Hi,
I want to update my Ipad´s IOS software, and I am not able to do so. When I enter the software update link in general, the Ipad says that is is already updated, but the version is 9.3.5. Because of this, I cannot download other apps, as the software version is "old". What can I do to fix this problem?
Thank you
If Software update says 9.3.5 is up to date, you likely have an iPad 2 or 3, or iPad Mini 1, and those cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5.
See here to identify it: Identify your iPad model - Apple Support
The only solution is to buy a newer iPad.
An iPad running iOS 9.3.5 would be at least 7 years old at this point.

If you recently purchased or acquired this older iPad, there maybe a couple of ways to get older, compatible versions of apps.
Older versions of apps may still exist in the iOS App Store, despite the fact the apps may have moved on to an higher minimum iOS version, now.
If you need older versions of apps that have moved on toiOS 10 and later, tap on my link below and choose the method that best works with your current situation.
CAREFULLY read and follow ALL directions. Especially so for my computer/older iTunes procedures.
Any of my procedures/solutions work!

A Disclaimer.
Apps may or may not have older iOS 9.3.5 versions still available from within the iOS App Store.
There are a couple of ways to try/attempt to get an older version of an app. Pick the method that works best for your situation/circumstances.
In addition, I would STOP using that nearly 3-year old Safari Web browser, as it is, probably, not safe and secure to use any
longer, and seek out a third party web browser that is STILL currently being updated and STILL being supported on iOS 9.3.5.
Heed my advice on this issue in my above link.
Good Luck to You!
The fix is for you to purchase a newer ipad in order to get the newest software to download apps.
The ipad you have is at the end of the line, you can't update the ios anymore.
