    no software update in General. How to update to the latest version .

    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.

  • HT4623 my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings General Software Update

    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.

    You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.

  • HT4623 don't have software update in general settings on my ipod touch

    Can you tell me if i can upgrade to ios5 have ipod touch version 4.3.2 (8h7)

    That option comes with iOS 5.
    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • HT4623 What if there isn't a "software update" option?

    Trying to updste, but under General Settings there is not a "update software" option...any ideas where else it could be?

    If you have an operating system older that 5.0, you can upgrade only through iTunes on your computer. Make sure you back up your iPad first. Then make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    Once you upgrade, you will then be able to install future upgrades via Settings > General..
