also, why am i not able to click on them either?

    I am not able to see the time line and canvas in the motion 5.  Also i am not able to click on it either

    Try selecting 'revert to original layout' in the window menu. If that doesn't help I would delete Motion preferences in ~/library/preferences/com.apple.motionapp.plist and com.apple.motionapp.LSSharedFileList.plist. You can also try deleting the layouts folder in ~/Library/Application Support//Motion. I assume that at some earlier time Motion was behaving properly. If this problem has occured when you first tried to open it after downloading then I'd reinstall it.

  • Why can I not see the entire MS word file when saved as a PDF?

    I saved a MS word template as a PDF and only part of the document is visible.  The MS Word doc was erased, so I need to be able to see the remainder of the document.

    By "part of the document" do you mean just certain pages or are pages cut off or...?
    If pages are missing, that is probably what was chosen when it was printed to the pdf (or they were removed somewhere down the line). Again, the lost information would not be in the pdf file.

    Make sure iPad and Apple TV is on the same network.
    Reboot router, Apple TV and iPad if necessary.

  • HT4623 my ipad 1 is not showing the update software tab?

    I am currently using 1st generation ipad and would like to update the software to ios 4.3 or higher. I am having issues finding the link; can someone help?

    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.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    NOTE: The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond iOS 5.1.1.

  • Why can't I see the left most tab in a window with FF6?

    My problem is that when I upgraded to FF6 and started firefox in some windows the left most tab is hidden, what do I need to do to be able to see all of my tabs? I did not have this problem with FF4 only the last version of FF5 and FF6. I reverted back to FF4 and was reluctant to upgrade because of this issue. I can get to the tab by going to tab group but I see this as an unnecessary step. perhaps you should stop having lunch with your microsoft neighbors.

    I think you would have had the same problem in 3.6. Anyway the tabs do not narrow down instead they scroll off the left side or off of the right side and you can only show 5 or 6 tabs depending on how wide you have your window.
    The following three styles will help you to work with tabs, the first one will help with your specific problem. Be sure tho read the write-up because you will need some configuration changes as well. The one with the tab borders will need an extension from the MozillaZine site.

  • HT201285 Why can i not see the entire Message in my spotlight search? when i click on it

    I am about to SCREAM!!! How do you read the entire search result in spolight? Please someone help me!! I am not good with this phone. Would it make a difference if the message had been deletedfrom the conversation? HELP

    It's not clear just what you're asking.
    If you search for, say, "Smith" on the iPhone's Spotlight-like search feature (which you get to on the iPhone by swiping left-to-right from the home screen), you will see, among other things, those text messages that are sent by "Smith".  You can then click on one of the messages shown.  Doing this will reveal the entire message.

    When I mouse over a link the URL does not display at the bottom anymore and I cannot figure out how to make it display so that I know where I'm going before clicking. I only just recently noticed this happening and am not sure what changed.
