Did you actually read the entire article from the website that linked you to here?
You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
From iOS 4 or lower - Here are the instructions.

More instructions here - for all iOS versions.

Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update

    Thanks -  I would rather not upgrade to snow leopard.  Is there a way to revert from IOS 7.0?
    What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
    Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard, if you can?
    NO. There is no way to downgrade your iPhone OS back to iOS6. Apple makes downgrades of their mobile OS not possible.
    If you can, the only thing you can do is upgrade your Mac's OS X operating system.
    Sorry,

  • Is there some way to instruct iTunes to not check for updates of one of my apps?

    2nd gen ipod touch running 4.2.1 (which is the highest availble for that generation).
    I have a free weather app that just came out with an update. This new version requires at least 4.3.
    Since I have the older version of the app, iTunes notifies me of the update, which is not going to work on my ipod. (Actually I downloaded it anyway just to confirm that it wouldn't work, and sure enough, it didn't even want to start).
    So now that I have deleted that version and reloaded the old one, will I be stuck with that number 1 next to the Apps icon for ever more? Is there some way I can instruct iTunes to not check for updates of that app? Or is there some other solution that isn't apparent to me?

    You get all the new iWork suite (Pages 5, Numbers 3 & Keynote 6) free with your Mac purchase. You just need to go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple I.D.
    We warn against relying on the new iWork Apps, they really are just public betas and we are getting a number of users here with unopenable files. Bad news if this is your Masters.
    iWork '09 can be purchased as a Boxed DVD set from Amazon US$27, or online.
    It is much more usable and safer (not totally).
    LibreOffice [free] does not have as polished a UI but is actively supported, and uses open file formats as well as MsOffice formats. It also has the advantage of opening/saving virtually every known format on the planet (wish it would do Pages!) and has a usable but not briliant intgrated database.

  • Windows update could not check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.

    I restarted my computer but still have this issue.
    I changed the setting from "install updates automatically"  to "never check for updates". clicked ok and then changed back to "install updates automatically". Tried to check for updates and still receive the same error.
    Windows defender was turned off. I turned it on updated it but still receive the same error message.
    The background intelligent transfer service and windows update are set to "automatic delayed start" and the status for both is "started".

  • Not checking for updates

    Macbook pro late 2013 OSX Yosemite 10.10.3
    Hi
    I have Preference settings App Store enable for all auto updates.
    Despite that i see every time i open app store i have over 8 updates to install, more over from 1 week ago. I think app store is not auto checking for updates.
    Most of updates are from iMovies, Xcode...
    Thanks

    HI,
    So you will want to check your Preferences for App Store in System Preferences.
    make sure the Install App updates option is checked

  • New iPad not eligible for update

    When I try to update the ios I get an error message that my new iPad is not eligible to update to iOS 5.1.1. I have tried all the suggested remedies ... any ideas?

    I have tried all of the suggested remedies and still strike out. When I go to /private/etc  then hosts I see that there is no hashtag in front of the ip address second from bottom 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com   When I attempt to modify it by copying it on the desktop, putting the hashtag and then when I attempt to replace through authentication I get the message that I cannot complete the operation becasue the file hosts is in use. So, I am stuck again. Any other suggestions?

  • Firefox insists on freezing computer while checking for updates I have said not to check

    Firefox repeatedly checks for updates of disabled addons. I have DO NOT CHECK FOR UPDATES enabled, but . . . WTF FF ignores my options as if they weren't entered. I've done all I can.
    I'm pretty tired of trying to open FF and being delayed while FF pleasures itself at my expense.

    Yes, the Intex website does say that the phone has v1.3 installed. (http://www.intexmobile.in/product_detail.aspx?PID=191&PCatID=3#)
    But in the settings it says that the software version installed is '''Intex_cloud_FX_V07''', and the update channel is '''release-spreadtrum'''. Does it mean the Intex uses its customized version of the OS? If so, how do I switch to the ''un-customized'' version.

    The search bar can be very valuable...........
    In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad?  If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........
