iPad Mini update problems

Hi I have an iPad Mini 2 I think (16 GB), I work at sea and I rarely have a chance to update the iOS as often as I should so I'm probably an update or two old.

I tried to update my iPad today, but towards the end of the update, I get the message "this device is not eligible for the requested build". I tried to hold the home button and sleep as suggested on other posts and this message would always come to the top. After doing more research I now believe her because my iTunes is up to date, but to upgrade to the current version, I also need to update the OS on my MacBook. (I'm currently under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I need atleast 10.8.5 for the last update of iTunes). Personally I don't think that my mac can even handle this OS because it is about 10 years.

Is there a way I can return to the iPad manual update of the device itself, rather than through my laptop? I know to update the MacBook would be the logical way, but I can't justify spending money update my OS on something this old when I buy a new laptop in a few months. If there are no other alternatives that you guys know too I highly appreciate it that my iPad is very important to me, especially now that I'm on my vacation.

p.s. I restore the iPad before you perform the update of iOS and I have another just as old MacBook Pro if none of these factors help in any way.

Thanks in advance.

GEZ.

You can update the iOS live

  • iPad Mini storage problem

    On my iPad Mini, (first generation) under settings > general > storage & use iCloud > storage

    It shows that I used 11.7 GB and available 723 MB.  If I check the option of storage management, the

    total storage used by applications is total less than 1 GB.

    When I sync my iPad Mini with my Macbook (backup) synchronization page shows that the iPad has

    Used 738 MB and 11.3 GB available.  (which is more in line with the storage / app list).

    So why the difference between the used displayed rise up on the iPad and the actual amount of used storage?

    Making a full backup and closing, remains the "error".  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  • IPad after update, problems with applications

    After the Ipad update to 9.1.2, we have a problem, whenever we are entering an App, emails, photos, etc., we lose the connection with the application. We will and simply press a button, then let's just out of the app again. We are unable to read the email, see photo etc. Anyone has a solution for this.

    Hello abcglad,

    If I understand correctly, you are able to open your apps, but what you do in them makes it insensitive so you press the Home button to exit the application, and then go back into it to make it work. This looks like a software issue to me, we should be able to solve. I would start by quit all applications running on your iPad. Normally, simply quit the application affected, but in this case because it seems to be all of them, I'd leave all.

    Force an app to close the iOS

    1. press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
    2. slide to the left to find the application you want to close.
    3. push upward on the overview of the application to close.

    When you have finished that force the iPad to restart with the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons as described in the following article and the question again:

  • I can not connect my iPhone and my iPad mini after ios10

    Hey guys,.

    so I upgraded my iPhone 5s as well as my mini iPad 2 to iOS10 today. I couldn't find any problem on my devices to date. Everything seems to be ok. But now I wanted to sync new music from my iMac to the iPhone but the connection of the usb cable, iTunes gives me an error message. My system works in German, so I can only give you a translation of the error message that might not be how it reads in English. The message says something like: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because there is an invalid response".

    The same error message when I connect my iPad mini update. My guess is that my iTunes version is not compatible with iOS10. I'm still on an old iMac with OSX 10.7 since 2006. The latest version of iTunes that I can install is 12.2.2.25. When I try to download a newer version of the apple download page, the browser will automatically return to 12.2.2. and wants to download this version. Is there no work around or there at - he become a compatible version of iTunes? Does anyone have the same problem and it can confirm that it has to do with iTunes?

    Because you can't run the latest version of iTunes on a Mac running v10.7 Lion (very outdated OS X) see if your Mac can pass to El Capitan > update of OS X El Capitan

    In this way, you would be able to run iTunes 12.5.1then update your iOS 10 devices.

  • update to 9.3.5 iPad mini

    iOS users have recently been warned to proceed with an upgrade to iOS 9.3.5 due to a security problem.

    Our iPad Mini is actually run 9.3.4

    but when we try to update via the "Général" menu, it is looking for an update constantly.

    We tried several times waiting for that, as long as 20 minutes, but with the same result.

    Update on an iPod Touch is made easily.

    There are no these updates on the App store.

    Is this update only for iPhones, or for all iOS devices?

    Thnx

    I don't know that it's for all iOS devices. Try to restart the device by simultaneously holding the power button and the "home" button. Keep the keep until it restarts. Release the buttons and restart the verification of updates when you're ready.

  • A new iPad 9.7 Pro update of and iPad Mini

    I have an old iPad Mini (Mini) and a new, an iPad 9.7 Pro (Pro).  I have 185 pdf books, manuals, etc. on the Mini and I'm trying to update the Pro.  In the last two weeks, I spent more than 4 hours with the support of Apple on the phone without success.  The first fight lasted about two hours, and it appeared that the Pro has been updated correctly.  A week later, when I went to get a pdf that I thought had been transferred, I was unable to find it.  That's when I discovered that only 74 of the 185 had been transferred properly.

    The basic approach was the Mini to iTunes backup, and then restore it this backup on the Pro.  It obviously doesn't work.  I then called Apple Support again and we have gone through basically the same process.  The Mini to iTunes backup and then restore this backup on the Pro.  All 185 pdfs have been backed up properly on my desktop (Win 8.1), but when this backup has been restored to the Pro, only 74 of the 185 came.  Apple support person and I never got it works.  So now I have to find those who have not been restored and restore each of them individually - 111 pdf files.

    This situation is TOTALLY unacceptable.  A couple of years ago, when I bought a new desktop computer, it was a simple matter to move the 'old' stuff on the new computer using a simple transfer program running on the machines and an easy transfer cable special to connect the two computers.  Why I can't get the transfer to work using own Apple programs, I don't know.

