Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT4623 My iPod Touch does not have "software update" button - what to do?

Wanted to download Google App but was told I needed iOS 5.1 or above
I currently have iOS 4.2.1 (8C148)
The website for iPod Touch says go to Settings/General/Download Software but there is no such button.
My Model Nr is MB531BT
I have about 145MB left - is that enough?

No.
Looks like yours could be a 2nd Gen... If so... iOS 4,2,1 is as far as it can go
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3382586?start=0&tstart=0
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it...
if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

Hi, my ipod does not have software update and on itunes it says chack for update but says ipod is up to date

Hi my ipod does not have software update on settings and on itunes it is up to date please give solutions

Thanks. I have been looking for this information for hours too. You answered my question in your list. I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch and last updated to iOS 4.2.1. Now many of the games are obsolete after being updated. I wish I hadn't updated them now, and I would still have play available. It's sad in this economy that I'll have to purchase a new iPod touch just to play a few simple games. I haven't even had it three years yet. That's what I get for not waiting a few months for the next generation. That's a nice little marketing tactic from Apple .

HT4623 how about updating an older ipod which does not offer "software update" as a choice when one taps on General under Settings?

Unless you have a 2nd generation iPod Touch, in which case 4.2.1 is the highest possible.

My iPad does not have Software Update option? How do I update to higher versions???

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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).

The update to iOS 5.0 & higher is an erase/restore deal, so make sure you follow the directions here to update your phone:

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.

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.

HT4623 my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings General Software Update

my iphone 3g does not have software update..... Go to Settings > General > Software Update ...... NOT THERE

No. It doesn't. That is only present if you are already running iOS 5 or higher.
Since the iPhone 3G can NOT run anything higher than 4.2.1, you will never see it on that phone.

What if iphone 4 does not have software update

Is the Software Update button not there at all? If it is not there, than you may want to update on your computer with iTunes. What version do you have of iOS anyway?
