  • HT4623 I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general.  How can I update my phone?

    I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general.  How can I update my phone?

    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 Software updates is not showing in my settings?

    My settings does not show the software update tab and I need tp get latest updates. How do I do this?

    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).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    You should try again later, the servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.

  • HT4623 Software update is not in my settings

    I am trying to update my system but the software update option isn't in there

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 as your tagline suggests then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    Your iPad should update to iOS 6.0.1, so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change

  • My Canon MX310 Series Printer failed as the software "is currently not available from the Software Update Server"? What is the matter with Apple OSX Mountain Lion?

    Mountain Lion stopped working with our Canon MX310 Printer? Why is the software not available from the Software Update Server?

    The printer and ICA scanner driver is available from Apple. There is probably some other reason why you cannot get the drivers.
    You can also get the drivers from Canon.
    But reading your post it sounds like you were printing to the MX310 and recently it has stopped printing. Is this the case?

  • PS BE 8.00c Rev 2 Software Update Option Not Available

    Despite being logged in with Full Admin rights, PS BE 8.00c has the "Software Update" option (Tools > Options > Software Update) grayed out. Additionally, the Help > Check for Updates... method results in nothing happening.
    I am unable to apply the Rev 2 hot fix and unfortunately, need to prepare mailings that use the sortations addressed by said fix.
    Please offer advice.

    James,
    I would suggest checking out the knowledge base note -  1309275 - Troubleshooting issues with the Automatic Update feature - Business Edition/DeskTop Mailer.  In this note you will find references on fixes if you have issues with Auto Update.  To access the knowledge base go to the SAP website - http://service.sap.com click on Help & Support.  You will see the option to search for notes.  There is a place to enter a note number where you can put the number I listed above.
    Also if you have a firewall you would want to be sure to allow the software access through the firewall.  This can be done by allowing DTM32.exe (for DeskTop Mailer) or BUS32.exe (for Business Edition) as a trusted application.
    There are other fixes also if that doesn't help listed in the KB article I mentioned above.
    Thanks,
    Kendra
