If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

How do I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, I tried going to settings,general ,software update but I can't seem to find the software update button pls help :)
Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running. If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button. It was added when iOS 5 came out. The current iOS is 5.1.1. To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes. Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward. Make sure you have a lot of time. Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.
This link will provide the guidance you need:

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I have an iPhone 4, and I go to Settings, General, Software Update, and it says iOS 5.1.1 and I tap on the Install Now, and Agree, then i get the verifying update, and then it says "unable to install update, an error occured installing iOS 5.1.1
I have exactly the same problem. iPhone 4S, never been jailbroken. Not behind a firewall and it happens whether I am on my home compute (iTunes) or directly thru Settings_Update.
Looks like loads of people are having the same problem - and as far as I can see, Apple's sole reply is jailbreak or behind firewall/ security settings/anti-virus. None of those apply here! -
I'm trying to update my ipod iOS...when it says to go into "Settings/General/Software Update", I don't have a "Software Update" option in my General category. Is there somewhere else I need to look in order to get iOS updates?
Updating from the ipod itself is a feature of ios 5 or later.
You would need to update as always. Turn on computer, open itunes, connect ipod.
The first gen ipod will only go to 3.1.3 -
my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings > General > Software Update ...... NOT THERE
No. It doesn't. That is only present if you are already running iOS 5 or higher.
Since the iPhone 3G can NOT run anything higher than 4.2.1, you will never see it on that phone. -
hi. Can someone please help me how to update the iOS version of my iphone 3gs. Thankyou. Software update is not available in settings.
Over the air updating of iOS needs iOS 5 or later so unless you have iOS 5 or later you will not see updating in setting

You should try again later, the servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work. -
