I cannot update my original ipad's os. Instructions say: go to settings, general, then update (which should be a "tab" listed under "about"). My iPad doesn't have a tab/choice for update....
iPad, iOS 4.3.2, My pc is dead only using ipad now
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
This option is only in iOS 5 or newer. If you have an early iOS, you need a Mac or PC to update
Sorry, you must use a computer to update. Best to use the computer you normally sync with.
You must have a computer to update. An Apple store will do it for you if you don't have a working computer.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.
