    I have an iphone 4 but no software update button.  How do I update iOS?

    iOS version prior to ios 5 do not include a way to update the iOS over the air on the device itself. You must use iTunes on the computer you normally sync with to complete the update.
    Start iTunes on your computer and use the menu to check for updates. If an update to iTunes is available download and install it.
    Then start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in the left column of iTunes and select General in the right column. Scroll down to find Check for Updates.

  • HT4623 My iPad has no software update "button" ???

    My iPad has no Software update button in the General tab.  How do I fix?

    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'.
    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

  • HT4623 My IPhone does not have software update button.....

    I would like iOs 6 and ICloud installed to my IPhone 4 but I don't have a software update. How can I get iOs 6 and ICloud??

    You must upgrade through iTunes. That feature requires iOS 5 or later which you apparently don't have. So see:

       2. iPhone Support
       3. iPod Touch Support
       4. iPad Support
         a. Updating Your iOS to Version 6.0.x from iOS 5
              Tap Settings > General > Software Update
         If an update is available there will be an active Update button. If you are current,
         then you will see a gray screen with a message saying your are up to date.
         b. If you are still using iOS 4 — Updating your device to iOS 5 or later.
         c. Resolving update problems
            1. iOS - Unable to update or restore

  • I pad utilities has no software update button or usage button

    When going into utlities to check for software update there is no "button" for software update and it does not have a usage "button"  Why not????

    What iOS level are you running? To get the Software Update feature you have to be running iOS 5 or later.
    On iOS 4 you have to connect to iTunes on a PC or Mac to update.

  • No software update button for my Iphone 4.

    Hello, I just bought a used Iphone 4 from Verizon today. I wanted to download the facebook app and when I went to do so it told me that i would need to download the iOs 4.3. At that point I looked through it and asked a friend that also has an iphone 4 and he said to look in the Settings > General > Software Update. I did that and could not find the software update, I then looked through everything in the setttings and could not find it. Am I missing something or is it really not there?

    The software update function in settings did not arrive to the iphone until the release of the operating system 5. The current operating system is 5.1.1. To get the software update button under general in settings you must first connect your iphone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes and select update. Once your iphone is running IOS 5, you will be able to do all future updates directly from the phone without connecting to a computer.

  • 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?

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

    Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update.  You must update using iTunes on your computer.
    Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes.  Let it sync.  Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes.  That should od it for you.

  • HT4623 i don't have the "software update" button in the general settings bit on my unlocked iphone 3GS? how do i update my iphone 3gs?

    i have an unlocked iphone 3gs, and i want to update it. it doesnt have a software update button in the settings section under general. how do i do it? would i have to plug the iphone into the computer of the person who used it before i did? please help!

    Plug it into itunes with the USB cable.  The over the air update feature is a new feature, not part of iOS4, so you do not have it to use until you update.

    My iphone 4 has not been updated since I purchased it a year ago. When I go to settings to click software update as per instructions, the software update is not listed. How & where do I go  to update my phone?

    You'll have to use iTunes on your computer to get your iPhone to the latest version of iOS. From there you'll be able to update directly from the iPhone for future releases.

    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.

    What version of iOS software do you have currently?
    You can also update in iTunes:
    Select the device in iTunes and you can find this on the summary page. All 3rd party app updates are done through the App Store updates tab.
    Hope this helps!

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone 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).
