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.

I know I'm way behind, can somebody help me get updated? Thanks!
You need to update via iTunes on a computer. Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes on your computer as well.
Once you update to iOS 5.1, then you will have that Software Update in your settings for over the air updates.
This will explain how to update your device.

I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs from version 4.2 but under settings-general there is no update link. This is probably a frequently asked question, so I'm sorry but I'm new to this.
That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
You have iOS 4... See Here...

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...

Recent photos may be in your Photo Stream or in your iCloud backup if you chose to enable those backups.
If you were only backing up through iTunes and didn't complete a backup recently, then your photos are gone.

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).

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, my music stats (play count, last played, etc.) no long sync to iTunes. How can I fix this? Thanks for the help.
If you have any podcasts in your iTunes library you should see a Podcasts sync setting tab to the right when you connect your phone and click on its name on the left sidebar (see image below). On this tab check to sync podcasts and sync your phone.

I am trying to activate LR6 on a laptop that will not be connected to the internet. I have clicked on the link for offline activation, but it says to follow the instructions till it says "having trouble connecting to the internet". I never get there. How do I get it to generate the code that I can take to an internet enabled device so I can validate it?

I have a new iphone 5c. How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !! Can anyone help? Susie
Thank you Chris. Yes I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off. All the forums visited said it was under general. I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly. Susie

I purchased Words with Friends on my iPad. I then purchased an iPhone, however, this app is not showing up under "purchased". How can I download to iPhone without paying for it again?
Which version did you buy on your iPad ? If you bought the HD version then that is only compatible with the iPad, so you will need to buy the iPhone/Pod version (or download the free version) if you want to use it on your iPhone.
