Additional Information

Ensure that your device is backed up to iCloud or back up with iTunes before updating.

Note: Some updates may require restoring the device. If this is necessary, iTunes will display an alert. Back up data before updating the device.

  • If you update using the Mac or PC with which you normally sync, all iTunes content will be synced automatically
    after updating and restoring from backup.
  • If you update using a Mac or PC you don't normally sync with, only the content that is stored in the backup will be restored back to the device. Review what is stored in
    a backup before updating. To preserve iTunes media (such as music, videos, and photos) apply the update using the computer with which you normally sync.
    Otherwise, you will need to sync with the machine you normally use to recover this media.

FAQs
  • Why do I get an error message when I click on the iBook link?
    This may mean that you need to update your operating system or your iBooks App. Please see Updating your iPad.

  • Why does it take so long to open the iBook link?
    It is standard for iBooks to take time to download due to embedded, interactive media which increase file size. A faster internet connection will allow for a quicker download time.

  • I already tried to click on the link and when I click on it again, why doesn’t anything happen?
    Try going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and > Clear Cookies and Data. Click on both buttons, and then retry the link.

  • I clicked the “Open in iBooks” button - why don’t I see anything happening?
    You will not see a status wheel or bar when you click on the iBooks button. It can take up to several minutes to open the iBook.
