HT4623 How to update your iPhone 4

I want to update my iPhone 4 to the newest version, iOS 5. I have checked many instructions online and followed them, but I still can't update it. The problem is that there is no "Software Update" in my iPhone 4. In "General" at the top, there is only "About" and "Usage" unlike other phones that have "About", "Software Update" and "Usage".
Is there any way I can update my iPhone 4?

You can't update the iOS from the phone itself until iOS 5 is installed.  You have to  update to iOS 5 by connecting to iTunes on your computer.  Once iOS 5 is installed, you'll be able to install future updates over WiFi using the phone alone.

    The iPhone 3G can only Update to iOS 4.2.1
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

  • HT4623 How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps

    How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps?

    I disagree, Mr. WJ:
    If Matt had updated his iPhone via the Cloud and not by USB cable to his computer, the old IOS would still be on the computer and he would be able to "restore" to it. It would depend on what his backup settings were configured.
    For instance, I always backup to my computer at home. But, in the last few days I was notified that IOS 6.1 came out. So, if I wanted, I could install the update via WIFI from where I am at work. But, my old IOS would still be safe on my home computer that I can restore from if need be.
    And then you basically repeated what I stated about Google Maps being a app you can download now.

    You need the current iTunes version.
    With the iPhone connected to iTunes, you should be prompted about an update being avaialble automatically.

    how do i update ipad 2 to ios 5

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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.
