HT201359 How do I update my iPad I don't have update in my general settings?
How do I do it?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

You do not have iOS 5 or later installed. You need to connect to your computer and update using iTunes.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

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.

How do I determine which IPad Air model I have?
How do I determine which IPad Air model I have--Air or Air2? Thanks.
The single row I'm speaking of goes across the full width of the iPad but is interrupted by the Lightning connector. Here's an ASCII example:
iPad Air 2
. =speaker holes
O= Lightning connector
...............O...............
iPad Air 1
: = speaker holes
O= Lightning connector
:::::::::::::::O:::::::::::::::
I mentioned them as being rows and not columns because with a single row as with the Air 2, there are no columns when viewed horizontally...if viewed vertically, the rows will of course turn into columns. -
How to set up an iPad mini if i have existing iPad and iMac
how to set up an iPad mini if i have existing iPad and iMac
How do you want it to be set up ? If you want the same content as you have on your other iPad then copy any purchases that aren't already in your Mac's iTunes library by connecting it to it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option, back up the iPad (File > Devices > Back Up), and then restore that backup onto your iPad Mini
