You can only update your device to the latest iOS available for the device. For the iPhone 4 that is iOS 6.0.1, iOS 5 is no longer available. To update the device use iTunes on a Mac or PC

    You cannot update to iOS 5, it's no longer an available. You can only update to the latsest available iOS for your device. For the iPhone 4 that's iOS 6.0.1. The option you are looking for to update over-the-air requires iOS 5 or later. With iOS 4 you need to use iTunes on a Mac or PC to update the iOS. Follow the instructions on the Support Page you linked from.

  • HT4623 I can't find "software upgrade" in the General menu

    I keep getting messages that I need To update to ios5 but there is no software upgrade in my general menu.

    In the article you came from, scroll down to the section titled Update your device using iTunes and follow those directions to update.
    You'll need to connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes latest version.

  • HT4623 Why don't I see "software upgrade" under settings/general.

    Need to upgrade my os on iPad....instructions say go to settings/general/software upgrades......I don't have a software upgrades?   I am connected to Internet.....

    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.

  • HT4972 I can not find software update on my iphone

    When i open the settings on my iphone 4 there is no software update tab. What is the problem? Can anyone help me rhis

    That's because it's only present if you're already running iOS 5 or higher.
    Try reading the entire article. Especially the section on updating using iTunes.

  • I'd like to update the ISO 4.2.1 on an old iPod Touch to ISO 7.  Can't find "Software Update" option under General Setting.  Where might I look for the option to slightly upgrade the ISO for this device?

    You likely have a 2G iPod and those can go higher than 4.2.1
    A 3G can go to 5.1.1
    IA 4G, with cameras can go to iOS 6.1.6.
    The 5G, also with cameras can go to iOS 8
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    - A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10 or higher. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    - A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    - A 4G to 6.1.6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • I am trying to download CS5.5, which I purchased. But I can only find the upgrade software to download. Where is the non-upgrade version of CS5.5???

    There is no upgrade version.  The serial number that you use dictates whether or not the software is treated as an upgrade.  If you purchased it as an upgrade then the serial number you have is an upgrade serial number and that will require you to provide proof that you qualify ro install/use the upgrade.

    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.
