HT4623 What if your software updates has been deleted

What if my software updates has been deleted

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 on your iPad then you can only update via your computer's iTunes, as described half-way down the page that you posted from.
To update via a computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your iPad will be updated to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for a first gen iPad is 5.1.1, and for other iPad is iOS 6.1.3

  • How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    It will not download if you already have it.
    Just to be 100% clear …
    Look in /Applications for "Install OS X Mavericks"
    Use the Finders Go menu > Applications. To open it.
    You may have an Applications folder in your Home directory too, it shouldn't be in there but it is possible.
    Also try Spotlight to see if it can find that filename.
    Can you also tell us what system you have?
    Apple menu > About this Mac > more info button… What is the Model (under the Overview tab).
    10.9 doesn't install on all systems, so it could explain why you can't get it, however it usually displays a dialog stating that fact.

    Hopefully it's been resolved by now - I have no idea how large each one of those files are. The progress bar tells you; FWIW, I only download one at a time - makes it easier and faster and you can choose to do the next one when you have time.

    what if the software update isn't there ?

    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.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • I need to delete programs that have been duplicated after the software update has been done.  The computer won't delete them.  Anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I delete the old program after it's been updated.

    After upgrading software, it appears the old software isn't deleted.  My computer hard drive is almost full so I need to delete a ton off of my computer.  When checking the software that can be deleted I noticed I can the old software hasn't been deleted.  How can a person do this?  Any suggestions on how to quickly dump some programs.

    Sig is right — reclaiming space on your hard drive should be a matter of looking for the largest files you can delete, not starting with applications. I have 200+ applications on my hard drive, and altogether they occupy less than 14GB of space. Just a handful of them — Acrobat Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Adobe Media encoder — are larger than 500MB apiece, and if I disposed of all of those, I'd only get 5.6GB back. My Utilties folder contains 78 apps, and it only amounts to 1.1 GB.
    If you have any feature-length movies on your hard drive, those should be the first things you trash or move to an external drive.

  • HT4623 What if the "software update" button isn't there?

    Does anyone know what to do if the "Software Update" button isn't there? I probably sound really lame, but I want to update to the iOS 5.0 for the iPad 1.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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).

    Hi everyone!
    I tried to update a few apps from my iPhone, and to install  new applications from APPSTORE. But i got a message :" Your Apple ID has been disabled"!!!!!!
    What can i do now? Can you help me please?
    The same thing happend with my IPAD....
    How can i do to function all this in the same way which was working till this problem appears.
    I want to mention that i have 2 email adresses asociated with the same Apple ID.
    wait for an feedback!
    Thanks a lot!

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

    Got it sorted. AN e-mail to teh support centre got me three replies, two reasuring me that someone os working on it and the third giving me the information that the ID is enabled again and ready to use. All within 24h. Of course without any information as to why the problem came up in teh first place. At least it was swift action.

  • HT4623 What do I do if I receive an "Your Apple ID has been disabled." message when trying to install an app?

    Trying to install and app on my iPhone 4s using App Store and when I click on a free app to install I get the "Your Apple ID has been disabled." error message.

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446.  If resetting the password doesn't fix things, you'll probably have to contact iTunes store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
