HT4623 Why can't I find the Software Update button? I only see About and Usage.

Under About, what version do you have? The Software Update option in Settings was not introduced until iOS 5.0.

HT1414 How do I download iOS 5 Software update?

Please how do I download iOS 5 Software update if I'm not ready to update via iTunes?

I have a job, so I don't hang your every word as soon as you post a reply to a thread in which I've participated. Now I've read your other post correcting the fact that I put 6.0.2 as the latest version of iPhone software I won't refer to the version specifically any more.
So, is iOS 5 available for download?
I find you very aggresive in your approach and if it continues, I will more than likely only ask questions on here rather than trying to assist others.
I have better things to do and I'm just trying to help.

Is it lost or stolen?
Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

Hook it up to your computer and open itunes. try to download hte apps via your computer. Every time you update hte software you have to reagree to the itunes terms of service. Sometimes it's hard to get it to come up on the device, but is easier on a computer.

Hi guys, I want to sync my Pages program to iCloud but haven't got an option to do so in the pages program. Instead there is only iWork. I think I have the updated version its, 4.1 (923) do i have to update my version or should it work?

I think you mean "there is only iWork.com". iWork is the name of the 3 software programs. iWork.com is a web site.
You can use iWork.com till 1 August. (Apple is shutting down iWork.com from 1 August.) After that date you'll have to use iCloud, though it's available now to use. See Re: How to upload a document to iCloud from Mac?
NB This process is a bit clumsy. Apple have said they'll be improving iCloud in OS X Mountain Lion. But this new version of OS X won't be available till end of summer (or winter if you're in the other hemisphere).
Note also that iCloud only syncs documents between your devices. It doesn't share documents with others. If you need to do this you should consider another service like DropBox, Google Drive or Microsoft Skydrive.

HT4623 How can i install ios if i can't find software update in my ipad ?

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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

HT4623 how can restore my IOS from 6.1 to previous version....I am loosing 15% battery each hour

Upgraded my iphone 4 to IOS 6.1 3 days ago, I am loosing 15% battery each hour. Will going back to previous version help, and how can restore my IOS from 6.1 to previous version without loosing contents on my iphone? I have taken all normal precautions such as closing apps, turning off blutooth, manually fetching email, not using browser.....nothing seems to work.

Those are not running apps.
This is pulling up the recently used apps bar. Most, if not all, of those apps are not running at all. This is just a list of the apps that you have used recently.
The very few apps that run in the backgound are managed by ios.

HT4623 HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD IOS 7 TO MY PHONE USING A COMPUTER TO MAKE IT FASTER

How can i download ios 7 to my iphone from a computer to save time?

Just for the sake of balance, I'm quite satisfied with iOS 7 and now that I've gotten used to the new look like it better than iOS 6. But definitely look at all the images of the new look and the lists of the changes before you upgrade to make sure you know what you'll be getting, since once you upgrade there's no going back.
Regards.
