Yet to update my IPad 2 to the new operating system. Last few months have been travelling with IPad but no computer. Last time I synced was with a PC laptop that died and I know longer own. Stayed with friend who updated to latest version of I Tunes on his PC. I then tried to sync my IPad to ITunes on his Windows 64 PC. ITunes recognized my IPAD but would not then sync. ( I am assuming that bsck-up always take place when Sync?). Went to Step 1 on the Sync then dropped out of Sync. Tried rebooting the computer and full shut down of IPad - as per OP - and this did not work.
ITunes offered me the option of restoring my IPad to its original settings but I am not keen to do this as without backup assume will lose information on contacts, calendar, and Apps.
Any advice most welcome. Many thanks.

Waiting for things to calm down is never a bad option. It also allows for any bugs to be ironed out as well. So not a bad idea...couldn't hurt as they say.
I am really thinking about up grading my IPad 2 to the latest software but I'm just scared I will have problems again like I did before.
last time I upgraded my IPad my photos kept disappearing so I took it back to Apple and they replaced it for a new one and told me not to up grade again until Apple tells us the bugs have been fixed and it is safe to up grade.
I need advice, is it really safe now to up grade or still I should wait. I want to set up icloud on my iPad and iPhone.

Yes, just connect it to your computer (having first made sure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed) then, when connected you should see, in the iTunes window, a message saying that there is new software available for your iPad, just follow the onscreen steps.

Need help again. I used Facetime the other day. The screen just went black then went to Home screen. After that my other Apps would just crash, that is, go black then go to Home screen after only a few minutes of using the App (Facebook, Yahoo News, etc). What should I do? Please help.

When you have problems with an app it's a good idea to clear it from RAM.
Close/Clear the app: With the problem app closed, double tap on the Home button to get the multitask bar. Tap and hold on any icon in the bar until they jiggle, then tap the minus sign on the problem app. This will remove it from RAM and insure a clean start the next time you launch the app.
If that does not work try a restart,
Restart: Hold down the power button until the power off slider appears. Slide it off. When the iPad finishes shutting down, hold down the power button again until the Apple logo appears.
and then a reset if that does not work.
Reset: Hold down the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears. The iPad will reboot. This usually takes a bit longer than a restart.

With my iPad I have had the photo gallery problem before in that some photos that are stored in the gallery disappear then reappear again..I have already had my iPad replaced because of this problem and I really don't want to have to bring it back again so they can just replace for a new one..
With my iPhone I will see how the battery goes today to see if it last longer if I don't use internet..
