iPad Users – We Need You to Update Your iPad’s Operating System!

If you haven't already done so, take a few minutes to update your iPad to the most recent version of its operating system—iOS 9.3.2. This update generally does not take too long, especially if you have updated in the past two months. It's always a good idea to plug in your iPad power during an update.

The Agency has moved to a new way of distributing apps and managing iPads, so if you are not at iOS 9.3.2, you will not be able to get any new agency apps on your iPad.


If you have any questions or need help with this update, contact Marquis Jones (ext. 14618), Judy Cleveland (ext. 14538), Mike Permann (ext. 14767) or Mande Gamble (ext 14676).
