When attempting to update your iPad, ensure that the iPad is connected to its Power Adapter - or that the battery is charged to at least 50% capacity - as otherwise the software update will not be attempted.


Otherwise, if the iPad will not update, see:

What year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on aluminium back of your iPad in small print right under the larger bold print “iPad”.

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?


Please attempt to answer all questions asked.


Thank You.
