- depends on the iPad model you have:
For the iPad first generation (A1219) before iOS 5 to update is only possible with connecting the device to iTunes on a computer. Plug it into your computer and open up itunes under devices click on your ipad and then click on check for update.
- but this model supports only iOS 5 !
- NO iOS 6/7/8 !
-----------------------------
for all other models:
There are two ways to update the iOS version of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - via connecting the device to iTunes on a computer
- or directly from within the device, but only since iOS 5 it is possible to update the iOS version without the need to connect the iOS device to a computer (over-the-air update)
just go to: settings - general - software update

SOURCE: friend pressed update to ios 7 on my ipad 2

I suggest you let it download the updation file because usually there is no option to abort the download and if you do not want to install the update just decline the license agreement this will abort the install and you would be able to use the old version. Note: Once you have installed ios7 there is no direct downgrade available as Apple had stopped signing the previous versions.

How do I download iOS 6 to my apple ipad

Apple will let you know when updates are available for your device. If you have an older model, iOS 6 will not work with your processor. Work with an older version of the app or update to a newer device.

Sorry.

My iPad has an iOS data of 5.1.1 but I want to have 6.0 in order to download application

You need to upgrade the system. iOS 6 is free and can be downloaded from Apple. Check Settings app > General > Software Update. You can also use iTunes on your computer, just connect the iPad, open the iPad menu which should pop up, and check for new software.
Good luck! :)

How do I download iOS 6 to my iPad 2. It seems that the only option I have for my iPad2 is ios 7 which I is don't want.

- meanwhile you may download the iOS 8.1.2 which is good and some Apps require it....
