  • 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.

    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).
