How do i update my ipad to mac osx 10.5

In trying to sync my ipad with my macbook Pro for the first time i get the error message ipad can't be used baceuse it needs mac osx 10.5 or later. Help.

Your Mac, not the iPad, needs OS X 10.5.8 on it before you will be able to use the iPad with it - what version of OS X do you currently have on your Mac ?

How do you update to iPad and mac using icloud

I am using iCloud. I upload to my iPad and then might change it. How do I access the updated version back at my mac?

Hey kevin1953
I'd read over the following document to access your iCloud documents on your MacBook Pro:
iCloud: Access iWork documents stored in iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2704
Download documents from iCloud iWork to a Mac or Windows computer
Before you can open a document stored in iCloud from a Windows computer or a Mac with OS X v10.7.5 or later, you must download the document to your computer from iCloud iWork.
In iCloud iWork, click the button for the type of document you wish to download: Keynote for presentations, Pages for word processing, or Numbers for spreadsheets.
If necessary, select the folder that contains the document.
Do one of the following:
Select a document and choose an option from the Download menu.
Select multiple documents to download, and choose Download document type from the Action pop-up menu.
On your Mac, Shift-click to select multiple adjacent documents or Command-click to select multiple nonadjacent documents.
On your Windows computer, Shift-click to select multiple adjacent documents or Control-click to select multiple nonadjacent documents.
Have a great day,
David

How do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

how do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1.1 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

How do I update my ipad version 4.3.1 to iOS 6 or 7?

How do I update my ipad versoin 4.3.1 to iOS 6 or 7? My "General settings" doesn't show "update" option.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

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 antivirus 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 7.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 to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

The IOS5 upgrade will erase everything on your iPad, so make sure you have a good backup before you start.
If not, you will just have to reenter all of your settings all over again. Have you ever backed it up successfully?

How do I update my iPad to iOS 6

How do I update my iPad to ios6

If it's the original iPad, you can't.
If it's an iPad 2 or newer running an iOS version prior to 5.0, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there.
If it's an iPad 2 or newer running iOS 5, see above, or update it from the device itself.

How do I update my iPad to iOS

If you already have iOS 5+ installed then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad. If you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes (you can also do it this way if you hae iOS 5+).
To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. 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, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
A first gen iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (it doesn't support iOS6). An iPad 2, 3 or 4 should get updated to iOS 6.0.1, so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.
