Restart the iPad then connect it to pc and try again. Did you have any password in the iPad? If so disable it for the update, I had a similar issue ones.

Are you receiving any type of error during the install? I found that mine would always fail until I turned off any firewalls or virus protection programs I had running on my puter. I use Kaspersky and have to disable it completely or none of my updates via iTunes will work.

Hope you get it figured out!

Anti virus is usually the problem. Can you temporarily disable it, because then the download should work? This is a common issue.
