How do I upgrade to iOS 5 on iPad?

I am having difficulty upgrading my iPad to iOS 5.  I synched it, but now everything seems to freeze.  Any help is much appreciated.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. Reboot the computer and Reset the IPad [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.]
If the update to iOS 5 was not successful then try again.

    How do I upgrade from ios 5 to ios 7 on my ipad?

    Hi,
    If you have an original iPad then iOS 5.1.1 is the limit due to it not having enough RAM (Memory). All others should get iOS 7.0.3.
    This is accessible in Settings -> General -> Software Update.
    Hope this helps!

    Well you have to go on settings general software update then check for software if you download it and it says error try this: update it while its loading get your USB cable and plug it into your computer go on iTunes and check for software it'll take 4 hours (no kidding!) then your iPad will load and don't press set as new iPad press set from restore (because I did set as new iPad and lost everything but got it back except photos but I can restore it) hope this helps           

  • How DO i upgrade to iOS ?

    How DO i upgrade to iOS.

    Update it as described in this article; a device running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can only be updated from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.0.4 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.

  • HT4623 How do I upgrade to iOS 5 as I do not have the software update handle in thecsettings.

    How do I upgrade to iOS 5 when there is no software update handle in the settings?

    You update via your computer's iTunes, the Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed.
    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

  • How do I upgrade to ios 5 or higher from version 4.2.1?

    I have the first version of the IPad which is 4.2.1.  How do I upgrade to ios 5 or higher from version 4.2.1? On my Settings/General, there is no Software Update section.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • After the recent upgrade to ios 8 ipad air has no audio coming out

    HI
    After the recent upgrade to ios 8 ipad air has no audio coming out

    I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

    How do I upgrade the IOS in my 3G iphone using the usb cable hooked to my computer ?

    To view the version, use Settings > General > About and look down the list of details shown there; that will usually display the software version.
    iOS 4.3.1 is the last version of iOS for the iPhone 3G. 
    To upgrade iOS (if you're not already running 4.3.1), connect your iPhone to your Mac or Windows system via the cable, launch iTunes if necessary, and follow the instructions that should appear.
    If you are already running iOS 4.3.1, there is no further upgrade.
    What tool or application or support forum or message is presenting the message about your mail and the upgrade?
