HT4623 I have an iPad 1, and there is not a "Software Update" listed under General. How can I connect to the download?

I just realized that there are some apps I no longer have access to since the switch to iOS 5. So I followed the instructions, and there is no SOFTWARE UPDATE tab for me to click on under Settings-General.

See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - 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 5/6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT4623 I can't update software because my iPad doesn't have a update button under general how can I update the software

    I can't get my iPad to update it's not a iPad 2 and it doesn't have a software update button in the the setting and general location.

    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.

    Sorry to hear you are having issues, but there are 2 ways you can print from that device.
    The first one is to simply email photos or documents to your printers email address by attaching them to a new message.
    The other option is to download the HP ePrint Home and Biz app from Google Play. The app is free and should allow you to print pictures and documents to the printer with ease. I have added a link below on how to get started with this app.

  • HT4157 I have an iPad 2 and it does not display the cellular data button under settings

    I have an iPad 2 and it does not display the cellular data button under settings.  It does display a Bluetooth button in its place. I have tried the reset but no luck

    Is the iPad the Cellular version? Does it have an active Data plan? Does it have a Sim card installed in inside it?

  • My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write: tab - just message - how can I restore

    My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write" tab - just "message" how can I restore back to normal?
    Would so much appreciate help... frustrating.

    Sounds like you are missing the Mail Toolbar.
    Do you have a Menu Bar with File-Edit-View etc?
    If not press the alt key to make it appear.
    From the Menu Bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on.
    Write and Address Book are on the Mail Toolbar.
    FYI: The alt key or F10 will make a missing toolbar appear in most applications.

    Yes you will need to NAT at some point to go from private to public address space. Here is a basic configuration if you are interested:
    interface F8
    ip nat inside
    interface G0
    ip nat outside
    ip access-list standard NAT
     permit 192.168.11.0 0.0.0.255
