  • HT4623 I don't have update software how do I update?

    May u help?

    Settings>General>Software Update is only available in 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).

  • HT4623 I don't have the "software update" in general setting .. How can I update my iPad ?

    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.

  • HT4623 I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone?

    I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone so I can download apps?

    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 my phone has no update software link in settings/general

    my phone doesn't seem to have a update software link in settings/general. can you help?

    That setting requires iOS 5.0 or higher. In your case, you must use iTunes on your computer to update your phone. Once you do that, you'll have the over the air update setting.

  • HT4623 I don't have a software update option in my general settings?

    I'm trying to upgrade my software but don't have asoftware update option under my general settings?
    Can anyone help.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    Amazing, you found the instructions.  You actually posted your question from that page.
    Too bad you did not read the entire article.

  • 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.

  • HT4623 I don't have a software update in my settings; where else or how can I update my IPhone 4?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The iPhone 3G is only compatible with iOS 4.2.1 or early. Connect the iPhone to the computer and iTunes will ask you to update iOS to the latest version
