HT4623 My I pad does not have a software update tab, how can I update?
My I pad does not have a software update tab when you go to settings and general. Is there another way to update?
The Software update button was only added in iOS 5. If you have anythng less than that you will need to connect your iPad to a computer running the latest version of Itunes and update through there.
In the article you came from, scroll down to the section titled Update your device using iTunes. And follow those steps to update. -

I cannot update my iPhone 4. I have erased all content and reset the phone, however, there is still no "software update" under the general settings on my phone. I keep trying to download the update through iTunes and it quits everytime without success. Any suggestions?
READ the entire article from which the question was posted.
It clearly states that the "Update Software" option ONLY applies to iOS 5 and later.
If there are issues with updating via iTunes, provide specific details of what is occurring so that we can offer relevant solutions. -

Hello, I have an ipad2 with iOS 4.2.7 but am trying to update it to a 5 or so. The problem is that the"settings" environment on my pad does not have the "software update" option. Please what do I do to enable me update my iOS? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

You don't have a software update on your phone because you need IOS 5.0 or higher to OTA.

My first gen iPad does not offer the software update option on the general settings page. How do I update without this selection
That only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, you will need to do the 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 > 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 by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

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.
