How do I update IPad 2 to ios6.0?

iI've upgraded my I. Pad, and gave my husband my 2. He has been trying to download the Facebook app, and keeps being told he has to upgrade to iOS 6.0. I thought I just did that! with credit card payment and all! and it still doesn't download....help?????

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. 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.

    How do I update iPad 2 to iOS 5?

    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • HT4623 How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if you don't have a software button option?

    How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if the Software button is non-existent?

    You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
    After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

    If you already have iOS 5+ on it (Settings > General > About > Version) then you should be able to update directly on the iPad via Settings > General > Software Update - otherwise you will need to update via your computer's iTunes.

  • Synch with desk top using OS X 10.6.8.  Won't recognise iPad, which it says has iTunes version too old.  How do I update iPad?

    I have a desk top upgraded to OS X 10.6.8.  Now won't recognise/synch iPad, which it says needs to have iTunes version 11.1 or later.  Why hasn't iPad updated or how can I do it manually?

    What do you need to update on your iPad?  Which model do you have and and which iOS version?  If you have an iPad 2 or newer with at least iOS 5 you can update the operating system over your WiFi by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

  • Help updating iPad to iOs6 - phone is jail broken and im stuck

    How can i get around this, or remove the jailbrake and update?
    Please help - im stuck in South Africa and people here arent to clued up about iPads!
    Thanks so much!

    You state your iPad has been jailbroken, so we can't help you in this forum.
    You may have "bricked" your iPad and now have an $$$ paper weight. Plus your Apple warranty has been voided and the Apple Genius Bar/Support will not help you.

  • How do I update iPad  1 OS?

    I want to update my iPad 1 os. How?

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
