The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.

A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via

A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

Only an iPod with cameras can go to iOS 6

  • HT5457 How do I download iOS 6

    I need help too find iOS 6 so I can use Siri on my I pad 3 

    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).

  • HT5457 i want to download ios 5 to my iphone 3

    how do you download ios 5 to a iphone 3? whent i go to settings, software update does not show up ?

    Alas, I think you will find that iPhone 3 hardware is incompatible with any IOS software graeter than about 4.2 or 4.3.
    It still makes a great phone but nearly have apps have migrated to IOS 5 or 6.

  • How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad?

    I want to download IOS 7 for my IPad. I would like to do this through my computer so I do not have to remove my apps. However, when I go into updates in my iTunes, the only selection I get is IOS 8. I do not want to use IOS 8 until it is fixed. So the question is... How do I download IOS 7 to my IPad through my computer?

    You can't.
    There is no longer iOS 7 available and no longer anyway to obtain or download it.
    The current iOS version is iOS 8.0.2.
    I would NOT advise updating your iPad at this time.
    iOS 8, IMO, is still plenty buggy and NOT ready for older iPad 2 and 3 devices, as yet.
    DO NOT UPDATE!
    I would suggest waiting it out until, at least iOS 8.1 is, eventually, released.

  • How do I download iOS 5 to make use of the newest apps?  If I cannot, when can we download iOS 5 to my iPod?

    I have an G2 Ipod Touch that have not used in at least a year.  I want to download some of the new apps for my daughter, but most of them require iOS 5.  How do I download iOS 5 on my Touch?

    iOS 5 is not compatible with the iPod Touch 2G. You will have to get a new iPod Touch to run these apps.

  • How do I download iOS 5.0 on iPad 1?

    How can I download iOS 5.0 for iPad 1?  When I try to do so, plugging a USB chord into the iPad and my Mac laptop, I do not see the iPad symbol in the Mac's lefthand column (which was the supposed step needed to find and click on an update link).  Without iOs 5.0 I can't update certain apps that require it, e.g., Pages and iWriter.  Can anyone help?

    Your iPad is not being recognized in iTunes. Try restarting the Mac and the iPad and then connect again and see if the iPad is recognized.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If still no luck, start here.

    You must be running iTunes 10.5 on the Mac as well in order to update the iPad to iOS 5. If you haven't updated to 10.5, download and install iTunes 10.5 and that may help with the iPad being recognized as well.

  • HT1414 How do I download iOS 5 Software update?

    Please how do I download iOS 5 Software update if I'm not ready to update via iTunes?

    I have a job, so I don't hang your every word as soon as you post a reply to a thread in which I've participated. Now I've read your other post correcting the fact that I put 6.0.2 as the latest version of iPhone software I won't refer to the version specifically any more.
    So, is iOS 5 available for download?
    I find you very aggresive in your approach and if it continues, I will more than likely only ask questions on here rather than trying to assist others.
    I have better things to do and I'm just trying to help.

    I currently do not have a laptop or CPU. How do I download iOS 6 to my iPad 2?

    If your iPad 2 has iOS 5 currently, you can download over-the-air.
    Make sure your iPad is either plugged in or very well charged.  Then go to Settings > General > Software Update.
