I am having trouble updating my iPhone 4

When I use the tutorial to upgrade my phone, it tells me to go to Software Updates which is not available which is not available on my general settings.
I want to upgrade to as new a version as I can

That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later... If you have iOS 4... See Here...

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

Did you try to connect in recovery mode? iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

I am having trouble updating my iphone software. The instructions take me in an endless loop. Says sync is complete, but update does not occur.

I have updated Itunes, backed-up iphone to itunes, but can't update software. When I click update, it takes me back through the syncing process. I have synced wiht Itunes 5 times now and still no update to my iphone software.

When you connect and it says "backing up iPhone" at the top of the iTunes window, there should be a small "x" to the right of the message that will stop the backup. It will then allow you to progress to syncing and updating the iPhone. Once you're updated, try the backup process again to make sure that everything is ok.

Try using iTunes on your computer to do the update. Make sure you are running the current iTunes (11.1.3).

I have been having trouble updating my iPhone lately. Every time I go and try to sync it with the computer all of the apps that I have deleted from the iPhone keep reappearing on the phone. Why is this happening? Thanks heaps

Please if anyone has had this problem please help me, as I am getting annoyed with it.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Connect the device to iTunes and restore from the most current backup.
If the issue continues, restore as new.

If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after updating to iOS 6: iOS 6.0.1 Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the original wireless carrier. If this

If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
updating to iOS 6:
iOS 6.0.1
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
USA
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does It mean?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Airtel 13.0

It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

HT1688 Why am I having trouble updating the new ios7.0.4 to my iphone 4s?

Why am I having trouble updating the new ios7.0.4 to my iPhone 4s?

There is no update for iOS 7.0.4.

I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7

I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7. Though I initially didn't care about updating, I can't download certain apps without updating to i0S7. I have tried to update while wireless and while connected to iTunes, but it is saying that I do not have enough storage space to update. I have heard that I can remove the music from my iPhone (creating space), update my phone to i0S 7 and then put my music back onto my iPhone, but how do I go about doing this? I don't want to make a mistake and lose all of my music. Does anyone know of another way that I can update without having to delete more music, photos, apps etc. ?

As long as your music is in iTunes, you can delete it from your iPhone no problem. iTunes will not change. You cannot update if you do not have enough space, so if you can remove that music and some photos, it should work then.
