Need help with applying or installing iOS5 to my iPad 2 every time I try looking for information on how I get rerouted to other apple sites and my question still doesn't get a respond on if I can do it or have to get a device? I need something simple so ican understand on how to apply?
iPad 2, iOS 5, Install
An iPad 2 happily runs the current iOS 6.1.3. There is no supported way of installing an older iOS. Why would you want to?

If my iPad runs the iOS6 why? Aren't I getting any downloads on some movies or games the sites pop up saying I need a iOS5 ?

I suspect they say you need iOS 5 or better. If you have iOS 6.1.3 you are able to run every app available.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
