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.

HT4623 How to update iPad iOS 5.1.1

How to update iPad iOS 5.1.1??

If you need serious updating you might be in the market for a new ipad. If you do that, you can sell your ipad, though you won't get much $ for it these days. However, if you have a very Senior citizen in your life you might set it up for them with family pictures, music they loved years ago, some books, and get them online. These also help memory. Someone out there might find it a priceless gift.
Also, the Apple online only Certified refurbished Store has deals on refurbished ipads. Each comes with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery, a full one year warranty including 90 days of free phone support, and it comes in a white box like a new ipad with the cables. We have two and they have been great. Shipping is free. I suggest if you buy refurb, you only buy it on the Apple website.
These sites listed below might help you get some older versions of apps.
Hope this helps.

HT5278 When sync ipad2 with itunes, was asked to update ipad IOS to 5.1.1 but unsuccessful to download. same thing for itunes 10.6.3. It works when download externally. wonder what is the solution!?

Dear friends,
When sync ipad2 with itunes, was asked to update ipad IOS to 5.1.1 but unsuccessful to download. same thing for itunes 10.6.3. It works when download externally.
wonder what is the solution!?

There is no download for iTunes on the iPad.
iTunes on the iPad is a link for the store only, it is built into ios.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

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.

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
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
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.

HT1349 Some I updated to IOS system I canon not the numbers or pages to work on my iPad.2. I paid $10 for each of them. Any suggestions. I update often and these never get out of update status.

I'll correct my typos here...
When I updated my ipad2 to the IOS system all aps updated and worked except for PAGES and NUMBERS. They always show up in the list as aps that need an update, however the never leave that category and do not function. I paid $10 each for them and wish I could get them to work. any suggestions?

Think about the basics. you are using the same apple I'd for the update? have use mixed in apps from any other apple id? No existing numbers or pages docs open, or print jobs pending?
What happens when you select update in the app store? I think these are pretty big files, so you are doing the app update using a wifi connection?
If you are doing an 'update all', try updating that one specific app, not any others. See if you get any kind of error message.
Lastly, save any important docs or spreadsheets somewhere, then delete the app entirely , then try the redownload again.

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.

HT4972 Updating IPad operating system

I have an early IPad (version 3.2.1 (7B405) model MB292LL), is it possible to update the operating system to IOS?

The iPad 1 can be upgraded to 5.1.1.
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.

Issue updating iPad operating system

I have been trying to update the operating system on my ipad but each time i do it crashes at the last stage, can anyone help?
It says the connection is timing out once it is 1% from complete!

If you are having problems downloading the iPad iOS update and you're getting a network timeout message, then have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have been able to download successfully after doing so.

After i made update to ios system the auto brightness for screen is not working any more although i am turning it on

Before i make update the auto brightness was working properly
The screen was very low bright in the dark automatically and high bright in light
But now after i made update it is nit working
I am surprised that apple system is not stable
Please support

This is a user to user support forum and not Apple employees so it is best to not post your email address in an open discussion group.
Have you tried a reboot of the iPhone? Hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
My iPhone went to full brightness all the time after updating to iOS 6.1.3. A reboot seems to have helped make it work as it should. Also check Settings > Brightness and Wallpaper and see how it is set, reduce the brightness level it is too bright for you.

While updating iPad operating system to 8.1 stuck on Terms

While updating to iOS 8.1 on my iPad (My iPad is model A1459. Don't know if it's an iPad or iPad 2. It's just over a yer old), it froze on Terms & Conditions and is not responding when I press: "agree." I can't close it or use the iPad at ALL now! When I turn it off and on again, it comes back to the same frozen page after I enter my PIN. I had about 98% battery when I started, so didn't plug it in. I still have 91% battery. Now I plugged it in to see if it would help, but it didn't. What do I do? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

In case anyone else has this problem, my Nefew helped me fix it. I pressed & held the "home" and "power" buttons to reset it. I had to do it twice. But then it started working again, thank God!
