Update IPad 2 to IOS 5.1?

Would like to Update my version 4.3.4 (8K21) on IPAD 2 to IOS 5.1. The Info I have found say to go to settings / general/ software update, but software Update does not show. How Can I update ?

You can only update directly on the iPad after you have iOS 5+ installed, until then you have to update via your computer's iTunes.

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.

Updating iPad 2 iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1

If I update my iPad 2 iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 from my iPad settings, would anything get deleted? Such as music, photos, and apps, because my laptop has a virus and I can't back up all my new data. Thanks for any help. :)

The safest way to update is on the device and not through iTunes.

AirPrint has stopped working since updating iPad to iOS 7.02

Since updating our iPhones and iPads to iOS 7.02 we seem to have lost the ability to use AirPrint, nor can we connect to the scanner of our HP Photosmart 6510 using VueScan.
Is there a solution available now, or coming soon?

Run the setup CD again.
Setup a typical HP AirPrint Printer
1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.
2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.
3. You will be asked to connect printer to computer with USB cable
4. You will be ask how you want to connect to printer, select Network (Ethernet/Wireless) and then click Next.
5. Setup will access computer and router for wireless settings.
6. Setup will ask if you want to use wireless settings (SSID and Password) to setup printer. Select Yes and press Next.
7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.
8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.
9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint.

Not able to update IPad to IOS 3.2.2?

hi everyone,
today i bought an ipad 32 gb wifi + 3g (no sim card so far).
i connected the ipad to itunes and the sync went smoothly. however, when i try to update the ios (from 3.2.2) i constantly get an error message "unkown error 1631".
i would greatly appreciate if someone could let me know what the rpoblem is.
- does the ipad support ios4?
- is the 3g device the problem? i do not have a sim card so far, working via wireless lan.
kind regards,
alex

Hi, Alex. Welcome to the discussions. 3.2.2 is the latest version of iOS for iPad, so I'm not sure what you think you could update to? iOS 4 will be available for ipad next month. I wouldn't worry about the error unless you still get it when there's actually something to update.

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.
