“I heard there’s a new software update for the iPad. How do I update my iPad?
How to update the iPad:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
2. Connect the iPad to your computer.
3. If there is a new software update for the iPad you should get a pop up window. Click on “Download and Install”.
4. iTunes may warn you about purchases that are on your iPad but currently not in your iTunes library. Click continue to transfer purchases from the iPad to iTunes.
5. You’ll get some information about the new software update. Click “Next” and “Agree” to the license agreement.
6. iTunes should now be downloading the latest update for the iPad. This could take a few minutes, time for a bathroom break.
7. From here on iTunes pretty much does the rest automatically. It will extract the software update, sync/backup the iPad and begin installing the firmware update.
Enjoy your new and improved iPad with the latest software update.
