Upgrade iPad to ios5 no upgrade option

I am trying to upgrade my iPad to ios5 but have no upgrade in general and also cannot connect to pc...?? All I have is wifi from my phone to get on the Internet, can I still upgrade just using my iPhone 5 ??
Need to upgrade IPad as limited hope u can help me...... Was going to book appt @ meadow hall but saying no appts???

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.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • HT4623 I'm trying to upgrade iPad to ios5. It tells me to go to settings, general,then hit software upgrade. But under general their is no software upgrade?

    You cannot do that until you upgrade to iOS 5 or later. See:

  • I upgraded ipad to iOS5 and now it requires a passcode. My password no longer works.

    I upgraded my Ipad to iOS5 and I now have a screen asking for a passcode.  I type in the passcode and I get an error message.  What do I do?

    No idea what "tried everything" means.
    Here is how you troubleshoot a password problem.
    Go to your email providers web mail page and verify that you have a working username and password by logging into your account there. If you cannot log in there, look for the link to reset your password. Your email password is administered with your email provider.
    Once you have a working password you need to remove any stored passwords in Thunderbird and replace with the new, working password.
    From the menu bar select''' Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Stored Passwords'''
    Remove the passwords for the problem account. Close Thunderbird and restart it. You will be asked for a password. Enter the new password.
    No menu bar with Tools? Press the '''alt '''key.
    FYI: Thunderbird settings are stored in a different file from the program. Removing the program and reinstalling just keeps you busy for a little while and rarely fixes anything. As you have seen the old settings are picked up when Thunderbird is reinstalled.

  • HT4623 Trying to upgrade iPad from ios5 to ios6.  Yet software upgrade button says "all up to date, ios5."

    How do I get the latest software om the device?  The software upgrade button does not show ios6 as available.  It shows ios5 as current.

    The first generation iPad is incapable of running iOS 6.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore.  Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines.  None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.

  • Hi guys I have a iPad 2 I recently upgraded it from iOS5 to ios7. Since then it only uses the 8ta network but in the top left hand corner it says no service with 3G next to it how am I able to fix this? Could it be a hardware problem?

    Since I upgraded my iPad from iOS5 to ios7 my iPad will only work on one network.
    However in the top left hand corner is says no service with 3G next to it.
    I took it to Apple istore in clearwater mall and they couldn't help me.
    Please advise me on how to sort the problem out.
    Kind Regards

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? error 1

    Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? I get an unknown error 1 message. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Something happened during the download and froze iTunes. After spending three days searching these forums with the dead iPad, the only thing I got to work was to try downloading iOS 5 using my sons computer. This worked. However I cannot now get my computer's iTunes to sync with my iPad.. It contains the same error message (1602) and has the same problem as before. It is not an antivirus problem. I need some help too
