HT4623 My iPhone doesn't show software update under general info

Can someone help me?

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.

  • HT4623 My iPod doesn't show "software update" in the settings? What do I do?

    I want to update my iPod to iOS5 but when I go toy settings I don't have the option of software update. How can I upgrade it??

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. This will also update the iOS.

  • HT4623 My phone doesn't show software update mode. Why?

    I have I phone 4. Want to upgrade to IOS6. When I go to general. It does not show me any upgrade button to install. Why?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It only appears on iOS 5 or newer. Connect your iPhone to the PC or Mac and iTunes will ask you to update to the most recent version

  • HT4623 My ipad does not have "Software Update" under Settings/ General asit is an ipda 2 so how do I upgrade to iSO 5?

    I have an iPad 2 and I want to ugrade the sftware to iSO5. When following the instructions I am told to go to Settings / General/ Software Upgarde to then down load the Update. The iPad 2 does not have Software Update under General so how do I install iSO5?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

  • HT4972 Why does my iPad not show software updates in general settings

    Why would an iPad version 4.3.5 not show software updates in general settings

    because it was not there before iOS5.  iOS5 is the first that can incrementally update the iOS on the idevice directly. The older versions must be updated via iTunes.
