The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so make sure you follow the directions in the support article I provided you a link for.

    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 are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • HT4972 How come my iPad does not have software update in the settings?

    Help, my iPad does not have software update available in settings, how do I update?

    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.

  • HT4623 when i go into update my iphone 3 i do not have software update in my general settings ?

    when i go to update my iphone 3 I do not have software update in my general settings

    Correct, Software Update does not appear in iOS until iOS 5.  The iPhone 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.
    Note the iPhone 3G came out almost five years ago.

  • Hi, my ipod does not have software update and on itunes it says chack for update but says ipod is up to date

    Hi my ipod does not have software update on settings and on itunes it is up to date please give solutions

    Thanks. I have been looking for this information for hours too. You answered my question in your list. I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch and last updated to iOS 4.2.1. Now many of the games are obsolete after being updated. I wish I hadn't updated them now, and I would still have play available. It's sad in this economy that I'll have to purchase a new iPod touch just to play a few simple games. I haven't even had it three years yet. That's what I get for not waiting a few months for the next generation. That's a nice little marketing tactic from Apple .

  • HT4623 my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings General Software Update

    my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings > General > Software Update ...... NOT THERE

    No. It doesn't. That is only present if you are already running iOS 5 or higher.
    Since the iPhone 3G can NOT run anything higher than 4.2.1, you will never see it on that phone.
