HT4623 Don't have update in my settings

I no longer have ability to update my iOS because I don't have the update tab. How can I update to the latest iOS ?

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.

  • HT4623 I have the original iPad and I don't have an option in Settings, General for Software Upates. The App Store only has a Spanish version. Does anyone know how I can update to iOS 5?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

  • HT4623 Don't have software update in my general settings why?

    Don't have software update in my general settings, why? And whatever I try my iPhone won't let me update software. Suggestions

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad or iPhone to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the device to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the device as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the device by right-clicking the iPad/iPhone 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the device on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    An iPad 2 will update to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • I don't have music listed in settings to activate iTunes match

    Why don't I have music listed in settings on my ipad2.  How can I resolve it?

    Did you subscribe to iTunes match on your computer first. It must be set up on a computer? You must be running Windows Vista or Max OS X 10.7 in order to subscribe to iTunes Match.
    I am not using this service so I haven't been through the process. Apple has a support article about how to subscribe, but I thought this one was pretty straight forward and informative as well. Take a look at this.

    Can you tell me if i can upgrade to ios5 have ipod touch version 4.3.2 (8h7)

    That option comes with iOS 5.
    To update
    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. That requires a Mac with 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. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
