I know I can go to the App store and attempt to get all kinds of apps for it, but I have to try to install each desired app one by one, in order to receive the same error message over and over again stating that that the app is not compatible with iOS 5.1.1 along with useless advice to "update my iPod" (which of course can't be updated past iOS 5.1.1). But I believe there still may be some apps that ARE still compatible with iOS 5.1.1. If so, how do I make the App Store show me only those apps? Question: Q: iPad won't update past iOS 9.3.5.

HI Carolyn it's a gen 1 and I guess I am stuck at that, is ere anything else I can do? Apr 9, 2017 5:40 PM. Click here and look it up. Apr 9, 2017 5:31 PM. I am curious about that list, I have an iPad 4th Gen, but I cannot update past iOS 9.3.5 . at least iTunes tells me that 9.3.5 is the latest. On the iPad device itself, it says it has downloaded iOS 10.2.1, but it won't install either, let alone the current iOS 10.3.2 . did Apple make a mistake including iPad 4th Gen in the list for iOS 10 or possibly remove the update support after the initial announcement?

Jun 10, 2017 4:27 PM. Does your iPad use the larger 30 pin or the newer, smaller connector? Jun 10, 2017 6:00 PM. It is the small lightning connector . same as the connector used on iPhone 6 and 7, etc., so it is not the older iPad 3, rather I have the iPad Gen 4. Jun 10, 2017 6:08 PM. If you have a computer with the latest iTunes, you can try upgrading your iPad 4 connected to computer over iTunes. Jun 10, 2017 6:14 PM. Thanks, but as I mentioned in my post, when connected to iTunes, it reports that "9.3.5 is the current version", and it won't proceed further. Jun 10, 2017 6:24 PM. Make sure you don't have the iOS 10 upgrade listed in your update on your iPad. Go into the Settings App, General Settings panel. In the right hand column, tap Storage and iCloud Usage. At the top in the first block of 3 panels where it is titled at the top of this block Storage, tap the panel that says Manage Storage. A list of every app will generate itself. Once this list stops generating, look through this list until you see something like iOS 10.x.x in this list. Tap on the arrow at the far right on that iOS 10.x.x panel. It will bring you to another screen that will allowing you to completely delete/remove the entire iOS upgrade/update. Then, try the iTunes method, again! Jun 10, 2017 6:50 PM. Before my original posting, I had looked for an apparent 10.2.1 update download to delete it, but it was not displaying on the list . at least near the top of the memory use list as most iOS updates normally would. I finally found it not near the bottom of the APP memory list, about 100mb or so in size . it must have been a partial download that became corrupted somehow. Once deleted, the 10.3.2 update proceeded normally. I had understood that 10.2.1 was no longer signed by Apple to install, but the error message generated when attempting to install 10.2.1 was a rather unhelpful "cannot connect to network . try again later" rather than "would you like to download the latest version?" It also seems odd that iTunes did not see this issue and simply reported that 9.3.5 was "current" with no further options or warnings. Once 10.3.2 was installed via the iPad, reconnecting to iTunes then correctly reported 10.3.2 as being "current" Thanks for your support! Jun 10, 2017 9:47 PM. I'm glad you asked, I have the same problem, hope someone can help. So I own an iPad mini 2 that is currently functioning on iOS 9.3.5. On your list, it is clearly written that the iPad mini 2 can be updated to iOS 10. Could you maybe help? Maybe I should show up at the and wait 6Hours in waiting for the manager to text me so I can finally discuss my problem. What at should I do? I tried everything to make go past iOS 9.3.5:( Jun 17, 2017 6:46 AM. If you're having the same problem that I was, your iPad may have downloaded an older version of iOS 10.x that is no longer supported, and if it's still in memory, it will confuse iTunes, and at the same time prevent download of the current version of iOS 10.x. Look under the Settings / General /Storage & iCloud Usage / Manage Storage menu and sub menus on your iPad. Look through the list of Apps and their memory usage; if any of those are an iOS update file earlier than 10.3.2, then delete it and try again. You may need to power down your iPad and turn it back on if you are still having difficulty and try again. Good luck! Question: Q: My iPad is on IOS 9.3.5 and says the software is up to date.

