HT1222 My iPad doesn't show a software update
Under General tab my iPad doesn't show software update to get the iOs 6.1.3. How do I get this.
That option only appears with iOS 5 or later. Clearly you have an earlier version to upgrade:
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 iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date to version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?
You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

How do i update 10.5.8 if my macbook does not show any software updates?
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
Need link for iCal updates (they are not showing on Software Update)
Apple's iCal update page does not give an actual update - it just gives instructions on how to use OSX 'Software Update'. Software Update doesn't show any iCal updates when I run it.
I need the latest versions for Panther 10.3.9 AND the version for Tiger 10.4.9
So what is the bonafide link to getting iCal updates/versions?
Anyone know? Thanks.mrchauncey,
iCal 1.5.5 is the most recent for Panther, and can be downloaded from here.
In order to obtain the most recent version for Tiger Mac OS X 10.4.9, you can use the Custom Install feature from your Mac OS X installation disk. Then use the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update to bring the iCal version up-to-date for that release of Tiger.

HT4623 My Ipod doesn't have a 'software update' button
I want to update to the lastest IOS but my ipod doesn't have a 'software update' option. Are there no other ways to do this?
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

my ipad2 show itunes and the usb but in my macbook shows iphone software update serves cannot be contacted... pls. anyone can help.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Itunes doesn't show any app updates
Hi folks,
iTunes doesn't show any app updates. On my iPhobe and iPad there are updates in the app store... Any hints?
Thanks
PatSame problem here
I can see I have updates on iPhone or iPad but nothing on iTunes -
My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there any other way to update the operating system? Thank you
Your tag line shows iOS 6. If you are running iOS 6 you should have it in the settings. Your tag line also shows iPad - so if you have the iPad 1 - you can only update to iOS 5.1.1 and you need a computer running iTunes.
So if You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA.

Go to Solution.@ytheekshana
Since the update is just being rolled out, you will need to use PCC or Bridge for Mac, this is based on other updates on other phones, there isn't an specific date as to when it'll be released OTA.

What should show in software updates?
Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could let me know what kinds of updates should show in 'software updates' on either the phone or Ovi Suite. Obviously it should show updates to firmware, but the Nokia videos here also mention updates to apps, and a user's post contains a screenshot showing an update to the CNN app.
I have a Nokia 701 running 111.010.1009.321.01. The updates I most want to see are FP1 and the Microsoft apps (even the first set of apps would be progress). But my immediate question relates to the fact that I have never had any updates available through 'software updates' although I have had lots available through the Nokia Store, including in the past updates to maps, and currently updates to apps like CNN and GPS Info Qt.
Should these also show on Nokia Suite or the phone's Software Updates?
Thanks
AlanApp updates are not shown in software update or Nokia suite. Certain built in apps like Nokia maps and social show up in software updates, but 3rd party updates are never shown in either of this. They'll show up in Nokia store only if you have them installed on your phone.
