    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 are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • HT4972 How come my iPad does not have software update in the settings?

    Help, my iPad does not have software update available in settings, how do I update?

    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.

  • Will iOS 6.1.3 on the iPod Touch 4th generation ever get a software update for the iPod Touch 4th Generation

    Not likely

  • Ipod 2g settings does not have software update option

    I have checked the tutorial to upgrade my ipod 2g from 4.2 to 4.3, but when I go to settings/general, "software update" does not appear as an option.  I am connected to a wi fi area and ported to a computer, still no option...

    Your software version is not up to date, and therefore does not have that in "settings" yet.  You must connect it to your computer and update via iTunes. 
    Your iPod needs iOS 5 or higher, in order to have the software update option in "settings"

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    I do not fully understand you question.  To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
    Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
    The following smple states the following for Contacts:
    iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
    Contacts
    If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).
