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.

Note - Your profile shows iOS 6.1.4. iOS 6.1.4 is only for the iPhone. The max for the iPad is 6.1.3.

  • HT4623 i am using iphone 4 running on ios 6 but i could not see an software update option in my settings ....please can u help

    i am not able to see software update option in my settings     
    i am using iphone4 ruuning on ios 6.0.1

    Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update.  You must update using iTunes on your computer.
    Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes.  Let it sync.  Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes.  That should od it for you.

  • Do I need to visit the Apple store since I do Not see the software update line, after going into setting?

    Cannot locate the software update line, after going into settIngs on my IPad2. Did I miss something?
    Help, need to upgrade to a minimum of IOS5
    THANKS

    You only have the option of you are already running iOS 5 already. If you are trying to update to iOS 5, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
    Here are the instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
    You will only be able to update to iOS 6 now.

  • After HDD Upgrade and Restore from TM, Not Seeing critical Software Updates

    I recently upgraded my Hard Drive from 250GB to 320GB (my bro had one laying around from another MBP). I restored from my TimeMachine Backup and everything went very smoothly.
    However, I now noticed that there are some issues:
    1) I am *still* running Safari 5.1.3, 5.1.4 was released weeks ago and it is not showing as an option to update in Software Updates.
    2) There is a very critical Java update that I really need to install that is *also* not showing up in the list of available Software Updates.
    3) When restoring from TM Backup, it doesn't create the Restore Partition automatically.
    I was able to fix Item 3 above by simply downloading and reinstalling Lion, nothing was bricked on my machine or files lost from my reinstalling.
    However I am at a loss as to how to fix Item 1 and 2 above.
    Any ideas? Apple Gurus?
    Thanks!

    Hi current:
    Yes it is. I tried it (as a test for myself) a couple of weeks ago. I admit I had a current bootable clone in case something went cuckoo.
    I made a current TM backup and then erased my internal HD. When I booted from my software install DVD, I was given the TM restore option. I did not reinstall OS X on my internal HD first.
    It worked perfectly for me, by the by.

  • HT1923 when i try to reinstall itunes it says that the older version of the apple software update cannot be removed, what should i do?

    I have tried to remove it myself and it says the parimeter is incorrect and it cannot be found. help!! i need itunes reinstalled.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

    I am trying to update to IOS5  but my IPad is not giving me the option to update. How can I get the update?

    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.
