HT4623 I don't have a 'software' option under settings, general....how do I update to 4.03 or newer?

I need to update my Iphone 4 to @ least i4.03 so that I can install instgram....when I go to settings/general....there is no software option...how do I acquire software updates?

Correct; you need at least iOS 5 to have a software update option on your iPhone.
Your only option is to connect your iPhone to iTunes and, once synced, do a "Check for Update" on the right side in iTunes' summary tab.

  • HT4623 Why don't I see "software upgrade" under settings/general.

    Need to upgrade my os on iPad....instructions say go to settings/general/software upgrades......I don't have a software upgrades?   I am connected to Internet.....

    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 don't have the Software UpgradeTab under General Settings to Push and then auto upgrade?

    I don't get a "Software Upgrade" Tab under General Settings.  So I can't figure out how to upgrade my IPOD.  It's two years old and its' never been upgraded, so I don't even know what version  of Software it has on it right now.  Please advise.  Thanks.

  • HT201263 "Software Update" is not shown as an option under Settings/General- how can I get iOS 5.1 on my iPad?

    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.

  • HT4972 My iPad does not have a software tab under settings.  Facebook froze so I deleted it and now cannot get it back bc I do not have iOS 5.  I do not want to lose pictures,music and apps...help!

    Facebook froze so I deleted it and tried to upload it again but I do not have ios5.  My iPad does not have a software tab under settings.  Help!

    Do you sync with iTunes? If you do, your Facebook app should be in your iTunes library and you can simply sync the old version back to the iPad.
    If you want to update your iPad, back up first and sync first and you should have no worries.
    You only have the option in Settings if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
    From iOS 4 or lower - Here are the instructions.

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).

  • HT4623 I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone?

    I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone so I can download apps?

    Are you referring to updating the iOS? Software update for the phone has nothing to do with downloading apps. The only time the OTA software update for the phone iOS was after iOS 5. If you are looking to update applications, then go to the App store and select updates.

    I don't have the "software update" in general setting .. How can I update my iPad ?

    Software updates to iOS can only be done from the iPad when you have iOS 5. You will need to update through iTunes to get the latest version, after which you will be able to update directly from the iPad if you wish.
