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).

There's an old and infallible Sysadmin's saying: Never install a X.0 version of an OS; wait till X.1 at least.

Trouble after Upgraded ipad to ios6

Upgraded ipad to ios6 but unable to locate my 3G carrier

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

How do I upgrade iPad iOS

How do u upgrade iPad operating system to iOS 6
I am using ios4 now. When I go to systems then to general, there is no button for software update

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you are on iOS 4 as your tagline suggests then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
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
Your iPad will be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

My wife has an ipad. How do I upgrade it to IOS6?

My wife is struggling to use icloud. It would seem that she needs to upgrade to ios6, but I can't figure out how to do that. Can this ipad be upgraded?
Thanks,
Bryan

You can update the original iPad to iOS 5.1.1 and iCloud is available in iOS 5. As suggested above, you do need to update via iTunes on your computer. Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes and sync and backup the iPad. Then click on the summary tab on the right side of the iTunes window and click on Check for Update.
If iTunes notifies you that there is an update available for the iPad, refuse it until you sync and backup first. After that, you can click on the summary tab and check for the update.

My mac wifi connection to DSL line was down when I tried to upgrade Ipad to IOS6, and it defaulted to Ipad data line and consumed my monthly allotment of data -- How can that happen as a technical matter?

Maps did not work for me for the first week after upgrading to IOS6 on my New Ipad -- I have since learned that I exceeded my 2 gig monthly data plan and therefore I had no 4G access on my ipad, which meant Maps couldn't work while traveling. Since I never download videos, I knew I had not knowingly downloaded that much data. When I called AT&T, they told me that when I upgraded to IOS6 I consumed over 1 gig of data.
I did the upgrade while connected to my iMac, which in turn has a wireless connection to router connected to my home DSL line.   My wifi service has been spotty lately, possibly because router is defective. So let's assume that when I tried to download IOS6 that my iMac did not have a good wifi connection. Is the AT&T person correct that the download defaults to the Ipad's 4G cellular network, even though the iPad is connected to the iMac by USB cable? I didn't think that was possible as a technical matter -- i.e., that the iMac gets automatic access to the iPad's connection to the cellular network. (I'm sure I'm not explaining this right, I'm obviously not technical.)
Also, do you get any obvious warning or indicator on the device that you have exceeded your data limit for the month? I sure didn't see any warning, (although I now know that I can go to Settings, then Cellular Data, then View Account and find the status of my data line account).
Thanks for any help on this.

Strange. It works fine with my setup which is no different from yours. Problem with the cable or LAN port(s)?

TS3694 Just upgraded iPad to IOS6, and Apps icon now changed to US store from my required Uk location. Any ideas to get back on this to UK?

How can I upgrade iPad 2?

I bought a used ipad2 yesterday and when connecting to my computer it says that I should upgrade to the new ios version. after several trials I gave it up. my system stops after a few minutes and says: an unexpected failure has occured. try it later again.
Is it possible to upgrade this old ipad 2 (from 2011) and if yes, how can I do that?
<Subject Edited by Host>

Have you tried upgrading via WiFi? Settings>General>Software Update. You have to be running iOS 5 on the iPad in order to have that in your settings. If you do not know what version you are running go to Settings>General>About>Version. If you are running iOS 4, you must use iTunes. your iPad can be upgraded all the way to the latest version which is iOS 8.1.3.
If you need to use iTunes, try disabling your antivirus software and your firewall when you attempt to update. I would also restart the iPad and the computer before trying again.
There have been some iPad 2 users reporting that updating to the latest iOS did not go well for them. I believe that it is still a small percentage of the overall number of iPad 2 users that had problems and I have nothing to base my belief on other than the fact that it if really was a world wide problem as some here in this forum would have you believe, it would have been world wide news.

There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco.
