Hi texarraider,
The option to update your IOS from your device is not available under IOS versions earlier than 5.0, so you will have to hook it up to your computer to do the update.
Cheers,

  • HT4623 Update from iOS 4.2.1

    How can I upgrade my iPhone to 4.3

    You cannot. The iPhone 3G will not update past iOS 4.2.1. That is the last iOS that it will support. If you need a newer iOS, you would have to purchase a newer iPhone.

  • HT4623 update to ios 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet, when I am connected to my Wifi. Do I need to adjust some settings?

    Update to IOS 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet when using home Wifi and verifing connectivity by using Safari to surf net and viewing wifi setting. Do setting need to be adjusted?

    This is what worked for me: Double tap your home button to bring up the programs running in the back ground, press and hold so they show the red close option and close all programs.  After that shut your iphone down and power back on.  Immediately go to General>Software Update and it should work.  Good Luck

  • HT4623 Update software ios 3.2 iPad

    Can I update the operating system on my first generation ipad

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you are on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

    You won't have the option to update wirelessly unless you are running iOS 5 or higher.  If you aren't, your only option is to update using iTunes (see "Updating your device using iTunes" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623).

    If not, then you would need to redownload them:

    Hi, There is no developer community to talk about upgrade to GM release. Please let me know if there is.
    It's the same place you registered as a developer, talked about all of your deleper issues and downloaded developer software.
