HT4623 I can't find "software upgrade" in the General menu

I keep getting messages that I need To update to ios5 but there is no software upgrade in my general menu.

In the article you came from, scroll down to the section titled Update your device using iTunes and follow those directions to update.
You'll need to connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes latest version.

  • HT4623 I. Can't find software update in the general setting . How else can I update my iPod touch.

    Don't have update software under the general settings. How do I update my iPod touch iOS to 4.3 or higher?

    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 to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    Summary: Connect your iPad to a computer running the latest version of iTunes and your update options will appear.
    Here are the last OS versions for each iPod generation:
    An original iPod Touch can run iPhone OS 3.1.3
    2G model: maximum iOS 4.2.1
    3G model: maximum iOS 5.1.1
    4G, 5G can run iOS 6. 

  • I'd like to update the ISO 4.2.1 on an old iPod Touch to ISO 7.  Can't find "Software Update" option under General Setting.  Where might I look for the option to slightly upgrade the ISO for this device?

    IA 4G, with cameras can go to iOS 6.1.6.
    The 5G, also with cameras can go to iOS 8

    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.

  • HT201263 I can't find software update option in general in settings???

    I can't find software update option in general in settings???

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    When trying to update my phone I realize that the line "Software Update" which is supposed to be found between "About" and "Usage" in the General menu simply isn't there. Is there some way to fix this problem or to go around and update to iOS 5 in some other way?

    I went to settings general.  No category for software update.  Categories are about and usage.  Please help

    I dont think that you are running iOS 5 on your iPad.
    Go to Settings>General>About>Versions. See what version you have. You need iOS 5 in order to have software update in the settings.
    If you don't have it and you want it, you will have to update the iOS using itunes on your computer.
