Why I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS5? I just brought it from computer centre/...

as sujbect, please help.

Had the exact same issue with an iPad 1 running 4.2 and not willing to upgrade to 4.3.x, not 5.0.  Here is what AppleCare recommended and worked for me:
1)  Try downloading iTunes directly from the apple web site -- do not use the 'check for updates' option within iTunes.
2)  If you are presented with repair/remove, then you are running the latest -- run repair anyway.
3)  Connect iPad, select iPad in iTunes, and try 'Check for updates'
If still no luck, do the upgrade manually:
4)  Make sure iTunes is logged in to same account used on iPad.  Transfer all purchases.
5)  Do a backup.
6)  Download iOS 5 manually to your desktop:  http://appldnld.apple.com/iPhone4/041-8357.20111012.DTOrM/iPad1,1_5.0_9A334_Rest ore.ipsw
7)  SHIFT-RESTORE in iTunes and point to the downloaded file.  After installed, restore your most recent backup.

    I can't update my ipad2 to ios5. After 2 hours of what looks like a successful download and processing is about to begin, I lose connection and get message network timed out check network settings and connection, but I am still connected via wifi. Any ideas?

    If you are using windows...
    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

  • HT4623 I haven't got an option for software update? How can I update my ipad2

    I haven't got an option for software update? How can I update my ipad2 to ios5.1

    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).

  • Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

    Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT4623 Why I can't update my iPad 2 to the iOS 7

    Why I can't update my iPad 2 to the iOS 7

    Are you trying to update OTA (over the air) on the iPad itself? To do so, you need to have iOS 5.x or above installed. The OTA update feature was added with this version. If you are running below iOS 5.x, you need to use your PC to update the iPad to the newest iOS 7.
    Check your iOS version: Settings>General>About
    The number displayed under "Version" is your current iOS version.

  • Why I can't open my ipad2?  Can't slide open !

    Why I can't open my ipad2?  Can't slide open !

    Perhaps the touch screen is malfunctioning. Is your finger very cold? Is the iPad very cold?
    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to iOS 5?

    Why I can't update my iPad o iOS 5?

    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is 7.0.4
    What happens when you follow the instructions on the page that you posted from ?
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. 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 via File > Devices > Back Up.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • HT201210 I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS 6, it fails and I get a message "could not backup the IPAD because the backup could not be saved to this computer--I have tried different computers?  Please, anyone have this same issue and figured out a fix?  Thank

    I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS6.  I've tried through ITUNEs.  I get a message after IOS6 is downloaded and extracted, to the effect of "could not backup the IPAD2 because the backup could not be saved to this computer."  I've tried directly from the IPAD, and by connecting through ITUNES to two separate computgers.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

  • HT4623 why a can't update from 4.1 to 6.1

    why a can't update from 4.1 to 6.1

    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694  for causes and solutions.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

    Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update.please help

    If you have an iPad 1G you cannot run iOS 7. If you are currently using iOS 4.x.x then you cannot upgrade OTA. Instead do this:
    Give this a try:
    Download Apple – iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.
