HT4623 I want to update my iPad
I want to update my iPad to the current operating system from 4.3.3. When I go to settings and then general I don't see an update option. Please advise. Thanks
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 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 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.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Hey , why always when i want to update my Ipad to ios 6.1.3 at the end tills me that the update was failed , its always ,please if you can help me, and thank you.
Try disabling your firewall and antivirus software and see if that helps - if you are trying to update using iTunes on your computer.

When i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including apps
when i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including app
If you backup with iCloud only - yes your apps are included in the backup. If you backup and sync with iTunes - only your app data and documents, device settings and things like that are included in the backup.
So if you use iTunes only, you have to restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes. If you are going to update to iOS 5 now you should backup your iPad ... Or even iOS 6 when available on the 19th - backup your iPad. -
Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do i do?!
The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID. First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes. Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed. If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID. Then, connect the iPad. Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice. Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated. Post back and we'll go from there. -
HT4623 I need to update my iPad 1 from iOS 5.11. How can I do this
I am wanting to update my iPad from iOS 5.11, an am not able to find information to do that.
You can't, that is as high as the iPad 1 can go since it only has 256MB of RAM.

As already stated, you cannot. At iOS 5.1.1 an iPad 1 is already as updated as it is ever going to get. -
I wanted to update my iPad 2 from 4.3 to the latest update but I got stuck in the restoring step. I couldn't restore the iPad.
The error message"The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server couldn't be contacted or is temprorily unavailable"Hello someone9,
There are a few possible causes for this issue, sometimes it is related to Security Software, other times it is related to the internet connection. Let's follow the steps below:
iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
- Install the latest version of iTunes.
- Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
- Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
- Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
- If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
