Why won't my iPad 2 upgrade to iOS 8.1
For some reason, my iPad will not update to iOS 8.1 and I have no idea why. I have more than the required amount of space and have already tried to upgrade it four or five times. I did a hard drive shut down and it still wouldn't work. Any idea how to fix this?
Hi Do a Factory Reset this will make ipad as new and get rid of some bugs. Use same Apple ID and you will get all your Apps & data back. New software update out soon ios 8.1.1 this is to help Older IPhones & ipads. Cheers Brian

Why won't my ipad work after installing iOS 6???
I upgraddd to iOS 6 on my ipad 2, and got as far as signing into my yahoo in order to include icloud, etc, and it kept timing out. Eventually, it allowed me to skip that step, but I can't do anything with it anymore. I got the Ipad so I wouldn't have to deal with this kind of thing. What do I do to fix it?
Perform a Reset... Try again...
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.

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...

why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

3. Try another charger -
Why won't my iPad air charge anymore? I bought a new cable but it still doesn't charge, it is only 3 months old.
If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty. -

Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?
A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact. -
HT1689 why won't my ipad 1 download entire purchased tv episodes
Why won't my ipad 1 download an entire purchased tv episode?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad. -

The iPad 1 can only run iOS up to 5.1.1. It can't be updated beyond that.
