How do I update my iPad to iOS 6

How do I update my iPad to ios6

If it's the original iPad, you can't.
If it's an iPad 2 or newer running an iOS version prior to 5.0, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there.
If it's an iPad 2 or newer running iOS 5, see above, or update it from the device itself.

How do I update my iPad to iOS

If you already have iOS 5+ installed then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad. If you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes (you can also do it this way if you hae iOS 5+).
To update via your computer, 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

A first gen iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (it doesn't support iOS6). An iPad 2, 3 or 4 should get updated to iOS 6.0.1, so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

HT1338 How do I update my ipad version 4.3.2?

I have an ipad, my first Apple product ever. It says it is Model MB294LL, Version 4.3.2 (8H7). I've been trying to figure out if I can update it as so many of the apps won't work on this version. I can't seem to find the link to do this and I do not have a service contract so I can't get the answer from Apple. Thanks!

That model can be upgraded to 5.1.1

How can I update an iPad to IOS 7 when the .ipsw is already in the software updates folder?

I have already upgraded one iPad to IOS7 from iTunes. The .ipsw file is still in my ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates folder. Why, when I attempt to upgrade a second iPad, does iTunes want to start downloading it yet again? It's already there. Brain damage in iTunes? I have to limit my download activity due to my ISP (can't get another one yet).
Thanks!
Gary

How do I update my iPad 2, iOS 5.1 to 7.0 when there's no further update option?

I need to update to 7.0, from 5.1 on iPad 2, so that I can use all functions and download apps.....,but there's no option to update beyond 5.1 and says it's updated. Help!!!!

If it does not have a camera, then its a First generation iPad, and it cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1.
If it does have a camera then it can be update to iOS 7.1.2. However, if there is no Software Update Option in Settings, you will need to connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes and update through there.
