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 do I update the operating system in an ipad2?

    I suggest that you don't, the new operating system stinks.  But if you want too, go to settings, general, and then software update.  If your iPad will support it, it will update.

  • 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.

  • How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?

    How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?
    Any help appreciated. Obviously I'm not technically minded so simple... Sorry... Very simple instructions would be great. Thanks

    Does the iPad come up with a "no AirPrint printers found" message? If so, the most common fault is that the printer isn't on the same WiFi network as the iPad. Your printer may also need a firmware update. Epson has some support information here that may be of help:

  • How do I update the software on my Airport Express?

    Hello everyone,
    I have an Airport Extreme base station acting as WDS and an Airport Express station. I recently upgraded the security on the Airport Extreme base station from 128-WEP to WPA (Personal), but I don't know whether I have to do something to the Airport Express base station. It's green light is on. Do I need to do something? Also, how do I update the software in the Express? Whenever I open the Airport Admin Utility, the only thing that comes up on a scan is my Extreme base station. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    yes you need to update your Airpost Express. I just went through this last week with two of my Airport Expresses. I updated my Base and my Remote's light was green but was unable to view it in Airport Admin Utility. So this is what I ended up doing and it works great.
    First bring the Airport Express you are working on in the same room as your computer......just the ease of seeing what is going on with the Airport Express. Next you need to reset it.....take a paper clip and push in the little button next to the Audio port and hold in 10 seconds. Then unplug the unit wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. wait about 3 minutes and then you will need to use Airport Set Up Assistant. You will need to make sure you have WPA Personal on your Airport Express too.
    don't forget to make sure you have the update firmware too.

    I hope this helps.....

    How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.

    You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device.  To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch.  So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.
