HT4623 I don't have an update icon under general on the original ipad; how do I update to IOS 4.3?

I am trying to update to IOS 4.3 or 5 on the 1st ipad.  I went under general but there is not an update icon to push, then I went to itunes and I thought
I was updating but didn't happen.  I am very frustrated, can anyone help?

iOS 4 does not have an over-the-air update.
Scroll down to the "Update your device using iTunes" section of the HT4623 article you attached above.

  • If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in the ibooks? the menu tap bar does not appear at the top of the screen like the new ipad2. Any suggestions?

    If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in ibooks? The menu bar does not pop up like it does on the ipad2. Any suggestions?

    Are you in Safari and you want to copy them to iBooks, or you in a different app ? Assuming that you are using Safari, then if I open a PDF on my first gen iPad in Safari and tap on it, I then get a pop-up bar at the top of it with the 'Open In' options.

    Which iPod Touch you got!?
    If you are on iOS 5 you should be able to find it in Settings -> General -> Software Update
    If not, first, make sure you've got the latest version of iTunes.
    After you got the latest version, connect the iPod and hit the update button. iTunes will download the latest iOS for your iPod depending on it's generation.
    3rd, 4th Generation - iOS 5.1.1
    2nd Generation - iOS 4.2.1
    1st Generation - 3.1.3
    This should solve your issue

  • HT4623 I don't have "software update" under my general settings. How do I update my iPhone4 iOS?

    Hi. I have an iphone4 and can't update my iOS. I don't have "software update" as a option under general settings. How do I update my phone?

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPhone to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • HT4623 I don't have software update in my iPad 2 under the setting, where can I find this?

    I want to be able to update latest iOS but I don't have the software update section under the setting, what do I need to do?

    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 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.
