HT4972 Why cant I see software updates in my setting?

why cant I see software updates in my settings?

Because your iPhone 3G cannot run any version of iOS higher than 4.2.1, which came out before the "Software Updates" was added (in iOS 5).

    I can,t find software update in my setting, general menu ..only about then usage ..so how can I download ios5 ?

    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.

    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.

  • HT4623 I am unable to see software update option in setting- general iPhone 3gs

    I am unable to update my iPhone 3gs , there is no option of software update in setting->general.

    You need to update it from iTunes on a computer to get that option. As the article itself states, that's available in iOS 5 and later, but the device is running iOS 3.

  • Why cant I see several objects once I set my page online?

    Working on Dreamweaver CS6
    I have been testing the webpage on google chrome the whole time and all objects are visable and function correctly. But once I set my webpage online and open chrome threw the internet, I cant see some buttons I had. How can I fix this?

    On my html code I have this code, that calls the css where my buttons are:
    <link href="css/stylebuttons.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    This is the code that is on a css sheet (from one of the buttons). It makes a hover button by using 2 diffrent images. Both images are saved in the same folder as shown below. I tried changing the location of the image to a closer folder and it still won't work.

    You cannot update to iOS 5, it's no longer an available. You can only update to the latsest available iOS for your device. For the iPhone 4 that's iOS 6.0.1. The option you are looking for to update over-the-air requires iOS 5 or later. With iOS 4 you need to use iTunes on a Mac or PC to update the iOS. Follow the instructions on the Support Page you linked from.

    Why cant I see my iphone on my computer

    Try clicking the link in my post above and then working through the 6 troubleshooting suggestions. It'll walk you through checking the Apple Mobile Device service.
    If you don't want to try anything that involved, you can just try uninstalling the security software on your computer and then testing again. If it doesn't work, you can download and reinstall iTunes, then test again. Just make sure you reinstall the security software on your computer, if you removed it.

  • Cant install new software updates

    Hi,
    It seems I cant install any software updates from apple.When I click the install button,nothing happens.Normally the Admin password screen comes up but its not.
    Anyone have any advice?

    Cutting to the chase, I think the best solution to this problem is to make a really good backup with TimeMachine and then do a clean install os Leopard, and then to update Leopard, and then to use TimeMachine to restore your files.
    I tried Archive and Install. At first, I attempted to preserve user preferences. But the installation of Leopard hung. Looking at the logs, it hung after the system had installed, and as it was in the process of trying to restore the user settings. I then tried Archive and Install without preserving user preferences. This appeared to work, but several files were corrupted. Most obviously, files that had recently been edited with Microsoft EXCEL 2008. I then deleted the Archived files and restored all my user files from TimeMachine. Problem solved.
    I wonder if the combination of Microsoft Office 2008 and Leopard 10.5 is somehow toxic.

  • Why cant I see my CSS styles in the new Admin Editor?

    Why cant I see my CSS styles in the new Admin Editor?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HT201317 why cant i see my photos

    why cant i see my photos when i log onto my icloud account on my pc

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

    trying to 4.2.1 to 4.2.3 but when I go to settings, general, I dont see software update. Can anyone help?

    There is no 4.2.3 and over-the-air updating was introduced with iOS 5.0.
    You will need to connect your iPhone to the computer you sync with. When iTunes opens click on the name of your iPhone under DEVICES on the far left frame. Move to the Summary tab to the right and click on the Update button.
