That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
You have iOS 4... See Here...

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

  • HT4972 Trying to get an update on my iPad because I have apps and when I try to update it tells me I need iOS 5.  What do I need to do?

    Need to update my iPad b/c my apps are trying to install updates but I'm getting the error message "need iOS5" but cant find how to do that.

    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 Trying to install iOS5 on my first gen iPad

    When I go to follow these steps, my iPad wants to download iOS6 which it doesn't support, so the download fails. Or rather, it fails at the install point a couple hours later.
    How do I tell it, or force it, to download an earlier version, such as 5.0. (We still have 4.3.2 or something on it)
    Can I find and download the earlier OS somewhere online. Or are we out of luck now.

    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).

    edit the hosts file on your computer and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Disable your antivirus and firewall.

    Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

  • How do I get my new iphone restored with my old backup? my old iphone had ios5 and the replacement phone i got has ios4 and it wont let me backup my phone because it doesnt have ios4... i cant get ios5 without restoring my iphone and backing it uo

    Basically, i need all my old stuff from my iphone 4 with ios5 onto my new iphone 4.  The new phone i received only had ios4. I went to get all my contacts and backup from my old phone onto my new phone and it wont let me because my new phone is only ios4 and my backup from my old phone was in ios5.  I cant get ios5 on my phone without creating a new backup of my new phone, which has nothing on it.  If i restore it as a new phone and backup virtually nothing from my new phone, will that get rid of all my old backup stuff from my old iphone?

    Bottom line is you CANNOT restore to a phone from a backup that has a more recent iOS which is what you're trying to do.  Just can't be done.

  • Does my Mac need to have the OS5 to get iOS5 on my ipod touch? I plugged my ipod in, have the 10.5 version of itunes but not getting the update on my ipod.

    I am trying to get the iOS5 on my ipod touch. iTunes says I have the latest updates (10.5). My Mac does not have the iOS5. Do I need to get iOS5 for my computer before I can get the benefits on my ipod touch?

    If you have a 3G iPod it may really be a 2G iPod. If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G iPod.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. To identify ours see:

  • HT4623 Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 or earlier on it then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you are on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    An iPad 2 will update to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • I'm trying to get the ios 4.2.1 on my second generation iPod . Is there a way to install it directly on my iPod touch because my iTunes on my computer is not working. Please help Apple! I need the update. Just give me a link.

  • I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down eliminate

    I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down menu with the gear box symbol to eliminate

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Trying to get Essbase Client 11.1.2.3 for Linux 32bit, please need help

    Hello,
    I am running a RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.4 64-bit system and have an application that requires the 32-bit Essbase Client 11.1.2.X libraries in order to connect to an Essbase 11.1.2 server instance.
    From reading through the forum posts for the past couple days I have come to an understanding that Oracle Essbase 11.1.2 no longer ships a Linux client as a separate assembly so you have to install the full Essbase server then extract the client files out of that to use..  So I am trying to get the correct bundle of files downloaded to even get the installer to launch properly so I can select a minimal installation including client components, but I can't get the correct zip files, I am getting close, but there is still a few missing, and the instructions I have found seem to refer to 11.1.1.X versions that have changed quite a bit in the 11.1.2.X version.
    Can anyone please help me figure out what I am still missing to get the install running and how to extract the client libraries?
    So far, I have downloaded:

    I am going through the list of entries, but the only references I have seen so far have been for Windows downloads and this is linux, and then there are the Assembly for linux32 messages, but I need that since I need the 32bit client libraries, right?
    Can someone shed some light on this adventure in installing all of this since all of the install instructions I have been seeing are for an older version packaged differently?
    Thank you in advance,
    Nathan

    Thank you for this.  It set me on the right path.  I wound up installing all of them as I was still getting those errors, but after I realized the REAL error was not the aseemblies not exsisting, but it was the "EPMINS-01084: Assembly for linux32 platform is used Failed!"  error.
    The Linux System i was TRYING to install on is RHEL 64bit, but I was trying to install a 32bit client as i needed a 32bit client.  It just refused to install a 32bit client on a 64bit Linux machine.
    I configured a CentOS 32bit Linux VMWare image and viola, the same driver files installed without an error.
    Not sure why the 32bit client would not let me install on a 64bit system, but I finally got it now.
    Now to tar the Essbase directories up and move them over to the RedHat machine where I need them.
    Thank you for your help.
