HT4623 General Settings in my iphone 4 doesn't have software update option.  Why?

General Settings in my iphone 4 doesn't have software update option.  Can anyone tell me why and how to put the option in?

Hi, I've been to the Apple store - it was just matter of downloading the most recent software IOS 5 - once this was done the sotware update option appeared in General Settings.

  • HT4623 I have an iPad 3.2 Model MB292X and it doesn't have Software Updates under the General Settings so how do I download latest ios software?

    I have an iPad 3.2 Model MB292X and it doesn't have "Software Updates" section under General Settings.  How do I update my ios settings?  Help!

    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.

    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).

  • HT4623 Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 or earlier on it then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you are on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad 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 iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad 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.

  • 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"
