How do i get iOS updates for my ipad? I never received an automatic update for it.

how do i get iOS updates for my ipad? I never received an automatic update for it.

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.

HT4623 How do I get the latest IOS update for my iPad 1st generation model# MB294LL?

I have a 1st generation iPad that has a very outdated IOS version due to I forgot how to update. I do not have the update option in my setting menu like you find in newer iPads. Any suggestion?

See the section on Updating Using iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
Note: the highest version of iOS the original iPad can support is iOS 5.1.1

ITtunes doesn't offer new iOS updates for my iPad 2.

Although I manually checked with the Update button, it states that my iOS 4.3.5 is on the actual state. Any hints?

See if the below helps:
Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your device. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
Mac OS X

After downloading the latest update, IOS.8 , for my IPad the Backup and Storage option under settings is no longer there

The iCloud backup option has moved - it's now Settings > iCloud > Backup (it's towards the bottom of the list of items to back e.g. photos, mail, contacts, calendars ... Backup, Keychain, Find My iPad).
The storage option is Settings > iCloud > Storage (above the list of items to back up)

After downloading the new update ios 6 for the iPad , I can not find the YouTube app

After downloading the new update ios 6 for the iPad , I can not find the YouTube app. Is there a way to get the YouTube app back?

It's now not part of iOS 6. However, you can download the YouTube app at http://itunes.apple.com/app/youtube/id544007664.

Is there going to be a new update for the iPad 1 because a lot of game requires iOS 6.0

There has to be a new update for the iPad 1

Probably not, except to fix security holes; any such updates will not allow the device to run applications which require iOS 6.

HT5808 I have an original iPad and there have been no recent iOS updates for it. Am I vulnerable to the recent SSL security issues? Is my iPad safe to use?

You are OK. The fix is not necessary in iOS 5.1.1.

Befor did an update to i-tunes 10 as it was advised. Please HELP ! Another thing - why it happend ? I think that Apple is totaly responsible for this and where they are ? I even can't send them an e-mail ? What type of company it is ?

Yes, Apple has caused people to go through massive panic, anxiety and wasted time by not coming out and telling us about this problem. They must know about it. How can we tell them? Now I understand why it took me 50 tries to upgrade to OS5. We all got the same crazy errors that caused us to reinstall iTunes, turn off our firewalls, buy new USB cables and basically waste tons of time and energy, when the solution was very simple. Plug your device into a USB port on your computer.
After years of using a peripheral USB hub successfully it's no wonder we all started freaking out and thinking it was a major problem. Yes, I'm blowing off some steam, but I've been an Apple fanatic for a long time and I'm not happy about their lack of response to this issue.

After finding out that iOS 6 won't be alvailible for iPad 1 I have to ask, is there going to be any updates for the iPad one? It's kinda ridicules if our devices just stop being upgraded after two years......

I was quite disappointed when I read their will be no iOS 6 for first gen iPads and am curious as to if they are gonna just stop upgrading it all together, cause if so that's a bit crazy after two years they pretty much just drop the product?? What I want to know is, is there going to be any more updates for the iPad one at all, to update the security features browsing and stuff like that (not all the fancy FaceTime or seri and what not just the basic iPad 1 stuff)? Cause if not that's is a MAJOR waist of money. $800 for two years of use???

While none of us here can say with certainly, it's likely that iOS 5.1.1 is the last version of iOS that an iPad 1 will run.
As to a "waste of money", has your iPad stopped working just because a new version of iOS was released that the iPad won't run? Our iPad 1s haven't just ceased fallen over, even though they can only run iOS 5.1.1, and are in valuable use every day. But perhaps yours did indeed somehow stop being useful. If so, I'd recommend selling it and buying something else that you think would better suit your expectations.

Why didn't my ios 6 update for my ipad 2 not come with siri?

Why didn't my ios 6 update for my ipad 2 not come with siri?

Siri is iPad 3+. The 1 and 2 most likely lack the hardware to make the software work properly

Is there going to be an iOS 6 update for the iPad 1. If not, why

No IOS 6 for iPad 1 the hard where it. Has is too old
So no IOS 6 for iPad 1

I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

If you mean Siri then that is only on the iPad 3, it is not on the iPad 2 in iOS 6 (possibly because the iPad 2 doesn't have the Audience chip which the iPad 3 does). If there are other things that you think are missing (YouTube has been removed, and Passbooks is iPhone and iPod Touch only) ?

I downloaded the latest update for my ipad and now it won't open. the screen shows the itunes icon and a pic of the usb cable

That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.

Since the latest IOS update, my new iPad Air is freezing and glitching badly. Typing is delayed.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
