HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to iOS 5?

Why I can't update my iPad o iOS 5?

You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is 7.0.4
What happens when you follow the instructions on the page that you posted from ?
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > 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 via File > Devices > Back Up.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

Hi,
I am facing error when I try to upgrade to IOS 5.
I am upgrading via my Windows PC, iTunes. While downloading and after almost 40% of download complete I receive error that disconnected from server and asking to check my internet connection.
I tried this 5 times over the past month from three different internet connection and was getting same error.
I also tried to just do the download to my PC without installing the update to iPad direct, and it failed too, below the error message.

HT4623 I can't update my iPad iso 6.0.1 , it said error .. I don't know how I can get my new update

I can't update my iPad for iso 6.0.1,, it said error all the time . How I can get my new update

Is this an over-the-air update, or did you update while being connected to a computer?
iOS 8.2 and above take up around 2 GB more space, which requires that you have more space on your device. If you tried the over-the-air update (updating directly form the iPad in Settings>General>Update) this issue could be resolved by updating through a computer with iTunes installed on it. Updating through a computer requires less space on the device, because it pulls the SW out before replacing it, while over-the-air updates install the new SW before removing the old one.
If this doesn't work, or you in general want to know how you can manage your storage better, try managing storage through Settings>Usage>Storage>Manage storage. This function allows you to view what is taking up storage, and it allows you to more easily remove data you do not wish to keep on the device.
Good luck.

You cannot. 5.1.1 is as far as you go with the original iPad. The hardware is not up to running iOS 7.

HT4623 I need to update my iPad to iOS 5

I want to download "Minecraft" Pocket Edition and I need a later iOS upgrade.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

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 antivirus 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 to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

HT4623 I need to update my iPad to IOS 7.0.6, because my company requires it, but they didn't approve the update until 7.1.0 was out and that is not allowed yet. How do I resolve this issue?

How do I update my iPad to a supseded version of IOS?
My company requires me to use the most recent IOS version approved by corporate, flight department and the FAA. This is never initially the same rev as the current IOS revision available from Apple for install. There is always a gap between when Apple releases the update and when its approved for us. My not infrequent dilemna is that occasionally, at least, we are not approved to update to a more recent revision to IOS, until the day of an even more recent revision release, which is of course, not yet approved for my group.
Yet, we are required to always use the most recent company and FAA approved rev. Where may I find a link to the (recently) outdated install file or what other process would allow compliance with my situation?

This is a concern amoung many corporate users. It's going to take somekind of policy change with apple.

HT4623 I can't update my iphone 4s iOS 6.1.2, Message saying I'm not connected to internet but I am, why?

Every time I'm trying to update my 4s with iOS 6.1.2, keeps showing message that I'm not connect to Internet, but I am, anybody experiencing the same issue???? Help!

I was able to update my iPhone 4S to 6.1.1, BUT :: I could not update to 6.1.1. from my iPhone. I received the same message as everyone else saying that my iPhone was not connected to the Internet, which is was. (I was able to access my mail etc. via Internet.)
Instead I connected my iPhone to my computer via ITunes via the cable. I then downloaded the software on my computer and updated the iPhone from the computer. While I was downloading the software on to my computer, which is only connected to the Internet via ethernet, the same message as above appeared on my iPhone about not being connected to the Internet. I pressed cancel. The software continured to download on to the computer and then on the iPhone.
