HT4623 When I go into settings then into general there isn't any software update...how do I update it now?

How do I update my iPad 1 so??? Need help FAST !

You are not running iOS 5 which is needed in order to do OTA software updates. You will have to use your computer running the latest version of iTunes in order to update. You can only update to the most recent version which is 5.1.1.

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.

You cannot. iOS 4.2.1 is as far as the iPhone 3G will go.

When I click on settings then click general and try to go to usage the settings app crashes. Any ideas on what to do? All ready tried hard resetting it.

The Software update started in iOS 5. The 1G can only go as high as 3.1.3

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..

HT4623 I can't update my iPad because when I go to Settings then General it does not give me an option for Software Update, is goes straight from About to Sounds. So what can I do to update my iPad?

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

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.

HT1430 I want to reset my email password. When I go to settings, then mail the section on accounts remains grey rather than bold & so I cannot enter in to it to reset the password. I have switched my ipad off & on & this makes no difference... any ideas?

Hi
I want to reset my email password.
When I go to settings & then mail the account I want to change is in grey & so won't respond.
Any idea how I make it change to bold so I can go into it & change my password?

Hey Esmerelda17,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are wishing to change the stored password for an email account on your iPad 2.
If you are unable to edit this field, you may want to remove and re-add the account. Please make sure to back up all of your information before doing so. Also Note: if this is an external email provider, you'll need to reset your password using their website, then update your iPad to reflect the new password.

HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

HT4972 I can't update my iPad to iso 5 please help. When I go to settings and then to general it doesn't have an update button for "check for updates". Thanks

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
