Why can't I find the Software Update button?  I only see About and Usage.

Under About, what version do you have? The Software Update option in Settings was not introduced until iOS 5.0.

    Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running.  If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button.  It was added when iOS 5 came out.  The current iOS is 5.1.1.  To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes.  Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward.  Make sure you have a lot of time.  Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - 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 to iOS 5/6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT4623 why doesnt my ipod have a software update button?

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    It won't if you're running iOS 4 and below.  You'll need to update the software by connecting your phone to your computer and updating through iTunes.

  • HT4623 why don't I have a software update button?

    How do I update my IOS?

    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.

  • HT4623 Can't find the software update in my setting

    Can't find the software update in my setting

    Software Update from the iPad came with iOS 5. If you still have iOS 4 on your iPad, you will need to connect the iPad to iTunes on a computer to get the iPad updated to iOS 5 (or shortly iOS 6). Once you have iOS 5 or later, you can then perform future updates directly from the iPad, though if you don't use iCloud to make backups, I still recommend updating through your computer so you get a backup there.

    If it's not available within Settings->General->Update, have patience. The Apple servers in your area don't have it for your region yet.
