Hi
iOS5 is your operating system - think we are actually up to 6 or something. You may well find that you already have it
Go to settings - General - Software Update There it will tell you if you need to update or not. Should be up to 6.1.4
Hope this helps

Hi pip thanks for the reply

Went into settings then into general but it does not say anywhere updates. Any more suggestions it's iPad two. :huh:

They are all the same, including the iPhone, iPods etc. mines a 2 as well
Once you tap General there are About, Software Update & Usage - see pic below
Make sure you scroll up to top of screen

I really hate ios5. Updated my iphone but was really disappointed so have left the iPad well alone. No puffin for me then!

I managed to get onto her site using Photon, so that may be another option; although I can't remember if you have to pay for it :P

I have a fantastic app called iPad Tips & Tricks & it's fab - best £1.79 or something like that your'll ever spend😄
To take a screen shot press home button & on off button (on edge of iPad) simultaneously it is saved in camera roll then upload as usual

Here is the link for ipad tricks and tips; I highly recommend it and always gift it to any family or friends who get an ipad:

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tips-tricks-ipad-secrets/id369859228?mt=8
 
There's also a free version but it doesn't have as much info.

To upload photos you need the Photobucket app (do you have an account?):

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/photobucket-for-ipad/id364019193?mt=8

It is incredibly easy to use, if you are having any difficulty I can do some screen shots for you :blink:
