Hi!
you first you should update your device with iTunes in computer to iOS 5 then OTA (over the air) update button will be enable.
for updating with computer:
1- Download latest version of iTunes from here.
2- connect your iPad to computer (iTunes).
3- in left side (iTunes 10 or older) or in top right (iTunes 11 - latest version) your iPad will be apear.
4- click on it. in summery tab you find update button.
before using iTunes on computer please read the manual carefully or see here and find your own topic.

HT4623 Software updates does not appear on iPad under settings, general

Trouble with down loading io5

You must use a cable to get to IOS-5. Then, the "updates" option will appear under settings for future updating via WiFi.

HT4623 I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?

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.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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.

I am trying to update my system but the software update option isn't in there

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 as your tagline suggests then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > 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 by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

Your iPad should update to iOS 6.0.1, so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change

HT4623 Software update does not come up when I go into settings/gereral, anyone know what to do?

Y

Software Update did not appear in Settings until iOS 5. You need to start iTunes on the computer you normally sync with, connect your iPad oto that computer, select your iPad in iTunes and then select the General tab.
Scroll down under General until you find the check for update choice. Select that and follow the prompts.

HT4623 No software update appears on my iPhone's General settings tag. How do I update my iPhone?

No "Software Update" appears in the General Settings folder on my iPhone. How do I update the software without it?

The first time iPhone goes to iOS 5, must be performed with iTunes on computer. Connect your iPhone to iTunes on computer.

HT4623 What do I do if software update is not an option in settings?

How do I upgrade operating system when I don't have the software upgrade choice in my settings area?
