Should I update my Ipad?

[dennis thompson]

I got a message that an update for my Ipad is available, sometimes updates don't work out so good for me.
Do you think I should update?
Thanks

I typically update my IPad when prompted. I don't usually have a problem. If I do have a problem, it is usually limited to an App or two. In general, i think keeping it current works best.

The only problem I've had is that iOS 6 broke Wifi sync to iTunes on windows machine--a common complaint on Apples forums.

With i06 you will loose the built in youtube app and you get Apple maps to replace Google maps. I have stayed with iOS 5.1 for now.

Read the list of changes, if there is a security fix or other change that you would benefit from then you might want to upgrade sooner than later. However, it is usually best to wait a day or two to see if the update causes issues for early adopters. If you keep regular backups then it should be a snap to revert an update if needed.

I've had no problem with Apple updates. Now Microsoft updates (shudder).....

Google Maps and YouTube app are available in the iTunes store for free; the former was released this week and the latter has been available for some time.

OP, I update my iDevices when prompted.

Wifi sync doesn't always work as well as prior to IOS 6 with a Mac either, so its not just your Windows machine. I have reverted to using a cable for both my iPhone and iPad until they get it fixed.
