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.

"I don't have a pc anymore, hence why I use the iPad lol x"
You need a computer to upgrade to iOS 5. Once you have that, all updates can be done on the iPad itself.

"ios 6 is now out. God knows what it means but its sitting on my ipad awaiting my attention lol."
Don't think ios 6 can be downloaded on the first iPad? But ok for all others |

"Check your settings see if it can update itself via wifi, my iphone4 does but will have to chat to Matt to see if his ipad1 does.

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. |

"I have first generation. iPad and It works fine. Go into your settings general and check for updates "
I haven't got a software update option in my settings, I've seen a diagram on the internet and I'm looking in the right place it's just not there  |

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I think its very out of date that option was put in a while back maybe a friend with a pc could let you access itunes, once it has installed that option it should be ok to run without a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