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.

You do not have that option with iOS 4. You must update using iTunes.

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.

I have a dumb phone I am trying to update my operating system but don't have the software update under general setting. I've tried to do this on line but nothing! Help

I have a dumb phone not a smart phone. It doesn't have the software update under general setting. I tried to upgrade online but nothing! Currently, I cannot get many apps because I need the upgrade. Help

That's because you don't have iOS 5 or higher. See the following:
Connect the phone to your computer. Open iTunes. Select your phone from the sidebar under Devices. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Click on the Update button.

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.

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.

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.

I would like to update my software but the option is not showing as available on my phone under settings. What should I do?

The iPhone will tell you when there is an update ready to be installed. Or it will do it by itself.
Thanks:)
