How high of an o.s. can the 2nd generation iPad take?

I don't want to buy a new one because I don't want smaller, but my 2nd generation iPad won't update past 5.1 on iTunes and now a lot of my newer apps won't work. Any suggestions? Or is this as high as this device can go?

MacBook Pro, 10.9.5

Are you sure your iPad is an iPad 2? Does it have a camera?

If your iPad does not have a camera it is an original iPad. Original iPads cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1.


You say you don't want to buy a new one because you don't want smaller? The iPad Air 2 has a large screen just like the original iPad and the iPad 2. The iPad Air 2 has a Retina display though which is much better.
