How do you update your original iPad ios

Hi,  I have the original iPad.  For the life of me , i I can't update the iOS.  I was told i can download the  update. But I am unable to do it.  Please help.

What version is on there now? If you have iOS 5.1.1, that's the last version an iPad 1 can run. If you have iOS 4.x or earlier, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

    Update it as described in this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. 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 original iPhone and first generation iPod touch is 3.1.3.
    The maximum iOS version for the iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch is 4.2.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.

  • How do you update your email address on iCloud?

    How do you update to a new email address on the cloud on iPhone and iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT4623 How would you update your iPod Touch using your iPod touch?

    I want to update the software on my iPod Touch 4th Generation from my iPod Touch itself. I can't figure out how to do it, though. In the past, it has just asked me to update, but now, it doesn't do that. Anyone with any information on how to update your iPod touch software, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared your knowledge with me. Thanks so much!(:

    See:
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the iPad already has iOS you can go to Settings>gener>wifi update and update via wifi. Otherwise yu will have to connect to iTunes and update via iTunes.
    The current iOS is iOS 6.
