Hi Alan, Have you checked the App Store on your iPad to see what you have installed recently or if there is a update?
Try connecting your iPad to power and update over Wi-Fi 1. Plug your device into power and connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi. 2. Tap Settings > General > Software Update. 3. Tap download and Install. I prefer to Sync & Update my iPhone 7Plus & iPad Pro 12.9-inch over Wi-Fi since Apple don’t seem interested in iTunes anymore. I posted to WAMUG on 27 Sept.’18 - Subject: Mojave Won’t Install on Some 2012 iMacs with Boot Camp. Boot Camp is no longer supported on 2012 27-inch iMacs, if the owner plans to update to macOS 10.14 Mojave. Cheers, Ronni 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 > On 30 Sep 2018, at 5:51 pm, Alan Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Ronni, > > Thanks for your response. > > 1.
