The option to update OTA did not become available until iOS5. You will need to connect the phone to the computer and iTunes and update in that method.

  • HT4623 what if my phone does not have software update option

    What if iphone 4 does not have software update

    Is the Software Update button not there at all? If it is not there, than you may want to update on your computer with iTunes. What version do you have of iOS anyway?

  • I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?

    I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?

    I had the same problem, and I believe it is caused by having the Creative Cloud application doing the updating of LR.  I "fixed" the problem by:
    1. Uninstall Lightroom
    2. Download the stand-alone LR 5.6 installer from Product updates
    3. Install LR 5.6 using the stand-alone installer, instead of using the Creative Cloud application.

  • HT4972 iPad2 - why do I not see software update under settings, general?  I am trying to update to ISO5

    iPad 2 I am trying to update to ISO5;however, when I go to setting, general, I do not have software update as directions show on apple support.

    From my experience, you need 6.1.3 to download ios 7. I have tested this with six devices, one ios 5, one ios 6.1.3, and others 6.1.2. The ipad 2 that was 6.1.3 had the option available while the other five did not, then i updated my ipad mini to 6.1.3, after that the ios 7 option under settings was available. Please share your experiences too, thanks. And i would like someone to prove me wrong saying they updated directly from something not 6.1.3 to ios 7

  • Having upgraded to Firefox 24 it will now not start at all after clicking on the icon. My OS is Windows Vista premium. It will start in safe mode.

    Upgraded to Firefox 24 and now nothing at all works despite uninstalling and reinstalling it several times and losing all my bookmarks etc. However it does start in safe mode. At first I thought it was my security Norton 360 but after 2 hours in contact with them I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I can see the cursor timing out and then it just disappears and nothing loads.
    My OS is Windows Vista Premium and I am using Windows internet explorer at the moment.
    HELP please!!!

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens.  It worked fine until today, I double clicked on the card icon on the desk top and it disappeared! Any suggestions?

    When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens.  It worked until today, when I double clicked on the SD card icon on the desktop and then it disappeared!  Cannot find in "Finder".  iPhoto does not open upon inserting card.  Reformatted card with device (camera).  Used Time machine to restart computer before the double click occurence...did not lhelp.  Any suggestions?

    Have a look in Finder Preferences: Click on the desktop, Finder>Finder Preferences.General tab - is there a tick in "External Disks'? If not, tick it.

  • HT4623 I do not see Software Update option in my Ipod. I have 3.1.2 os

    Shouldn't there be an article on how to update the ios software???
    On the main website, Apple says "just plug in and follow software instructions"
    Really?? Is that easy? I dont think so. Will someone tell how to actually do it???

    The option to update on the iPod itself is not there until you have iOS 5.1 on the iPod.
    Admittedly, Apple's instructions about this are not clear. It apparently says to use that feature to update to the iOS version that has that "new" feature. Weird!
    Anyway, back to you;
    The usual procedure is connect the iPod to your iTunes Library and look on the Device/Summary pane (tab) for the Check for Updates button and use that. Either, you see a message telling you that an update is available and the option to choose it or, you see a message telling you that your iPod is up to date.
    Since your "additional detail" at the end of your post states that you have iOS 3.1.2, that suggests that you may have a 1st generation iPod Touch, in which case you should get an option to update to iOS 3.1.3, although I was unaware that there ever was a 3.1.2.
    However, be aware that;
    The 1st gen Touch can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3
    A 2nd gen Touch can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1
    The 3rd & 4th gen Touch can use iOS 5.

  • HT4623 What if it doesn't have a "software update" Option in General?

    I'm trying to update my Ipod Touch but in the instructions it says to go onto the "Software Update" option, but mines doesn't have that. What shall I do?

    Try a manual install using the instructions here. You have to know your iPod model/generation to select the correct download
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3

  • HT4623 My iphone 3 does not show "software update" as an option under general.

    My 3G phone does not give me the option "update software" under general.

    Go back to the article you asked this question from, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.
    The iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 4.2.1.
