Upgrading original iPad to ios 5

I want to upgrade my original iPad to the new IOS 5 Operating System. Can not find instructions on how to do it. I have my iPad connected to my Mac but don't know where to do from here.... can someone help. Thanks!

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

HT4972 I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.1 and now Safari doesn't work.

I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.1 and now Safari doesn't work and keeps bombing out. I've tried restoring the iPad to the original configuration but this is clearly not restoring the iPad back to the original factory default!! Help !! I have the original v1 iPad. I wish I had never upgraded the IOS now !

1. Double-click the Home button to show the Task Bar
2. Hold the Safari icon down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close Safari

After upgrading my ipad to ios 7, text messaging doesn't work

Assuming you have Messages on. You can try two things the first is a simpler than the second. Go to this site https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, click on Manage your ID, log in and check if your Apple ID for your Messages and FaceTime apps is the the same as your primary email address. When I went there I saw a message that I should make them the same, for some reason they weren't, after I clicked on the submit to make them the same I haven't had any problem with either. Previously I kept getting signed out of both and had to constantly reenter my password to get them working. Quite a few times they wouldn't connect at all.
The second thing you can try is in Settings - General - Reset, and reset all settings. You will then have to reenter a lot of information such as account user names and passwords but this seemed to correct things for a lot of people. The first option is easier and worked for me so I'd give it a try.

I upgraded my ipad to iOS 5.1. However, my Youtube favorites are missing. These are favorites saved on the iPad, not on the youtube account.

I upgraded my iPad to iOS 5.1. Afterwards, my Youtube favorites are missing. These are favorites saved on the iPad and not linked to a Youtube account.
I have tried restarting the iPad several times to no avail. The favorites seems to be still on the iPad, since when I try to add a video that used to be on the list, that option is greyed out indicating that the computer knows that this is a favorite video.

The problems reported here occurred right after updating to iOS according to the users as TD mentioned.
It's a compatibility problem between iPhoto and iOS6 that the only workaround would be to possibly batch change the date of the photos in iPhoto . Therefore we'll have to wait for it to be fixed with either an iPhoto update or an iOS update, which ever Apple feels is the proper item to to be changed.
If they update iPhoto first (which is probably what they'll do) it'll be called an iPhoto problem.

I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications

I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications.
The applications appear in the screen, but when I tap on any one of them, they do not open.
Can some one tell me what to do to be able to use my application again?

Sorry, I'm reposting this because of spelling error in my previous post (I must turn that 'auto-correct' off).
Since I posted my questions, the only thing I figured out was to turn the 'iCloud' in the Settings on and now the plus sign is on and all my previous appointments appeared. While this is a solution, what if I don't want to use iCloud? But I'm happy for now that my Calendar works.

Why cant i update my original ipad to ios 6?

Why can't I update my original iPad to IOS 6?

... and by the way it's not only older iPads that do not support iOS 6. The original iPhone, iPhone 3G (second generation iPhone), and many iPods do not support it either.
And, as this article shows, newer but not very new generations (e.g., iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4) support some but not all features. Here's more detail:

You can only update to the latest iOS which currently is iOS 5.1.1.
Connect your iPad to your computer and follow the prompts. If iTunes is not the latest version then you will be prompted to update that first. The same will then apply to your iPad. It will automatically do a backup unless you tell it otherwise and y will be prompted to restore from that backp in the latter part of the process.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

This is a concern amoung many corporate users. It's going to take somekind of policy change with apple.

HT4623 I upgraded my ipad to ios 7 and it's one requesting a passcode have no idea what it is because I never had a passcode. Tried to connect to iTunes on my mac but still won't work

I upgraded my ipad to ios 7 and now it's asking for a passcode. Have no idea what to enter because I never needed a passcode. Connected it to iTunes on my mac but still doesn't work

Hi Lmprettyman,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article has more information on passcode lock and how to return your iPod to working order:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
All the best,
Jeremy
