I am trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 5.01 but I often receive an “Error 1631: iTunes was unable to search for updates for the network operator settings for your iPad. ” I searched online and found a solution which is to enable Data Roaming and Cellular Data on the Settings of my iPad which I instantly followed but still get the same message.
What should I do now?
If you need to update your iPad to the latest supported iOS version for your device using iTunes, as always, you need to update iTunes to the latest if you encounter problems. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install. Once installed, start Revo then select iTunes among the applications and click “Uninstall.” Follow the normal uninstall process.
When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, exit Revo then download the latest iTunes for Windows on TechSpot. It supports Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10. Windows Vista is not included.
If the problem continues, connect your iPad to a Wi-Fi network and from there you can check for an update on your iPad. Checking for updates is much faster on a Wi-Fi network than when using cellular data connection.
