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.

  • HT4623 I do not have the option to select software update. How might I resolve this?

    I do not have the option to click on "software update" and wish to update to iOS 5.1. How might I resolve this?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

  • HT4623 I don't have the option to for a "software update"

    I'm trying to upgrade my iTouch to IOS 5.  It doesn't give me an option for a "software update" in general settings...it is a gen 2 itouch...is it too old?

    Sorry, the 2nd gen can not be upgraded beyond 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.

  • I don't have the option to create a new table in my database

    Hi, I have SQL 2014, for some reason, a few weeks ago I was able to create a new table for my databases, now, I don't have the option to do so, all I get when I right click on tables is "Tables..." instead of "New Table", when I select
    "Tables..." it allows me to write my codes but it doesn't save except in a text files witch doesn't want to open when I want to resume my work.
    Is there any option in SQL to activate the "New Table" by right clicking on Tables? I have all the rights and permissions available to my use as it's my computer and my own server. 
    To fix the issue I tried
    -Re-installing SQL
    -Changed for 4 different versions
    -Allowing more than necessary permissions 
    -Making it public to use (it's only to test it, anyway, I'm in the learning phase)
    Any kind of help or advice will be welcome and much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I don't know the reason why you are experiencing this, so what I am describing below are just some steps that you can take to diagnose the problem if it is related to a permissions issue.
    1. If you are not already on the computer where SQL Server is installed, login on that box and launch SQL Server Management Studio and run it as Administrator.
    2. Connect to the Server and open up the object explorer and expand the Security node that is directly under the Sever tab.
    3. Under logins, find your login, right-click properties and see what kind of server level permissions you have, and which databases you are mapped to and what kind of permissions you have on those.
    It may just be that this is not related to permissions at all, but I can't think of what that would be. To test whether it is a SSMS GUI problem or not, open up a query window and select a database on which you think you have permissions to create tables.
    Then create a test table using T-SQL, for example:
    create table dbo.MyTestTable( col1 int);

  • In MAX, I don't have the option to create a DAQmx Simluated Device. Why not?

    I'm new to LABView.  I installed the software, including the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).  Within MAX, I am trying to create a DAQmx Simulated Device, as suggested in a training guide (which I quote below).  I don't have the option to create such a thing upon right-clicking on "Devices and Interfaces".  I am given the option to create a new GPIB-VXI Interface, a Port, VISA TCP/IP Resource, and GPIB-ENET/100.  I'd appreciate if someone can help me to create a simulated device according to the following steps, given that I currently lack the option "NIDAQmx Simulated Device":
    3. Create a simulated DAQ device for use later in this course. Simulated devices are a powerful tool for development without having hardware physically installed in your
    computer. Right-click Devices and Interfaces and select Create New…»NIDAQmx Simulated Device. Click “Finish”.
    4. Expand the M Series DAQ section. Select PCI-6220 or any other PCI device of your choice. Click “OK”.
    Thanks.

    It sounds like you didn't install DAQmx. Open MAX and get a list of the software present. If you don't see DAQmx listed, install it from the CD/DVD or download the latest version.

  • I don't have the option to run firefox 8 in 32 bit mode on my computer

    The majority of the websites I try to open give me a pop up saying I need to open them in "32 Bit Mode". When I go to the applications, then Firefox, I don't have the option of 32 bit mode there. Do I have to download it? My dad has it on his computer, he has Firefox 8, same as me.

  • I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do?

    I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do so I iPhoto becomes an option in iTunes?

    I didn't have iPhoto so I had to purchase it from the App store but that didn't help. I think the problem is because my devices still think they are synced to the previous version of my mac, but I don't know how to get them to sync with the new setup.

  • Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

    Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
    Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

    Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
    If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
    If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area  -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
    Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users
    For setting up records to point to external mail server, check out http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users/creating-inboxes- for-your-users
