HT4972 How do I update the ipad 2.5

Hi There!!!! how can I update my daughter's Ipad when there is no softw update selection.... I took it back to Bestbuy and they told me that i just needed to plug it into my computer and i did so and there is still no spot for the update! What can i do to change that she has has it since the first day it came out a couple years ago so it hasnt been updated since.... the model number is A1395. Thank you....

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.

I cannot update my iPad and notes it cannot be updated due to unknown error (6). I have not yet updated my Macbook to Yosemite (which I do not intend to do so yet) so would this be the problem and if so, how can I update the iPad?

How do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

how do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1.1 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

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).

HT4972 How do I update my iPad 1 running iOS 4.3.1 to iOS 5 or better?

HT4972 doesn't really explain what to do. It says first I must erase everything, but it doesn't say how I do this. Then it doesn't say what I would do after erasing everything. Please explain explicitly, step by step, as if you were explaining to a not very smart child.

Connect to itunes, and on the info tab, click the option to check for upgrade. If there is no choice, then your device cannot be upgraded.

HT4972 How does one update their iPad to iOS5 without losing prior Apps, notes & content?

Need to update to iOS5 or iOS6 put upon doing so, it stated it will erase all my Apps and Content. I have a years worth of notes in Note Taker HD.......do not want to lose.....any options?

Well, I'm going to go scour the internet for a while and see what kind of tools I can find. I'll come back with a solution eventually, but this is something that apple needs to take care of. To date, the most frightening and inconvinient processes ever performed with apple products are the iTunes sync and upgrade processes. I find it wrong that I would ever have to void my own warranty to deal with something so simple and so common.
Don't get me wrong, I love apple, more than anything, but this is their one big mess up. I pray they figure it out soon.
I'll be back later.
