HT201412 How do I update my iphone as I have no update in the general setting

How do I update my iphone when Idont have a update section in the General app

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article. As it's running an iOS version prior to 5.0, there won't be an option to update from the device itself.
An iPhone 3G can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • HT4623 I. Can't find software update in the general setting . How else can I update my iPod touch.

    Don't have update software under the general settings. How do I update my iPod touch iOS to 4.3 or higher?

    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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

    How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

    If you want to risk your money, fine. 
    To answer your questions
    Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
    Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
      Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
    That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
    Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
    Or what about replacing the motherboard?
    There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • How do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    how do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    If you mean your iCloud Apple ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you are changing accounts (by setting up a new account with a new ID), when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then create the new account, turn on your data syncing and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
    If you change accounts you will be assigned a new iCloud email address.  You will also lose your photo stream.  If you have any photos in your my photo stream album that are not saved to your camera roll that you want to keep, before deleting your orignal account, open the My Photo Steam album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to keep, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

    I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

    iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also.  Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
    The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.
