To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later as said in the latter part of the article you cited.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows

A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How can one download the ios 6 onto the ipad 2 when there is no software updates under general settings? Do I need to reset network settings?
You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.

I can't update my iPad iOS from version 4.3, there is no software update menu in the settings panel
I can't seem to find a way to update the iOS version on my iPad. It is at version 4.3.3. There is no software update menu option on the settings screen. The apple download page does not let me update it from there either.
You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad and so you don't have Software Update in the Settings. 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. But .... If you are using the original iPad you can only update to iOS 5.1.1.

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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

My iPhone 4 does not allow me to update to ios5. There is no "software updates" listed under settings and general where this is usually found?
You will need to connect the iPhone to the computer and iTunes and update in that fashion. Since the OTA update ability was introduced in iOS 5, if your device has an iOS of less than iOS 5, you will have to do it that way. After updating, you will be able to do subsequent updates OTA.
Connect to iTunes, select the phone in the device pane and select update. Also, you will not be able to update to iOS 5, you can only update to the latest iOS, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 6.1.3. -

To update my Itunes to the 10.7 or later, it says I need to update my mac. When i go to update my mac, it says that there is not one available. How do I fix this?
What Mac OS X version do you have? You can go to > About this Mac and find the version. If you don't have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, you'll need to update to that and then your iTunes will update. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1400 <=== that is the link to purchase the 10.6.8 update
