HT1222 How do I download ios5 to my I pad?

What do I do to get the updated IOS 5 downloaded to my iPad? I've looked in settings but never has any updates....

The ability to update on the iPad itself using wifi was added in iOS 5.
If you have the ability to check for software updates in settings-general-software updates you already have iOS 5.

HT1222 how do I download IOS5 onto my macbook and IPad 2?

Hi, my IPad 2 has some apps that need to be updated....when I attempt to do that, the message reads you need IOS5 on IPad to complete the process. How do I update my IPad 2 with that operating system? thank you.

If you aren't sure you want to update to iOS 6, there are a few places that have iOS 5 available for download

Note many have been upset at Apple's new Maps application, and the fact the old Google Maps only is available via web browser. If all your apps need just iOS 5, it may be worth while just getting iOS 5 until you've heard Apple has improved the new Maps application.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 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

I don't have a pc how can I download ios5 onto my iPad 2

First off, you should post your question in the proper forum section. This section is for discussion about the Thunderbolt displays, not iPads.
but to answer your question, you can't. Since you are currently running version 4.3.3, it doesn't have the over-the-air software update feature. That feature came out with version 5.0.1. You will need to use a computer (or use a friend's computer or take it into the Apple Store) to update the iPad. Once you have updated it to iOS 5, then you will be able to get future updates without a computer.

You can't download iOS 5 onto an iPad 2, you can only install iOS 6.0.1 as that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for it.
To update, 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.

If it's a first generation iPod touch, it can't be updated past 3.1.3.

How do I download ios5.1, there is no software update button in settings

I was going to download iOS 5.1 but then realized there was a more recent version out with numerous bug fixes caused by versions 4.3 and higher. So I looked up how to download it and every place said to go to settings, tap "General" and there will be a "Software Update" option for an 'over the air' wireless software update. But when I tried, there was no such illusive "Software Update" button.
How do I download iOS 5.1? I can't do it through iTunes because its meant for 'over the air'. But there's no way to do it without that button!

Everytime I try updating ios via iTunes, it is taking more than 3 hours and then session breaks saying "Timed Out"
I have been trying to update iOs since last 3 days using iTunes but of no help, please let me know any other alternative way by which I can update my iOs

How can I download iOS5 for my iPAD2?

I can´t download ios5, it says, open itunes and follow instructions???

You need to connect your iPad to your computer and update the software in iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and your iPad should be recognized when connected and it should let you know there is a newer version of iOS available for download. Going to iOS 5.0.1 is a lengthy process. Make sure you have turned off any Firewall/Anti-Virus software before starting the process.
