I am having problem updating my iPad to ios

If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

This is the iphone forum.

Post in the ipad forum and explain what " having a hard time" means. It is hard to answer when you do not explain the issue.

iOS 6 is out.

1. Ensure your device is connected to a power source. To avoid potential data costs connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
2. Go to Settings > General > Software Update. iOS will automatically check for available updates. Available updates download automatically if your device is connected to Wi-Fi and a power source.
   
3. If an update is available^* you can tap Download to download the update.
4. After the download has completed tap Install to update your iOS.
   
5. If you leave the update to download in the background, once the download has finished you will receive a notification saying an update is available for your device. Tapping Details will take you toSettings > General > Software Update. Tap Install Now to install the iOS update. If you decide to leave the installation for later Settings will display notification badge until the update has been installed.
   

6. * Some iOS updates may not available as over-the-air updates. VPN or proxy connections may prevent your device from contacting the iOS update servers.

Make sure you have the latest iTunes version installed.

If you need iTunes, download it here.http://www.apple.com/itunes/?cid=OAS-US-DOMAINS-itunes.com

PS: You cannot update your iPad to iOS 5. You need to go straight to iOS 6.1.3 as Apple closed the window for iOS 5. Unless you saved your SHSH Blobs.