    Most of my opinions on Apple and their stuff of so-called "user friendly" is printable and really unable to repeat in polite society.

    I hope someone reading this can enlighten us on one solution to this problem, other than what seems to be the only solution so far.  Find the missing PDF files and get them on my Pro will take a lot of time.  Time, I'd rather spend pursuing my hobby - photography.  Not only that, even though I am retired, I still have many things to do instead of my photography.

    Both devices work with Airdrop?

    If so, why not drop the PDF from the Mini to the Pro - one at a time, but the process is very fast.

  • iPad Mini / iOS iPhone 6 9.2.1 stuck on the logo Apple - Exchange problem?

    Yesterday, my iPhone 6 and my iPad Mini randomly froze, containing just the Apple logo. I can only imagine that some sort of automatic update has happened that I was not aware of--probably iOS 9.2.1. I could not turn on the unit and hard reset did not work. I was unable to restore the device using iTunes. I took them to my local "Genius Bar" and both devices have been restored to factory default.

    When I returned home, I tried to restore to the last backup via iTunes devices and restoring the iPhone does not.

    I have reset the new iPad to factory default and added my email Exchange and Google accounts. I also added back Magic Puzzles and Flipboard. The iPad has worked for awhile, but sometimes at night it froze on the Apple logo and began to beep (which woke me up).

    This morning, I reset the new iPad to factory default and added my Google email account. It worked without problem. I added my Exchange account and the mail application has worked for about a minute, then the iPad displays the Apple logo. I did not try this with my iPhone because I don't have the time to sit in the restaurant business, plus I need to use it as a phone.

    Is there a problem with the application mail, Exchange and iOS 9.2.1? I, like many others, rely on my iPhone and it is totally useless without my Exchange account for work.

    I would go to the support area of the developer, in this case > https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Outlook-for-iOS-and-Android-Help-Center - cd84214e-a5ac-4e95-9ea3-e07f78d0cde6? ui... and ask people who are familiar with using Outlook

  • 9 brick iOS update my iPad Mini

    I have an iPad Mini 1st generation 64 GB WiFi model, which is stuck in a boot loop. It worked very well with iOS 8.4.1 build 12: 321. I upgraded to iOS9.2 build 13 c 75, but many of my applications were not charged despite having used iTunes with a local backup/restore my MacBookPro (mid 2010 13 "El Capitan running). I then tried to restart the device and decided to do a complete restore of the system via iTunes. While I was doing my system recovery/restore when downloading the iOS that my connection from Time Warner Cable is out for me (as it has particular fact for a lot of people in my area at this time as ISP). My iPad is now stuck in a loop of starting up with the Apple logo showing and then it restarts. I get the iTunes error 4005 and have tried all the things listed on the support page for this error, but also to take it to my local Genius Bar. I am still convinced that this error is entirely software related and because of recent changes with how Apple sign their iOS IPSW to install the OS on their devices.

    Apple support, if you read this answer please with a time table for when you create a way for which authorized users can re-sign borked iOS devices and get them running again so they are not left with a brick or a $ $ "repair" which is actually a replacement $100. Also, feel free to send me an email if you want to discuss this issue separately. I understand that privacy and security are involved in it so I want to respect that you can and it will solve as needed even if it is in a public forum).

    Yet once again, I assure you that this error is by no fault of mine and am fairly certain that the problem lies in the iCloud of Apple and/or Apple authentication for devices processes. I can't be the only one dealing with this issue, and I would be interested to see if others on this community have similar problems. Please post here if you do, because I think that most messages will help Apple to understand how many people need a real resolution of this issue.

    Apple, this can only arise under a problem while iOS updates roll faster and the update is practically necessary. (I have an iPhone 6 and 3 both Mini iPad and I leave them on iOS 9.2 instead of iOS 9.2.1 hoping to find a solution to this particular problem). Update alerts come to me at least every day. I continue to say no, and you're getting pretty annoying. I would like to know that there is a little more stability in environments before upgrading.

    Apple support do not go to see this and to provide you with anything whatsoever. I have a Mini 16 GB iPad, who owns the iOS 9.2.1. The issue that caused your boot loop isn't the iOS, but internet disruption admitted that you had. What happened when you brought the device to your Genius Bar appointment? Apple has not any changes to the way they sign their updates to iOS, what would make you think that?

    To be honest, I don't expect the iPad Mini (1st generation) for more updates, but this is my opinion. While mine is a few problems with multitasking, I hope it's because the processor and the most recent iOS. There comes a point difficult to manipulate this need for the processor. If you haven't tried, you should put the device into Recovery Mode and to update. If you cannot update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • I've updated to the latest version of the software iOS overnight last night and now I can't access email on my iPad mini or Safari. When I go into the settings, click the software update that is displayed simply endless turns.

    I've updated to the latest version of the software iOS overnight last night and now I can't access email on my iPad mini or Safari. When I go into settings, a notice is displayed under the general rubric that there is 1 available software update, but when I click on the link for the software update, it runs just endlessly. I am not able to connect to the WiFi (nothing happens when I click on the WiFi button). Did not have this kind of problem before. Thanks for any idea.

    Hello

    Try a reboot press & hold the power button / stop & menu button

    Hold the two for up to 30 seconds until you see the apple logo.

    Then try update on your WiFi

  • Do not have mini 10 on iPad iOS update 2.

    Do not have updated iOS 10 on one of my mini iPad 2s. Both devices say they are up-to-date with 9.3.5. Is it expected that it would take this long to roll out for older devices?
