pattricia 574 #1 Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) My iPad has always updated automatically after I have clicked on to give it permission. However it keeps leaving me a message saying “ You iPad cannot be updated because it was not connected to any power” Does this mean that I have to keep it plugged in all the time .? “ I have done this but it still keeps leaving me this message . What does it mean ? Edited September 12, 2019 by Ghozer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

alchresearch 209 #6 Posted September 12, 2019 Mine had the update on Tuesday but warned me that battery was below 50% so wouldn't continue. I just plugged it in and next morning it was all charged and updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What does it mean ? Not sure if this is relevant to your problem but if your device is an iPad 4 or older (like mine), it won't update beyond iOS 10.3.3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pattricia 574 #9 Posted September 12, 2019 I’ve solved the problem ! The iPad kept telling me that it couldn’t put the update on because I wasn’t connected to any power. I kept charging my iPad up to fully charged ,then disconnecting it, and trying the update. This did not work, but what DID work was when I plugged the iPad in to power, and clicked on the update while it was still plugged in.! This is very strange and has never happened before. Wonder why it did this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
