Try resetting...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try Settings > General > Software Update
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then try updating. No data is lost due to a reset.

Is ur iPad jailbroken? This happened to me when I tried upgrading to iOS 6 on my jailbroken iPhone! Try upgrading using computer.
Jail broken???? It's barely used got It for ChristMas, it jus the one that uses wifi connection, I'm not in the usa cud dis be a problem..everything seems to work fine :(
All right so I got it to work. I think it is an Internet problem. I recently got a new router which was way better than my old one and it downloaded very smoothly. And no the iPad is not jail broken.
