When I go to settings > general, there is no prompt for "software update." how can I update my iPad?
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.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

I am attempting to upgrade my iPhone OS from 4.2.6 to OS 5. I followed the online directions, but when I go to "Settings > General", there is no "Software Update" option as they describe. I need to upgrade the OS in order to use a credit card swipe accessory for customer purchases. HELP !!!

Can anyone tell me how to update from 4.2.6?
Check to make sure you don't have two firewalls (i.e. a Windows firewall and one on your router).
If that's not it, you may need to dig deeper ... like temporarily changing your router's DNS to use Google's DNS or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS. Or maybe open up a certain port on your router (not sure which one that would be though, sorry). Or, if your computer is connected to the internet over wi-fi, try connecting to your router (or modem) via Ethernet, I heard of that solving a problem like this (though I can't confirm if that was real). -
downloaded ios7 & now cannot add events to my calendar, they do not appear on screen. SIRI tells me that they are there but I cannot see them. Advice pls?
In your calendars app, click the calendars button below and check if all the calendars are selected. Also click the search button on top(magnifying glass) and see if the events are listed.

What do you mean it isn't' compatible? What isn't compatible?
There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account. Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

Using iCal on my ipad2 and can't seem to create a repeating event, specifically, an appointment that occurs the second Wednesday of every month. Any help is greatly appreciated....thanks!
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

I have an Iphone 6 with 16gbs, so I'm running out of room. When I go to settings, general, then about, it says I have 97 photos and 23 videos, but I have nothing in my video app and in the photos app only has 12 pictures and 1 video. Any clue what would be causing this?

I need help with the settings, General to update my itunes, but there is no word saying software, for me to start the process. Also, need help syncing my music to my Ipad. help?
That option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you are on iOS 4 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 it via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc 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 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.

For syncing music to the iPad's Music app, select the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it.

How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -
Unsure how to update, as of course I need it to run certain apps. My I pad has never prompted me to do so either.
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).

I'm trying to update my ipad and when I go to "settings" then "general" there is no "software update" choice??
If you are running iOS 4 or earlier you will have to update using iTunes on your computer.

Every time I download an upgrade, it downloads fine, no errors and seems to work. Then I go to some sights and it says I'm still running older version.
