    how do i update the software on an iphone 3gs when the software update option is not in the settings on the phone?

    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.

  • HT5457 my iphone 4 has not been updated since purchase almost a year ago.it does not have the software update option in settings. how do i get to update? settings. How do I update it

    My iphone 4 has not been updated since I purchased it a year ago. When I go to settings to click software update as per instructions, the software update is not listed. How & where do I go  to update my phone?
    Thanks

    You'll have to use iTunes on your computer to get your iPhone to the latest version of iOS. From there you'll be able to update directly from the iPhone for future releases.

    Connect it to your syncing PC and update using iTunes on the PC. The OTA (over the air & under Settings>General>Software Update) update was introduced with iOS 5.

  • HT4623 My general settings page does not have a software update option, any ideas on what to do?

    My general settings page does not have the software update option on it does anyone know what I need to do? Was trying to update iOS

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to follow the second part of that article and 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'.
    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

    If it's a first gen iPad then it should be update to iOS 5.1.1, if it's an iPad 2 (or 3) then it will update to iOS 6 (so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change).

  • HT4623 my general button does not have a Software Update option....why?

    my general button does not have a Software Update option....why? I am trying to update my Ipad 2 and it wont give the option to do so.

    Because it's running an iOS version prior to 5.0 and must be updated from iTunes on a computer.

  • HT4623 I'm updating from 4 not 5 and under General it does not have a Software Update option. How do i update ???

    I'm updating from 4 not 5 and under General it does not have a Software Update option. How do i update ???

    To update the iOS to 5.1.1 from iOS version end prior to iOS 5 you must connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes.
    Start iTunes on the computer, connect the iPad, select the iPad in iTunes on the computer. If you are not automatically prompted to update select the General or Summary tab and then click on Check for Updates.

  • 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.

  • HT4972 My ipad2 does not have the software update option in the settings environment. Please what do I do?

    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.

  • HT4623 I do not have a software update option under my general settings.  How do I update to ios 4.0 to get free apps???

    I do not have a software update option under my general settings.  How do I update to ios 4.0 to get free apps???

    ... and the option to update the software from the iPod using Settings/General is not available on iOS 4 or earlier.
    You can get free Apps with iOS 3.x - providing they will run on the version you have. That's dependant upon your model of iPod. So before anything else, which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod and do you know which model you own?
