HT4623 So, I go in under settings on my iphone 4 but it doesn't show software updates. Any ideas?
So, I need to update to a later version of IOS - but when I go under settings on my iphone 4 - it doesn't give me a software update button. I can't seem to find it under any settings - any ideas?
As stedman says, you need to do it via iTunes, but I'll add that the safest way to do it, is to open iTunes when your phone is not connected, and choose to download the update only. Also, turn off automatic sync, if it is on, so you can be in complete control of your sync. After the update has been downloaded, if you connect your phone, you will be prompted to update it if you wish. Do a backup first, and give yourself a few hours, just in case.

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone 4 takes a very long time to open digitally signed emails. I've tried with the SMIME settings enabled, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

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.

I've recently updated the iPod and also restored it. But the problem with the wifi connectivity still prevails. There is also a problem with the battery. After having charged it completely, the usage still doesn't appear in the settings. Any opinions as to what could be the probable problem?
In settings>general>usage it shows --
