HT4623 Under General in settings, I do not have the option to update software. I need to update my ipad to iOS 5.0. How do I do this without the update software option??

How do I update to 5.0 if I don't have software update in my settings?

If you are under iOS 4.x, you cant update ota (over the air). You need to plug your device to your computer and update it from iTunes.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT201272 My ipod touch will not update a paid app---Strange Rain. using version 4.2.1. How can I get this installed and updated?

I have updated to the supposed newest version for my touch.
But it still will not sync and update my Strange Rain app.
How can I get this back?

According to the product description the latest version of this app requires ios 4.3 or later.
You would have to use your copy of the older version.

My mac mail inbox is acting funny. I receive an email from today and the window shows me an email from a different person and topic from 2011. How can I fix this? The mail appears correctly on my phone but not on my computer.

I receive an email from today March 13, 2013, but my inbox displays an email from a different person on a different topic received in 2011. It seems like some type of corruption but I don't know how best to fix it.

Hi. I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

Hi, my daughter is using one of our old iphone's as an ipod (no phone service) It's listed under my apple id. when we downloaded the new updates, she started getting ALL of my incoming and outgoing text. How do I change this, without clearing her phone and loosing all her songs/etc....?

I did this on my phone. Her phone isn't activated, no cellular service. So, for whatever reason it won't even let me tap on SEND& RECEIVE, to uncheck anything

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 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

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to follow the second part of that article and update via your computer's iTunes.

If it's a first gen iPad then it should be update to iOS 5.1.1, if it's an iPad 2 (or 3) then it will update to iOS 6 (so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change).

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).

How do I configure the settings(?) to not have to log in every time I fire up a dark screen? I'm coming off a PC.

How do I configure the settings(?) to not have to log in every time I fire up a dark screen? I'm coming off a PC.

Open System Preferences, go to Accounts (or Users and Groups if you're on 10.7), click Login Options, change Automatic Login to the name of your account. You will have to authenticate with your password. If all the boxes are greyed out, click the padlock first to unlock the screen.

This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

I downloaded new os for my daughter's ipod touch. I remember during setup after that I checked off my husband's email account and now she is receiving his texts. How do I fix this. The "icloud"/ "messages" buttons are both greyed out under settings
