Why can't users update their devices with 5.1?

I can't update my iPad 2 with the new software and I saw that it's not only me.It says that there is a problem with the server, please fix the bug.

We are fellow users here, you are not addressing Apple - there are too many forums, threads, messages for Apple to monitor these forums.
If you wait a day or two then you should be able to download it. A lot of people are probably trying to download the update to the iPad, iPhone and or iPod Touches, so the servers may be having problems coping with the demand

  • Why can´t I see other devices with Bluetooth from my Mac Mini?

    Why can´t I see other devices with Bluetooth from my Mac Mini?

    Be sure nothing is on top of the Mac Mini. BT and Wi-Fi antennas are just beyond the top. If something is onto the Mac Mini, wireless job will not be OK.

  • Why can't users set their own defaults in the communities?

    I could care less for the most part to get posts from a year or two ago when I search in the support communities. However, I can find no way to set my search preference. It is auto set to relevance. I'd prefer the have it set to Date. I searched for something regarding iMovie. I got hits that are totally irrelevant that go back to before the last two major changes in iMovie. What good is that?

    Hmm, I just typed Mavericks into the search box and was presented with this window:
    At that point, I usually specify (click on) past "day", "week", or whatever and that works.

  • HT201184 Why can't I update my MacBook with the latest iTunes application?

    I purchased a MacBook in 2009. I tried connecting my new iPhone in order to Sync with iTunes, but I'm prompted to update my iTunes on the Apple website. When I do the update, I receive a message that my computer doesn't accept the update. What could be wrong?

  • Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7.  From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful.  According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it).  Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen.  This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D. 
    As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well.  I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine.  Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen.  It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen...  If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

  • Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

    You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

    How to deal with a 100 Store Error:
    Try here >  Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here;
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    Click Go
    Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.

    Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

  • Why can't I update my 1st generation ipad past iOS version 5.1.1?

    My 1st generation iPad crashed all the time. I can hardly use it any longer. Someone suggested updating to a new version of iOS. My current version is 5.1.1 & it keeps saying that is the latest version. Why can't I update it??

    In theory you're right that Missy8818's device will "continue work as it always has" except that more and more apps will require updates that she won't be able to do. Before long, it really won't work like it always has.
    Not exactly. Just because apps have updates available, does not mean they are required. You will not be able to update apps to get the new features and looks but the version of the apps you currently have should work as they do right now even if they are no longer available in the app store. Just be sure to backup up your device and your iTunes library.
    My frustration is also in the lack of options.. I have a 15 yr old Win 98 machine that I could still use if I wanted to – albeit with outdated, old,  but still functioning  software. Sure using these older versions I give up newer bells and whistles, but that is a compromise I CAN CHOOSE to make if I wish to hold on a little longer to my hardware. Apple offers no such choice with the Ipad. Their timeline for obsolescence is your time line. Take it or leave it.
    As with your iPad, the 15 year old Windows 98 machine will not be able to update to the most current versions of the apps (programs) either, including Microsoft's own Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.

  • Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?

    Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?
    I try to update my ipod touch 4th gen. to the new iOS 4.3 software and the thing loads and after the 7-8 minutes or so, when it says "processing file" a pop up says that the network connection has timed out, and to check my network settings. I've tried several different times and get the same result. My wi-fi is working with all three bars and my computer is also connected to the internet. I've tried restoring it but it says I have to get the new software and then I get the same result( this time ipod not restored).... What's going on with my ipod? Anyone help?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to see if you have the newest version of iTunes? Also, it may help if you try the following steps.
    Download iOS from a third-party website (i reccomend http://whited00r.com/) (as this is a full operating system, it is a big download and may take time on a slow internet connection)
    Unzip the file.
    After unzipping, you should now have a .ipsw file.
    Open iTunes
    Connect your device and make sure you take a back-up of it first (if you don't all your data will be erased)
    Now, while pressing the Restore button, hold down the Alt key (for Mac) or the Shift key (for Windows).
    You should now have a window open asking you to choose a file.
    Choose the file you just downloaded from whited00r.com
    Press OK
    It should start replacing your current OS to the new one.
    When this finishes, your device will restart
    Click restore from (whatever your old device was called)
    It will put back all your apps and information

  • Why can't I update to the latest itunes version? My computer says an error occured and that if the problem persists to load manually

    Why can't I update to the latest version of itunes. My computer tells me an error occured and if it happens again to load manually

    Had exactly same problem on iPad1. "Unable to check for update. An error occurred while checking for a software update".  Been getting this since 3/7/2012.  Apple support said probably server overload.  Checked these comments and found answer that worked.
    -- Reset device
        . Backup your iPhone/iPad to iCloud (very important). Settings>iCloud> Storage and Backup>Backup Now (at the bottom)
        . Erase your device.  Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content And Settings
        .  Device will reset and wipe itself
        .  When it restarts follow the instructions on screen and setup your device.
            You're choices here do not really matter except for restoring From a  backup.
            Do not restore a backup, chose "Set up as new".
        .  When complete, the Software Update should now work which will install IOS 5.1
        .  When installed, Erase the device again (see Above).
        .  Once erased, follow the Wizard but this time select that you wish to restore from a backup
            In iCloud.  Select the backup that you took in first step.
         .  Your device should be back to normal and with IOS 5.1.
    This takes time to complete but it worked. Thanks to Glosdeveloper for this.  By the way this was an "over the air" update (as opposed to plugged in.

  • Why can't I update my iPad 3G to IOS 5? It is stuck at IOS 4.2.

    Why can't I update my iPad 3G from IOS 4.2 to IOS 5? iTunes says that no upgrades are available for the iPad but it updated my iPhone 4 and iPod Touch to IOS 5.

    No idea. What exactly is it that you see when you connect to iTunes (provide complete text, please).
    But, before doing that, bring both your iPad and your computer/iTunes combination back to a 'clean' configuration; on the iPad do a Reset, on the computer at a minimum log out and in of your user account (in OS X,  or whatever the Windoze equivalent would be) or if you prefer just do a Restart. If any flags are incorrectly set anywhere that should set them back to their proper states and, if that happens, you'll be in business when you connect and will see the update available.

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Bookmark those for future use.
