I am trying to update IOS. When I go to Settings/General...I do not have a heading of SOFTWARE...
Any suggestions?
Settings>General>Software Update is only available on iPad with IOS 5 and above.
If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

When we go to Settings>General, we do not have an option for Software Update...only About and Usage. How do we update the system on our iPad?
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).

When I go to settings > general, there is no prompt for "software update." how can I update my iPad?
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.

when i go to settings>general> i have not found any update option .... in iphone 3gs.. what should i do??? i m unable to update through itunes,
Since there is no "Software Update", you are not yet up to iOS 5. That is where that feature was introduced.
So your only choice is to use iTunes to update your software. -
Unsure how to update, as of course I need it to run certain apps. My I pad has never prompted me to do so either.

HT4623 When I go to settings general NO SOFTWARE UPDATE OPTION, HELLLPPP!!!!
Cannot find the option in settings, it's a work I pad, could it be blocked?
It is likely you are running a version of iOS older than 5 (to check: Settings App > About> version). If that is the case, you will need to connect to a computer running a current version of itunes to upgrade iOS. The ability to update over WiFi was not introduced until 5.

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). -

I noticed yesterday my Iphone 4s does not say verizon at the top anymore. I tried calling *228 and did both options mutiple times and it hasnt changed. Also when i go to settings>general>about the network tab says unavailable. how can i fix this
Can you make and receive calls and texts? If you can, I wouldn't worry about it. If you can't, you may need to call Verizon. However, try this first. The 4S has a Vodafone SIM card in it for foreign travel. Try taking the SIM out and doing the *228 again. Once it activates properly, you should be able to put the SIM back for safe keeping. It's not used in the U.S.
