FRUSTRATING!!!
 

I don't know about you guys but I'm having the MOST DIFFICULT time trying to update my iOS on my iPad2.

Everytime I try to update it gives me same message and I believe I've done everything I can do try and resolve the issue but it won't work.

I keeep getting the stupid message:

"iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup could not be saved on the computer"

I've dones all of the following listed below and nothing seems to work:

1) Disabled ALL security software on my computer
2) Updated iTunes to the latest version on Apple's website.
3) Uninstalled iTunes to instasll the latest version
4) Deleted ALL previous backups in iTunes
5) Checked system time and date and zone
6) Running iTunes as an ADMINSTRATOR on Vista

I simply just want to update my iOS on my iPad2 to the latest OS. Is that it damn difficult?!?!?! Heck I don't even give a crap about backing up, I just want to update the OS.

Does anything know what else I can try? Or is anyone having the same issue? I've GOOGLED the heck out of this topic but it seems like I can't get anywhere with it.

^ try putting ipad into recovery mode, then connect to itunes and restore.

iTunes on Windows is Apple's way of telling you "fuck you, buy a Mac".

try disabling user account control, running itunes as if it was win xp sp2 and/or running program as admin..

I know I am late to the whole Ipad thing but I never saw any need for it till I started to really play games on my iphone lol.

Decided to get the ipad2 for the bigger screen. Any games or apps worth getting.... I mostly play poker and some racing games atm but anything good I wouldn't mind trying

theres this demo pirate ship game that is pretty sweet (cant remember the name steam pirates?) and i bought GTA chinatown (if you like the classic GTA from back in the day you'll like this)

but i never play em since its my moms ipad so i dont know how long lasting the fun is (just got em to see what gamings like on it)

too bad here in portland, freddy meyer was selling ipad 2s for 450 plus 10% off...

asphalt 2 is a nice racing game

Infinity Blade 2

So I heard on news1130 that apple will unveil the iPad 3 sometime next month.

And they're planning to drop the prices for iPad 2 to compete with the kindle.

I can't see apple dropping to price of the iPad2 to compete with the kindle to be honest. I can see them releasing something like the kindle but no way would they drop it to be around the same price.

ipad3 already?....ive only had the ipad2 for half a year... :okay:


on a different note, anyone got modern combat 3? perhaps a group game.

They'll probably do like last time where the existing iPad goes on sale before the new one comes out. Apple has always sold the previous iPhone (as a cheaper alternative) along with the new iPhone, but they've never sold both iPads (except for a short transition period from old to new). I don't see them changing.

Well, you could have been someone who bought a Tegra 2 ASUS Transformer a couple months back only to have the Tegra 3 powered Transformer Prime get released. ;)

anyone using their ipad for school? i use the NotesPlus app and so far its been pretty good. but too bad it doesnt come with a pdf reader.

^^^ iBook will store and read pdf files. You just need to use iTunes to import the pdf's.

^ You don't need to use iTunes. If you click on a PDF file link in a webpage it will open directly for viewing. At the very top you'll see a button "Open in iBooks". If you select this, the PDF will be saved to your phone and will appear in iBooks under PDF's.

^^^ Yes, you're right....totally forgot about that.

any news on the jb for ios 5?

thanks for that and for senna...i'm travelling this week and dont want to have to bring a laptop...just my ipad...

edit: figured it out

Hey quick question, If I buy a ipad2 32g wifi /3g in the states will it be locked . and how easy is it to get unlocked for 3g.

iPad's are not locked, just make sure you don't buy a Verizon version.
