Why can I not update my Ipad to ios 7.1.1?
I get an error every time I try to download updates. Is anyone else having this problem and what is the fix?
If you were using WiFi, try using iTunes, and if you were using iTunes, try using WiFi. If you are using iTunes, try disabling your firewall and antivirus software. If you are getting a specific error message, post it. The more information you provide, the easier it might be to help.
Provide some context, explain what happens when you try to update.

Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?
Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?
Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
compatible with your iOS.
Perhaps one of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -

HT4972 why can't I update my ipad to ios 4.3
I have an ipad model A1219 with ios 4.2.1 and would like to update to 4.3 to be able to install certain apps. Itunes is indicating there are no updates available at the moment. Does that mean that I can't do the update and that I'll have to stay with this ios?
Thank you very much for your help.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).

Why can't I update my iPad to iOS 5?
Hey. I have a 1st generation iPad that is currently running iOS 4.3.3. I have leopard 10.5.8 (yeah, I know. I'm out of date ) and every time I want to update to iOS 5, iTunes tells me that my iPad is not eligible for the requested build. Please Help!
Well, I ordered Snow Leopard so I can download Lion in the App Store and. It should be coming tomorrow. I tried to find other tips on how to fix this problem and alot of them said to use "recboot" in the process. That obviously did not work. I will hi=opefully be able to update when I get Lion.
Thank You!! -
HT4972 Why can't I update my iPad to iOS 5
I have tried and tried to update my software but consistently experience error messages like iOS 4.3 required or even iOS 5 required. I don't understand wats wrong. Help please.....
What happens when you try ?
To update from iOS 4, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

I have 19GB of storage. Why can't I update my iPad to IOS 8 when I only need 4.4 GB of storage?
I Have 19GB of storage and only need 4.4 GB to update to iOS 8. It still says I only have 4.9 GB and won't let me update the software. Why?
Do you have that 19 gigs on your device (Settings>General>Usage) or is it iCloud space? You need local space to upgrade.

Why can't you?
If you are running an iOS version lower than 5, you'll need to connect your iPad to a computer running iTunes and update through there.

Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!
If you have an original iPad 1, the latest version of iOS it can run is iOS 5. So you should be able to update no problem.
Update iTunes to the latest version (11.0.2). Then simply plug your iPad into the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad either in the sidebar or the top navigation bar. Then attempt to update the software. If it doesn't work, please post the exact error message.
Note that it would be wise to first ensure you back up the iPad. -
