http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
Cheers, Tom

Trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings, About, there is no option for Software Update..
I am trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings >> About >> there is no option for "Software Update" .. what else can I do?
4.4.2 was the last update. Now, in the same section look at Build Number. Mine says VS98026A. If yours ends with 26A, you are current. The last update was for HD Voice called Advanced Calling 1.0. Our next over the air or OTA update will be sometime next year, probably near March. The G2 is already getting 5.0 Lollipop in Poland and is rolling this way. We will get it, but even though Google has released the source code and update to manufacturers, Verizon still has to test, add to it and approve it, then roll it out over the course of a few weeks or months.

i have an iphone 4 ios 3.1.3 which is outdated . i went to settings , general but there was no software update feature . its on all other phones same models which myfriends have . can anyone help.
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.

I am struggling to download iOS5 onto my iPad 2 as there is no software update option in settings?
The option to update over the air is a new feature that appeared with iOS 5. If you do not already have iOS 5 on the iPad2, then you will need to plug it into iTunes on your computer and update it there first. After you've upgraded to iOS 5, you will then have the option to use over the air updates in the future.

The how to update the operating system (oIS) says to go into General, then About, and then Software Update. But my iPad doesn't have this option. Can anyone help?
That feature isn't present until you have installed iOS 5 or later. You must upgrade via iTunes and your computer.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Can anyone tell me how to update from 4.2.6?
Check to make sure you don't have two firewalls (i.e. a Windows firewall and one on your router).
If that's not it, you may need to dig deeper ... like temporarily changing your router's DNS to use Google's DNS or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS. Or maybe open up a certain port on your router (not sure which one that would be though, sorry). Or, if your computer is connected to the internet over wi-fi, try connecting to your router (or modem) via Ethernet, I heard of that solving a problem like this (though I can't confirm if that was real). -

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.

I am trying to update my Iphone 4 to iSO 4.3 but when I following the instruction under Setting - General there is no option for Software udpate. Do I need to do this another way?
"Do I need to do this another way?"
Yes.
Updating from the iphone itself is ONLY available with ios 5 and above..
You update as always by opening itunes and connect the iphone. If there is an update available it will prompt you to update.
Your can ONLY updtae to the latest available software which is ios 6
