HT5567 I'm not sure how to download ios6 on my ipad 2.  There is no software update under my general settings.

How can one download the ios 6 onto the ipad 2 when there is no software updates under general settings?  Do I need to reset network settings?

You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.

  • HT4623 I cannot update my iPhone 4.  I have reset and erased all content and my phoine still does not have a "software update" under the general settings.  What now?

    I cannot update my iPhone 4.  I have erased all content and reset the phone, however, there is still no "software update" under the general settings on my phone.  I keep trying to download the update through iTunes and it quits everytime without success.  Any suggestions?

    READ the entire article from which the question was posted.
    It clearly states that the "Update Software" option ONLY applies to iOS 5 and later.
    If there are issues with updating via iTunes, provide specific details of what is occurring so that we can offer relevant solutions.

  • HT4623 I don't have "software update" under my general settings. How do I update my iPhone4 iOS?

    Hi. I have an iphone4 and can't update my iOS. I don't have "software update" as a option under general settings. How do I update my phone?

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPhone to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • HT4972 My iPhone 4 does not allow me to update my phone there is no "software update" selection in general settings

    My iPhone 4 does not allow me to update to ios5.  There is no "software updates" listed under settings and general where this is usually found?

    You will need to connect the iPhone to the computer and iTunes and update in that fashion. Since the OTA update ability was introduced in iOS 5, if your device has an iOS of less than iOS 5, you will have to do it that way. After updating, you will be able to do subsequent updates OTA.
    Connect to iTunes, select the phone in the device pane and select update. Also, you will not be able to update to iOS 5, you can only update to the latest iOS, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 6.1.3.
