TS3274 For my older ipad, no SOFTWARE UPDATE option is available to upgrade to ios5. How do I do it?
On the GENERAL tab, there is ABOUT, SOUNDS, NETWORK....etc. but no SOFTWARE UPDATE on the help screens I've found. How can I upgrade to ios5?
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...

i dont have the 'software update' option in my iphone 4 menu so how do I update the IOS?
If you never upgraded to iOS5 then you won't have the option to upgrade your phone "over the air". To do an upgrade, connect your phone to iTunes and select the phone on the left menu bar. You will see an option on the main page to Check for Update. Select that and your phone will update to iOS6.
It is recommended that you do a full backup of your phone before you begin the upgrade process.
Hope this helps.

HT4623 Cannot update iOS software on iPad no software update option
Cannot update iOS software on iPad no software update option
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.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

PS BE 8.00c Rev 2 Software Update Option Not Available
Despite being logged in with Full Admin rights, PS BE 8.00c has the "Software Update" option (Tools > Options > Software Update) grayed out. Additionally, the Help > Check for Updates... method results in nothing happening.
I am unable to apply the Rev 2 hot fix and unfortunately, need to prepare mailings that use the sortations addressed by said fix.
Please offer advice.James,
I would suggest checking out the knowledge base note - 1309275 - Troubleshooting issues with the Automatic Update feature - Business Edition/DeskTop Mailer. In this note you will find references on fixes if you have issues with Auto Update. To access the knowledge base go to the SAP website - http://service.sap.com click on Help & Support. You will see the option to search for notes. There is a place to enter a note number where you can put the number I listed above.
Also if you have a firewall you would want to be sure to allow the software access through the firewall. This can be done by allowing DTM32.exe (for DeskTop Mailer) or BUS32.exe (for Business Edition) as a trusted application.
There are other fixes also if that doesn't help listed in the KB article I mentioned above.
Thanks,

My first gen iPad does not offer the software update option on the general settings page. How do I update without this selection
That only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, 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'.
You can 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.

I'd like to update the ISO 4.2.1 on an old iPod Touch to ISO 7. Can't find "Software Update" option under General Setting. Where might I look for the option to slightly upgrade the ISO for this device?
You likely have a 2G iPod and those can go higher than 4.2.1
A 3G can go to 5.1.1
IA 4G, with cameras can go to iOS 6.1.6.
The 5G, also with cameras can go to iOS 8
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10 or higher. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

- A 4G to 6.1.6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

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).
