HT4623 My iPhone 3 doesn't have the software update in settings??

Hi I'm running on iOS 4 and desperately want to update via wifi but not sure if I can do it?? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks x

You can't do it with that model and iOS. Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

  • HT4623 my iphone 3 does no have a software update option why ?

    hi I am trying to update my iphone 3 however there is no software update option under settings. anyone know why or how I can update please

    You need to have iOS 5 installed. Software Update on the iPhone only became available with that update. If your have a 3GS follow this.

  • HT4623 The ipad2 I have doesn't have the software update section!!!!!

    Is this a problem for all iPad 2's or just mine.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then 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'.
    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

    I dont know what is the ios in my ipad and its asking my for update in ordr to install new apps,and the software uodate icon is not in General

    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.

  • I have a dumb phone I am trying to update my operating system but don't have the software update under general setting. I've tried to do this on line but nothing! Help

    I have a dumb phone not a smart phone. It doesn't have the software update under general setting. I tried to upgrade online but nothing! Currently, I cannot get many apps because I need the upgrade. Help

    That's because you don't have iOS 5 or higher. See the following:
    Connect the phone to your computer. Open iTunes. Select your phone from the sidebar under Devices. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Click on the Update button.
