Connect the device to the computer using the data cable that came with the device. The name of the name appears under "Devices" in the left navigation panel of iTunes. Click on the name to select it and see the device’s Summary page. Click "Check for Updates" on the Summary page. If there is an update for your device, iTunes normally notifies you.

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

    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.

  • HT4623 i dont have the 'software update' option in my iphone 4 menu so how do I update the IOS?

    i dont have the 'software update' option in my iphone 4 menu so how do I update the IOS?

    If you never upgraded to iOS5 then you won't have the option to upgrade your phone "over the air".  To do an upgrade, connect your phone to iTunes and select the phone on the left menu bar.  You will see an option on the main page to Check for Update.  Select that and your phone will update to iOS6.
    It is recommended that you do a full backup of your phone before you begin the upgrade process.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I update the iOS software on iTunes for Windows

    Hi all.
    The battery life in my phone was decreasing very quickly to the point where I have turned it off with 100% at night, and wake up in the morning to have it at 0%. So yesterday, after making a few calls I got to this nice man who explained to me that it was not a problem with the battery, but I needed to update to the latest version of iOS (generally fixes the problem). I don't have enough space (and cannot clear it), so he suggested another option. I would have to use iTunes. First he told me to upload my data to iCloud. As I have not done it before, it took a while, and it did not work for a while. He sent me the link of what to do via email (Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support) and hung up, after me thanking him. My cloud finally updated a little before 10PM GMT and I went to sleep. In the morning my battery was not dead, albeit it had only gone done by a few %. However, I still want to update to the newest software.
    I have the latest version of iTunes on my laptop and so this morning I plugged in my phone to my laptop (using the computer - phone plug). However I cannot see where to select my device. My phone is not coming up in any corner, and it is not charging when it is plugged into my laptop either (I read somewhere that it should). So my question is, how do I select my device. It is plugged in but it not coming up for me. Please be as explicit as possible.
    If it helps I have an iPhone 4s bought in December 2013.
    Thank you!

    I'm not sure if it should be here or in the iPhone usage forum.

  • How do I update the iOS on an originl iPad?

    When I go to settings, I don't see any place to click on Update Software

    That's because the cloud didn't appear until you had iOS 5 or higher.  You have to connect your iPad to your computer and update the OS via iTunes.  Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.  Also, the update can take some time as it builds a complete backup on the cloud, then reinstalls it on your device.  So, turn off any anti-virus or firewall software you may have on your computer for this process.
