There are two ways to upgrade the iOS of your iPad
- via connecting the device to iTunes on a computer
- or directly from within the device
so in your case you can try connecting the iPad to a computer with iTunes installed
procedure:

  • Connect your iOS device to your computer using an USB cable. Wait for iTunes to open and connect to your device.
  • Click on device button to the left of the iTunes Store button in the top right corner in iTunes.
  • Hold down on the option key (Mac) or the shift key (Windows) and click the "Check for Update" button in the Summary pane. Browse to the .ipsw file you downloaded and select it.
  • Do not disconnect your device until the update has finished.
  • If necessary, restore your device from the previous backup and sync with iTunes.

Upgrade ipad

There are different ways to upgrade iPad. You can follow below steps to update your iPad with ease.

If a message says that an update is available, you could then click "Install Now" button to start to update your iPhone iOS software. Also, you could manually check whether there is an iPhone iOS update or not on your iPhone. The below steps would show you how to update iPhone software wirelessly:
  1. Before you update iPhone software via WiFi connection, you need to make sure your iPhone has enough storage and battery to support the iPhone update.
  2. Connect your iPhone to a WiFi network.
  3. Tap "Settings > General > Software Update" successively.
  4. Tap "Download and Install" option when your iPhone has detects an update available. If a message asks to temporarily remove apps because iOS needs more space for the update, tap Continue or Cancel. Later, iOS will reinstall apps that it removed.
  5. Then iPhone would start to download and install iOS update immediately. You only need to wait for the update complete.
If this method won't work, check: How to Update iPhone

How can I find an old Hulu app?

Hi Deborah,
Hulu on the App Store

The link above will take you to the app in iTunes or App Store. If you receive an error stating you cannot download because you need to update, that may be your only option. By the model listed above I'm thinking your tablet is very new so you should have little trouble updating your iPad.

I will leave a link below describing how to update your iPad (link takes you to Apple Help).
Update the iOS software on your iPhone iPad and iPod touch

I hope this find you well,
Niall

Always says Not enough storage. I have deleted all games,& still says that

You may have too many apps, and you may have too many videos, photos, etc... People don't realize how much memory is eaten up by apps. They not only take up space when installed, they also take up tons of space when they store data. Best bet is to eliminate all apps that you don't really use, and then go into your settings to clear all "cache" memory that the apps are using up. Also, the best way to speed up an iPad is to do a factory reset which deletes _everything_, and then go and install fresh new versions of all apps that you _regularly_ use. Note: A fully "updated" app is not the same as an installation of the "latest version" of an app. I realize what a big deal totally reinstalling everything is, but you'd be amazed at the "new iPad" you wind up with. // Note: Using "cloud" to reinstall everything defeats the purpose. You want _new_ fresh latest versions of all apps. You can use cloud to restore _only_ your files, such as photos, music, etc. But be careful about the settings. Most people have their cloud settings set for "full restore" which (as I stated) defeats the entire purpose of a "factory reset."

My Apple iPad 2 won't update. It's running iOS 9.

It may be too full. Check how much free space you have. Try to have approximately 3GB free. Delete things that are easy to replace like apps, or music you can download again.
