Updating iOS Software

Checking for the latest iOS software updates from Apple is an important part of maintaining your iPad. Although this is relatively simple, it can be a confusing prospect for some users. Any school that considers implementing iPad technology must be prepared to offer teachers and technology support staff the proper training to successfully complete this process. The good news is that updating your iOS software is something the average user can easily complete on their own once they understand the steps involved.

Updating your iOS device (iPad):

iTunes can update your device to the latest available iOS software. An update doesn't affect your user content or settings. iTunes creates a backup of your iOS device and then performs the update. Follow these steps to update your device:

  1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
  2. Connect your iOS device to your computer.
  3. Select your iOS device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
  4. Select the Summary tab.
  5. Click "Check for Update":
