HT4623 Software update is missing from my ipad
I can not find the software button on my iPad it has disappeared what do I do?
No it didn't disappear.
You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
There are some important things that you should know before you update.

The updating instructions are in this article. Make sure you read the part about using iTunes.

I am prompted to download iOS 5.1.1. "software update" Is missing from "Settings".
I am trying to download an app for my son and I am prompted to download iOS 5.01.01. I don't have the option in settings to update my iOS. Any ideas?
If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

HT4623 Software updates does not appear on iPad under settings, general
Trouble with down loading io5
You must use a cable to get to IOS-5. Then, the "updates" option will appear under settings for future updating via WiFi.

According to your info, you have an iPad first generation and iOS 4.3. That version of iOS doesn't support OTA updates. And iOS6 is not supported on the iPad first generation.

Im trying to update my apps from the ipad in the app store section and when i press update the ipad tells me that im not connected to the itunes store??
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

HT4623 software update option does not appear on my ipad?
I can not locate the system software upgrade option on my IPad 4.
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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

In "settings/general" the words SOFTWARE UPDATE don,t appear below ABOUT or anywhere under GENERAL to enable me to update to ios6 . Any help appreciated.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

HT4623 Under "General" the "Software update" is missing!!! why? and obviously I canot update.
Software update option is missing in the General menu, why is that? and I cannot update my software.
HHHEEEELLLLLPPPPStart iTunes on your computer and use the menu to check for an update to iTunes. If there is an update available download and install it. Then restart your computer.
Once your computer has restarted start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad.
In the left column of iTunes on your computer select your iPad. In the right column select Summary and look for the Check for Update. Click on that if it doesn't bring the update message up automatically. Follow the prompts to complete the update. The update is a big file so be sure to have a good Internet connection. You might also have to disable your virus protection software and firewalls if either are turned on.
After you reach iOS 5.1.1 future updates for the iOS can be installed directly on the iPad over a Wi-Fi connection. -
I saw a software update in general settings so i let it downloaded.. it took hours and now the screen with apple sign appears and going but the phone is not turning on.. iphone 4
Coincidentally I have had the same problem and I am also on Reliance network. I learnt the lesson in an expensive way (Read at Rs.17/min as this is the ISD rate of Reliance for calling to USA). I did mnp (mobile number portability, you oldie!) from Airtel to Reliance. So I had the inactive nano sim of Airtel. I took out the Reliance sim and inserted the Airtel sim into my iPhone 5s. By the time it was serching for the network, I quickly navigated to settings>phone and turned that damned dial assit off. That's it. Now when I inserted the Reliance sim and dialled the toll free numbers it was working perfectly, means free of cost. But I still wonder how come Reliance does not send the post call charge notification after the ISD calls? I had to call 198 to know about the balance deduction.
