  • 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.

  • HT4972 I have an ipad version 3.2.2 and it does not have a software update tab in settings how do I update to ios 5?

    I have an ipad version 3.2.2 and it does not have a software update tab under settings, how can I update to ios 5 software?

    Connect it to your syncing PC and update using iTunes on the PC. The OTA (over the air & under Settings>General>Software Update) update was introduced with iOS 5.

  • I have iphoto11 but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

    I am using  iphoto11 in OS lion but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

    Shift - command - f  is the short cut to go to full screen - esc will return from Full screen to normal
    as far as to where the commands are - I am (and everyone her is) a user just like yourself - we can (sometimes) help with how to use iPhoto - we can not explain why Apple makes decisions nor can we make or affect any changes

    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 on my "General Page" - How do I update my phone?

    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 I do not have the "Software Upgrade" window in my Settings, General.  Alternative way to upgrade?

    I have an IPad 2.  I tried to use Netflix and it told me that I needed to have iOS 6.1.2.  Turns out I do not have the one before that either.  I never got an alert as I did on my iphone 4s.   When I ask the how to question, apple support tells me to go to Settings, General, Software update.  Problem is I do not have software update available as a choice.  Are there alternative ways to upgrade?  Thanks.  I did notice on other discussion boards that other Netflix users are pulling their hair out since the upgrade to 6.1.2.

    Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

    IOS 4 will not update over the air (WiFi etc). You need to plug it to iTunes. After that you can do future updates over the air.
