[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1743998, member: 305741"] I have an elderly iPad 4G and, since I no longer use it much, it has largely sat unused except for internet access when I travel. I no longer have a sim card in the iPad as I do not much use it and, when I travel, I use my Verizon hot spot to connect the iPad or my MacBook Pro to the internet. I recently purchased a new pair of headphones and decided to install the headphone software on the iPad but was told that I needed to update the OS to at least version (9) - I am currently on 5.1 (as I said, I hardly ever use the iPad). When I attempted to update the iPad I was told I could not because "you are no longer connected to the internet". Well, of course I am as I can browse online to my hearts content with the wifi access I have. Cellular data is turned off on the iPad since I no longer have a sim card in the device but turning it on does not change my inability to update the OS. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? Surely there must be some way to actually update the OS on the iPad. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
