HT4623 No software update appears on my iPhone's General settings tag.  How do I update my iPhone?

No "Software Update"  appears in the General Settings folder on my iPhone.  How do I update the software without it?

The first time iPhone goes to iOS 5, must be performed with iTunes on computer. Connect your iPhone to iTunes on computer.

  • HT4623 I don't have "software update" under my general settings. How do I update my iPhone4 iOS?

    Hi. I have an iphone4 and can't update my iOS. I don't have "software update" as a option under general settings. How do I update my phone?

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPhone to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    ... and the option to update the software from the iPod using Settings/General is not available on iOS 4 or earlier.
    You can get free Apps with iOS 3.x - providing they will run on the version you have. That's dependant upon your model of iPod. So before anything else, which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod and do you know which model you own?

    I have an iPad 3.2 Model MB292X and it doesn't have "Software Updates" section under General Settings.  How do I update my ios settings?  Help!

    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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • HT4623 I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone?

    I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone so I can download apps?

    Are you referring to updating the iOS? Software update for the phone has nothing to do with downloading apps. The only time the OTA software update for the phone iOS was after iOS 5. If you are looking to update applications, then go to the App store and select updates.

    You only get the Settings > General > Software Update when you have iOS 5+ installed on the iPad - if you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the next udpate via your computer's iTunes.

    A 3G can go to iOS 5.1.1 and requires iTunes version 10.5 or later. If you have a Mac that requires OSX 110,5,8 or later
