a software update is not installing

When attempting to update your iPad, ensure that the iPad is connected to its Power Adapter - or that the battery is charged to at least 50% capacity - as otherwise the software update will not be attempted.

Otherwise, if the iPad will not update, see:

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update – Apple Support

What happens when you try? What iPadOS version is currently running on your iPad?

How are you updating your device? Wirelessly or using a computer?

Should be the former, take a look here:--> If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update

Should be the latter, what error message are you getting?

Two Thoughts:

• Visit the link provided atop this post.

• Try what is provided here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip

What year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on aluminium back of your iPad in small print right under the larger bold print “iPad”.

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?

Please attempt to answer all questions asked.

Thank You.
