The first generation iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1. If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

Another way. If your ipad doesn't have a camera it's a iPad 1 and can't be upgraded beyond IOS 5.1.1.
