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).

How do I download iOS updates in town to bring home?

How do I download iOS updates at the library in town so I can bring my MacBook Pro home and update all my household iOS devices?
And why does my iTunes show the iPhone update from 7.1. to 7.1.1 as a 1.22 Gb file and my nephew's iPhone shows it as about 22 Mb?
I live in a wonderful rural area of the Rocky Mountains and high speed Internet here is 1.5 Mb DSL, so downloading the complete update from scracth for all our household iOS devices is very time-consuming. Qwest, before they were bought by CenturyLink, believed that their provision of 1.5 Mb DSL was God's gift to us and we should be happy. I want the REA equivalent passed for the Internet and require all those gouging telecomm companies to get on the stick with broadband to rural areas so we're not so in the dark out here.

You can't. The downloads are different for each different device.

The file that you would download in iTunes is the full and complete iOS 7.1.1 update. The OTA update using WiFi is an incremental update and therefore is much, much smaller than the whole update as you can see. You would be much better off taking your devices to the library where you can have free WiFi and download the updates for all device OTA.
I just finished updating my iPad 3 and my iPhone 5S at home over WiFi and it took a total of about 15 minutes for both devices.

HT1414 How do I download iOS 5 Software update?

Please how do I download iOS 5 Software update if I'm not ready to update via iTunes?

I have a job, so I don't hang your every word as soon as you post a reply to a thread in which I've participated. Now I've read your other post correcting the fact that I put 6.0.2 as the latest version of iPhone software I won't refer to the version specifically any more.
So, is iOS 5 available for download?
I find you very aggresive in your approach and if it continues, I will more than likely only ask questions on here rather than trying to assist others.
I have better things to do and I'm just trying to help.

I currently do not have a laptop or CPU. How do I download iOS 6 to my iPad 2?

If your iPad 2 has iOS 5 currently, you can download over-the-air.
Make sure your iPad is either plugged in or very well charged. Then go to Settings > General > Software Update.

How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad?

I want to download IOS 7 for my IPad. I would like to do this through my computer so I do not have to remove my apps. However, when I go into updates in my iTunes, the only selection I get is IOS 8. I do not want to use IOS 8 until it is fixed. So the question is... How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad through my computer?

You can't.
There is no longer iOS 7 available and no longer anyway to obtain or download it.
The current iOS version is iOS 8.0.2.
I would NOT advise updating your iPad at this time.
iOS 8, IMO, is still plenty buggy and NOT ready for older iPad 2 and 3 devices, as yet.
DO NOT UPDATE!
I would suggest waiting it out until, at least iOS 8.1 is, eventually, released.

How do I download iOS 5.0 on iPad 1?

How can I download iOS 5.0 for iPad 1? When I try to do so, plugging a USB chord into the iPad and my Mac laptop, I do not see the iPad symbol in the Mac's lefthand column (which was the supposed step needed to find and click on an update link). Without iOs 5.0 I can't update certain apps that require it, e.g., Pages and iWriter. Can anyone help?

Your iPad is not being recognized in iTunes. Try restarting the Mac and the iPad and then connect again and see if the iPad is recognized.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If still no luck, start here.

You must be running iTunes 10.5 on the Mac as well in order to update the iPad to iOS 5. If you haven't updated to 10.5, download and install iTunes 10.5 and that may help with the iPad being recognized as well.

How should I download iOS 8 for my iPhone 5s?

How should I download iOS 8 for my iPhone 5s?

If you typically sync your iPhone to a Computer with iTunes than that would be a good first place to start. As you would know, once your iPhone is connected via the lightning / USB cable to the Computer and iTunes is open you can click on the box that says "iPhone" and you will go to the Summary page on the computer screen and it will say that iOS 8 is available. Just click to Update. After a few seconds it should give you an estimated time to complete the Download (but not the time of the complete install process). Alternately you could just go on your iPhone 5s to Settings>General>Software Update and see if it says iOS 8 is Available to Install. Click to Update and just set the iPhone down in front of you and watch as it goes through the process. Either way should work fine.
