Can I update my iPad 2
You can. If you are already on iOS 5+ then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update on it for direct update. If you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes (you can also update via your computer if you are on iOS 5+).
To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off it 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
Updating to iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

HT4972 I have an iPad 2 can I update to an iOS 5?
I have an iPad 2, can I update it to iOS5?
No. You can only update to iOS 6.1.3 now which is the most up to date software for your iPad. You cannot just update to iOS 5. You will need to update via iTunes on your computer - if you do want to update the software.
From iOS 4 or lower - Here are the instructions.

I have the iPad .. when you updated asked me apple id and when you entered does not accept .. What do I do???
Hi Mustafa
sometimes after a update the language of the keyboard changes. with this some letters may be changed (for example y and z)
I think in "settings - general" you can change the keyboard. -

Hi!
I just can`t get started? My new IPad is connected with my computer. On the IPAD I only see a cord with an arrow pointing at a circle with ITunes. The IPad is online via a mobile (3G) sim card.

I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC. I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it. How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well? I have also tried may suggestions on the apple support site and none have worked. Any suggestions are welcome.
You need iTunes version 11+.

I have an IPad 4. After updating the system, when I try to look at picture on Facebook and make it larger, there is just a "circle" in the middle of the page instead of the picture. Can anyone help me?
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -

I come from Germany, I would like to have the IPad 2 3G from the usa, can I make this with a German mobile contract?
I'm not really understanding what you want. You mention all 3 types of connections: wireless, 3G and bluetooth, but I'm not clear on what you want to do. What the router is supposed to do, and why do you think it would need to connect via bluetooth?
I'm thinking you want to buy a Mifi type device that will allow you to connect to a cellular network and then connect the iPad to that device via the Wifi network the Mifi produces.
Is that so? -
