HT4623 i don't have a "software updates" button between "about" and "usage"

cannot update apps, need ios 5 or better.  now have 4.3.5  iPad 2

There are some steps half-way down this page : Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Before starting the update copy any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option. And preferably take your own copy of any important documents and/or photos that you have on the iPad - they should be included in the backup but it's best to have your own copy just in case.
Copying photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
To copy documents you might be able to use file sharing on your computer's iTunes : iOS: About File Sharing
or you might be able to copy them off via your wifi network or by emailing them to yourself - different apps supports different ways of copying content to/from them.

  • HT4623 i don't have the "software update" button in the general settings bit on my unlocked iphone 3GS? how do i update my iphone 3gs?

    i have an unlocked iphone 3gs, and i want to update it. it doesnt have a software update button in the settings section under general. how do i do it? would i have to plug the iphone into the computer of the person who used it before i did? please help!

    Plug it into itunes with the USB cable.  The over the air update feature is a new feature, not part of iOS4, so you do not have it to use until you update.

  • HT4623 There is no "Software Update" visible between "About" and "Usage" in General Settings, as shown in the example. And I can't find it anywhere else, either, so I am stymied at the first step of trying to update. Ideas?

    I am stymied at the first step of trying to update my IPad software, as there is no "Software Update" choice visible in General Settings. And I can't find it anywhere else, either. Ideas?

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

    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 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.

    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.

  • HT4623 I don't have a software update option on my iPad 2. How do I install IOS 6?

    How do I install? Also how do I get the software update button to appear in my settings option?

    If you are running an iOS version under 5.0 you will not have the update software option show up in settings>general. You will need to download the newest version of iTunes from iTunes.com and install it on your computer if running Windows, if using a Mac you need at lest OS X 10.6.8 to install the newest iTunes from the software update. Once you have iTunes installed on your system just plug in the iPad and it was let you know that an update is available for download and install to the iPad. Make sure you do backup/sync your iPad before updating to the newer iOS.
