Unable to update iPad to iOS 5.1.1 - Connection Error

I have been trying for months to update my iPad from 4.3.5 to 5.1.1.  Each time I try, I get the following error when it is downloading:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad "[my iPad name here]".  The network connection timed out."
I am trying to download it through iTunes on my PC over an ethernet connection.  I have internet service for other applications and am able to connect to my Apple account and download iPad Apps successfully.  I one have this connection issue when trying to download the OS.
I have tried disabling the firewall and AV, but the result is the same.
Any help is appreciated.

Try a manual install using the instructions here:

    Hi Yogeshmanand,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPad isn’t able to download iOS 8 over the air. You’ll probably have better luck downloading the upgrade on another Wi-Fi network or using iTunes, as suggested in the article linked below.

    If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
    I hope this helps.

    Unable to update iPad. Been backing up forever

    Hey there SHEEL.handa,
    As I understand it, your Settings app installing an update correctly that it downloaded. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, use this part of the article about troubleshooting updating in this manner:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • HT4623 update ipad with ios 4.3

    how do I update ipad with ios 4.3

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
