    I haven't got an option for software update? How can I update my ipad2 to ios5.1

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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).

  • Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

    Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    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 ipad2 to ios6?

    How do I update my ipad2 to iOS 7?

    You can't update to iOS6. Your iPad will be updated to the latest OS, which is 7.0.4
    If you have iOS4 on your device like your post says, then you should connect it to its syncing computer. Update iTUnes. Do a full backup then follow the prompts in iTunes to download and install the new OS.
    Depending on your internet speed could take you an hour or so to do it.

  • HT4623 How do i update my ipad to ios5?  There is no software update button.  I cannot get new games, etc.

    I need to update my ipad2 to ios5 and it has never been updated since original purchase in 2012.  There is no button available for updates when i select general.

    Connect it to a computer with iTunes, select the iPad from the Devices in the left sidebar, then select Software Update from the main Summary window.  If it is an iPad 2 it will update to iOS 6.1.3.
