my ipone 4 does not have the software update option?
Do the following:
Open the App Store app on your phone and update all your apps so the will work with the new iOS.
Connect your phone to your computer and open iTunes. If prompted that there is an update available, decline.
Sync with iTunes to create a new backup and transfer any purchases from your phone to your iTunes library.
Import your photos to your computer for safekeeping as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Go back to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update (or Update).
This will download iOS to your computer (which may take a while), then install the update on your phone. Pay attention to the progress information in iTunes on the top of the screen, and any information that appears on your phone during this process to be sure you don't disconnect your phone prematurely. -

Hello, I have an ipad2 with iOS 4.2.7 but am trying to update it to a 5 or so. The problem is that the"settings" environment on my pad does not have the "software update" option. Please what do I do to enable me update my iOS? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

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.

my general button does not have a Software Update option....why? I am trying to update my Ipad 2 and it wont give the option to do so.
Because it's running an iOS version prior to 5.0 and must be updated from iTunes on a computer.

It won't if you're running iOS 4 and below. You'll need to update the software by connecting your phone to your computer and updating through iTunes.

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.
