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).

My iPad is still running iOS 5.1.1 which is old. When I check for update it says up to date. Have tried to update via Pad and iTunes to no avail. How do I get updated iOS?

I have fist gen iPad. Still running iOS 5.1.1 When I attempt to update via usual mens I get response that it's up to date which is untrue. I've tried to update via the Pad itself and via iTunes with the same response on both. How do I get the updated iOS?

Just because you don't have the latest software means your ipad is unusable. Many times you can still download older versions of the apps. Check Texas Mac Man's answer from yesterday for some possible solutions,
Is there a version of Pages I can download for ios5.1.1?

HT4623 tried to update iphone 4 and it didnt work

i downloaded and started updating the phone and i got disconnected and now the phone wants me to connect it ti itunes but the computer says usb evice not recognized

Without more information like what happens when you restore the iPod all I can suggest is:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4623 Trying to update my iPad 2, however in general settings there is no prompt to do this like there is on my iPhone. How do I update another way?

I'm trying to update my ipad2, however in general settings there is not prompt to let me do so. Is this iOS5 update not available for my iPad or is there another way to do this?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed - if you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the next update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc 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 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.

HT4623 Trying to update my iphone and the message says i must be connected to Wi-Fi...why? I am unable to update.

Why do I have to use a wi-fi connection to update my phone?

Because the upgrade download exceeds the maximum file size allowed under cellular. You either need to be on a wifi network, or connect your iPhone to your computer and upgrade throught iTunes.

How to delete photos on the ipad which was put on from a lap top. I have tried doing what some said ie: getting into slideshow - but didn't get any arrow to press. Can someone help please?

Can anyone help me to delete photos that were put on my ipad from a lap top computer. I have tried following instructions from another member, but there was no arrow to press by the slideshow - so I was unable to go any further. Appreciate any help, as there are lots of photos.

I am pretty new to Ipad and computers - it's easy to delete photos taken on the Ipad camera - but what do I do on the computer to delete the laptop photos (which a family member put on) I can work my way around a computer OK.

i tried to update my phone and it doesn't work. Tried restoring from DFU, and other things. I got error message 3194 and have also gotten "this device isn't eligible for the requested build" What do i try now?

If it's stuck on the Apple logo, you'll have to force it into recovery mode and restore it. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

I bought this iPhone from a guy and later on he passed away in Syria , after that , I tried to update the soft ware to ISO 7 but the system asked me for the old owner's information which I do not know so could you please advice me on that , what can I do to reactivate the device ?

You cannot reactivate the device without knowing the previous owner's information. This is the new antitheft measure built into the iPhone.
There's nothing you can do. You'll need to purchase a new phone.
