Updating iPad 2

Hi I have the iPad 2 and it is telling me I need to update yet when I try to do this it gives me an error message that says


"iOS 6.1 failed to verify because you are no longer connected to the Internet" now I have also tried to update by connecting to my iMac but it tells me I am having network connection errors.


Anyone got any solutions?


Thanks

iPad 2, iOS 6.1

Sometimes Apple has server problems. Try again later.


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).
