My PC has been out of comission for a while now and I've just been using my iPad as my only computer.I would like to upgrade my iOS, since I heard that the recent update fixes the wifi issues. I'm wondering if there's a way to upgrade to the new iOS on someone else's computer without losing my music or documents, and without syncing that person's music to my iPad.
View 5 RepliesI recently was attempting to update my ipad's software, using my windows PC(XP,) and during the process, I believe my IP service may have been interrupted, and the process stalled or stopped. Since then, I haven't been able to re-establish a connection between my iPad and iTunes, despite several attempts by various means that I've seen written about here and elsewhere.
The device powers on, and has the wire to iTunes logo on the front, but if I connect it to my PC, it doesn't recognize the device, even though it was registered on iTunes on my deslktop. The device manager recognizes it, but not iTunes.
I'm locked out of using my device, and I did not interrupt the update myself. I can only speculate what happened, given the message I got, which was something to the effect of "update interrupted."
Unfortunately, I did not copy a screen shot of the error, but I'm close to what it said.

Picked up my WiFi Ipad on Saturday and have been pleased so far. Tried to turn it on after work today and no response. Plugged it in and no response. Tried to sync it and no response. Then I tried various fixes from the manual and eventually brought it back to life with a reset (home and power switch held down).

I have the NOOK reading app installed on my iPad device. The problem is that the app is not displaying the most recent items when i tap on the sort option denoted as ‘Most Recent. Why is it so?
View 1 RepliesAfter downloading updates to many apps (almost one every other day or so) iTunes will not allow the iPad to update them stating that the OS is not the required recent version. What a waste of time and why are we still waiting for an update as it feels like I've had my iPad for ever! Just like the iPhone had to wait for years for updates to give it functions that most phones have had since Adam, it seems to me that we are being short changed by Apple. This will be especially true if the rumours are true of having to pay for iOS4 on the iPad! Apple, should pull its finger out and stop moving from one project to another before leaving the first in a satisfactory state! Or is a name change coming - Applesoft?!

View 2 RepliesAfter a recent update, my iPad 4 is constantly popping up a message "Sign in to ICloud"...I don't want to do that, but when I hit Cancel the message continues to pop up and now I cannot even use my iPad...my dad is having the same problem on his iPhone 4S.

Well this is not the news I wanted to read: it seems Hulu isn't a fan of HTML5 after all and has no current plans for an iPad app. This is contradictory to the recent rumors and also to the recent HTML5 plans of other media outlets like CBS.
So I'm wondering if Adobe had a little talk with Hulu. Hulu is a joint venture between FOX, NBC and ABC. ABC, of course is owned by Disney, whose largest shareholder is Steve Jobs. Fox is owned by Newscorp, which owns the WSJ, and does use HTML5 in it's iPad App. So I don't know how Adobe won't that "battle." Interesting if disappointing.
I upgraded my iPad to iOS 5.1.1 last night. Ever since then, it keeps losing the wifi connection. My laptop, ipod and iphone are not losing any connectivity with the wifi, nor has this been a problem with the iPad prior to upgrading the iOS.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere yet, too lazy to search today, but now when you view an app in the app store in one of the top app lists it no longer resets you back to the top 10 when you go back to the list you were in. Wow that's one long sentence. Hope that was clear...those that noticed the annoyance before know what I'm speaking of.
View 1 RepliesCNN article regarding workarounds for Wi-Fi issues. Maybe helpful for some of those experiencing problems.
View 4 Replieswhen i'm syncing my ipad - the first thing it does is try to backup the ipad. It will run for a while and the BCOD appears. happens everytime. I bought and ran a registry cleaner because I read somewhere the 96% of problems are caused by the registry. I'm in the 4% group. Loaded itunes 10 - same result. If I restore the ipad to factory defaults - it works first time. next attempt then fails..I tried different usb ports - same result, have a usb card on order with a VIA chipset set as I read this helps. what else can I do short of returning the ipad. The ipad is a 65gb wi-fi only.

Other than a prospective update of course 57x57 icons are very limiting.
View 2 RepliesLove my wifi, but I may want 3G. Yes, I could have waited, but honestly, even if I waited I likely would have gotten wifi. It was only after using the iPad so much that made me even think about 3G.That said, is Apple letting people pay the difference? Is anyone selling their wifi to get a 3G?
View 6 RepliesRight now I only have an iPad 2 with WiFi only, and no 3G, and was curious if it is possible to upgrade so it has 3G capabilities.
View 9 RepliesI own an iPad 2 wifi with ios 5.0.1. I was waiting for jailbreak of new versions and on ios 5.1.1 now when JB is successful i am not even unable to either Restore or update to the new ios. Every time i try to do so i got an error message.
View 9 RepliesNot sure if it's dealt with on any of other threads here:I'm upgrading to a 3G later this week when it arrives by courier. Question is: How do I move all my apps to the new device? Is this possible or will I have to buy all the apps again? What about the files currently stored on the wifi iPad?
View 3 RepliesI was upgrading to 8.1.1. on Ipad3 and now the apple is sitting in the middle of the black screen with a white bar almost completed it will not do anything, shut off, restart, etc., so I plugged it in and set it next to my WIFI router. What do I do it appears dead ? Take it in for service, its only been about and hour and a bit for upgrading. I am new to the Ipad and don't know the buttons very well to try a restart but I tried shutting it off and on nothing and then tried the sleep wake button nothing, do I hold them both down together or just leave it until tomorrow morning to see if it finishes upgrading?

I have an iPad Air (purchased in October 2013) and during the 7.1.2 update, the download froze for about an hour. (***or installation, see last line.) I believe the wi-fi source it was downloading from just shut down (it does that sometimes) but I'm actually not sure what caused the frozen screen.
After waiting about an hour, I tried to turn the iPad off - failed, it wouldn't turn off. So I rebooted it. Now it thinks it has 7.1.2 but I don't believe it does, since it was only halfway through loading the update when the screen/iPad froze.
So I turned it off. It still says it has the latest software update. So far, no obvious glitches in how its working, but maybe whatever bugs or glitches this could cause won't show up until later. Sigh.
Is there any way to undo its perception of having the 7.1.2 update and then reload that update? Actually I'm not entirely certain if it frozen halfway through downloading the update OR installing the update. I walked away for a moment. The picture was: A black screen, a white apple logo and a solid line stuck about halfway through doing what it should do (midway under the apple.)
