If you are running iOS 4 or earlier you will have to update using iTunes on your computer.

Since there is no "Software Update", you are not yet up to iOS 5. That is where that feature was introduced.
So your only choice is to use iTunes to update your software.

I'm trying to update the software on my iPad and my iPhone, I went to setting then general, but I don't see software update icon.

That options comes with iOS 5. Yo need to connect the iPad to your computer and update via iTunes. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.

You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
There are some important things that you should know before you update.

The updating instructions are in this article. Make sure you read the part about using iTunes.

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).

HT6114 Im trying to update my software but when i click on the apple up top, it says no updates for my computer yet im only at 10.5

please help me update my software so i can update itunes to back my phone up

First you need to buy > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
Then update it to > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
At that point you can update iTunes, then connect and sync your iPhone.
Then if your MacBook meets the > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements, you can go to the Mac App Store and upgrade to Mavericks.

You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA.
