I am missing the look for updates in my general settings. How do I update my iOS?

I am missing the look for updates window in my general settings on my ipad2. It's on my iphone4 but not my iPad. How do I update my iOS on my iPad?

Connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates.

my 4th gen ipod touch is running slow with everything. how do i look for updates or is there somthing i can do to speed it up?

Th 4G can go to the current 6.1.3, To update see:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.
You do have a 4G, right? It does have cameras?
Identifying iPod models
A 3G can go to 5.1.1
A 2G to 4.2.1

I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Continue to hit the check for update button ?????

Update is not working here as well…
Should I just leave the phone plugged in and will the system continue to check for the update OR should I continue to hit the check for update button…
PLEASE ADVISE

Update isn't working for any of us...I just called AT & T to see if I could switch on my old blackberry...they were friendly and helpful sure you can buy a new simcard for $25.00 bucks and then when you get your apple updated we can turn you on to the new service but you will be treated like the new apple 3g folks..A new contract and the difference in costs...GEEZZZ so it looks like my apple is doing me nothing...So I am screwed today no phone.....Thank you AT & T and Apple...One would think they would be hit with an increase in bandwidth and they would prepare for it...

Went to install Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2 on my imac and now the 'checking for updates' message is stuck.

Hi everyone,
I have an imac and had the update for Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2 ready on my app store to install. However, when I went to update it, my app store just keeps saying 'checking for updates' for the past two hours. I'm not sure if this is part of the Thunderbolt update?
I know it originally warns you the computer will restart and a grey screen will appear with a progress bar, but I've had none of that. Just the 'checking for updates' message constantly going.
Does anyone know how long this update takes and is this normal?
If I click on the update for Thunderbolt again it comes up with a greyed out 'waiting' message to the left.
Please help ...
Thanks in advance.

Ok, it seemed I could still click on the thunderbolt update so it was never going to do anything. I force closed the app store and now it's showing 1 update available like it was (for the thunderbolt). Looks like the app store was just stuck trying to check for updates.
I'll try again another time :-)

I'm still new to apple. I have a prompt that two of my apps have updates. Will it tell me if the update is free or has to be paid for? All I see is the button for "update"

Automatic updates that look like this do not add cost beyond what you originally paid:
This is how Apple delivers the patches and updates that are detected to apply to your system.
Did iy look like something else?

"songs..can't be updated b/c all the playlists for updating no longer exist

My Ipod was "off power" for so long that it "forgot" all its music. Now when I plug it in to my base computer, rather then synching it says "songs on the ipod "name" cannot be updated because all the playlists for updating no longer exist"

Hey.
See if this can help;

"All of the playlists for updating no longer exist"???!!

I created a few new playlists and deleted an old one in iTunes, and then when I plugged in my mini to update I get the message:
Songs on the iPod Kellee's iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists for updating no longer exist"
There are no songs in my mini after this msg. I reset it, tried to update again, but got the same msg. Please help!!

Hi Kellee!
Why do people delete playlists?? Seems like you have the same problem someone I tried to help has. She got the exact same error message when she deleted a playlist. If I were you I would have shifted some songs around, changed the name of the playlist to something else but NOT deleted the playlist. I don't think you can get the same playlist back once you delete it. Question is why is your iPod not recognizing your new playlists and it's requesting to update the playlist you already deleted?? I'm afraid I can't help you but maybe someone else can. I just wanted to say this.

I currently have iTunes version 7 and I need to upgrade to version 10. I am afraid of losing all my music if I just download 10 and when I use the "Check for updates" in the version 7 help menu, it tells me the server cannot be contacted.

I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?

Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

My firefox beta 12 using Linux platform does not update to firefox RC1 via the "check for update" function. I know windows' beta version had this fixed, when would Linux get similar support ?

Current platform : Linux
Current firefox version : Firefox 4 beta 12
Issue : does not update to RC 1 using the check for update feature.
Background : previously downloaded beta 8 and then it automatically updated to beta 12 using update features but for RC1, it does not.
I know users under Windows platform had same problem but was resolved and they can now update via check for update feature.
Please implement for Linux users too.
Thanks !!

If you can't update then you can download and install the full Firefox 4 RC version.

IOS 6.1.3 / Windows 7 - 64 bit. I am connecting my IPhone 4 to my Windows desktop, in ITunes I click on IPhone and then the "Check for Update" tab. It takes me to a Windows explorer window. How do I get it to find updates?

Hello ibebry
Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file.

It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

Disabling the Check for Update feature in 10.1.3

Hi,
I work at a government facility that has tight security restrictions regarding downloading software. We are about to prepare a software delivery package for JDeveloper 10.1.3 that will let our IT department install JDeveloper on all of our developer workstations. One thing we would like to do as part of this deployment package is to disable the Check for Updates and PlugIn feature of JDeveloper. Is there a setting in a configuration file that controls this menu item?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
Is the requirement to disable the check for updates feature altogether (i.e. remove the menu item), or to just disable the automatic check that happens on startup?
There isn't currently a documented way to totally disable the feature altogether, however it's possible to add such a feature in a future service update if necessary.
There is a potential way in which you can modify the behavior of the wizard such that it will always find no updates (the menu item will still be present, however). If this is an acceptable solution to you, let me know and I'll fill you in on the details.
Thanks,
Brian

HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1. Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional. Advice?

I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
