HT4623 I do not have a "software update" button on my IPAD and I am trying to download !OS 5.

I am trying to update my IPAD to include !OS 5.  I have followed the instructions but I do not have a "software button" under general settings.

Assuming you have an iOS version below 5 since you don't have the update button. You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.

    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.

  • HT4623 How do I update if my iPad does not have the software update button in between about and usage?

    How do I update my software to iOS 5 if I do not have the update software button in between about and usage in my general settings?

    You'll need to connect the iPad to a computer running the latest version of iTunes.  If the computer does not belong to you, make sure you create a backup (not a sync) before installing the update.

  • HT4623 Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

    Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well 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 force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    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
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google do have app versions in the store

    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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    I do not have a software update option under my general settings.  How do I update to ios 4.0 to get free apps???

    ... and the option to update the software from the iPod using Settings/General is not available on iOS 4 or earlier.
    You can get free Apps with iOS 3.x - providing they will run on the version you have. That's dependant upon your model of iPod. So before anything else, which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod and do you know which model you own?
