Update your iTunes to the most recent version.
Using the cable, connect the iPad to the computer and iTunes. It should tell you that there is an update to the iOS available and ask you if you want to download it.
iTunes will back up your iPad as part of this - make sure to let iTunes do it.
After iTunes installs the new OS, it will restore the backed-up data and media. Make sure to let your iPad do this before unplugging it - it's not clear that the iPad is being restored, but if all goes well it will be.

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.

HT4972 why am i getting an error -48 when updating to iOS5 on my iPad

why am i getting an error -48 when updating to iOS5 on my iPad and how do I fix it? Apple's suggestion does not work.

I'm sorry but I don't what the error means other than the ipsw file is bad - which is what it says in the article and it usually relates to something in the specific user account.
You did try creating a new user account on the Mac and tried updating that way? You have no security software running on the Mac?
The app that was downloaded using your son's ID should not affect the update to the best of my knowledge.

On a related question, I would not care so much if i could make a good backup and not have the upgrade overwrite this backup. Once I start the upgrade, iTunes thinks I've never done a successful backup of the iPad and yet I've done at least a dozen over time.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here by "iTunes thinks I've never done a successful backup". Are you trying to do a manual backup?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it
