How do I update my software to iOS 5 if I do not have the update software button in between about and usage in my general settings?
You'll need to connect the iPad to a computer running the latest version of iTunes. If the computer does not belong to you, make sure you create a backup (not a sync) before installing the update.

My iPad 2 does not say software update between about and usage in general setting anyone know why this any help welcome thanks
Keith. Look in settings, general, about. About halfway down the screen is an entry labeled version. If it is anything lower than 5.0, then you wil not get wireless updates. You need to plug your pad into your computer that you set it up with which is running the current version of I tunes to get the update.
When you plug it in to i tunes, be sure to do a backup. Also, the machine will ask if you want to transfer purchases. Tell it yes. This saves your content and purchased apps and music to your iTunes on the computer. When you do the software update, it will then reload that material onto your pad.
If you have taken any pictures on your pad, be sure to upload those to I photo, or whatever photo library you are using so that they are not lost when you do the upgrade.
Once you get to the current version, any future software updates can be done over the air, not requiring you to use the computer. That feature was enabled with version 5. But it is a good idea to do backup and syncs with your computer from time to time. -
How can I update my iPhone,when I go into settings and click on general something should pop up between usage and about that says up but it does not and my iPhone needs to be updated.
If you don't have the update option on your phone, you will need to update in iTunes on your computer.

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).

I am stymied at the first step of trying to update my IPad software, as there is no "Software Update" choice visible in General Settings. And I can't find it anywhere else, either. Ideas?
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.

HT4623 i don't have a "software updates" button between "about" and "usage"
cannot update apps, need ios 5 or better. now have 4.3.5 iPad 2
There are some steps half-way down this page : Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Before starting the update copy any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option. And preferably take your own copy of any important documents and/or photos that you have on the iPad - they should be included in the backup but it's best to have your own copy just in case.
Copying photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
To copy documents you might be able to use file sharing on your computer's iTunes : iOS: About File Sharing
or you might be able to copy them off via your wifi network or by emailing them to yourself - different apps supports different ways of copying content to/from them. -
HT4623 i cant find the software update option in between about and usage?
Hello am useing a Apple i phone 3GS , i want to upgrade the option from 4.2 to any new versions? plz support me to get it
If you have a 3GS, follow the instructions in the article from which your question was posted. If you have upgraded to iTunes 11, it does look different from the instructions in the article, but it is still on the same screen and very obvious if there is an upgrade available. It will also show what model iPhone you actually have.
Most likely you do not have a 3GS but instead a 3G.

Keep in mind, iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for the 3G. -

I have just updated my ipod touch (third generation) and it has taken off safari, it has just dissapeared, what do i do
Could be two things:
- It is on a screen and you can't find it. Try using the Spotlight search feature and search for Safari.
- Somehow the restriction for Safari got turned on. If on Safari is hidden and will not appear on the iPod even via search. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.
- Also try resetting your iPod?
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
