You’ll need an internet connection, sufficient storage, and a compatible device in order to upgrade your iPhone or iPad.

In the event that your device’s software cannot find enough space to download and install an update, it will attempt to create some.

You can update your gadget with your computer if it still doesn’t have enough capacity.

If you are unable to connect your device to your computer, you can free up space on your device by uninstalling unnecessary programs and files.

To upgrade your gadget, you must have an internet connection.

One of the following messages could appear if you attempt to upgrade your device:

  • It’s possible that the progress meter is moving slowly when you install the update.
  • Maintain a power connection to your device while updating over the air.

In the event that you require older versions of the programs, there is one more thing you can attempt.

You can install the most recent software or apps on a more modern iOS device if you own one that can run iOS 12 or iOS/iPadOS 13 and later.

Let’s get started on what to do with an outdated iPad.

  • An old iPad’s camera is one of its most valuable features. You can mount your old iPad to your dashboard and monitor traffic while driving if you’d like to use it for something else.
  • An old iPad can serve as a camera in your home if it can be used as a dashboard camera for your vehicle.
  • With Apple’s SideCAR, you may use your iPad as a second screen when using a Mac running iPadOS 13 or later.
  • An old iPad can be converted to a SMART HOME CONTROLLER, increasing the comfort level in your house.
  • In the kitchen, an iPad? Naturally, we don’t intend for you to use it as a cutting board. An outdated iPad can be repurposed to serve as your culinary companion, displaying new recipe books to you.
  • You might not have thought of turning an old iPad into a digital photo frame.
  • With so many games available on the iPad, kids can amuse themselves with an iPad you won’t need in the future.
  • Making your old iPad into a stylish nightstand alarm clock is a great way to give it new life.
  • The wisest course of action is to TRADE IT FOR A NEW OR REFURBISHED IPAD if you are unable to find a use for your old iPad or if you are not convinced by our arguments.

The next topic is how to fix an iPad that won’t work.

  • You can reset your device using a computer if you are unable to follow these instructions.
  • Only if you have already enabled Find My on your device and have an active cellular or Wi-Fi connection can you access the "Security Lockout" screen.
