Updating iPad 2 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7 - how is iCloud affected?

My iPad 2 is running iOS 5.1.1 and I use iCloud for my contacts/calendar, etc. If I update to iOS 7, how to I ensure my iCloud accounts won't be affected?

"Ensure"?
The iCloud accounts should not be affected.
The best way to ensure against a catastrophe is to have a backup.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Updating iPad from iOS 4.3.2 to current OS

I have a set of ipad 2's for educational purposes. They haven't been updated in ages and are currently running iOS 4.3.2 (capacity says 29 GB with 28.7 available). I'm trying to update iOS, which requires connection to a computer. I'm using the iMac they were originally configured with (which is running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3, which it says is the latest).
When I plug in the ipads, they are recognized in iTunes. The screen says "A newer version of iPad software is available (Version 7.0). ..." but when I click the Update button next to that in iTunes, a message pops up that says "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." I've restarted the iMac, and iTunes, and the iPad. Same messages.
When I try to do Restore in iTunes, it processes for a while ("Extracting software") and then says "The iPad could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
But shouldn't an iPad 2 be able to handle an iOS upgrade? Maybe the issue is too many upgrades have gone by without these iPads being updated.
For what it's worth, I don't have any apps or data (files, media) on these iPads that I need. I'm happy to do a full reboot and get the iOS upgraded.
Any guidance is welcome. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help, which clarifies that a more recent version of iTunes is needed (and thus a more recent of OS on the iMac is needed). Because I have nothing that needs to be saved or backed up from the ipads. I've just connected them to a newer iMac running the latest OS and iTunes. And I'm then prompted to restore/update the ipads, which gives them the latest OS.
Thanks for helping.

HT4623 Update Ipad from a version before ios 5

How to update an iPad 2 from the iOS 4.3.3 to the newest one? Is there a way to do it without a computer?

The iOS 5 update must be installed from iTunes on a computer, as it introduced the capability to update further on the iPad itself.

HT5262 update ipad from 4.3.5 to ios6

Have ipad two trying to update from 4.3.5 to ios6 on comp in itunes but wont let me download any ideas ?

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).

Update iPad from beta 7 to the full release?

My iPad is saying that it is up to date in iTunes as well as the over the air Software Update section on the iPad itself. How do I get it to download and install the final release version of iOS5?

b7 won't go to PR...
You should have already downloaded the GM from the Dev Center, studied the release notes and followed the process - use the resources you paid for as a registered Developer. _If_ you're registered...

Error -5000 when trying to update ipad from 4.3

manual back completes ok....Should I continue with the update to 5.1.1 ?

i believe it is a result of a weak connection. maybe try it at someone else's place?

Updated iPad to ios5 I want window tabs back how can I get it back

How can I get window tabbing back. I updated to ios5 and do not lie the new tabs

Safari on iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing, thumbnail/page browsing is not possible. I think that the iCab Mobile browser supports thumbnail/pages browsing, or you could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future iOS version we'll get the choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
