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.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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).

I am trying to install iOs 5.1 on myiPad but when I go to 'General' to 'Settings' the link 'Software update' is not visible. Any advice would be welcome.
This feature is only available on iOS 5 or later. You must still be running iOS 4. Connect your iPad to the computer you usually sync with and run iTunes software update.

How can I update my iPhone,when I go into settings and click on general something should pop up between usage and about that says up but it does not and my iPhone needs to be updated.
If you don't have the update option on your phone, you will need to update in iTunes on your computer.

How can I make my ipad work again please help
Hi I bought my iPad last year and it's been working fine. Today I was just going through the settings and it said there was a software update for IOS7 so I agreed to have it done, but I had no idea it was going to take so long (would be nice if they gave a heads up). I had to use my ipad for timely purposes so after a couple of minutes and what looked like only 2% complete, I tried to stop it and the only way was to turn off the device (no option to pause or stop!).
Now when I turned it back on it says I have to sync it to iTunes and won't go to any other screen. I synced it to iTunes (first time since I purchased it and my Cloud's memory has been full for months so I have no backup whatsoever of anything on my ipad - pictures, email etc. When I sync it up to iTunes it says that it detects a systems update in progress and I cannot continue until it is completed, would i like to continue. I thought I guess that's my only option so I said ok, but unlike when I did it wirelessly unsynced to iTunes earlier, now it is giving a warning that it will return my iPad to factory settings and erase anything I have on it when it completes installing the software!! No thank you!!!! Wish I had that warning the first time around, I have a year's worth of information stored on there that I do not want deleted.
Somebody please help, how can I get my iPad back to how it was before and stop this update nonsense ASAP??? What a way to ruin my Sunday Please help anybody who can.... Thank you. (and I don't see an option to back it up it just goes to the page to update the device in order to do anything else). Surely there must be a way!! Anybody??From your description it seems that you have to upgrade to iOS 7 now.
No one can say what state your iPad is in since you interrupted a very critical process!
It is perfectly normal that your iPad's contents are erased during the upgrade process.
All your data will be restored afterwards, if, and only if you have a recent backup of your iPad!
To restore your backup from iCloud follow these instructions:

I reset my ipad from my phone. When I got home I tried to wipe out my ipad so I could reload it but it just kept showing the little circle in the middle. I tried the rest by holding both buttons down which did start the ipad over again. But with in a minute it would start circling again evertime. .
It is a formatting issue. They are not totally compatible.

That's because your phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it. It is now a brick. Buy a new phone.

Using I Pod NANO. Installed I Tunes on Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit.
Software works fine. Only problem is that I can't open up the
Store page from in the software. It just shows a blank screen.
Looks like it starts but then just freezes.
IT department worked all day. Reloaded software, set up
security, checked msconfig files. Tried all sorts or revissions.
Nothing works? Yet it works fine on my Windows 7 Home edition?
ANYONE have a clue. This Apple software is not the friendliest!!
This is very frustrating for something so simple to use!
This used to work. Upgraded to 10.3.3.. No good. Tried other revisions,
No Good! Can't purchase music or have the website fully pull up at all
from I Tunes.
Appreciate any help if some has been through this. My service that
I have for IT had to give up. 6 hours of things they tried. Nothing worked.You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day! -
I am trying to restore my nano to get my kids' chipmunk and beiber music off and it replys that it cant because files are being used.....what do i need to do???
First and foremost, just say no to Beiber
First, close all open apps on your computer and restart your computer. Open only iTunes when it restarts.
Then, I would reset your iPod, probably not needed but I would do it any way. Hold the sleep/wake button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears. Wait for it to completely start up to where it is ready to use.
Now try and restore. If the iPod was synced with your own computer to put the music on, you can use it to remove it. Usually that is preferred instead of restoring. -

How do I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, I tried going to settings,general ,software update but I can't seem to find the software update button pls help :)
Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running. If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button. It was added when iOS 5 came out. The current iOS is 5.1.1. To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes. Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward. Make sure you have a lot of time. Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.
This link will provide the guidance you need:
