    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.

    my ipone 4 does not have the software update option?

    Do the following:
    Open the App Store app on your phone and update all your apps so the will work with the new iOS.
    Connect your phone to your computer and open iTunes.  If prompted that there is an update available, decline.
    Sync with iTunes to create a new backup and transfer any purchases from your phone to your iTunes library.
    Import your photos to your computer for safekeeping as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Go back to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update (or Update).
    This will download iOS to your computer (which may take a while), then install the update on your phone.  Pay attention to the progress information in iTunes on the top of the screen, and any information that appears on your phone during this process to be sure you don't disconnect your phone prematurely.

  • HT4623 What do I do if my iPod doesn't have a Software Update option?

    i just looked up on your page how to update my iPod and it said to go to Setting -> General -> Software Update. But I don't have a Software update option on my settings.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone so I can download apps?

    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.
