iOS5.1.0 UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
BELTON ISD
These instructions are made for Belton ISD teachers
and staff to update iPads and computers to iOS5.
If you sync with your home machine, you may update there. The best solution is
for you to update to iOS5 with the computer you sync the device with.
Depending on the number of devices, apps, data and photos you have, this
process will vary in length from 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Make sure you
have the time to sit through this. You will want to be nearby as the update
progresses.
1. INSTALL iTUNES 10.5
If you sync with school Dell computer, please remember that you have
Kaspersky antivirus software loaded. Go to the red and black K on the bottomright of your taskbar. Right-click and
choose EXIT.
Go to www.apple.com/iTunes
Download and install the latest version
of iTunes (10.5)
• Uncheck the EMAIL ME
NEW box on iTunes.
• Uncheck the KEM ME UP TO DATE box.
• Don’t fill in an email address.
• Click DOWNLOAD NOW.
• Click RUN when prompted after
the download.
• Click NEXT.
• Uncheck AUTOMATICALLY
UPDATE ITUNES AND OTHER
APPLE SOFTWARE.
• Click INSTALL
This process takes about 10 minutes.
After iTunes is installed, gather your devices for the next part. Restart your
computer.
2. TRANSFER YOUR PURCHASES
In order to make sure you have all your apps backed up on your computer, you’ll
need to complete this step.
Plug in an iDevice (iPad,
iPod, iPhone)
IMPORTANT: If it gives
you the message that you
need to update the device,
click CANCEL. You’ll
update later.
In iTunes, go to FILE and
choose TRANSFER
PURCHASES FROM
(NAME OF YOUR
DEVICE).
If you have never synced
to the computer, you’ll see
this message. Click AUTHORIZE, then OK. You are allowed to authorize 5
computers, so choose wisely!
You’ll have to log in to iTunes to complete this step if you have not already done
so.
You’ll see the apps you have not synced coming over. If you have your devices
set to auto-sync, you may not have much transfer to the computer at this stage.
If you have never synced to this computer before, it will take a while depending
on the amount of apps you have.
NOTE: If you have multiple iTunes accounts on your device, you’ll need to go to
the iTunes Store, click on STORE, click on AUTHORIZE THIS COMPUTER.
Sign in as your other account and then transfer purchases again.
Turn on AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS for this computer and choose NOT NOW.
3. BACK UP YOUR FILES—Keep your device plugged into the
computer for this.
If you have created any work on your iPad, you’ll want to save it before updating.
You can do this two ways.
a. Email any important files to yourself. Each application on the device gives
you the option to email. You may also email pictures or save them in an
online library such as Picasa.
b. Use iTunes to back up and save large amounts of files. To do this, follow
these steps:
1) On the iPad, go to an app where you have saved files, such as
Pages.
2) Click on the WRENCH.
3) Choose SHARE AND PRINT.
4) Choose the option to SEND TO ITUNES. Depending on the file,
you may be able to save it in multiple formats (Word, PDF, Pages,
etc.).
5) Repeat as often as necessary to save your important files.
6) On your computer, go to iTunes. Log in if you have not.
7) Click on the NAME OF YOUR DEVICE on the left side of the
iTunes window.
8) Click on the APPS tab at the top of the page.
9) Scroll down and select an app where you know you have files. (In
the example below, Carl chose AudioNote to see what files were on
his iPad in that App.
10) Highlight all the files you want to save (hold down SHIFT and select
them).
11) Click SAVE TO and choose where you would like to save the files
on your computer or home folder.
4. BACKING UP YOUR PHOTOS
Unless you have set your device to Auto-Sync, you should back up the photos
you want to save from your device.
ON A PC
Click on MY COMPUTER.
Find the your device in iTunes on the left column of iTunes.
Double-click on the name of your device.
You will see a list of all your photos and
videos in the camera roll of the device.
Select the ones you want to save.
Drag and drop them into a folder on your
computer.
NOTE: You can select multiple files at once by clicking on the first one, and then
holding down shift and clicking on the last one. You can also choose specific
pictures by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the ones you want to save.
On a MAC
Open iPHOTO.
Choose IMPORT.
Drag pictures to a folder in MY PHOTOS inside of MY DOCUMENTS.
OTHER ITEMS TO CHECK:
NOTES—These are usually synced with an email account; however, so me are
set to stay on the device. You can check by going to NOTES and clicking on
ACCOUNTS. If you have any that say ON THIS DEVICE, then you need to email
then to yourself to guarantee they are backed up.
PASSWORDS—Make sure you take note of your passwords for any apps that
require a password as you might be required to log back in after the update.
5. ENCRYPT A BACKUP
As a final step, you will encrypt a backup via iTunes.
1) Connect your device if you have disconnected it.
2) Click on the device name in iTunes.
3) Click on SUMMARY at the top if it is not chosen.
4) Scroll down to see OPTIONS.
5) Check the OPTION box that says ENCRYPT BACKUP. (If you
don’t see that option, click SYNC.
6) CREATE A PASSWORD FOR THE BACKUP FILE.
7) Your encrypted backup file will be created. This takes up to a few
minutes depending on what you have on the iPad. You may be asked to HELP APPLE IMPROVE. You may choose to participate
or say NO THANKS.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BACKED UP!
UPDATE
Before you get started on this section, make sure your device has at least 30%
battery life so that it can complete the process. Depending on the amount of
photos and apps and the speed of your computer, this could take over an hour.
Click on AGREE. Your device may turn off and on a couple of times during this process. You will
get a message telling you that the iPad has been restored to factory settings and
it will disappear from the list.
You will then be prompted for your encrypted password that you set up during
the backup stage. Enter your password and your device will begin to be restored
from the backup.
