HT4623 My iPad 2 does not show the Software Update option.

My iPad 2 does not show the Software Update option.  When I try to update with iTunes the iPad times out.

Disable or turn off your anti-virus and firewall software on your computer and try the download again.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - 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 5/6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have the "software update" option at all. I'm running on iOS V 4.3.5 now

    I'm wondering how to do a software update for my iPad. Under the settings section there is no "software upgrade" option. Please help!
    Thank you,
    Kristi

    Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune to update software.

  • 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.

  • HT4623 my phone does not have the software update option

    my ipone 4 does not have the software update option?

    Do the following:
    Open the App Store app on your phone and update all your apps so the will work with the new iOS.
    Connect your phone to your computer and open iTunes.  If prompted that there is an update available, decline.
    Sync with iTunes to create a new backup and transfer any purchases from your phone to your iTunes library.
    Import your photos to your computer for safekeeping as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Go back to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update (or Update).
    This will download iOS to your computer (which may take a while), then install the update on your phone.  Pay attention to the progress information in iTunes on the top of the screen, and any information that appears on your phone during this process to be sure you don't disconnect your phone prematurely.

  • HT4623 my ipod does not have the software update option

    When I connect to itunes to update my ipod it tells me my ipod is updated but when I try to download an app it tells me I need to update to iOS 5. How do I fix this problem?

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes

    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    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
