There is no option to update IOS on my iphone 4 in general settings?

can not find in general settings about software or an option to upgrade IOS. can not see anywhere on the phone what IOS it is on.

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.

That's because you've never installed iOS 5 or 6

HT204204 i cannot update my iPad because there is no option of update in my ipad

I cannot update my iPad because there is no option of update on my iPad

If you are really running iOS 4 there would not be that option, it was added in iOS 5. Connect your iPad to your computer and update it in iTunes.

I have an iPhone 4S running software 5.1 (9B179) and cannot sync the photos in PhotoStream with iPhoto '11 v 9.2.1 (628). There's no option to update iPhoto and no option of PhotoStream (which is enabled on my phone). Can anyone help?

Thanks, Peter.
The "link related" and "text related" crashes were what I interpretted here, too, though I'm at a loss on how to proceed given that this is a fresh system and applications. This is happening with multiple InDesign projects in a design office environment where many others work on the same files and none of the other computers are having problems with these files. I've removed the same files listed (thank you for those) before and did so effectively with creating the new user account to test with, but it had no effect. I just tried again though, as these files could easily have becone corrupt again if they were being written to when InDesign crashed. Will let you know if that makes any difference. I've also gone through and completely cleaned out the fonts again and once more cleared the font caches. If need be I'll reboot this system into safe mode and try that way.
Best,
Mike

YOU ARE IN RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Please let me know how I can return to the original look and feel of the iPhone surface I bought my phone for.

You had plenty of time to look at screenshots on the internet and read various blog posts about iOS 7.

I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4. I am currently running ios 4. I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

Do just like the diagram indicates: connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes on the computer and then restore.

HT4972 After I've updated IOS in my iphone, all the applications, musics are gone. How do get everything back? Thank you.

Plug it into iTunes, Control-click on the iPod in the left frame and select "Restore from backup." Should put it back like new.

After update iOS 5.1 iPhone 4 camera on lock screen doesn't open the app

Tonebox,
I couldn't get my camera to work smoothly
the 1st ten times,or so,I tried to open it.
As it turns out,it isn't as pressure sensitive as I have
grown accustomed to, and required a gesture that feels
rather awkward, by comparison to the ones I have been using.

After updating iOS 7 my iPhone 5 is not able to find my BOSE music system Bluetooth. Kindly help

After updating iOS 7 my iPhone 5 and 4S is not able to find my BOSE music system Bluetooth. However, my iPad can identify. How to solve this issue?

Try resetting network settings at Settings > General > Reset.
This will erase all saved wi-fi networks and settings for all previously connected wi-fi networks along with erasing all paired Bluetooth devices.

After downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps.

after downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps. help

I'm having the same problems. Can't even find out if Apple is working on it. Tried to downgrade but is not supported by apple so error 3194 comes up which is verifying with the apple web site. Which then stops everything. I understand you can modify the "hosts" file to by pass the issue, but hate doing that as it gets involved. May try it if I can't get any satisfaction from apple.
