HT5278 Why can I update iOS on my iPad 1

How can I update my iOS to 5.1

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device.

  • HT4623 How can I update iOS 5 on iPad 2?

    I want to update iOS 5 on my iPad2 and I've read the article about it. There was written go in settings>general>software update in my ipad2 there isn't such button "Software Update" there is only "about" and "usage" so, what can I do?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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 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.

  • HT4137 I can't update iOS on my ipad

    Please can someone explain where I'm going wrong. I have an iPad 2 and I am trying to update the iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad but in my settings - general I don't have a software update in my tab like I do on my iPhone. Does anyone know what I can do to update software on my iPad? At the moment any apps I want to use or buy I can't use because I need to update iOS.
    Would be very grateful for any help.

    Hi the_mad_movies,
    It seems like this article will be the best option for addressing this issue:
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

  • How can I update iOS without losing my media?

    Hey guys, how can I update iOS without losing my media?
    I've been told to sign into iTunes on another computer, authorize the computer in iTunes, then sync my iDevice before updating iOS. When I attempted that I got a warning message from iTunes saying the content on my iDevice would be replaced with the content on the computer so I backed out. I don't have my computer with me and I'd really like to sync my iDevice with another computer so I can update my iDevice to iOS 5.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks.
