Hi Scott.
Which model tab?
Where are you located?

Sorry for the late reply.
Two ways to update.
Go to sammobile.com. There you'll find the Samsung files.
Download the one for your model, and flash it with Odin.
It's recommended you do a factory reset first. After the reset, just set up your tab to get it going. Don't update any pre-installed apps or re-install any of your apps.
Then flash the new file from sammobile. Then you can proceed as if you just bought your tab.
The second way is to use Kies. If you use Kies, you'll have to do a factory reset first to get Kies to connect with your tab (a bug somewhere prevents Kies from connecting to the tab if the tab has been updated; factory reset solves that problem).
So, using Kies, factory reset first (don't update anything, just get it going).
Fire up Kies, connect tab to PC. Kies should see the tab and tell you an update is available.
Update, and then you can set up your tab. Update apps, re-install your apps, etc.
Flashing with Odin:
Factory reset first, don't update anything, just enough to get it going.
Put your tab into download mode, launch Odin on your PC, connect tab to PC.
Flash the new firmware file you downloaded from sammobile.
You can then continue to set up your tab, which will now be running ICS.
I've done it both ways, and don't really have a preference. Flashing with Odin may be a bit faster. If you're new to all of this, I'd recommend using Kies.
Whichever way you do it, a factory reset isn't absolutely necessary, but it's highly recommended. It gives you a nice, clean installation of the new OS.
Make sure you back up anything on your tab you want to keep, like photos, e-mails, etc., as a reset will delete everything. It's like re-formatting you computer.
Also, if you use the Odin method, you'll need to download the USB drivers from Samsung and install them on your computer first. If you use Kies, Kies will install the drivers.

Thank you. I will give it a try when I have time away from my 2 year old.

Post if you have any more questions.
It's really very easy to update with either method, much easier than my post reads.
It's also faster. The download is what takes some time, maybe about 20 minutes or so.
Applying the update itself only takes a few minutes using either method.
Good luck.

Kies would not show that tab need update so I used Odin and I worked like a charm thank you!!

You're welcome; glad I could help.
Now you can really start to have fun trying out different launchers, themes, etc.
I'm using Nova launcher, and combined with ICS, my tab runs like a rocket.

You're welcome Scott.
I've learned a lot here, so it's always fun to be able to help someone.
