Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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 antivirus 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 7.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.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

When I plug my iPod into my computer, it wants me to download the 4.3.5 update, not ios 5. How do I get around this? I have the iPod 4g, so it should be compatible.

Have you tried a Reset...

HT4623 the "software update" option is not visible in my general settings

Hi-I am trying to update the software of my iphone 4 (which I have never done) and the "software update" option is not visible in my general settings. Any 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 to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - 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'.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

11.0.3 update not showing up in software update.

I am currently running itunes 11.0.2 on OS X 10.8.3. Checking for an upate for itunes from within the app indicates an update is available. Choosing to download it brings up the app store. App store checks and retruns that no updates are available. Any ideas? I guess I could go ahead and download the install image for 11.0.3. Just curious why it isn't showing up.
thanks.

HT4972 I need to update a 4.3 version on my iPad 2. Not sure how to do that as it is not listed in my general settings

I need to update my version of operating system from 4.3 to 7. It is not listed in my general settings.

Connect the iPad to your computer, open iTunes and it should be recognized. You should get a pop window saying update available.

Weather not displaying in notification center after iOS 5 update not to mention the entire user interface is much more sluggish.

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

How do I get features to show up in general settings like iCloud and FaceTime? I also can't turn on location services for Siri. I have the new iPad and have updated to the new operating system. Please Help Me.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

IOS 8: spotlight not showing wikipedia result snippets

hi
running 8.0.2.
iOS 8: spotlight not showing wikipedia result snippets.
it does show the static Search Wikipedia link however.
how to get the spotlight search snippets of wikipedia to show, as advertised?
thanks

Turn Spotlight Suggestions on and off a few times. If it still doesn't work try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.
I'm using a iPad but I can't see that making a difference.

Error installing CS5 updates; Some updates not showing up.

When I select a photo in lightroom 5 and opt to edit it in photoshop, I get a notification that says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.3 for full compatibility. Pleas update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu."
Upon entering photoshop and opening the update tool, there are two updates, but neither for the Camera Raw plug-in. I went ahead and tried to update those anyway, and at the end, I got two error messages reading "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." and "Installation failed." The updates were for Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 and Adobe Device Central CS5.0.1, respectively.
My question has two parts. First, how can I work around these error messages and successfully install the updates, and second, why is the Camera Raw plug-in update not showing up? Thanks in advance!
Below are screenshots of the Lightroom message and the update error messages.

What updates should have been available, and
Why were they not available at that time?
Lets examine the case of the backup that has been on the shelf a while.
I really would like to help, but this post does not really answer my two questions. If you want to troubleshoot this scenario, we're going to need some HARD information to work with.
WSUS reported (updates needed report) that there were 90+ updates available and approved for that machine
The computer reporded that there were no updates available.
My first eyebrow-raising moment here is the idea that a computer has 90+ updates
approved and available (and, ostensibly, cannot find any of them to be downloaded), and my very first question in response to raising that eyebrow is this: And all 90+ of those updates are NOT SUPERSEDED??? To which my second question would be: When
was the last time that machine had patches installed?
I took a look at another computer in the same OU and computer update group with the same initial install image and I see 12 updates available, all not yet approved for that group.
If the updates are Not Approved, then those updates are also Not Available.
I'll also point out here that the best way to approach this scenario is to believe what you see and investigate the reason why, rather than questioning the veracity of what's displayed in the console or the logs.
If the client says there are no updates available for installation, then that's the bottom line, and the proper response is to identify an update that
should be available for installation and determine why it's not being downloaded/installed.

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

I think they want you to upgrade to the new Iphone or get the Iphone c or s
Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8. It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8. Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old. In cell phone land, that is ancient........

All apps need to update not showing in iTunes

All apps need to update not showing in iTunes. For example, 50 apps need to update. On section "Updates" shows only 10 programs. If you click on the "Update all programs" is updating all 50 programs. Last version of iTunes (11.1.5) installed.

On your MacBook yes, but not on another device. That should take place when your phone syncs with your iTunes. I wonder if what you are observing is due to the fact that you have turned off Wi-Fi syncing with your phone. Connect the phone to iTunes with the USB cable, select the summary tab and ensure that the option to sync over Wi-Fi is checked.

nevermind, Just figured out that my iMac does not support it. Thanks Apple, once again coming up with stupid functionality that only works when you pay more money. 3yr old machine, I guess I need to send it to scrap heap.

IOS 7 does not show up as an available update either on my iPad or in iTunes. Is there another way to upgrade?

My iPad does not show iOS 7 as an either on my iPad or when I use iTunes. When in iTunes it states that my iPad software is up to date (as iOS 5.1.1)
