HT4623 Update software ios 3.2 iPad

Can I update the operating system on my first generation ipad

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as you have iOS 4 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 (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you are on iTunes 11). 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 be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

I couldn't connecting to update software on i tunes or on Iphone. (my iphone 3 GS have not menu "software update"

You won't have the option to update wirelessly unless you are running iOS 5 or higher. If you aren't, your only option is to update using iTunes (see "Updating your device using iTunes" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623).

HT4623 How do I update my iOS on my iPad that has 5.1 ? When I go to settings and update, it says everything is up to date as 5.1 iOS. :-(

I need to update the iOS on my iPad. There is no option under the settings, general section.

A first generation iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1. Any device running an iOS version prior to 5.0 must be updated from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.

My laptop has crashed and I'm in between getting a new one but need to update my iOS on my iPad, is there anyway of doing this without a laptop or computer?

If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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).

Unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone.

I am unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone. Though I have had these devices and have been updating for over a year, the issue just started with this new release (iOS 5.1).
When I connect my Pad and Phone to iTunes (Windows PC with Vista), I am told that an update is available. When I update, iTunes tries to connect to a server. Then I receive the message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could nopt be established."
When I try to update the devices iOS using WiFi directly (not connected to iTunes). The devices say, "Checking for Update..." and does not connect. It says, "Unable to check for update...An error occurred while checking for a software update...Cancel or Try Again"

I solved this by downlading the iOS update via wi-fi at another location other than my home. I would still like to know why this download did not work at my home as it has for over a year. I have made no changes in my firewall or security settings.

Since updating to iOS 8 my iPad 4th Generation wont synch any media like music or movies, just artworks of the music I already have

Since I updated to iOS 8 my iPad 4th generation my iPad wont synch any media like music, movies or TV shows. It always starts to synch like any normal iPad but just when its stars to transfer the movies, music or what ever new media I want to get on the iPad, it instantly restarts the synch, and the only thing it does is synch the artworks for the music and movies, but I does not transfer any media. I have restored my iPad 4 times, nothing different, I have reinstated iTunes on my PC 3 times, nothing changed and I dont know what to do.

I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.

I want to updating my IOS on my iPad..What Version of IOS are the best on my iPad?

i want it to update my IOS on my iPad..what is the best Version of IOS for my iPad?

The only version that you can update to is the current version i.e. 8.3 - unless your iPad is the first gen in which case it only supports up to iOS 5.1.1
Is there anything in iOS 8.3 that you need, or any apps that require a higher iOS version than you currently have on your iPad that you'd like to install ?

How do I update the iOS in my iPad?

How do I update the iOS in my iPad?

The best way is to connect it to the computer you normally use to sync it.
Never synced it? You should. This is the only way to ensure it is properly backed up before upgrading iOS.

Every since i updated to ios 5 my ipad keeps crashing

Since I updated to ios 5 my ipad keeps crashing. All you see is the Apple logo on the screen and thats as far as it goes. The only way to fix it is to restore it. Any suggestions?

Since iOS 5 has been available since September, I wonder why this is starting now ...
Anyway, which iPad version do you have ... the original one? How did you load iOS 5 -- through iTunes? On which operating system - windows or Mac?
Do you have an iPad backup? Then yes, you should restore and reinstate the backup for starters.
