My iphone does not have a software update tab. How do I update my phone without it?

You don't have a software update on your phone because you need IOS 5.0 or higher to OTA.
You will have to update using itunes.

  • HT4623 My I pad does not have a software update tab, how can I update?

    My I pad does not have a software update tab when you go to settings and general. Is there another way to update?

    The Software update button was only added in iOS 5. If you have anythng less than that you will need to connect your iPad to a computer running the latest version of Itunes and update through there.
    In the article you came from, scroll down to the section titled Update your device using iTunes. And follow those steps to update.

    I need to update my IPad . But it does not have " software update" button....any suggestions please????

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Connect it to the computer you sync with. When iTunes opens, click on the name of your iPhone under DEVICES in the far left hand frame. Move right to the summary tab and click on the update button.
    You may get a message on your screen that an update is available for your iPhone. If you do click OK and let it update.
