If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

here is the news.....


After a case opened in the Apple Support I went oriented to go to a service provide. Now I need to wait for 10 days to evaluate what's happening.

According with the Service provide representative they are receiving a lot of equipaments Ipads, Iphones and Ipod with a similar problem.

I really cannot believe that a problem originated in a software update need a hardware maintenance or replace.

I cannot believe that is impossible to donwgrade the version to IOS to 6.1.1


Applle, Please.... HELP US!!!!!!!
