Since you dont have ios 5 then you have to update from itunes. And make sure you back up.

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to download IOS if under settings there is no software update button available. Do I have to reset my iPad and lose data?

    My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to get IOS 6 onto it. When I go into settings there is no software update button.

    If you are really on iOS 5 then look in Settings > General > Software update.
    Otherwise:
    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • HT4623 MY IPAD DOES NOT HAVE THE TERM SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE GENERAL LIST ??

    i am try to update my ipad to 5 and do not have the term software update on my genral page?? how do i proceed?

    iPad first generation doesn't update beyond 4.2.1, you need at least iPad 2 for this.
    If you're using iPad 2 or later, you should connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer and update from there.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open App Store > Purchases, and see if iPhoto app is listed. If not, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 Apart from that, check that iPhoto is in Applications folder. If not, put it in this folder.
    If nothing works, remove iPhoto, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto free of charge

  • My apple tv seems to have hung up during the latest software update - what should I do now?

    my apple tv seems to have hung up during the latest software update - what should I do now?
    I have not turned it off but it has been stuck in the same spot for 30 minutes now and I'm not sure what to do next since the screen says to NOT turn it off until done. Please help.

    If it hangs much longer you may need to disconnect and then grab a micro USB to restore through iTunes

  • HT4623 My phone does not have. A software update tab in general menu

    How do I upgrade iOS if I can't get into software menu.
    This handset does not have the software tab

    If you have an iOS version lower than 5, you won;t have an Update button in settings as it was only added in on iOS 5.  You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
    In the article you came from, Scroll down to the section titled: Update your device using iTunes

  • HT1430 I have IPad 1 and for some of my game Apps, I need at least IOS 4.3.  How do I update my IPad?  I have gone to settings, General, but I do not have the option fo update..should k call Apple Tech?

    I have IPad 1 and for some of my game Apps, I need at least IOS 4.3. I open my IPad to Settings, General, but there is no "update" to select..should I call Apple Tech to have my IPad updated???thanks

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, you will need to update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for a first gen iPad is iOS 5.1.1

  • HT4623 My ipod touch does not have the option "software update." It currently has the version4.2.1. How do I update the software?

    How do I update the software?

    Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

  • HT4623 i have an iphone 4 and i'm trying to get a new app that needs iOS 5, but when i go to setting and general and places i'm unable to find the category software update. what should i do?

    I have no idea how to do this.

    Over The Air updating came with iOS 5 so you do have to update using iTunes.
    I would recommend always updating using iTunes,  my personal and very unscientific resrearch into the problems that many people have with updates and then having poor battery life and wifi issues indicates that the common thread among them and not being able to resolve the problems seems to be updating OTA.  I would always update using iTunes. 

  • My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
    I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
    If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

    You do not have iOS 5 or later installed. You need to connect to your computer and update using iTunes.
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on the desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    No, you'll have to use Mission control for that.  It's either located on the dock, the F3 key on recent laptops on a swipe on the trackpad.
