Problem with updating ipad os

I don't seem to be able to update my ipad os from 10.3.3. to a new version. It has not automatically updated, and I don't seem to be able to manually update. Because of that, I cannot update my version of Outlook.


iPad, iOS 10

You might be unable to update your iPhone for one of these reasons. 

  • Not enough available storage space on your device 
  • Downloading the update takes a long time 
  • Unable to reach the update server 
  • The update doesn't complete 

 

Hope these Apple Support links can solve your issue. 

 

Hope it helps!

Update support for iPad4 formally ended September 2017. The final iOS releases for this model were iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular). iPad4 cannot be updated to any later major version of iOS as it lacks the minimum hardware requirements needed to run more recent versions.


Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS12 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Withdrawal of Apps supporting older models of iPad is making their utility and usefulness significantly more limited.


If Apps that you need to use now have higher minimum iOS-version requirements, your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Even the basic current iPad7 supports current iPadOS 13.x - and has hardware specifications that will vastly outperform your old iPad4.


I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating your current options.
