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.

    I have an 8 GB capacity iPhone which I use to connect to iTune for music, video, app synch purpose. Recently I purchase iPad3 capacity 32 GB.  When I connect pad to iTune first time, pop message says that do u want to create a separate account or restore iPhone backup?

    Moderator's note: We amended the title of this post as we moved it to the most appropriate board.

    @shishir_ngn the Nokia Suite on a Windows computer is the recommend way, because only this gives you not just the firmware but the latest apps as well. Anyway, do you face any error message with that firmware over-the-air update option (FOTA) – we need it word-for-word.

    Restore your iPhone thoroughly. And restore it from backup.
    If not working,
    Take it to Apple store. They might replace the piece you have.

  • HT4623 How do I update iOS 6.1.3 software with no wifi or iTunes for apple iPhone 5 ?

    I have a apple 5 iPhone and I can not update the iOS 6.1.3 software because I do not have wifi and my iTunes is not set up because I don't have wifi , how can I update this software through the apple site?

    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.

    How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.

    You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device.  To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch.  So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.
