Q: iPad 2 update

I Have the exact same problem with my iPad mini, .trying to install latest update, but saying I'm not connected to Internet, which I am as my iPhone 6s was fine when I updated Just now. 

Apple has temporarily removed the iOS 9.3 update for older devices to deal with some issues it was creating. Best to wait a few days for them to rectify the issues.

TThanks for that bit of info.  I was wondering why I couldn't update.  Will try again in a few days.

Apple has pulled the iOS 9.3 update for some devices (iPad Airs and before, iPhone 5s and before) due to problems with activation. You will not be able to update until a fix is issued. I recommend waiting a while before trying again.

See this article for details.

So many people are having problems with the update to iOS 9.3 and the questions are flooding the iOS support forums now. I am hoping that by consolidating some of the information available, it will help some of you without starting hundreds of new threads all asking about the same things.

Please do not shoot the messenger if you already know all of this. I am just trying to help by providing some information To the community. Theses problems are well known, Apple has acknowledged them and is reportedly working on a fix that should be out soon.

Here are some tech site articles that explain the problems if any of you are interested in reading them. They are in no particular order other than what my most recent Google search turned up for me.

Apple posted these support articles a couple of days ago and they might help some of you as well

If you can't activate your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch after installing iOS 9.3 - Apple Support

If you can’t activate your iPad 2 (GSM model) after you update to iOS 9.3 - Apple Support

If nothing suggested works for you right now, you will just have to be patient (remember that "please don't shoot the messenger" thing from above ) and wait until Apple issues the fixed software update.
