Do I need to visit the Apple store since I do Not see the software update line, after going into setting?

Cannot locate the software update line, after going into settIngs on my IPad2. Did I miss something?
Help, need to upgrade to a minimum of IOS5
THANKS

You only have the option of you are already running iOS 5 already. If you are trying to update to iOS 5, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
Here are the instructions.

Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
You will only be able to update to iOS 6 now.

  • I need help getting the software updates

    i was constantly disconnecting from the internet when playing online games on the mac side of my hard drive until i got a software update, but i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition, so i still frequently disconnect when playing games on windows, anybody know what the problem is or how i can get the software updates on the windows side?

    i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition
    Of course it didn't. Mac updates don't affect windows, and vice versa.

  • HT4623 Tried to get an app and it said I needed to download IOS5, however on my settings, I do not see a "software update ".                                          ngs page I do not see

    Tried to get an app from app store and it said I needed to download iOS 5.1. Treks to follow directions here and on my settings page it doesn't have an option for "software updates". Any help?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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.

  • Do I need to visit an Apple store to transfer an iMovie from my iPad 2 onto a thumb drive?

    I have been unable to transfer my iMovie made on my iPad 2 to my Mac desktop. I tried all the support options to no avail. Will I need to have the Genius bar folks transfer my iMovie to thumbdrive? the iOS 7 operating system won't allow me to sync.

    Thank you for the information on the wifi enabled flash drive, I like the idea of it. I tried all the tips again and finally was able to upload the iMovie to my thumbdrive by becoming creative!
    * Connect iMac and iPad
    *Open iPhoto on mac and iMovie on iPad
    *Click on the movie to sent back to the iMac and then click share (it sent it to the camera roll and then to iPhoto on my iMac)
    *Put the thumbdrive in the iMac and from the open iPhoto drag the movie to the thumbdrive icon on the desktop.
    **this took some time to show up on the screen, so be patient and it will load.
    Yay! Now I can share my movie project made by my students with the staff at the high school!

  • HT4623 I am not seeing a Software Updates option under settings and general but I keep getting pop up for "need to update to IOS6" how do I get the update?

    I am trying to update to IOS5  but my IPad is not giving me the option to update. How can I get the update?

    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.

  • Apple wireless keyboard media buttons not working despite software update

    Hi there,
    Yesterday I purchased an Apple wireless keyboard for use with my Mac Pro (10.5.8), and everything is working well except the top row of multimedia buttons (though the escape and eject keys do work). I downloaded and installed the Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0. After re-starting, the problem remained. As per Apple's support page suggestions, I opened the keyboard viewer and noticed that the viewer still shows the old usb keyboard setup--ie, shows the number pad. (Note that the usb keyboard is no longer plugged in). In the Input Menu for the keyboard, I've selected "US" rather than "US extended", and this doesn't help the problem either. Suggestions are appreciated!

    The new keyboards require 10.6.8 or later to map the function keys correctly.

