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).

How can I download version 6 ? My iphone is currently on version 4 and I do not have the software update icon on my phone
IOS 4 will not update over the air (WiFi etc). You need to plug it to iTunes. After that you can do future updates over the air.

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.

I have an IPad 2. I tried to use Netflix and it told me that I needed to have iOS 6.1.2. Turns out I do not have the one before that either. I never got an alert as I did on my iphone 4s. When I ask the how to question, apple support tells me to go to Settings, General, Software update. Problem is I do not have software update available as a choice. Are there alternative ways to upgrade? Thanks. I did notice on other discussion boards that other Netflix users are pulling their hair out since the upgrade to 6.1.2.
Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there any other way to update the operating system? Thank you
Your tag line shows iOS 6. If you are running iOS 6 you should have it in the settings. Your tag line also shows iPad - so if you have the iPad 1 - you can only update to iOS 5.1.1 and you need a computer running iTunes.
So if You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA.
