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).

HT4623 How I can upgrade my iPad (iOS 3.2.2) to iOS 4.0.0 or later ?

How I can upgrade my iPad (iOS 3.2.2) to iOS 4.0.0 or later ?
I'm from Indonesia. I have my iPad (the first version) from 2 years ago. Now I have a trouble to download some apps in App Store just because of the requirements doesn't support for my iPad. Nowadays most of apps are need iOS 4.0.0 or iOS 5.0.0. Please help me to upgrade my iPad (iOS 3.2.2) to iOS 4.0.0 or later ??? I have no idea. Thank you.

You can only update to the current version (i.e. 5.1.1) as that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple.
You will need the latest version of iTunes on your computer - you can check if you are up-to-date via, on a PC, 'Help > Check For Updates'.
When you have that installed, connect the iPad to your computer and on your computer's iTunes copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

I have just upgraded my iPad to ios6 and iTunes is now in Spanish - I am on holiday in Spain. I have also updated my iPhone but iTunes is still in English, can anybody help me get English back on my iPad

I had the exact same issue with mine. But I'm in Mexico. It was forcing me to use iTunes in Spanish even though my account is in the US. I turned my iPad off, then on again, and presto! My iTunes is back into English and my account is recognized again.
