I just signed up for a free month trial with netflix so the kids can watch some films whilst away. It then prompted me to download the netflix app but when I tried it said I needed ios5. I searched the internet on how to get it and it seems I should have the option for software update in the settings but can't find it!

Which iPad do you have? Netflix doesn't work on the 1st generation iPads.

If you have a 2nd or 3rd gen model, connect your iPad to iTunes and check for a software update that way.

You need to connect iPad to pc and sign in to your iTunes account, and do a software update. Have recently done mine. Back everything up as you may lose some info or apps that you have already downloaded.

You need a computer to upgrade to iOS 5. Once you have that, all updates can be done on the iPad itself.

Settings then general then software update gives you what iOS you running. iPad 1 has no camera if it helps.

iPad 1 can update itself wirelessly but only if it has iOS 5 installed. To get it up to version 5 from a lower version you will need a computer to update it. Or take it into an Apple store they will probably do it for free.

Also as a heads up iPad 1 is not compatible with iOS 6 so 5 is it's last supported version of the operating system.

Software update option only appear once you have the ios 5 installed. You will need a pc or go into an apple store who will do this for you.

I'm sure that's right?

I think its very out of date that option was put in a while back maybe a friend with a pc could let you access itunes, once it has installed that option it should be ok to run without a pc.
