You cannot. 5.1.1 is as far as you go with the original iPad. The hardware is not up to running iOS 7.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    What did iTunes Support say when you contacted them ? If it's been more than 48 hours since you contacted them and you haven't had a reply then contact them again.
    If you haven't yet contacted them, then to do so :
    - go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
    - click on your country's flag
    - click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
    - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    - then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I can not update my iPad to the newer version of iOS

    I Could update my iPad to iOS 8, but now I cannot update to version 8.0.2

    Hello hcabbani,
    If you are having issues updating your iPad, try a different method. For example, If you are using the over the air update, then try it through iTunes or vice versa. Check out the article below for more information.

  • HT4972 I can't update my ipad from my PC.  It keeps saying "update server could not be contacted".  I've checked my connections and everything is fine.  What can I do?

    Hello.  I've tried to update my iPad, but iTunes keep saying that "update server could not be contacted".  My iPad does not have the option of wireless software update.  Please, help!

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and/or anti-virus software on the computer. You could also try logging out and back in to your itunes/AppleID account.

  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to iOS 5?

    Why I can't update my iPad o iOS 5?

    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is 7.0.4
    What happens when you follow the instructions on the page that you posted from ?
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. 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 via File > Devices > Back Up.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update

    Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update.please help

    If you have an iPad 1G you cannot run iOS 7. If you are currently using iOS 4.x.x then you cannot upgrade OTA. Instead do this:
    Give this a try:
    Download Apple – iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.

  • How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.
