Hi,
I have an ipad 2, but increasingly, any apps demand ios5 of later to run them. Mine doesn't seem to have that version (am struggling to find what it does have as it doesn't seem to show on settings).
I've been doing some googling and it seems I can download ios - I think it'd now be version 6 - but I'm really unsure as to how to do it, so would welcome any pointers please! From what I read, it looks as though I need to synch with a laptop/pc/whatever - when I originally bought the ipad, I downloaded itunes to a notebook and synched it from that. DO I have to use the same notebook or will it work if I download the latest itunes to another device and synch from there?
I read something about doing a back-up - how do I do this? I know it must be very basic - I frequently back up my pc and laptop to an external drive, but am wondering (assuming!) that all things Apple are different. So - if not to an external hard drive, then how? And if I can back up to one, does it need to be a different one from the one I use for a pc? I'm thinking the answer is yes.....
I haven't got very much I need to back up, but there are some photos and also my settings. I'm sure it's all very easy - I just don't know how to go about any of it
