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).

How long to update ipad to ios5

Hi
I have just started to update my ipad2 to IOS5. It has been connected for over two hours now and doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
The ipad does not have much on it only a few emails.
All my photos seem to have dissapeared.
Any ideas please.
John.

Joshe,
I have the original ipad, so i can give you my experience.
It will take a while, but not 2 hours. Also, i hope you did a backup before updating. With mine, even with a backup, everything went back to original state. But once I synced, it reloaded my photos and music fine. The applications did not. A few reloaded, and even some i never had on my system. But... When i went to the app store, the ones i had, reloaded at no charge. For example, PAGES didn't show up when i reloaded, so i thought i lost all my documents. But once i did the download again, it was free and all my docs were there. When i updated originally, the app reload seemed like nothing was happening . So i cancelled and reloaded one at a time and it worked fine. I think it was having trouble downloading too many at once.
So, the ios 5 load and sync took about 30 minutes, but the apps and reload of data took longer. I had about 300 songs, 3 movies, 150 photos, 10 documents and about 50 apps. I hope this helps.

How do i update iPad 2 to ios5

How do I update iPad 2 with ios5?

Hi RUdegar,
I bought an iPad 2 at Apple shop in NY in the US last August. Upon bringing it to Nigeria,I tried downloading Keynote but,a window propped up to say "Update to IOS 5.0. I connected my iPad to a computer in a cyber Internet cafe using the USB as instructed on Apple website but the only icon I saw was that of the camera.No prop came up to say how to download iOS 5. Pls advice me on practical terms or step by step procedure on how to update my iPad to ios5. Cheers.

Updated iPad to ios5, now getting error message

Just updated iPad to ios5 today. Now when plugging into my wired Apple iPad Keyboard Dock, I get the "accessory not supported for charging" message. Advice please.

First of all: before you upgrade, always make a backup of your device in iTunes!
The following happens when upgrading to iOS 5 (this is different from previous system upgrades!):
The installer creates automatically a restore file
Then a clean system is installed on your device, all your data will be removed. Don't panic, this will be ok later on.
When the os is updated you get a few configuration questions (i.e. language settings).
At one point you're given a choice:
configure device as a new device
restore from iCloud
restore from iTunes
Unless you want to start all over, choose the third option.
All your settings will be restored at first and your device will restart.
Now comes the tricky bit: After restart your device will work fine as if the process is finished. i.e. you can send and recieve mails. At this point you will not see the apps you had installed, also you're photo's and movies will not be on your device. (I was fooled buy this one at first too)
Do not disconnect your device or quit iTunes! In the background iTunes is still restoring the rest of your data. (Switch to iTunes and you'll see the progress.) This can take some time, depending on how much apps you had installed. One by one you'll see apps appearing on your device. You can't use the untill the whole restore is finished.
When all apps are back, your photo's and video's will be restored.
So please be patient. It took me more than an hour to get everything back in place.
The only small annoyance: there are new Apple-apps added to the homescreen. They're 'pushed' to the second screen by your own homescreen apps, leaving your second screen almost empty. Now you only have to rearrange the apps on the second screen.
If all turns out bad, because you unplugged your device too early, go back to your restore file you made yourself before upgrade. (You did do that, didn't you?) and start the process all over.

How do I update iPad 2 to iOS 5?

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

-5000 error updating iPad to ios5

Trying to update my iPad to ios5 and I'm getting an error that reads.
An error occured while backing up this iPad (-5000). Would you like to continue to update this iPad?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad.
So far I've done a hard reset of the iPad twice, rebooted my PC a couple times which is running Windows 7. Deleted the one backup in the iTunes software and still getting this error.
Any ideas?

I expierenced the same (-5000) error message and took the advise of Jindisek and Disabled all of my Antivirus software and everything executed flawlessly.....Thanks Jindisek!
Ditto - although two issues needed to be resolved:
1. PC Tools Spyware Doctor was preventing back-up on iTunes start. Thanks Rootmail on another thread who advised:
Solved--at least for me under Windows 7. Spyware Doctor by PCTools caused the problem but they fixed it and noted it on their support forum. It also fixed an issue where the iTunes store was not appearing in iTunes though the store appeared properly in browsers. Their fix addressed both issues for me.
The iPad once again backs up and syncs properly on the Windows machine, and the iTunes store appears properly.
Short version: I was using Spyware Doctor with Anti-Virus version 8.0.0.651. The issue has been fixed in version 8.0.0.662. Simply download the new version http://www.pctools.com/mirror/sdasetup.exe
Full story: http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?69160-Problems-with-Spyware-Doctor-2 011-and-iTunes-10.4
2. Then, after reading Jindisek I disabled Spyware Doctor and upgade proceeded with out an issue.
Yes, fckybast answer is hardy deserving of Correct Answer status
