I am trying to upgrade to iOS 5. When I bring up General I cannot find the upgrade  upgrade that is required.

I am trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. I go to General there is no where to upgrade

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
An iPad 2 will be updated to iOS 6.1, that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for it.

    After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

    Before you panic, try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • I need to upgrade to OSX version 10.6.8 or later but cannot find the download anywhere?

    Please help! - I need to upgrade to OSX version 10.6.8 or later but cannot find the download anywhere?

    10.6.8 requires 10.6 some version to be installed in the first place.  Stedman's link will give you 10.6.3 retail which should work with the machine in your signature.   If you need the 10.6.8 update, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    If you need 10.7 or above, read this tip first:

    I have two Ipad's and tried to create two ITune Libraries on my computer. Now cannot find the original library on my computer and the Ipad will not syc?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • I have been trying to upgrade to iOS 5.1 for a while now and cannot find  out how to do it any hintsout hoe

    I cannot upgrade my iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 for a while now any hints.?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Try the update again
    Settings > General > Software Update
    The update servers have been very busy so keep trying.

  • Cannot find the IOS5 upgrade for my iPhone3

    Please help, i would really like to use this upgrade

    If you have an iphone 3Gs and you have itunes 10.5, then open itunes and connect the iphone.  It will tell you there is an update, just update like any other update.
    If it is an iphone 3G, then you cannot update to ios 5.

  • If I upgrade my iOS from 5.1 to 6.0 then do I have to upgrade my Xcode also? So my question is all my old Xcode project which I have tried with Xcode 4.3.2 will be still there because I do not want to destroy them.

    I have xcode 4.3.2 and  iOS simulator Version 5.1 (272.21). But this course is on iOS 6. If I upgrade my iOS from 5.1 to 6.0 then do I have to upgrade my Xcode also? So my question is all my old Xcode project which I have tried with Xcode 4.3.2 will be still there because I do not want to destroy them.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b). Please let me know about upgrading iOS version so that I will be able to do the class project.

    To program for iOS 6, you need iOS 6 SDK. You need to download Xcode 4.5.x. But don't worry. All your previous projects are still alive and you are able to open them in the new Xcode.

  • I upgraded to iOS x mavericks on my iMac now i cannot access my iPhoto i get this messageThis update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    I upgraded to iOS x mavericks on my iMac now i cannot access my iPhoto i get this messageThis update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. I have not changed anything thankyou for any info.

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, elect the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

  • Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick?

    Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick? I just tried to open an iCloud document after upgrading to iOS 8 in all my Apple smart devices and OSX 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, only to be told that the new iCloud isn't compatible with Maverick and that I should upgrade to Yosemite. Problem is, Yosemite is only available as a Beta and won't have a public release until Oct. 21. Why would Apple cut its users off from iCloud like this?

    plotdot wrote:
    Checking with my better half, I'm now even more perturbed. According the the iCloud Drive FAQ, it's compatible with PCs running Windows 7. The current Windows OS is 8, which means Apple made iCloud backwardly compatible with Windows, for PC users, but not for its own customers. That *****.
    iTunes customers are Apple customers, what are you going on about?

    If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

I restored to the factory settings using i tunes as i have my back up on my pc but still the same problem. I have swapped sim and my Sim is working on other iphone with ios 6.1.3

    Try a new SIM from your carrier.  If that doesn't work, make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.
