Why does IOS 5.1upgrade on iPad 1 fail?

Trying to upgrade from IOS 5.01 to 5.1 never connects to Apple servers. Has anyone succeeded in upgrading iPad IOS 5.01 to 5.1?

My upgrade to iOS 5.1 went fine. Took a while but the download was completed and the installation completed with no hitches. There are now millions of iPads and it seems most of those owners are attempting to upgrade.

Why does connecting to S/W download fails whether from the computer or iPad?

Where are you trying to download? My App Store app is working just fine.
First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it? I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

Hi Lisa,
I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
Changing computers in the past.
A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
A sign of a failing iPod.
Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
Hope this helps!

Why does the screen on my iPad mini jump around? Apps open and close, I can't get back to the home screen. Is my mini possessed?

Why does the screen on my iPad mini start jumping--larger, smaller--can't close apps. I reboot and still it happens. Any suggestions?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides

Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides?

To elaborate a little more Nick, that is a feature designed to make it easier to type when holding the iPad with both hands.
If you tap the icon in the lower right of the keyboard, you will see the option to Merge the keyboard back together. If you hold the icon and drag your finger up and down, you will move the keyboard.
Hope that helps!

It will not hurt to try a Reset... this is one of the First steps in Troubleshooting...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Does ios 7 make the ipad 2 slower?

Does ios 7 make the ipad 2 slower?

Bought my wife a used, but practically like new 64 GB iPad 2 and iOS 7 seems to run fine with no issues other than the wallpaper resizing issues mentioned in other iOS 7 posts.
I think iOS 7 runs even better on an iPad 2 because no extra processing power is being used for a retina display because iPad 2 doesn't have a retina display.
I noticed this as my iPad 3 on iOS 7 runs well, but seems a little laggy compared to my wife's iPad 2.

Why does IOS 7 enlarge pictures for the wallpaper and then disallow you to make them smaller to fit the screen?

Why does IOS 7 enlarge pictures for the wallpaper and then disallow you to make them smaller to fit the screen?

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I am sure I have read that the parallax effect in iOS 7 is the main reason behind wallpapers not being able to be shrunk. However, even disabling the effect will not allow you to resize the pictures like you could in previous versions of iOS, so as Skydiver119 said, it kind of is a glitch. If you are like me, and don't regularly change your wallpaper, then it may be worth creating a photoshop document which is slightly larger than your screen resolution(400px in each direction or so) and then placing your picture to suit, before copying it your device. Obviously, this would not be ideal if you were changing your wallpaper daily or very regularly as it would be a bit of a hassle having to do this every time you wanted to change your wallpaper.
Hope this Helps!

Why does my iPhone (4S) and iPad (The New iPad) keep asking me for my Apple ID password after I created an iCloud account and merged my old Apple ID with a new one?

I got an iPad2 for Christmas and went to the Apple Store to have them transfer over my contacts from my iPhone4S to the iPad2. They said they had to do it over iCloud and help me set up an iCloud account. But I had an old Apple ID (one without an "@icloud.com" name or other email address attached to it). When they did that it basically screwed up my whole Apple ID account. Now, both my iPhone4S and iPad2 randomly prompt me to enter my Apple ID password for my old Apple ID!, which they said does not exist anymore. So confused...please advise.

The email you should NOT have published, is your iCloud, not Apple ID
You Apple ID is a valid email address
This is a user forum, not Apple customer service.
I gather the security question did not work.
If you have an email address, why not use that?
If this fails you have to contact support and schedule help.

Why does a motion control unit constantly fail during config

Why does a drive fail during config.... I am trying to control a machine using faulhaber motors (5 of them) with faulhaber controls, one drive fails during config (fatally fails) and it is not wired any different to any of the others... even with only 24v supply, it dies... Blue screen and restart of pc... the others all worked perfectly, with no fault. The process we are using for the troublesome drive is exactly the same... We are stuck, can anyone please help?

thank you, but faulhaber are all on holiday, and I am really struggling..... tis only one unit and only when it is positioned in one place... checked all electrical connections, no shorts, no loose wires, even fails when just power and serial connected.... so not even motor problem.....

Why does iOS 6 apple App Store keep on saying "cannot connect to iTunes Store" ?? Apple, please fix this problem or else I am switching to Samsung!!!

Why does App Store keep crashing!!! It's completely ****!! I am going to buy an android phone if they don't fix this immediately!!!

Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. I'll bet you've not tried any or all of these basic steps.
BTW, we're users, here, not Apple. So threating to buy an android phone not only makes you look like an idiot, but none of us users on this forum really give a **** what you do.
