HT4623 my ipad 1 is not showing the update software tab?

I am currently using 1st generation ipad and would like to update the software to ios 4.3 or higher. I am having issues finding the link; can someone help?

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.

  • 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).

    If you don't see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center:
    1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad
    2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    4. Turn on iPad (wait 30 seconds) and test AirPlay

  • 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.

  • Why can I not see the update softwared tab in General?

    I need to update my iPad 2 and there is no "Update Software" tab. Plus, I am unable to access itunes on the ipad. I have checked my wifi connection and it is fine.

    Hi NISTeacher12,
    Apple has been experiencing all kinds of problems the past 2 days with their iTunes Store and many of their other online services. If I was in your shoes, I'd first try a "reset" (different from restarting) by holding down both the Home button AND Sleep/Wake button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Then check to see if you can connect to Apple's services.
    Hope this helps!

  • My ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

    my ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

    pvonk, you were right, something was amiss. It is just a shared calendar (me and my PA) and nothing I could do would seemingly connect the iCal and cloud accounts.
    Late last night I upgraded from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, as I thought that might resolve some settings or minor corruptions in the way my Mac Book was working.
    This morning I opened iCal, and once again it attempted to refresh the page. And a few seconds later my iCloud diary appeared on iCal.
    The moral of this issue is I think as follows.... when you check all the settings and follow all the advice, and something like this is still not working then it could be the software is slightly corrupt, so a re-install or applying an update (if there is one available) will help resolve issues.
    So spot on advice, something was amiss and is now resolved thanks

    You haven't told us which version of iOS you're running.
    Anyway, is it restricted?  Check Settings > General > Restrictions

  • HT4972 my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update the software

    my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update it?

    It isn't in the device pane. If you have selected your iPhone, then on the right side you should see information on what is contained on your iPhone. There should be a number of tabs towards the top, Summary, Info, Music, Photos, etc. Not necessarily in that order. On the Info tab is where you should find the tab. It should look like this.

  • HT4623 My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there another way to install os updates

    My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there any other way to update the operating system? Thank you

    Your tag line shows iOS 6. If you are running iOS 6 you should have it in the settings. Your tag line also shows iPad - so if you have the iPad 1 - you can only update to iOS 5.1.1 and you need a computer running iTunes.
    So if You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad 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.

    You can't. iOS 5 requires an iPhone 3GS or better, or a third generation or newer iPod touch.