  • The software update collection topic

    Software updates is a hot topic and this collection thread covers how it works.
    All phone models receive a software update every now and then and we always try to optimize the phone performance and features in every one of them.  But the most common questions are “When will I get the update?” or “When will next update be released?”.
    First, to get a better understanding of how creating and launching new software updates works I strongly suggest that you read the articles published on Developer World.
    http://developer.sonymobile.com/2011/12/07/ice-cream-sandwich-from-source-code-release-to-software-u...
    And
    http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/07/25/explaining-the-software-upgrade-process-and-its-improveme... 
    These articles explain it all from receiving the source code to when the update finally makes it to your device.
    As you can read in the article, all updates needs to pass all approvals and certifications before it can be released for your device.
    So unfortunately we here at the forum can’t say exactly when this will happen for your specific device but we always try to make as specific communications as possible when announcing new software update roll outs. Always check the product blog for the latest official information about products and software updates.
    http://blogs.sonymobile.com/
    All software updates rolls out gradually over time so it might not hit your device at the same time as we present it. To get the latest information about software update availability for your device you should contact your local support team since the updates are based on region and versions.
    http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/contact-info/
    There are two ways of updating your phone software. 
    1.     Via phone, OTA (Over the Air).
    Your phone has a built in application for updating your phone software. This application is called Update Center and can be found in your application drawer or via Settings > About phone > Software update. This application can scan for new software, notify about new software and also install new updates. But note that sometimes Update Center can only notify you about new phone software but not install it. This depends on the update itself and if it can be installed OTA or if the phone needs to be connected to a computer to perform the update. If this is the case you will be informed about that in the notification given to you by the Update Center application.
    Update Center will also inform you about the size of a new software update. If it’s a larger update, connecting to a Wi-Fi network is always recommended before downloading the update. This way you can save download data from your network subscription and also download time.
    If you don’t have access to any Wi-Fi network and experience problems doing a software update OTA please be aware of that some network operators doesn’t support FOTA (Firmware Over the Air). So if you’re trying to update your phone OTA via mobile networks make sure that your network operator supports FOTA. If yes and you still experience problems downloading the update check if your APN settings have any Proxy details that could block the download. You can check this in the following menu. Settings > More (Wireless & networks) > Mobile networks > APN or Access Point Names > Your Internet APN. Check if any details are set for Proxy and Proxy port. If yes you can try to delete them (temporarily) and save the APN. Now try downloading the update again.
    2.     Via computer
    You can use our programs, PC Companion (PC), Update Service (PC) or Bridge for Mac (Mac) to scan, install and repair phone software.
    PC Companion is your general managing program for the phone if you’re running on a PC computer.
    PC Companion has several other features besides updating software such as backup, sync etc.
    Update Service is a simple program for just updating and/or reinstalling your phone software.
    Bridge for Mac is the alternative for our Mac users. It’s similar to PC Companion. Bridge for Mac lets you, update the phone software, transfer/sync media files and backup your phone.
    If you experience any problems doing a software update via computer, please check the following.
    -       USB ports. If you don’t get any connection with the phone try to connect your USB cable to another USB port on your computer. If you’re using USB 3.0 ports make sure that you have installed the main board manufacturer drivers for them. Still not working please see the USB connection FAQ topic.
    -       Internet connection. If your Internet connection is using a Proxy please check that the Proxy settings are correct in PC Companion by going to Settings for PC Companion in the top right corner > Proxy settings.
    -       Firewall. Please make sure that no firewall blocks Internet communication. Check ignores list or temporarily disable the protection when doing the update.
    -       Anti-Virus. Please check that no security software is blocking the program from running or communicating with the Internet.
    If you get a message saying that your phone already has the latest software even if you have seen on the web that a later software version is available, this might not be an error. But as described above, it might not be released for your device just yet. Reasons for this please see beginning of this post.
    If you have read the above, tried the tips and still experience any issue please feel free to participate in any of the ongoing discussion topics here on our forum.

    Some things you can try:
    1. See if software update works from another account.
    2. Boot in safe mode.  See if SU works.  If so, reboot normally and try again.
    3. If those don't work maybe you need to delete the software update cache.
        ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
    Note there are two plists assocated with SU but I don't think deleting them will change anything since there is nothing significant in them.  They are,
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.XXXXXX.plist
    where the X's are a sequence of hyphenated upper case leters and digits.

  • I did the software update and now all the ATV does is have a blinking light.  On my TV there was the "notes" and the new cable shown.  I tried the restart (metal remote) Menu and down button and nothing happened.

    I did the software update and after downloading and loading the ATV just hung-up with a fast blinking white light on the front of ATV.  Tried a reset with the remote - Menu /downkey and nothing happened.  Is the software corrupt or did it wipe out my ATV?

    Apple TV 1st generation or 2nd?
    I would try plugging in the HDMI from the ATV to a different HDMI port on your TV and even trying the ATV on a different TV altogether...sounds like the HDMI port on your TV might be bad or a bad connection. Keep in mind you'll need to switch the TV input to the new HDMI port

  • Have problem when using the Software Update...

    My network works well and when I found there are updates in itunes iPhoto and some other software, I manually open the Software Update, and after the bar "checking for new software" it always says "software update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time". So I have to install 10.6.2 and 10.6.3 manually, and now my system version is 10.6.3, I have this problem since 10.6.1, and now I found there are so many software telling me they need updates, I can't do it manually because it's boring. So could anyone tell me what's the problem with my Snow Leopard? Thank you very much. I don't want to reinstall the whole system.

    Thank you.
    But as I found the two files, I deleted them, then I restarted my MBP, and the problem was still there... The software update showed the progress bar and it checked for a while and then tell me that there are no updates...

  • If my 5s is broken, what is the best way to get a new one? File a claim or visit an apple store?

    My phone is broken and will not turn on, I'm not sure how to find if I have insurance or not but I'm not sure if I should go to Verizon or visit an apple store to get a new phone..

    If you purchased insurance you would know it by looking at your invoice each month.
    The on/off button has a recall
    Exchange + Repair Extension Programs - Apple Support
    The repair may be covered. However go to an Apple Store for any apple iPhone issues. You will save yourself a load headache.
    Good Luck

    On the bottom of the MBP is the serial number.  Enter it here and post back the results:

    This will identify the exact MBP that you have.

    Hi, Laura. 
    There are some troubleshooting steps that we can process prior to opting for a repair.  If you do have a protective film on your device make sure that is removed and test to see if the behavior persists.  Below, I have attached an article that goes over some basic troubleshooting steps.  After all steps are processed and the issue persists, we can service your unit at your local Apple Retail Store.  You can schedule an appointment buy clicking this link http://www.apple.com/retail/.