As the world continued to cope with the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, the second quarter of 2020 became the largest yet for mobile app downloads, usage and consumer spending. According to new data from app store intelligence firm App Annie, mobile app usage grew 40% year- over-year in the second quarter of 2020, even hitting an all-time high of over 200 billion hours during April. Consumer spending in apps, meanwhile, hit a record high of $27 billion in the second quarter. And app downloads reached a high of nearly 35 billion. The growth in app usage has been fueled by social distancing and lockdown measures, as countries around the world try to quell the spread of the novel coronavirus. Image Credits: App Annie. In India, for example, time spent in apps grew 35% in Q2 2020 from Q4 2019. Italy and Indonesia saw growth of 30% and 25%, respectively. In the U.S., time spent in apps grew 15%. App Annie says now the average user is spending 4 hours and 20 minutes per day on their . Image Credits: App Annie. But consumers aren’t just launching apps they already have installed on their phones — they’re also downloading new ones. In the second quarter, consumers downloaded nearly 35 billion new apps, an all-time high. Google Play accounted for 25 billion of those downloads, representing 10% year-over-year growth. India and Brazil were the the two largest markets for Google Play in the quarter. Image Credits: App Annie. iOS downloads grew 20% year-over-year to reach nearly 10 billion. The U.S. and China were iOS’s biggest markets for downloads, but the U.S. and Saudi Arabia saw the most quarter-over-quarter growth. The latter was likely attributed to a nationwide lockdown and school closures, driving app downloads in the country to a all-time high in April and 100% year-over-year growth on iOS. Games were downloaded at record levels in the quarter, App Annie noted, totaling 14 billion games. In the first week of Q2, weekly downloads broke records at over 1.2 billion, and weekly download levels remained at 1 billion on average throughout the quarter, up 20% year- over-year. Image Credits: App Annie. Non-gaming apps represented over half (55%) of the new downloads on Android and 70% of those on iOS. More specifically, top categories outside of games included “Tools” and “Entertainment” on Google Play and “Photo and Video” and “Entertainment” on iOS. But other categories saw strong growth, including “Business,” “ & ” and “Education,” which saw quarter- over-quarter growth in downloads of 115%, 75% and 50% respectively on Google Play. On iOS, “Health and Fitness,” “Shopping” and “Medical” apps saw strong quarter-over-quarter growth of 30%, 25% and 20%, meanwhile. With record downloads and usage, consumer spending also grew significantly as a result, particularly among streaming video services. Image Credits: App Annie. In the second quarter, consumers spent a record $27 billion in apps, up 15% year-over-year to $17 billion on iOS and up 25% to $10 billion on Android. Games accounted for $19 billion of the spend, up 15% quarter-over-quarter. Google Play saw sizable growth at 25% quarter-over-quarter, which was 2x the growth rate on iOS. Image Credits: App Annie. Non-gaming apps were 35% of the spend on iOS. The U.S. and China the largest contributors in both games and non-game apps on iOS in the quarter. However, the U.S. notably took back the top position as the largest market for consumer games — a spot previously held by China — with 30% quarter-over-quarter growth in Q2. Non-games were 15% of the spend on Google Play. The U.S., Japan, and South Korea were the largest markets in both non-games and games alike on Google Play. Top Google Play categories in addition to “Games” included “Social” and “Entertainment.” Growth in the “Entertainment” category was driven largely by Disney+ and Twitch, App Annie noted. On iOS, “Entertainment” and “Photo and Video” were the largest categories by consumer spend, in addition to “Games.” Here, TikTok drove growth for the “Photo and Video” category, becoming the No. 1 top-grossing app on iOS App Store globally in Q2 2020 thanks to sales of virtual gifts used to tip streamers. Image Credits: App Annie. While much of the activity taking place on mobile devices during the pandemic is related to having fun — like watching videos or playing games, for example — several of the top apps in the quarter were work-related. Zoom, for instance, became the No. 2 of most downloaded app globally in Q2 2020. Google Meet was No. 7.
