I have an old iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3. Can I upgrade on itunes to newest version (8.1.3) to download a particular app? I have avoided upgrading to avoid the trouble I might run into but am missing out on many apps.What trouble am I going to run into? Is the upgrade worth it?
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3
The jury is literally split on that one.
Some have upgraded with no issues, others have said that their iPads are bricks after the update.
My iPad is happily at 7.1.2 and I have no plans to upgrade.
I think it depends on how much you really want that app and if it's worth the gamble.

Thanks. Is there a way to upgrade to 7.1.2 if the update poised to be installed is a later version? How do you select a particular version? I am going for Netflix and it only requires iOS 7
Unfortunately there is no middle ground. Apple only signs the most recent software package, in this case 8.1.3. So if you want netflix you'll need to upgrade.
Go ahead and update. I've had no problems with iOS 8.1.3.
Note that this is a help forum, those who have problems post here while those who have no problems don't.
Ok to upgrade to iOS 8.1.3?
