  • HT4623 My ipad 2 doesn't have the software update option. What should I do?

    My ipad 2 doesn't have the software update option. What should I do to upgrade my ipad to ios 5. I can not use or download most of the apps.

    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.

  • 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

  • HT4623 i dont have the 'software update' option in my iphone 4 menu so how do I update the IOS?

    i dont have the 'software update' option in my iphone 4 menu so how do I update the IOS?

    If you never upgraded to iOS5 then you won't have the option to upgrade your phone "over the air".  To do an upgrade, connect your phone to iTunes and select the phone on the left menu bar.  You will see an option on the main page to Check for Update.  Select that and your phone will update to iOS6.
    It is recommended that you do a full backup of your phone before you begin the upgrade process.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT4623 I do not have a software update option under my general settings.  How do I update to ios 4.0 to get free apps???

    ... and the option to update the software from the iPod using Settings/General is not available on iOS 4 or earlier.
    You can get free Apps with iOS 3.x - providing they will run on the version you have. That's dependant upon your model of iPod. So before anything else, which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod and do you know which model you own?

    I do not have a "Software Update" option on my "General Page" - How do 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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    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).
