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).

Hi !


I am unable to update the current iOS version 6.1.3 released on March 2013 on my iPad 2. I currently have 6.1.2.

I go to Settings/ General/ Software Update; but it just sits there saying "Checking for Update... " and does nothing.

I have tried Resetting my iPad, but still nothing. I have also made sure that I have enough storage available for the update. Is their a way to Update through iTunes ? If so, what steps would I need to take. can someone Please help me with this ? I would really appreciate it.

Hope to hear from someone soon !


Thanks !!!
