I want to update my ipad 2 but I do not get the notice to update software on my ipad under settings, general. I have not updates since I purchased the ipad. Please help.

You have to be running iOS 5 in order to update via the iPad settings. You are running 4.3. You will have to update via the latest version of iTunes on a computer. After you update to iOS 5.1.1, you will be able to do OTA updates from the settings on the iPad.

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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Since there is no "Software Update", you are not yet up to iOS 5. That is where that feature was introduced.
So your only choice is to use iTunes to update your software.

After upgrading to IOS 5.1 I no longer can see Verizon at the top of my Iphone and under settings general Network says Not Available Why is this? Did the upgrade cause this?

If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

HT4972 iPad2 - why do I not see software update under settings, general? I am trying to update to ISO5

iPad 2 I am trying to update to ISO5;however, when I go to setting, general, I do not have software update as directions show on apple support.

From my experience, you need 6.1.3 to download ios 7. I have tested this with six devices, one ios 5, one ios 6.1.3, and others 6.1.2. The ipad 2 that was 6.1.3 had the option available while the other five did not, then i updated my ipad mini to 6.1.3, after that the ios 7 option under settings was available. Please share your experiences too, thanks. And i would like someone to prove me wrong saying they updated directly from something not 6.1.3 to ios 7

I want to load iBooks but the app store says I need ios7. How do I get ios7 or an earlier version of iBooks? Under settings/general there is no category for software update.

I can't load iBooks because I do not have ios7. My setting/general does not have a software update category. How do I fix this?

Connect to iTune and Check for Updates (tap to enlarge image)

How are you trying to copy them over ? You should be able to copy them over to the TV Shows section of your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

1. Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
2. Sign out and sign back in to iTunes and App Store

HT1414 I have just upgraded my ipad to ios 5.1.1. I did a backup to itunes before the upgrade. I have been able to get my books & music back onto my ipad but how do I get my apps back onto my ipad?

I have just upgraded my ipad to ios 5.1.1. I did a backup to itunes before the upgrade. I have been able to get my books & music back onto my ipad but how do I get my apps back onto my ipad?

If the apps are not on your computer's iTunes (did you do File > Transfer Purchases prior to starting the update ?), then you could try downloading them to your computer (re-downloading) and then restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

Why does iTunes tell me that I have tons of memory available (30 GB) on my iPad (when I plug it in to my computer), but when I check my storage directly on the iPad (under Settings/General/Storage), I only have 3GB?

This is driving me nuts. I need to "rent" some flicks for a trip, but my iPad (64GB) tells me I have insufficient memory. Checking under Settings/General/Usage, I find 3GB free. I hook it up to my computer (iTunes) and clear out pretty much everything (audio, video, extra apps, etc) and iTunes then tells me I have 30GB available. Yes, I hit apply and the darn thing synches just fine. Disconnect and look back at the iPad, and viola - only 3GB available. ARRRRGGGHHHH!

Sounds like you should restore your iPad. For one thing, that will bring it up to current iOS rev (6.1.2). For another, that should clean out any junk and further make sure the two numbers you're referring to agree.
By the way, a viola is a musical instrument in the violin family. The word you're looking for is voila

HT3819 How do I watch a rented movie on my TV? I downloaded the movie to my iPad, but I can't get it on my tv.

I rented a movie from iTunes. It downloaded to my iPad, but I can't get it on my TV. What do I need to do to watch it on my tv with Apple TV?

Hello, be sure you have your Apple TV selected as the designated viewing source. There a couple ways to do this. While watching the video click on the square with the triangle in it, select the name of your Apple TV. Or, double click any time, scroll to the left twice to reveal the same symbol, and select your Apple TV.

HT3819 I'm trying to watch a movie from Lovefilm on my AppleTV via the iPad but all I'm getting is the audio. Am I doing something wrong?

on my AppleTV via the iPad but all I'm getting is the audio. Am I doing something wrong?

It's not just Lovefilm - many app makers limit these things to keep the movie studios happy.
Sky do the same I believe.

HT4623 How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if you don't have a software button option?

How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if the Software button is non-existent?

You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so 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. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.
