WiFi Update from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6 on iPad 3rd Gen. Keeps failing.

Well, that's all I know, the WiFi update on my iPad 3rd Gen 16 GB + Cell keeps failing and telling me to retry, any way to solve this issue?
Thanks for your help,
Hannah

Hello sassy
All I can suggest is to continue to try (from time to time).  I updated mine, but I did it late last night when the traffic was much lighter.

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

  • Ipad 3rd gen shows blank screen when connecting to projector via HDMI AV adapter.  I have an ipad 2 that works perfectly.  Projector is a Dukane ImagePro 8106HA.  Only difference I see is that the ipad 3 owner has not updated to IOS 6. Any thoughts?

    Hello
    I purchased iPad 4th wifi  cellular from USA. Now I am using my iPad in Saudi Arabia and 4g signal does not work. Just 3G. Can you help me?
    IS there any tool to fix

    The iPad you purchased is designed to support the 4G network in the U.S.  There is no tool to fix it.  In order to get the 4G signal working in Saudi Arabia, you need to purchase an iPad there.

  • Ipad 3rd gen wifi problem

    i bought my ipad 3rd gen (wifi only) last week and when i got it home it connect to my wifi fine. but yesterday after coming home from school, it would not reconnect to my home network. suggestions?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    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.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • Can't update firmware on iPad 3rd Gen (GSM) 6.0.1

    I received an iPad 3rd gen (gsm) for my birthday from my sister in law, who works at Apple (this will come into play). The firmware is 6.0.1 and I am unable to update to the latest firmware. I have tried using iTunes and OTA and i get the generic error "Not eligible for this build." (device is not jailbroken)
    I have used four different cables and three different computers (the ota issue kind of makes this a redundant check but I tried just to be safe)
    I have deleted and redownloaded the firmware via Apple/iTunes and even finding the update and trying to manually update or restore via the ispw file.
    I have also tried the hosts file method (adding a # before the apple line and also deleting the line completely and every other combination of adding lines and such).
    I am able to restore on the device itself and that does not change my outcome when I try to update. What I think might be the issue (that I found out today) is that the iPad used to have a "Development" sticker on it. When I try to enter in the serial number into the support page it says the serial number does not exist. I have no idea where to go from here.
    Any suggestions? (unfortunately I live an hour and half from an apple store and I'd like to try and fix it myself first)

    She has no idea on what to do as she isnt a developer (I'm not going to disclose her exact position).
    I've tried to reset the content and settings and it restores it to factory default but it unfortunately still gives me the error. I'm going to try and install a beta version of ios 8 (thats still signed by apple) and see if that may work.
    I'm debating on bring it into the apple store or not as that may be my only option.

    Do you clean your iPad screen?  Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended.  There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

  • Unable to use iCloud Backup on iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1

    Hi, I have been unable to use iCloud Backup for several weeks on both my iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1 & my iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1
    iCloud Backup is set to On on both devices. It did backup once or twice, since I installed the iOS 6.0.1, then it stopped working altogether.
    I hope someone can help me.

    I know. In my post I said ....
    "remove the all day event or change the event from all day - in whatever application on your computer that you sync the calendar from and them sync again to remove the event from the iPad calendar."
    You will need to do this from your computer. If you do not use your computer to sync with iTunes, you will not be able to get around this.
    However, I should have asked of this only happens when you are trying to view events in March, so maybe I misled you. I apologize. Try this now. Quit the calendar app completely in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad 3rd gen wifi & external bluetooth gps receivers

    Has anyone had success connecting the iPAD 3rd gen wifi to external bluetooth gps receivers, other than the XGPS150 or Bad Elf?

    I had the same issue.  I came up with a work around until they get it fixed.  
    I also attempted to sync selected folders from my computer to my Ipad 3.  Only 3 of the 8 picture folders would sync to my new Ipad 3. . I had same issue as noted above. The sync would start and then stop. The selected folder which was syncing would disappear from the Ipad 3. .
    My work around:  I created a new folder in my Pictures file, copied and pasted the photos in new folder.
    I entered the Pictures folder on my computer, I made a new folder and named new folder IPAD3 ABCD
    ( ABCD was specific name of contents in folder), I then copied photos from original file that would not sync and pasted them in the new folder named IPADABCD.  I did this one at a time.  I went back and re-synced one new folder at a time.  I only had to redo the above list one time for one folder that did not sync after doing this.  But all my photo folders are now on Ipad3. 
    Hope this helps.

  • IPad 3rd Gen WIFI or GSM?

    My iPad 3rd Gen is a 16Gig wifi+cellular version. I did face a problem of getting the error of wrong firmware earlier at times when I tried to restore it by manually downloading the firmware.
    The Model stated in About section of Settings is  = 'MD369B/A'
    I am downloading the firmware iOS 7.0.4
    Which firmware should I download, GSM or WIFI ? Kindly guide me!
    Thanks in advance for any reply.

    Since its cellular you'll want the GSM version.
    But now sure where you are getting this option.  iTunes will download the correct one Automatically.
    If you are a developer and have access to alternate firmware versions then this should be posted in the developer forums.
    Other than that, downloading firmware separately is not something supported by Apple.

  • Safari issues, iPad 3rd gen iOS 5,1,1

    Right, I bought an iPad 3rd gen and I've been having to reset it 2-3 times daily because of this issue.
    When generally surfing the web, doesnt matter what sites it seems, safari just decides.
    I'm not going to load the link you just clicked on :P
    The site address changes, a small portion of the progress bar turns blue and nothing. It just freezes.
    Nothing I've tried (clearing all caches etc) makes any difference, except a reset. Quite annoying.
    I had no such issues on my iPad 2.
    This issue doesnt appear to be limited to safari though. I've had problems with lovefilm and my speed test app as well so I'm guessing its a general wifi problem.
    After safari froze I decided to check the speed of my connection. It didn't come back with a ping, I waited 10 mins still nothing.
    At the same time my iPhone (4s) with the same app came back with a ping of  30ms and d/l speed of 15MB/s.
    I'm now confused as to whether this is a software or hardware issue.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Swingflaps-
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

    Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.
