I decided I would wait until the initial rush of people had gotten their fix then try to download it later at night, but as I look I see that it says ios 6.1.3 or whatever the one before 7 is, is up to date and gives me no option to update my ipad. Is this because of the staggering for the launch of the new ios?
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.4
That has been the guess. All you can do is wait it out. If you normally sync to a comptuer you can try downloading it via iTunes (you will also need to update iTunes, iOS7 requires 11.1)
Yes.
It's crazy. Millions of people all trying to do the same thing online.
😮

I have the same thing going on. I believe you are initially given a spot in the download queue. If you do not use that spot within x amount of time, it's given to someone else and you have to wait another x amount of time before it's offered again to you. This is just going by my personal experience and gut feeling. I'm seeing similar things happening out there (the forums) as well.
Right now, I have the option to download to both my iPhone 5 and iPad 4 through iTunes. I'm not doing so simply because I'm waiting for this commotion to die down and see what real-world performance is like before jumping in with iOS 7.
Earlier i had the option to download ios 7, but now I do not, what's going on?
