  • HT4623 My iPhone does not have "software update" in Settings under General

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4. It has the software it came with - iOS 4.3.3 I believe. I want to upgrade it to iOS6 but I'm not sure how. First, in my settings under general, there is no "upgrade software" section. Second, do I need to upgrade to iOS5 first before I upgrade the phone to iOS6? Also I ended my contract with AT&T months ago & they still have a "no sim" message on my ipad2 (successfully upgraded to IOS 6 after I upgraded using the macpro laptop computer I have to upgrade it to iOS5 it took forever to upgrade to 5 and only 20 minutes to upgrade to 6) anyway, back to my iPhone 4 - I use it on my wireless network at home. I do not use it as a phone and don't plan to. But I use it for so many other things around the house (stay at home mom) like calendars and email and a book. Can anyone help me with the questions I have about upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS6 without losing the newborn baby photos of my 7 month old?
    Thank you!!

    Only iOS 5 and later can be updated "over the air".  If you want to upgrade your iOS you will need to do so using iTunes.

    I would like iOs 6 and ICloud installed to my IPhone 4 but I don't have a software update. How can I get iOs 6 and ICloud??

    You must upgrade through iTunes. That feature requires iOS 5 or later which you apparently don't have. So see:

         If an update is available there will be an active Update button. If you are current,
         then you will see a gray screen with a message saying your are up to date.

  • HT4623 My iphone does not say "software update," how do I update my iphone?

    How do I get the new software update for my iphone 4? when i click on general, there is no place that says "software update."

    you cant do the update from your phone becuase apple put that into the IOS 5.1.1 update and it looks like you are running IOS 4.2.7. So like miller said you need to plug into itunes and update to IOS 6.

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

    You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard.  iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6.   So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running.  A G5 is a PowerPC.  Intel is Intel.
    Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
    What version of iTunes do you have?
    Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine?   Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732
