Why won't my iPad update to 7.1 after I paid for more storage as prompted

I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad. I just paid $20 TWICE to gain more icloud storage to allow the 7.1 update on my iPad. Neither purchase worked and I'm out $40!?

Then you are out of luck. You can't update if you are unwilling or unable to free up space on your iPad.

HT1766 Why can't I use my camera on my iPhone 5, nor am I able to update an app, with my iPhone claiming that there is not enough storage, even though I paid for mor storage, and my phone claims I still have plenty storage... I guess i bought a$500doorsto

Why does my iPhone 5 keep saying "cannot download" "There is not enough storage to download 'Facebook'. (Btw, I already have fb on my iphone 5, just trying to update it). You can manage your storage in Settings... Well, in settings, I have plenty of storage left that I bought... called iCloud! What's up with this piece of $500 junk I bought from apple, that it won't allow me to record memorable moments in my life!!! Should I go back to android, which lets me record hours of video/audio/pictures, without ever "CHARGING ME EXTRA", never even a dime!!! What a waste of time, energy, resources, etc. I miss Steve Jobs... He wouldn't have screwed his customers over like this!

Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much available local storage you have available. You can also see what apps are taking up the most room.
You say that you paid for more iCloud storage. That's for back ups. You can't download apps to it or steam media from it. In order to take pictures you have to have space on the phone itself.
Best of luck.

Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general- reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
it would be much appreciated.

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 drooping 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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Why won't my iPad update

My iPad won't update!!! The newest version and the one I'm trying to get is 7.1.2. The Install now button is there but when I click it it has me enter my passcode then I agree to terms of service (which I think are just stupid because no one reads it) and then it says it's verifying the update. Now it loads for like 30 seconds then stops and a thing pops up saying "software update itnot available at this time. Try again later."

Hello Animalman526,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're having issues with downloading the iOS 7.1.2 update over the air. Rather than doing this update OTA, please attempt to update your iPad through iTunes by following the article below:

Why won't my ipad update to 5.0

My ipad will not update to 5.0. I have an older (late 2008) macbook that has been updated to lion 10.7.3 and my itunes is up to date as well (10.5.3) but when I plug my ipad into the computer it tells me that my ipad is not "eligible" to be updated. I am not a computer "nerd" though I know my way around with a little help. I have made sure there is no USB ports taken except with the ipad, I have checked that I have no security software running (I have none) and I have attempted to follow the steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297. THis actually wouldn't let me because I supposedly don't input the correct password though I am the only admin on the computer and I tried everthing possible. I have about 10 apps on my ipad that won't update due to the non-5.0 format of my ipad. SO - any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Okay - I finally repaired my ipad/macbook...
This is what had to be done.
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help/ipad-iphone-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-build/
Followed the instructions and BAM - It was upgraded in about 6 hours. Haha
Took forever to walk through the steps but really is on 5.1 now.
Thanks for all your help!!!

Why won't my iPod let me listen to music and videos for more than a few seconds?

When I press the music icon, my iPod goes to my playlists for about 2 seconds, appears to flash, and then returns to the home screen. What should I do??

Try the basics from the manual:
Restart.
Reset.
Restore.

HT1918 Why can i not now update apps which I have already paid for because my credit card was declined?

My credit card was rejected but now I can't even use the apps I have already paid for. *** iTunes! I can't delete the card and use another payment method can't do anything. Is there a way around this? Or just another case of apple rear ending us hard?

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you have a credit card on your account then it will need to be valid. If you don't have a card to replace it with then have you tried removing it from your account ? On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

Why won't my apps update on my ipad? I have 7 updates waiting to go and when I click on them they all say they are installing but they have never completed their installation? Please help

Try resetting ...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
You won't lose any data as a result of a reset.

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.
