HT4623 when i go into general settings software update does not come up as one of the options what do i do?

please help me!

Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

    Software Update did not appear in Settings until iOS 5. You need to start iTunes on the computer you normally sync with, connect your iPad oto that computer, select your iPad in iTunes and then select the General tab.
    Scroll down under General until you find the check for update choice. Select that and follow the prompts.

    Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

    You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
    Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
    To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
    Good luck

    You need to update it from iTunes on a computer as described in that article and not from the device itself.

  • How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > 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 side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

    My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

    Snow Leopard DVD:
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
    Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
    If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Specifications;
    Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
    Lion 10.7.x;
    Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
    As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)

    I have a 2011 tahoe.  My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone.  Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work.  Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.

    I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
    Good luck.

  • Why Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?

    QuestionWhy Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?
    AnswerSoftware Updater only installs security-related updates automatically. Non-security-related updates, and service packs installation are required to be initiated manually via the Software updates tab under the Policy Manager Console.
    In Policy Manager 12, a checkbox Show non-security-related updates has been introduced under the Policy Manager Console > Software tab. Unchecking the checkbox hides the following update types:
    Microsoft security tools
    Non-security updates
    Service packs
    Note: This checkbox is Policy Manager Console-specific setting. If you change the setting in one Policy Manager Console, it would not affect another Policy Manager Console connected to the same Policy Manager Server.

    Presumably FOTA not an option for your 5800XM?

    To get beyond 10.7.5, you must go to the App Store and purchase an upgrade.

    Hi, beth.lau.gr.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen.  I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening.  However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue.  This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.  
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it
