HT201263 My itouch does not have an update option for the os

I am trying to set up icloud and it says I must have 5.0 on my device bt the itouch does not have the software update option shown it the directions on the apple website.

Connect to your syncing computer and start iTunes. From the summary screen, check for updates. If you have a 2nd generation iPod, it can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

    The update to iOS 5.0 & higher is an erase/restore deal, so make sure you follow the directions here to update your phone:

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have Software Update option??  How do I update to iOS5?

    My iPad does not have Software Update option?  How do I update to higher versions???

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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 are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • HT201263 my iphone5 does not have passcode setting option. this is for auto-lock function

    my iphone5 does not have passcode setting option. this is for auto-lock function

    Hello SLLH
    You can find the settings for the Passcode Lock in Settings > General > Passcode Lock. If you are looking for Auto-Lock, then go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock. If you are not seeing these options then you may need to do a reset settings on your iPhone, which is located at General > Settings >Reset > Reset All Settings.

  • HT4623 what if my phone does not have software update option

    What if iphone 4 does not have software update

    Is the Software Update button not there at all? If it is not there, than you may want to update on your computer with iTunes. What version do you have of iOS anyway?

  • HT4623 My ipad does not have "Software update" option under General Settings

    Trying to update ipad.  My ipad does not have the "Software update" option referenced in instructions.

    You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
    Instructions here for all iOS versions. Make sure that you go down to the section about using iTunes. The first part of the article only applies to you if you are already running iOS 5.

  • Ipod 2g settings does not have software update option

    I have checked the tutorial to upgrade my ipod 2g from 4.2 to 4.3, but when I go to settings/general, "software update" does not appear as an option.  I am connected to a wi fi area and ported to a computer, still no option...

    Your software version is not up to date, and therefore does not have that in "settings" yet.  You must connect it to your computer and update via iTunes. 
    Your iPod needs iOS 5 or higher, in order to have the software update option in "settings"

  • My i tunes does not have a ringtones option on the menu bar or under preferences.  How do I get this folder to show up?

    I am trying to use a short mp3 file as a ringtone.  So far every website has told me that all I have to do is drag the file into the "ringtones" folder that is located in the menu bar on the left side of I-tunes.  I don't have this folder.  Again, every website tells me to simply go to "Edit" and then "Preferences" and to click on the ringtones box and then the folder will magically appear.  My itunes is the latest 10.5 version but somehow I don't have this option.  What is wrong with my i tunes?

    Yep... strange move on Apple's part.
    The quick solution would be to get hold of a Concert from MS 2 with the right layout etc, and then open it in your MS3.
    Slower would be to make your own layout using Grouped Controls for the pedal layout you'd like, then assign to incoming MIDI as needed (Switches etc), then map to the effects controls in Edit mode.
    You'll need to be careful how you setup the Screen Control backgrounds.

  • I have an SD card that my husband uses for a trail camera. The camera does not have a delete function for the pics, so I put the SD card in our MAC and we can view the pics but when I go to delete them it says that the files cant be deleted. What can i do

    My husband has an SD card he  uses for his trail camera. We put it in our mac book pro and can look at the pictures but when I go to move them to the trash it tells me that the files can't be moved to the trash because they cant be deleted. I have Nikon camera software on my mac and it pics up and asks if you want to import the pics and if you want them deleted from the devices afterwards. I tried that but I get a message afterwards that says that some files were not able to be deleted. When I go to check, none of them were deleted. How can I clean of the SD Card? I do have a camera I could stick it in, it would just be nice to know how to do it from my mac. Also, the files are jpg. if that matters.

    AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards.  You should use that.  Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly.  Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
    Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan.  I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

  • HT4972 How come my iPad does not have software update in the settings?

    Help, my iPad does not have software update available in settings, how do I 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.

  • My ipad2 settings menu does not have an update software listed. I'm trying to update to ios5

    My ipad2 settings page menu does not have an 'update software' on it. How do I update to ios5?

    The update to iOS 5 is a lengthy process.  Your entire device is being backed up, then wiped, then the new OS is installed, then your apps, etc., rebuilt on the device.  If you have a lot apps, etc., on your device it will take a long time to update.
