HT4972 Why can't I see the update download option under general? I need to download iOS 5

Why can't I see an option to download the ios5 upgrade under General settings

you can update an iPad 1 up to iOS 5.1.1 , you need to connect it to iTunes on a computer and update from there
For instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623 and scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes
Please  note that iPad 1 goes up to iOS 5.1.1, while iPad 2 goes up to iOS 6.1.3, the (current) latest version. You won't be able to ' choose '  iOS 5.1.1 on iPad 2, it will automatically update to the latest version possible.
Good luck

  • Why can I not see the update softwared tab in General?

    I need to update my iPad 2 and there is no "Update Software" tab. Plus, I am unable to access itunes on the ipad. I have checked my wifi connection and it is fine.

    Hi NISTeacher12,
    Apple has been experiencing all kinds of problems the past 2 days with their iTunes Store and many of their other online services. If I was in your shoes, I'd first try a "reset" (different from restarting) by holding down both the Home button AND Sleep/Wake button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Then check to see if you can connect to Apple's services.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT204053 Why can't I see the "none" payment option?

    There is supposed to be a payment option that says "none" underneath all of the credit card options and that is not showing up on my IPad.  How can I use a non-credit card option to get free apps?

    Here is a currently working method as of iTunes 11.0.4.4.
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Click "iTunes Store" at the upper-right side.
    3. Click on "App Store" at the middle-top.
    4. Scroll down and find "Top Free Apps" on the right side.
    5. Click on the name of any free app (DO NOT CLICK THE FREE BUTTON).
    6. Click the "Free" button on the left side under the app icon.
    7. Enter your stuck Apple ID and password and click "Get".
    8. When you see the "This Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes Store" popup click "Review".
    9. Click "Continue".
    10. Check the box for "I have read and agree to these terms and conditions" and click "Agree".
    11. Click the "None" option under Payment Type. (If there is no "None" option, go back to step #5 and make sure you clicked the Name of the app, not the Free button yet).
    12. Make sure the other required fields are filled out (Title, Name, Address, Phone Number)
    13. Click "Continue".
    14. Enjoy your unstuck Apple ID.

  • Why can't I see the Multicam Playback option in the TIMELINE RT pop-up menu

    Im trying to be able to do realtime editing in Multicam.
    Ive Created my Multiclip
    I've selected OPEN in the Sync menu.
    They'll plaback in the Viewer/Canvas in sync, but not with timeline
    In my TIMELINE, theres NO pop-up option for
    Multicam Playback in the RT tab, and I've gone to SYSTEM SETTINGS and
    enabled the MULTICAM PLABACK option, still no option in RT. I think this
    is somehow the problem.
    Any thoughts or Help appreciated
    FCP V5.0
    G2 2.3
    G5 2.3   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I had to go through the manual's setup for multiclip three time (3TIMES!) before i could make everything work, it's quite frustrating the first few times, I agree.
    You may need to restart the application to have all of the new settings take effect?
    While not necessary, you also might want to select the multiclip keyboard layout option. it places a bunch of cool -- if indecipherably stupid iconic -- buttons in your button bars.

    Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?

  • Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone?

    Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone? I've turned the phone off and also closed all the apps. But still won't allow me to access the updates. Just a blank screen.

    Another post is reporting that applying the 6.1 update fixes their issue. I'll have to wait until I am back on WiFi to try that.

  • Why can't I see the carrier tab in my settings?

    Why can't I see the carrier tab in my settings? This iphone5 was bought in india where the phones are NOT locked

    No, that just shows the carrier. I am looking for the setting>general>carrier tab from where you can select the carrier you want to connect to either automatically or manually. The previous iPhone 5 had it, Apple exchanged the set as it had a hardware problem and it's missing from the new set. Want to get it back

  • Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?

    Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?
    Just imported a CD of rare folk music that a friend gave me and want to edit the title, album name, etc like I used to.
    In iTunes under "View" the column Browser options are greyed out - not available.
    Seems that this is the view where editing is possible.
    What can I do to bring back column browser?

    Select Songs (not Artists or Albums) at top and you can use the Column browser.

  • Why can't I see the keyframes in color over stroke?

    Why can't I see the keyframes in color over stroke? I am trying to adjust a heart beat monitor effect I created. I started with a bezier line and gave it a light streak #3 style. In the Color Over Stoke shape window I can click the arrows left and right to jump from KF to KF but they will not appear as editable points in the keyframe editor. I wonder if this is a bug?
    Thanks
    Wilson

    Here's what I did to see them
    -Added a line shape
    -Dropped Light Steak 3 style on the line layer in the layer list.
    -Selected the line and in the inspector, went to Shape>Stroke>Color over stroke.
    -Selected the first color tag in the gradient.
    -At the far right side of the color parameter, clicked the downward facing arrow and selected "Show in Keyframe Editor" option.
    The keyframes show up in the keyframe editor.  Repeat for each color or opacity tag as needed.

  • Why can't I see the layers of cs4 .psd files passed to me in photoshop elements 11?

    why can't I see the layers from cs4 .psd files passed to me in photoshop elements 11?

    You should be able to see normal layers, but PSE doesn't understand layer groups/sets or comp layers. The inexpensive add-on elements+ from simplephotoshop.com will let you expand layer groups. (If you also have Premiere Elements installed you should be able to see layer groups in PSE without adding anything.)

  • HT201263 My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?

    My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?  I really want to purchase an Live TV plan yet I need iOS 7 to run most TV apps.
    Can Apple tell me why my iPad 1 is obsolete?
    g

    It's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
    Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology.

  • Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    If it's in the Spam mailbox, then Spam Mailbox would show there.
    In my example above, I'm looking in the Sent Mailbox as a whole (main mailbox, not the subfolder account) and it's showing the account I sent from. If I had sent messages from my other accounts, it would show those also. The only purpose of showing the mailbox in the message list is to know which of your accounts it's to or from when you have multiple accounts. If you only have one mail account, then it provides no use to have Mailbox shown in the message list.
    When you are looking at the Sent Mail, then the message list shows the person who it was sent to.
    All other mailboxes show the person who the message was sent from in the list.
    Unless you're moving recieved mail and sent mail to a common mailbox, then it's not a big deal.
    Maybe Apple will change it in the future to show the actual Fields in the message list.

  • Why can't I see the airplay icon in the music app or control centre on my Iphone 4 running ios7? I can see it in the movie app

    Why can't I see the airplay icon in the music app or control centre on my Iphone 4 running ios7? I can see it in the movie app

    I've seen something yesterday that says Airplay in control centre is only for Iphone 4S and onwards. It's frustrating when they take something away without any obvious reason. I'm going to change back to IOS6 until it's sorted out.
    I also tried connecting to bluetooth and only once I'm connected does an icon show up in control centre. There's no direct way to connect to a device from control centre on the Iphone 4 from the looks of it.
