When I go to settings > general, there is no prompt for "software update." how can I update my iPad?
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.

im trying to update my phone, but when i go into settings, then general, there is no update option?, why?, please help
Then you will need to update to iOS 5.1.1 as outlined above. A word of caution before updating: be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing with a supported program such as Outlook, to an online service such as Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup). Failure to do so risks losing your data.
Syncing an iPhone 4 requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
You will first need to meet these system requirements in order to sync (and update) your phone. -
I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs from version 4.2 but under settings-general there is no update link. This is probably a frequently asked question, so I'm sorry but I'm new to this.
That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...

HT4623 I have an Ipad 1 and when I go to Settings General , there is no Software Update option.
How can i update my Ipad 1 my OIS to 5 or greater as I can't run certain app's that require OIS 5 or better ?
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).
Cheers, Tom -
Unsure how to update, as of course I need it to run certain apps. My I pad has never prompted me to do so either.

Using iPad. Having trouble with settings and trying to update. When I click settings, then general, I do not get the option to update software. Need to update iOS from 4.1 to 6. Also unable to purchase iBooks. Thanks much
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.

Can anyone tell me how to update from 4.2.6?
Check to make sure you don't have two firewalls (i.e. a Windows firewall and one on your router).
If that's not it, you may need to dig deeper ... like temporarily changing your router's DNS to use Google's DNS or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS. Or maybe open up a certain port on your router (not sure which one that would be though, sorry). Or, if your computer is connected to the internet over wi-fi, try connecting to your router (or modem) via Ethernet, I heard of that solving a problem like this (though I can't confirm if that was real). -

This feature is only available on devices running ios 5 or later.
You will need to update via itunes.

You're on iOS 4, which does not support over-the-air updates.
Plug your iPad into iTunes on your computer, and update your software that way (hit "Check for Updates" after synching). After you update, you'll be able to do future updates over-the-air. -
I am trying to update my iPad 2,but hen I go to settings/ general, there is no update software to click on! It goes from about to usage?

I have a 2nd generation itouch. Is there any way I can sync it to my MacBookPro 10.6.8 without purchasing either a newer itouch or an iphone?
No problem. It will sync fine. You do not need to do anything special.

I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug it it, itunes recognizes it but the light flashes green a few times and then stops. It is not charging. Is the battery dead or can something else be wrong? Any advice??
To rule out a problem with the shuffle's onboard software, I would try a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help, you should do a test to confirm there is not a problem on the USB port, such as lack of power to operate the iPod and charge it battery. Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.
If that does not help, it is more likely that the problem is a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as the battery. -
Can I restore 1st generation data to 2nd generation iTouch?
My teens 1st gen iTouch was stolen but good thing is a recent sync and backup is on her Mac so we have everything. I just got her a 2nd generation iTouch and before I do anything I wanted to ask as I know I can easily mess this up.
When I hook it up for the first time and I assume it asks to restore or treat as new what should I do to ensure her purchased music and apps get put on her new iTouch?
Thanks for helping an old guy out here to look good to save his daughters iPod data. :O)Thank you for the reply. I also found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
At the bottom of the article it has:
Restoring your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a previous backup
If you upgrade or otherwise replace your device with a newer device, you may be able to restore the previous backup to the new device. For upgrading from the original iPhone to iPhone 3G, see these instructions. You can upgrade one device with the backup from a different type of device; most settings will transfer to the new device.
Note: During the process of restoring your old backup to a new device, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
I will try your suggestions and am sure all will be fine.
