    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.

    If it’s a first generation iPad, it can’t be updated, but you may be able to get the application by downloading it on a computer or newer iOS device and then following these instructions.

    If it’s a newer one, use the Software Update function or update it from iTunes on a computer.
