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.

  • HT4623 When we go to Settings General, we do not have an option for Software Update...only About and Usage.

    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).

    Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success.  After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up.  Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone.  Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
    25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
    Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.

    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 trying to down load my new ipad and used general settings and download as directed, but did not get contacts and pictures from iphone.  What do I need to do?

    I do not know how you "down load my new ipad ". You purchase an iPad. Maybe this will help:

  • HT4623 When I go to settings general, there is absolutely no option on screen that says "software update". Where to next?

    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.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
