HT4623 I don't have that option (software update) on my ipad

I want the updates on my ipad but i don't  the option software update

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623 - If currently using pre-iOS5 you can only upgrade by connecting with iTunes, not with Software Update.
Back up your device first as updating it can erase content!  See the suggestions in the second paragraph of King_Penguin's 12/2012 post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20520311

  • HT4623 I don't have this option (software update) in my iPad so how I will update iOS on my iPad

    I need to update iOS on my ipad2 but I don't have option software update on my iPad so how I can update it

    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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes Installed on your computer ( v 11.1)

  • HT4623 I  don't have that option in my settings I only have a generation 4 iPod?

    I am loosing programs cause I can't update my iPod. It does not have IOS. In settings there is no where that I can update by pushing a button. How do I update it?

    Your iPod certainly has iOS, but updating iOS from the iPod doesn't arrive until you get iOS 5 or later on it. Connect your iPod touch to your computer and launch iTunes. You'll most likely be prompted to update. For more information and full details, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in the support article you came from:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    You should read this article as well:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Note that if you have a first-generation iPod touch, it can only run up through iOS 3.1.3. A 2nd-generation iPod touch can only run up through iOS 4.2.1.

  • HT4623 I don't have the option of updating. Why is that? I have an iPad 2

    My iPad doesn't give me the option of updating. In the settings it has everything but update.

    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.

    iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
    Search the AppStore for "Foto Calendar". I have not tried any of these apps, but there are quite a few, that claim to be able to create an "Awesome foto calendar"

    Are you sharing your apple id? You can check if your email is included within the message settings in "settings >> messages >> send and receive" and remove it from that list on the other phones.

  • HT4623 I don't have the option to do software updates on my Settings/General menu.

    I don't have the option to do software updates on my Settings/General menu.  How do I get updates?
    GM

    This option was added to the iOS with version 5. If you have an earlier version of the iOS on your phone you need to start iTunes on the computer you normally sync with and connect your phone to the computer. Select your phone in iTunes and select Summary in the row of tabs presented. Scroll down under Summary to find Check for Updates.

  • Pls can someone tell me why I don't have the option to update my software to iOS 7 on my iPad . No update software in general setting.?

    Please can someone help me download ios7 to my iPad when I don't have a software option in my general setting.?

    That started in iOS 5, if you don't have that, you will need to update through iTunes on your computer.

  • I don't have the option for updating software in my IPAD!!! How can I download IOS7?

    When I go to General, in settings, and then go to software update, I don't see the option of update software, it only says "learn more ' about ios7?????

    Well, finally I fixed my problem and was able to download IOS7 on my IPAD.the problem was because there was not enough space on my IPad local storage, so I had to free some space by deleting pics and movies. Now it's working fine, but I learnt that I can have an Iflash drive or a wifi external hard disc to put all my files on and relive my local storage.

  • HT4623 I am trying to update my ipad to iOS 6, but I don't have at the Software Update option. My only choices are About and Usage

    I am trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 6, but I don't have the Software Update option. I only have About and Usage. How can I update?

    In order to update from an IOS earlier than 5.0, you have to hook it up to the computer you sync with to do so.
    Once you have updated, you will see the software update option on your settings. But this feature was not introduced until 5.0...

  • HT201343 I have all the requirements on my computer for mirroring my computer to the apple tv but I don't have that option. why?

    I just bought my macbook pro last March 2012 and I have all the computer requirements for the ability to mirror my computer to my apple tv however I do not have the option on my computer.  Why?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Open  > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you have. You need OS X 10.8 to be able to use AirPlay Mirroring.
    If you haven't got Mountain Lion, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While its installer is being downloaded, make a backup of your data and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When its download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will show up, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay menu on the menu bar.
    If you don't want to upgrade, you can use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
