HT4623 I do not have the software update on my phone,My iphone is currently on version 4 , I wish to upgrade to version 6
How can I download version 6 ? My iphone is currently on version 4 and I do not have the software update icon on my phone
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.

I can not seem to update my iPad. To use certain apps I need ios5, however I do not have the software update option to do so. Is it possible to update my iPad any other way?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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).

No. You don't. You can only update over the air if you're already running iOS 5 or higher.

To use iCloud you have to have iOS 5 or later. -
My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there any other way to update the operating system? Thank you
Your tag line shows iOS 6. If you are running iOS 6 you should have it in the settings. Your tag line also shows iPad - so if you have the iPad 1 - you can only update to iOS 5.1.1 and you need a computer running iTunes.
So if You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA.
