HT4623 My menu does not have a SW update option and my pad is 18 months old how do I update iOS?

My ipad2 is 18 months old, I'd like to update the iOS but there is no SW update option under the Settings, General menus. How do I update the iOS. Huw

You may have had that iPad for 18 months but it must have sat in the store for a while before that. If there is no update choice in Settings then you must have an iOS version prior to ios 5. For those older versions you must update while your iPad is connected to the computer you normally sync with and while running iTunes on that computer.
Start iTunes on the computer, connect your iPad, select your iPad in iTunes and select Summary from the row of tabs that is presented. Scroll down under Summary to find Check for Updates.

  • My Bridge Tools menu does not have Photoshop submenu

    Hi,
    In Bridge CS3, I just noticed that the Tools menu does not have a Photoshop submenu and therefore I cannot apply Batch commands - among other things.
    I have the latest version (2.1.1.9) in MAC OS X Leopard. What is going on?
    I have a friend that has the same program in Windows Vista and has the Photoshop submenu...
    Please help!
    Juan Dent

    Check your preference folder start up scripts. Inhere the startup script should have a checkmark on it. if not put in on and after restart the script should be there.
    Otherwise try a refresh preferences holding down the option key when restarting bridge.

  • My ipad2 settings menu does not have an update software listed. I'm trying to update to ios5

    My ipad2 settings page menu does not have an 'update software' on it. How do I update to ios5?

    The update to iOS 5 is a lengthy process.  Your entire device is being backed up, then wiped, then the new OS is installed, then your apps, etc., rebuilt on the device.  If you have a lot apps, etc., on your device it will take a long time to update.

  • Windows 8 does not have a USB boot option

    QuestionHow can I boot my Windows 8 laptop from a USB device? I created a recovery disk on a USB thumb drive.
    So far I have:
    Entered into the UEFI (BIOS) and set USB to boot first.
    Disabled secure boot.
    I tried to reboot using the general setup options for startup in the windows settings page. I choose boot from USB through the UEFI, but got an error message that system does not have a USB boot option.
    To confirm I also created a bootable DVD with an ISO burner, but my laptop cannot detect a DVD boot option either.
    I assumed that the firmware of the UEFI for this computer allowed a bootable USB but in practice I cannot seem to get this work.
    AnswerTo assist with not being able to boot from a USB device on a Windows 8 laptop, perform the following:
    Plug in USB bootable device.
    Hold down F12 when restarting and access UEFI menu (option is below drive list). If system is set to fast boot, CLICK HERE for instructions on entering the UEFI.
    Go to UEFI and make USB "1st boot".
    Disable secure boot.
    Go to the "Advance" Tab, select "System".
    Change boot order from UEFI to CSM.
    Save changes and exit (F10).
    Computer will restart and boot from USB drive.
    When finished go back into the UEFI and set defaults then save changes and exit (F10). Windows 8 will reboot normally next reboot.

    Done that, only choices are "Set up Firefox to Sync" & "Pair a Device". No ''UNLINK THIS DEVICE". Your turn.

  • Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

    The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

    I'm not sure I can make sense of this but without asking too many questions, you can resolve your question by contacting iTunes direct.
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    But they will be wondering about the reference to hacking and you feeling bad about getting something for free.
    Best step in my view is to make sure you don't get similarly involved in future.  You must know roughly what you were doing.   Then writie it off to a not to be repeated experience.

  • Cannot find anyplace to tell a page to wrap within browser margins, so one does not have to slide it back and forth to read each line.

    Cannot find anyplace to tell a page to wrap within browser margins, so one does not have to slide it back and forth to read each line::::::::::::
    Yes, there are so many pages on-line that -- when made small enough to fit within the margins so one does no have to use a scroll bar on EVERY line, moving it back and forth, back and forth -- look like a FINE-print Bible page (!! tiny !!) if you keep reducing it to fit within the margins.
    ALL because we cannot find a place to tell it to WRAP to FIT. Could have sworn I've seen some feature like that somewhere at one time, but if it is here, I cannot find it.
    Thank you.

  • I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

    Try any of the following:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM  
    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

  • HT4623 My phone does not have. A software update tab in general menu

    How do I upgrade iOS if I can't get into software menu.
    This handset does not have the software tab

    If you have an iOS version lower than 5, you won;t have an Update button in settings as it was only added in on iOS 5.  You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
    In the article you came from, Scroll down to the section titled: Update your device using iTunes
