If you have an original iPad 1, the latest version of iOS it can run is iOS 5. So you should be able to update no problem.


Update iTunes to the latest version (11.0.2). Then simply plug your iPad into the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad either in the sidebar or the top navigation bar. Then attempt to update the software. If it doesn't work, please post the exact error message.


Note that it would be wise to first ensure you back up the iPad.
