    The 5.1.1 ipad3 GSM version did not work here.
    iTunes said it is not a compatible firmware version.
    It seems the GSM and CDMA IPSW files are swapped.

  14. Jose says:

    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.

  15. Dave says:

    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.

    • cool_kau says:

      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!

    • Mark says:

      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!

      • Devansh jain says:

        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

    • Mark says:

      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.

    can anyone tell me why i can not change zip file to ipsw file?

    • Guy Brenner says:

      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

  21. […] might also be considered easier to use since the application will automatically download the iPad IPSW 3.2.2 file from Apple rather than you having to do it yourself, meaning you only have to point at […]

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