    Are you referring to updating the iOS? Software update for the phone has nothing to do with downloading apps. The only time the OTA software update for the phone iOS was after iOS 5. If you are looking to update applications, then go to the App store and select updates.

    If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
    If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6.

  • HT5457 I do not have software updates on my iPad 2. How can I update

    I would like to update my iPad 2 to iOS 6 but there is nothing in settings for software updates. The support site shows that there is an icon under general just below "about" but this does not exist on my settings. How can I update if I don't have this feature?

    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 are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • HT4623 I can't update software because my iPad doesn't have a update button under general how can I update the software

    I can't get my iPad to update it's not a iPad 2 and it doesn't have a software update button in the the setting and general location.

    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.

  • HT201263 "Software Update" is not shown as an option under Settings/General- how can I get iOS 5.1 on my iPad?

    I know I'm way behind, can somebody help me get updated?  Thanks!

    You need to update via iTunes on a computer. Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes on your computer as well.
    Once you update to iOS 5.1, then you will have that Software Update in your settings for over the air updates.
    This will explain how to update your device.

    You do not need a MAC.  Why do you thing this is true.
    Do they have a  PC?
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6

    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)
