HT4623 My Iphone 3G dose not have software update on it?

my iphone 3g has no software in general settings

That's correct, iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for the iPhone 3G, there are no further updates available, & the iPhone 3G cannot be updated OTA.

  • HT4623 my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings General Software Update

    my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings > General > Software Update ...... NOT THERE

    No. It doesn't. That is only present if you are already running iOS 5 or higher.
    Since the iPhone 3G can NOT run anything higher than 4.2.1, you will never see it on that phone.

  • HT4623 My Settings General does not have "Software Update"

    Trying to update iPad OS but Settings>General doesn't have "Software Update" item. Any guidance what to do to update the iPad OS?

    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

    If it's an iPad 1 then it should update to iOS 5.1.1, an iPad 2 (and 3) to iOS 6.0.1 (iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change).

  • HT4623 My Ipad 2 does not have software update in General. How to update to iOS ?

    no software update in General. How to update to the latest version .

    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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    No.
    Looks like yours could be a 2nd Gen... If so... iOS 4,2,1 is as far as it can go

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it...
    if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

    My 3G phone does not give me the option "update software" under general.

    Go back to the article you asked this question from, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

    Correct, Software Update does not appear in iOS until iOS 5.  The iPhone 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.
    Note the iPhone 3G came out almost five years ago.

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have Software Update option??  How do I update to iOS5?

    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 are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • 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.
