  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT4623 my iphone is not showing any updates it has 4.2.1 version how can i update it to 6.1

    my iphone is not showing any updates it has 4.2.1 version how can i update it to 6.1

    You can't. iOS 5 requires an iPhone 3GS or better, or a third generation or newer iPod touch.

    I don't have the "software update" in general setting .. How can I update my iPad ?

    Software updates to iOS can only be done from the iPad when you have iOS 5. You will need to update through iTunes to get the latest version, after which you will be able to update directly from the iPad if you wish.

    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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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).
