I need to update to iOS 5 but my phone doesn't have "Software Update" in the "General" menu. What should I do?
When trying to update my phone I realize that the line "Software Update" which is supposed to be found between "About" and "Usage" in the General menu simply isn't there. Is there some way to fix this problem or to go around and update to iOS 5 in some other way?
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.

My iPod will not update! In the settings it doesn't have software update and I don't know last time it was updated! I need help because I want this to be updated! Somebody please help!
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows

A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

Contact the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked and
ask that carrier if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.

I haven’t been in this situation, but can’t you just change your account settings and use a different e-mail or maybe add another secondary e-mail to use for verification?

Requires iOS 5.0 or higher to have that setting. If you don't have that setting, follow the directions in the support article you linked to to update your phone.

Will my iPhone 4s turn off as part of the process of updating my iOS? The on/off button on my iphone doesn't work so I can't allow my phone to run out of battery or turn off because I will not be able to turn it back on.
Ok here is a nuance
Try it - when your phone locks
Insert the charging cord which is connected to a power source on the other end - wait about a minute - and then take it out
The screen will "wake up"
That is always your way out
I use assistive touch as well to lessen the wear and tear on my home button
Sleep mode is what your phone does when you are asleep

i need help with updating my ios on my 8 gb ipod touch it has neever been updated and is still running 4.3 and i have no idea what i have to do
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.3.

How can i get iCloud on my iPhone 3g it doesn't have software update or any graphics plz help
please help how can i get graphics and sftware download on my iphone i have no update on my ph either
If you have a 3G you can't use iCloud as iCloud requires iOS 5 or higher and the 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.
If you have a 3GS, update it to iOS 6 by connecting it to iTunes. If you aren't prompted to update, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Check for Update. After updating you can set it up as shown here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html. -

Need to view source code in version 7 does not have a spot on the view menu
upgraded to version 7, am teaching a high school class on HTML and we use the page source all the time, it has gone in version 7. Where is it located?????
Even though I've been updating my Beta versions (now in FF 8), I just noticed this stupidity now, because most of the time I still use FF 3.6. (Bring back the d*%n Status Bar! Then I'll use the new versions regularly.)
After more than 7 years of having "Page Source" be the most useful thing in the View menu (since at least version 0.8 back in 2004), these numbskulls decide that the View menu shouldn't provide '''''all the viewing options available?'''''
