How do I update my Ipad to IOS5?
How do you locate the type of operating system installed?
Thank you

Settings>General>About>Version. That is where you find the iOS that you are running.
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad name on the left, then click on the Summary tab on the right and click on Check for Update.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

HT4972 How do I erase my iPad then update to ios5

How do I erase my iPad then update to ios5 anyone pls, I was trying to update to ios5, and was ask to erase then update.

I think that maybe you misunderstood. iTunes will erase the device for you as part of the update process. You so not have to do it on your own.
This is copied from the Apple site about updating to iOS 5.
As part of the update and restore process, iTunes will (in order):
Back up key elements of your device, such as settings, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, and your Camera Roll1. iTunes will not, however, back up media content from your iOS device, such as music, apps, books, movies, and TV shows.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS software.
Restore your device from your most recent backup.
Restart your device.
Sync back media content from your iTunes Library to your device2.
Read the summary in the upper left part of this web page. It is copied below.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Summary
To update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from iOS 4 to iOS 5 or later, you must erase and restore your device first, before completing the update.

HT4972 I need to update my iPad 1 to ioS5 how do I get this update?

How do I update my iPad 1 to ioS5 or later?

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.

I have updated my Ipad 2 to ios5 and now don't have a calendar on my ipad but the calendar is still ok on my iphone and imac

Today I updated my iPad 2 to IOS5 and now I don't have a calendar on my iPad but it is still on my iPhone and iMac. Can anyone help me please?

Hey there johnnyb141,
It sounds like you are are connected to your cellular network but cannot get cellular data to work when trying to surf the internet with Safari. First I would check in the Settings to see if Cellular data is enabled, or if Safari is disabled in the Cellular settings:
For the following options, go to Settings > Cellular Data and turn the options on or off, or follow the onscreen instructions.
Turn Cellular Data on or off. If Cellular Data is off, all data services will use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing, push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may be incurred. For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Messages, could result in charges to your data plan.
From: iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPadbfe780eb
If it is turned on, and Safari is enabled, I would next try the troubleshooting in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

IPad 2 and ios5 update problem(stuck in recovery mode)

Hi,
I have been trying to upgrade to ios 5 on my ipad2 and have had a couple of failures (the same as most people have had).
i tried running it once more and it went beyond the validating install with apple part and then i recieved and error code 3004 and my ipad is now stuck in
recovery mode,all i have on my screen is the itunes logo and usb cable.
In itunes it only gives me an option of restoring to factory settings. if i look in itunes preferences and backups it gives my last one as 18.33 but it isnt there
i really am at a loss as to what to do next.
Any help will be gratefully recieved Regards Adrian

Here's how I fixed this on my MacBook Pro.
With your device connected, in iTunes, Option-click the Restore button.
You'll be asked to select the file to use to Restore. Go To Folder (Command-Shift-G): ~/Library/iTunes/
then into the proper "XYZ Software Updates" folder ("iPad Software Updates" for example), you'll find the file to use to update.
If you have more than one, select the one that ends with "5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw".
This resolved the "internal error occurred" I had with my iPad 2.
Make sure you read the warnings that pop up during the process; this will remove everything you have on your device, so you'll need a working backup, or a way to sync your data.
Good luck.

Updated to ios5. - backed up iPad before update but

Back Ed up my iPad before updating toIOS5 today. Problem: After all the Rigamorole was over, my library of 46 books is not on the iPad but is still in the backup library. How do I get them on the iPad. Only reason I bought the blooming machine was for the e-books.

Are the books on you computer' iTunes (did you copy them over via File > Transfrer Puchases ?) - if they are then you can sync them back to the iPad. If they aren't then you can re-download book purchases from Apple for free, as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

HT4972 Why can't I update ios5 on iPad

I can't update ios5 to iPad

See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

My iPad first gen (iOS5.1.1) won't connect to my home WiFi suddenly. It's worked fine for years but just stopped. All other devices do connect to the WiFi. Now, the iPad does connect to the WiFi at my workplace. Ideas on this?

My iPad (first generation iOS5.1.1.1) quit connecting to my home WiFi recently after years of being able to. All other devices in my home connect fine. I have taken every step I can find to try and remedy things including restoring my iPad to factory settings. Still nothing - when it tries to connect to my network it just spins. I took my iPad to work and it connected to the WiFi there just fine. Came back home, no good. After talking with my local Mac supplier they've suggested that maybe my router is the cause. I've unplugged it several times for lengths of up to an hour but that still isn't getting things working again. Any ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
