I do not have 'Software Update' on my 'General' settings. How do I get it please?
I am trying to update an app. However, I have no 'Software Update' setting on my 'General' settings. How do I get it please?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
Cheers, Tom

Correct, Software Update does not appear in iOS until iOS 5. The iPhone 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.
Note the iPhone 3G came out almost five years ago. -
HT4623 My ipad does not have "Software update" option under General Settings
Trying to update ipad. My ipad does not have the "Software update" option referenced in instructions.
You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
Instructions here for all iOS versions. Make sure that you go down to the section about using iTunes. The first part of the article only applies to you if you are already running iOS 5.

Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update -

HT4623 Don't have software update in my general settings why?
Don't have software update in my general settings, why? And whatever I try my iPhone won't let me update software. Suggestions
The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad or iPhone to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the device to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the device 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 device by right-clicking the iPad/iPhone 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the device on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

I have an iPad 3.2 Model MB292X and it doesn't have "Software Updates" section under General Settings. How do I update my ios settings? Help!
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 "software update" under my general settings. How do I update my iPhone4 iOS?
Hi. I have an iphone4 and can't update my iOS. I don't have "software update" as a option under general settings. How do I update my phone?
If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPhone to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972 -
I just realized that there are some apps I no longer have access to since the switch to iOS 5. So I followed the instructions, and there is no SOFTWARE UPDATE tab for me to click on under Settings-General.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - 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 to iOS 5/6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
