I'm trying to update my ipod iOS...when it says to go into "Settings/General/Software Update", I don't have a "Software Update" option in my General category.  Is there somewhere else I need to look in order to get iOS updates?

Updating from the ipod itself is a feature of ios 5 or later.
You would need to update as always.  Turn on computer, open itunes, connect ipod.
The first gen ipod will only go to 3.1.3

    Hi inGeniousty
    It was a couple of months ago that I had the problem.  I did manage to sort it out and I think what I did was as follows. 
    You don't say whether you have your wi-fi turned on.  Part of my problem was the the wi-fi on my iPad was turned off, so, whatever my response to the pop-up, it wasn't sending a message to iCloud and it therefore just kept coming straight back.  I think what I did was to select the Cancel option on the pop-up and then really quickly (during the 1 second when the pop-up was off the screen) I tapped the Settings icon on the main iPad screen.  The pop-up immediately reappeared, but at least by that time I was in my settings screen.  I again selected the Cancel option on the pop-up and, this time, turned on the wi-fi during the 1 second when the pop-up was off-screen.  When the pop-up immediately reappeared, the wi-fi had connected me to the internet, so I could select the Canel option on the pop-up and this time it did actually cancel the pop-up permanently. 
    I really sympathise with your frustration - I love my iPad, but it really is exasperating when this type of problem occurs and there's no Apple shop in town!

  • HT4623 How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if you don't have a software button option?

    How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if the Software button is non-existent?

    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 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

  • It keeps saying my hard drive is almost full even though I delete as much as possible and use an external hard drive, cant figure out where else I need to look?

    I've tried to keep my computer as organized and clean as possible. I only have 400 songs and not a ton of pictures. I can't figure out where else I need to look on my hard drive. Any suggestions?

    I can't really figure out how much I have left in memory but here is some basic info:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro5,5
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.26 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          2 GB
    Is there somewhere to look to see a breakdown of what memory is used where?
    Thanks for your help!

    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 Trying to update my ipad 2 - went to Settings, General but I don't have a Software Update option.  Now what?

    Trying to update my ipad2 - went to Settings, General but I don't have a Software Download option.  Now what?

    Very old versions of the iOS prior to iOS 5 did not have the option to update over the air by using the Settings app. If your iOS is lower than 5.0 you need to update your iPad while connected to the computer you normally sync with.
    First thing to do is start iTunes on your computer and use the menu to check for updates. Your iTunes must be version 11.1 so it you have and earlier version of iTunes on your computer update iTunes to 11.1.
    Then start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in iTunes and select General or Summary in the right side panel. Do a backup of your iPad next.
    Once the backup is complete click on Check for updates.

    My iTunes Library is on my computer, I have done a backup manually, and all of my music is on an external hard drive (as well as my iTunes library).

    Thanks a lot Recycle bin is empty, I will move some files from the C drive to an external hard drive, then do the update, and then move the files back. Any files you recommend not moving to the external hard drive at all?

  • I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync it to one library.  I want to sync it to the previous library but how do I get it to go there?

    I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync to one library.  I want to sync it to the original library bc that is the one that has all songs.  It keeps giving me a library with just songs that I have bought on itunes.  I never created a new library so I am not sure why it is doing this.  How do I get it to sync to my original library?  I have already tried to restore a previous version of itunes but that did not help.

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.
