HT4623 How do i update my ipad to ios5?  There is no software update button.  I cannot get new games, etc.

I need to update my ipad2 to ios5 and it has never been updated since original purchase in 2012.  There is no button available for updates when i select general.

Connect it to a computer with iTunes, select the iPad from the Devices in the left sidebar, then select Software Update from the main Summary window.  If it is an iPad 2 it will update to iOS 6.1.3.

  • HT5567 I'm not sure how to download ios6 on my ipad 2.  There is no software update under my general settings.

    How can one download the ios 6 onto the ipad 2 when there is no software updates under general settings?  Do I need to reset network settings?

    You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.

  • HT1296 Trying to update my iPad to iOS7 but theirs no software update. What do I do?

    Need to download a newer version of iOS to this iPad

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.0.4 for an iPad 2.

    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.

    You only get the Settings > General > Software Update when you have iOS 5+ installed on the iPad - if you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the next udpate via your computer's iTunes.

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to download IOS if under settings there is no software update button available. Do I have to reset my iPad and lose data?

    My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to get IOS 6 onto it. When I go into settings there is no software update button.

    If you are really on iOS 5 then look in Settings > General > Software update.
    Otherwise:
    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
