  • HT2534 ummm, we don't have the none button to select for our payment type, how can you set it up without that button or a credit card??? apple isn't doing to good of a job so far and i'm not impressed

    Hi, I'm setting up an account for my brother, but apparently we need a credit card. Neither of us own one and the system won't let us continue without one. Now I know that there's supposed to be a none selection, but it won't appear on ours. How can we continue if we don't have a credit card or the none selection button??? Help us please!!!!

    When I created a new account on my computer's iTunes yesterday, I first logged out of my existing account. I then found a free app in the store, clicked on it's free 'price' to 'buy' it, clicked on 'create Apple id' and filled in details about the new account and which gave me the option of 'none' for the payment details - clicking on the 'verify' email that I received then allowed me to download a free app.
    That is the process that you are using when you tried to create both new accounts ? The instructions won't work on existing accounts (even if the account has only been partially created), and you are in the country that you are trying to create the account for ?

    You have to already be running iOS 5 in order to update OTA with WiFi. You are obviously not running iOS 5 yet. You will need to update via iTunes on a computer, running  the most recent version of iTunes. Read more about it here.

  • HT4623 I don't have the Software UpgradeTab under General Settings to Push and then auto upgrade?

    I don't get a "Software Upgrade" Tab under General Settings.  So I can't figure out how to upgrade my IPOD.  It's two years old and its' never been upgraded, so I don't even know what version  of Software it has on it right now.  Please advise.  Thanks.

  • HT4972 I don't have the software updates in my general settings so how do I get the software updates I'll need for Facebook & instagram etc?

    I don't have the software updates in my general settings so how do I get the updates to use instagram, Facebook etc? Any help appreciated

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • HT4623 I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone?

    I don't have the software update option in my settings. How can I update my phone so I can download apps?

    Are you referring to updating the iOS? Software update for the phone has nothing to do with downloading apps. The only time the OTA software update for the phone iOS was after iOS 5. If you are looking to update applications, then go to the App store and select updates.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

    I want to update my ipad216GB to iOS.5 but i don't have the software update option in it so how do I update it to iOS.5

    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).

    I don't have the "software update" in general setting .. How can I update my iPad ?

    Software updates to iOS can only be done from the iPad when you have iOS 5. You will need to update through iTunes to get the latest version, after which you will be able to update directly from the iPad if you wish.

    Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

  • I have an ipad1 and would like to update to to 5.1 but no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update to newer versions?

    I no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update?

    You have no choice but to use iTunes on a computer if you want to update. You can update on any computer running iTunes, but you will lose everything on the iPad unless you can back the iPad up on that computer, restore from the backup when you are done updating and then download all of your content again.

    You can't. iOS 5 requires an iPhone 3GS or better, or a third generation or newer iPod touch.

  • I have a dumb phone I am trying to update my operating system but don't have the software update under general setting. I've tried to do this on line but nothing! Help

    I have a dumb phone not a smart phone. It doesn't have the software update under general setting. I tried to upgrade online but nothing! Currently, I cannot get many apps because I need the upgrade. Help

    That's because you don't have iOS 5 or higher. See the following:
    Connect the phone to your computer. Open iTunes. Select your phone from the sidebar under Devices. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Click on the Update button.
