how can i recognize if my ipad 2 wifi is Older version or Newer version?
I was trying to figure that out to. I cant really figure that out either. I was guessing it has to do with the day it was made?

iTunes said it is not a compatible firmware version.
It seems the GSM and CDMA IPSW files are swapped.

i have a iphone 3g withe version 4.2.1 w/firmware 05.15.04 how do i unlock and use with tmobile
why are none of my ipsw files not being recognized?? i have used multliple ipsws for ipad 2 wifi and i want to downgrade to 4.3.3 using redsnow.
You can’t downgrade from 4.3.5 to 4.3.3 unless you have SHSH blobs saved.
Why oh why can’t Apple give us links to these themselves on their website? iTunes becomes ‘unresponsive’ so Windows 7 shuts it down in the middle of downloads. Thanks Apple for being overly difficult with your ‘it justs works’ mentality.
I agree that apple does not officially provide these links for the obvious reason of people screwing up.
But you can take heart in the fact that these download links point to the apple server.
Hey.
If u can’t change .zip files to .ipsw, (Windows!) make sure you’ve got “hide file extensions for known file types” set OFF in folderoptions.. then just rename to .ipsw
Have a good one!
I successfully renamed the .zip files to .ipsw following your suggestion and the files are on my desktop. How do I get them to the iPad2? What’s the next step? Thanks in advance!
on windows connect ur idevice to the comp then open itunes hold shift key and click check for update/update browse to where it is downloaded then it will be installed on your i device
Please disregard my previous question. Initially, when I double-clicked the file on my desktop, iTunes was opened but nothing happened. Afterwards, I verified I’m using the most up-to-date version of the program. Eventually, it dawned on me to temporarily disable my anti-virus software, as it usually requires me to take an action each time I connect the iPod to the computer. After taking this step, I was actually able to successfully update the iPad from iTunes itself and then turn back on the anti-virus software.
Error message prompts “Unable to recognize specified IPSW”. Message appears for all downloaded ipad 2 ipsw files in this website. what seems to be the problem here? thank you very much.

Because it will not work…..Use Safari 5 to download IPSW files. Windows has a problem with this and will download as a zip….Safari will not do this….it will be an IPSW file

what improvements does the iPad firmware provide? My biggest pain point with the iPad is the flaky wireless connection.
