Why can't I download iOS 6 on my ipad2?

Try to reboot the iPad by holding down the on/off button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds till you see the apple logo and let it restart. Then go look again in Updates. See if that helps.

    Which iPad do you have?  The original iPad is not compatible with iOS 6...does not have enough processor power to support iOS 6.

  • Why can't I download iOS 5 to my iPad 2?

    I don't have a computer I can sync my iPad to.  I have been trying to download the upgrade from iTunes but no luck.   Many of the apps I have on it require ios5 to update them. 

    If your iOS is pre 5, then you have to do the software update via a computer. THere is no other way. The ability to update 'over the air' comes with iOS5.

    Why can't I download adobe flashplayer on my iPad 2?  Several web programs, including Hayhouse radio, require adobe flashplAyer.  iPad has an app for Hayhouse radio, but won't work without flashplAyer to access all content.  I just got iPad for Xmas and am not sure I want it anymore cause I have so much trouble accessing web programs.  Never had an apple before!  Thank you so very much for any advice you can give me.  Crychak, oldsmAr Florida.

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

    Your model cannot run a later version of iOS. See below:
    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.

  • Why can't I download photos from Dropbox to IPad 3

    I have previously downloaded photos from Dropbox to IPad but now it won't let me do so. Also how do I delete photos from IPad please?

    You can't via Safari, but you should be able to if you use, for example, the 'official' Facebook app.

  • HT4623 Why can't I download iOS 6 it gets to end then says error

    Everytime I try to download the new iOS 6 software it comes close but then tells me it failed, how can this be resolved?

    Connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates. Backup before you proceed with update.

  • HT4623 Why can't I download iOS 7 on my iPod?

    I am very frustrated. I just wanted to download some podcasts but apparently MUST download the podcast app requires iOS 7.
    So I checked for a software update but my iPod says that there are no updates. I currently have 6.1.6. I saw on here that iOS7 is compatible (mostly) with the iPod touch so why does it not show up for OTA update?
    Do I have to download it with my computer?
    I just really cannot believe how NOT user friendly this process has been.

    You have a 4G iPod since there was not 6.1.6 for a 5G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • HT4759 Why can't I download the iOS6 on my iPad?

    I'm unable to update software to iOS on my iPad. It's running 5.1.1 and says it's up to date. Also have iCloud on both.  I have the first iPad 16.9 and have also bought more space. I've updated my iPhone. Which I'm wondering is why my photos stopped syncing to my iPad. I just took a trip to Alaska and would very much like to view those photos on my iPad. Thanks!

    The original iPad cannot be updated beyond 5.1.1 so it can't run iOS 6.  I'm not sure why your photo stream stopped working as you do not need iOS 6 to use it.  It may be an issue with your wifi as some users are having difficulty uploading photos to photo stream on their home wifi after updating to iOS 6 (particularly if they have a Comcast/Xfinity router).  To test whether that is the case, try going to a public wifi hotspot and taking a new photo, then see if it appears in your photo stream album in a minute or so.  If it does, that isolates the problem as being with your home wifi.
    Until you can get this resolved, a work around is to import the camera roll photos and videos from your phone to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then put the ones you want to have on your iPad in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting this folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing your iPad.

  • HT4623 Why can't I have IOS 6 on my iPad?

    I understand that it can only have IOS 5.1, but there are apps that demand IOS6 (and they don't require a camera).

    The iPhone 3GS got a severly neutered version of iOS 6 lacking in many features. Also the smaller screen demands less RAM than the iPads larger screen
    The fact is Apple deemed the iPad incapable of satisfactorily running iOS 6 and decided not to release it for it.
    Had it gotten the update it probably would have made the iPad unusable.
