I am trying to update my iPad 1 to the 5.1 version so I hooked it up ajd I click update and it just says cannot find a server please check your network settings or try again later what should I do

See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - 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.
 Cheers, Tom

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.

Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.

I get the same problem running the diagnostics. Says network connections are present and in the green, but unable to connect to iTunes Store.

I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it. There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab. I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted. It didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?

When I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later."

I am trying to updated iTunes on my PC so I can sync my songs onto my iPhone 5, but when I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later." My internet connection is fine and I've tried mutiple times to update it.

That one can sometimes be produced by LSP trouble:
I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

The iPad update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later.

Cant update my sons ipad 2 to ios 5. We got it at christmas and have not been able to update it. Keep getting the ipad update server could not be contacted. check your internet connections or try again later. I have tried turning off my firewall and tried at all times of the day or night. Im using windows 7 on my PC.

The only other thing that I can think of to try is to restart everything. Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again.
Here is an article about troubleshooting iPad updating issues. It could be some other security settings that you have that are blocking the update from proceeding. There are a number of things that are discussed in this support article. Check it out and see if there is anything in it that you can try.
