What you are looking for is only available for iOS 5 and above. You will need to connect your iPhone to a computer and update through iTunes as always.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher.

HT1222 Why cant i install my software update
Why cant i install my software update
1. No no no .. No virus !!! See HERE
2. May be just a one-off instance. Only if you are unlucky, it may happen again. Never happened on my Lumia 920 and Lumia 1020 with so many updates. Anyway, you may try the Lumia Software Recovery Tool in such a case.
.. so go for it and enjoy the new features. All the very Best. -

Try disabling your computer's security software during the downloading and installation. I found that rebooting my router and modem helped too.

Why cant i update to os 10.7.5
why cant i update to os 10.7.5?
If you're still running 10.6.3, you'll need to update to 10.6.8 to get the App Store. Since you didn't supply any information about your Mac, Lion might not be a good match for you.
After you have the App Store, Lion can be ordered here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion -

why cant i update my apps
One thing to check is to see if you have any items waiting to download in iTunes (on your iPhone).
The most recent time I had this problem, I checked there and found 5 items that hadn't downloaded properly. Once cleared, things started updating again.
It looks like there's a system-wide download queue, and, unlike the non-iPhone versions, it will only download one item at a time. So, if one item gets stuck, the others wait patiently behind it until its their turn, like polite people on an escalator. Pausing or deleting the troublesome download will allow the others to continue. -
Hello why cant we store more then 25,000 songs that have been uploaded in the Icloud from my cd's
Hello why cant we store more then 25,000 songs that have been uploaded in the Icloud from my cd's, I'm a DJ and the purpose of getting the Icloud was not only for backup but to have access to all my music and this 25,000 song limit is not acceptable for me. I also upgraded my icloud drive to 200gb in hope that this would help, did it? I dont know as of yet, I just did it any thoughts out there??
