I can't find the software update button on my iPhone 4

I can't find the software update button on my iPhone 4, it's missing. I went to settings> general>the there was no software update button! How can I get it back????

iTunes, you must Update or Restore the Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 the first time (to system 5) with iTunes. After that you can update via the Air.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's on iOS 5 and 6. Connect the iPod to your computer and iTunes will ask you to update iOS to the most recent version

    Under About, what version do you have? The Software Update option in Settings was not introduced until iOS 5.0.

    Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running.  If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button.  It was added when iOS 5 came out.  The current iOS is 5.1.1.  To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes.  Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward.  Make sure you have a lot of time.  Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.

  • I can't find the software update  for the ios5 on air update

    Where can I find the software update option for iOS 5 on air update on iPad2. Not able to find it in current settings menu

    If it's not available within Settings->General->Update, have patience. The Apple servers in your area don't have it for your region yet.

  • Where can I find the software updates?  Have looked all over the site!

    You update through iTunes if you have iOS 4. If you have iOS 5 then tap Settings > General > Software Update.

  • HT4623 Can't find the software update in my setting

    Can't find the software update in my setting

    Software Update from the iPad came with iOS 5. If you still have iOS 4 on your iPad, you will need to connect the iPad to iTunes on a computer to get the iPad updated to iOS 5 (or shortly iOS 6). Once you have iOS 5 or later, you can then perform future updates directly from the iPad, though if you don't use iCloud to make backups, I still recommend updating through your computer so you get a backup there.

  • HT4623 I can not find the "software update" option

    I tried to update my iPad from iTunes they are instructions indicating to pursue them as follow settings than general than update software
    I can not find the last one? Is there any solution?

    Scroll down in the HT4623 article you attached to the "Update your device using iTunes" section.
    You must not have yet installed iOS 5 on your iPad, so there is no "Software Update" button.

  • I have recently downloaded OS X lion and I want to upgrade iPhoto to use with iCloud. I can't find the software update anywhere where can I get this?

    I have recently downloaded IOS X Lion and I want to upgrade Iphoto to use with ICloud, I can't see the upgraded anywhere on the computer in system updates or on APP store updates. Where can I find this?

    If you have lion and iPhoto '11 (latest version is 9.2.1) you can set up and turn on iCloud there and if you have IOS 5 on your mobile then your mobile devices will sync with your Mac
    If this does not cover what you need please describe your situation in more detail

  • I'm trying to update my iphone 4s but can't find the "software update" option on my phone.

    In all of the instructions it indicates to go to settings, general, and then software updates.  When I go to settings, and then general.....there is no software update option for me after that.  Any idea as to where that would be?  I've never "updated".

    See the "Update your device using iTunes" section in:

  • HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

    You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

    How are you trying to update, direct on your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update, or via your computer's iTunes ? If via your computer then you will need iTunes 11.1 installed : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
