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?

    The update to iOS 5.0 & higher is an erase/restore deal, so make sure you follow the directions here to update your phone:

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have Software Update option??  How do I update to iOS5?

    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).

  • Ipod 2g settings does not have software update option

    I have checked the tutorial to upgrade my ipod 2g from 4.2 to 4.3, but when I go to settings/general, "software update" does not appear as an option.  I am connected to a wi fi area and ported to a computer, still no option...

    Your software version is not up to date, and therefore does not have that in "settings" yet.  You must connect it to your computer and update via iTunes. 
    Your iPod needs iOS 5 or higher, in order to have the software update option in "settings"

    my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings > General > Software Update ...... NOT THERE

    No. It doesn't. That is only present if you are already running iOS 5 or higher.
    Since the iPhone 3G can NOT run anything higher than 4.2.1, you will never see it on that phone.
