I can't download the iOS 5 to make updates

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
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).

    Where can i download the IOS 5.0 for apple iPhone 4?????

    Even if there was a way, what good would having 5.0 do, especially since 5.0.2 is out very soon?
    Finding the correct .ipsw file and performing the DFU process is a risky process.

    If i have purchased garageband for Ipad... can i download the IOS version on my iphone 4 without paying again?
    Or do i have to pay again?
    thanks,

    If you've previously paid for the iOS version, you can. If you've previously paid for the Mac version but not the iOS version, you can't.

  • My current system is OS X 10.4.11 and I need a 10.5 to update my iPhone, where can I download the correct 10.5 update?

    My current system is OS X 10.4.11 and I need a 10.5 to update my iPhone, where can I download the correct 10.5 update?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You can't download Mac OS X 10.5; you need to purchase it.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:

    Not all iBooks are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5, so we need to know which iBook you have.

  • I don't have my ipod touch with me how can i download the 2.0.2 update?

    I'm at a friends house and i don't have my Ipod touch, so how can i download the new update

    Hi,
    You don't give much away there!
    My guess, you don't have an internet connection, or fast one at least, at home?
    I think you would need your Touch with you to get the 2.0.2 update.
    Can't help, sorry,

  • Where can I download the latest PS CC update?

    I downloaded the latest PremierePro CC and other CC updates from the usual place: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    But I can't find any *Photoshop CC* updates there.
    So, where do I find them?
    Also, why aren't they there anymore, whereas most other products' CC updates still are?

    Indeed, we kept getting requests for these from folks like you wanting to download the individual CC product updates without the AAM or Creative Cloud Desktop app, like Adobe used to supply for the older CS products... 
    So we put together two complete sets of downloads with all the current updates for all CC apps (and will be keeping it up-to-date going forward).  Here they are and hope they help:
    All Adobe CC Updates: Direct Links for Windows
    All Adobe CC Updates: Direct Links for Mac OS
    These include the recent Photoshop CC 14.1.2 and 14.2 standalone updates.
    Finally, the reason the download instructions are necessary are because of Adobe's requirements to enable downloading from their servers (setting their session cookie on your browser).

  • HT3606 Can not download the 10.5.8 update? Please help!

    Hi,

    Hello Damitrius,
    This thread from about a year ago answers a similar question and has the benefit of contributions from several senior people.   Lot of reading, but it should solve your problem.
    Unable to INSTALL 10.5.8 update: Apple Support Communities
    There were a number of problems with the 10.5.2 OS but most were resolved via the 10.5.2 Combo updater, which I would have recommended as your first option.

  • HT1222 Where do I find an actual download page, so I can physically download the ios 5.1.1 for my iPhone 3gs. It will not take the new ios 6

    When I pluged my iPhone into my lap top pc. My i tunes recognized that it needed updating, and when it started to up date, about half way through, an error poped up, causing my iPhone to stop functioning.
    The reason is, because it is notcompatible with the new ios 6, the phone can not be up dated any more. Now this is what I need. Because I can not find it, I need to find the actual ios 5.1.1 download, so I can get my iPhone 3gs to opperate again? Please help, I need to find the ios 5.1.1 EXE file, so I can download it back onto my phone, is this possible?

    It is not possible.  Further, the iPhone 3GS is capable of running iOS 6.
