My ipad2 settings menu does not have an update software listed. I'm trying to update to ios5

My ipad2 settings page menu does not have an 'update software' on it. How do I update to ios5?

The update to iOS 5 is a lengthy process.  Your entire device is being backed up, then wiped, then the new OS is installed, then your apps, etc., rebuilt on the device.  If you have a lot apps, etc., on your device it will take a long time to update.

  • My Bridge Tools menu does not have Photoshop submenu

    Hi,
    In Bridge CS3, I just noticed that the Tools menu does not have a Photoshop submenu and therefore I cannot apply Batch commands - among other things.
    I have the latest version (2.1.1.9) in MAC OS X Leopard. What is going on?
    I have a friend that has the same program in Windows Vista and has the Photoshop submenu...
    Please help!

    Check your preference folder start up scripts. Inhere the startup script should have a checkmark on it. if not put in on and after restart the script should be there.
    Otherwise try a refresh preferences holding down the option key when restarting bridge.

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to download IOS if under settings there is no software update button available. Do I have to reset my iPad and lose data?

    My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to get IOS 6 onto it. When I go into settings there is no software update button.

    If you are really on iOS 5 then look in Settings > General > Software update.
    Otherwise:
    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 iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • HT4623 My general settings page does not have a software update option, any ideas on what to do?

    My general settings page does not have the software update option on it does anyone know what I need to do? Was trying to update iOS

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to follow the second part of that article and 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
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    If it's a first gen iPad then it should be update to iOS 5.1.1, if it's an iPad 2 (or 3) then it will update to iOS 6 (so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change).

  • My iphone does not have facetime on it.  I've tried going into restrictions, but there's a passcode that doesn't seem to be one that I've used before.  Is it possible to reset the phone and then just restore a portion of the old information?

    My iPhone does not have Facetime on it.  I've tried going into restrictions, but there's a passcode that doesn't seem to be one that I've used before.  Is it possible to reset the phone and then just restore a portion of the old information?  I've tried several pass codes and now am locked out for an hour after being locked out for 5 minutes and then 15 minutes.  It said that I had tried 7 pass codes prior to these, but I don't remember ever trying to get into restrictions before.
    I've looked up other posts on this, and my phone was purchased in the US and does not have an AE in the model number.

    When you have access to your iPhone again, FaceTime is a pre installed app that cannot be removed.

  • I am currently using the original macbook air and it is running 10.5.8 since it does not have anywhere to insert a disc how do I update it to anything that is more recent than that

    Keep in mind you can also use the optical drive of another computer to upgrade OS X. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2129 has information on how to do that. This works on a Windows PC as well as a Mac.

  • Project settings menu does not appear

    Running OS 10.9.5 and iMovie 10.0.5 on a macbook pro.
    I'm trying to set the aspect ratio of my project.  I have seen several docs and threads that say I should click File->Project Settings and the project settings menu will come up.  However, I can't find that. The file menu does not contain Project Settings or anything like that. Neither do the other pull down menus.
    I have also seen threads describing how when I create a new project (trailer or movie) and there is supposed to be point at which I can select the aspect ratio.  Nope, don't see that either. For example, when I click the big "+" that is used to create a project, I get to choose between a trailer and a movie, then I get to choose a theme, then it asks for a name and I click OK and that's it.
    I have also used Command-J, which is supposed to bring up the properties menu. That does give me the movie properties, but there is no place to choose an aspect ratio. I get the same results, or lack thereof, when I do Window->Move Properties (not surprising since command-J is the short cut key for this).
    Question -- is this supposed to work with 10.0.5?  I have tried to find a later version of iMovie but the only one I found on the apple store site was 10.0.6.
    Any ideas?????

    I have finally found where it is stated that iMovie 10 does not support project properties or changing the aspect ratio.
    I love Apple and would never consider switching to a PD, but really, folks, this is just a plain dumb decision on Apple's part and IMHO reflects the continuing siphoning of quality resources from OS-X/laptops/desktops to iPhone and other gadgets. yuck.
    consider this discussion closed (I don't know how to close  it) and I will fire up my old iMini that has OS 10.6 on it and see if I can get the job done there.
    yuck.

  • HT4623 My phone does not have. A software update tab in general menu

    How do I upgrade iOS if I can't get into software menu.
    This handset does not have the software tab

    If you have an iOS version lower than 5, you won;t have an Update button in settings as it was only added in on iOS 5.  You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
    In the article you came from, Scroll down to the section titled: Update your device using iTunes

  • Printer settings menu does not always change when switching printers

    I am running OS 10.3.9 and also seen this issue on a 10.4 machine. When switching from one printer to another the printer options drop down menu does not always transfer to the correct menu for the newly selected printer. It stays at the menu for the last used printer. I am using several different Sharp printers as well as some HP models. The applications being used are Office 10 Word and Power Point. If anyone has seen this and has a fix I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks

    I don't have a solution but have also noticed that the printer in the menu is sort of like spinning the wheel of fortune.
    Hopefully there is a solution but my guess is that it has something to do with a printer preference file that can get hijacked by different printers and applications.
    I have noticed that a printer driver when installed will usually appear as the default printer even if it was not selected as such. I have also notice that different applications will do different things with different printers so I hope someone has a solution.
