TS3274 How can i update to ios5 when settings doesnt show update software option
How can i update to ios5 or better when settings does not show software update option....and it wont update thru my pc itunes?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I think you may need to place the iPad in Recovery Mode within iTunes in order to restore the device. Read this for the instructions.

HT1414 how can I update software on an old ipod?
Hey Guys,
How can I update software on an old iPod touch? I currently cant download any apps etc as im too out of date ;-(
Thanks for your help ;-)I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes

How can I update software on iPhone 3g from ios 3.1.3 to ios 4?
Recently been given an iPhone 3g. I had to restore the phone to sync to my iTunes. Now a lot of apps will not download as I need at least iOS 4 but the phone is iOS 3. iTunes tells me that this is the latest software for this model when I check for updates. Is there anyway to update to iOS 4?
The iPhone in question, iPhone 3g is running software version ios 3.1.3, my current iTunes is running 10.6.3. How can I update the software on said iPhone to iOS 4 from 3.1.3 if iTunes informs me that the current software is up to date.
The iPhone has pretty much been rendered useless as I can not download majority of apps. Therefore it just works as a pretty basic phone. -
My imac is 10.5.8 how can I update software, because I can't get into itunes anymore
I am running 10.5.8
I am now booted out of iTunes because I need the latest iTunes version, but when i try to downlaod that, I am told my software version will not support my itunes version. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. How can I move up from 10.5.8?Start by checking if you cn run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard. -

How can I update software on iMac not connected to Internet
I recently gave my old iMac to my parents, and they don't currently have internet access.
Is there a way I can somehow get software and security updates installed? Was thinking maybe downloading on my computer without installing, then taking them on a flash drive to install on the non-connected computer, or something along those lines. Or maybe there's another way to obtain the updates...?First, you need to know what you need. And somehow you will have to get your parents' Mac connected to find out what they need.
Then you can download individual updates from Apple Support. Click on View All Support Downloads in the upper right corner.
Word of caution: you don't need to constantly update the machine, in fact it's better if you don't, esp. if the machine is working properly. Check a couple of times a year; decide whether or not you really need the updates. Apply only what you need. If you poke around the forums you will discover that a lot of people cause themselves their own problems by doing automatic updates and/or not researching the update(s) first, and/or not thinking through what they're doing. -

Did you place the iPod in Recovery mode like I said in my first reply?
If that does not work, place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

How can I update the thumbnails in the slide panel when a slide has been changed?
When the text in a slide has been changed, how can you update the thumbnail in the slide panel to reflect this change?
We translated slides, but the slides in the slide panel are still in English.
Thanks for your help.the slides should update automatically as you type
are you using a theme you created yourself, or one you have added for this show?
when you play the show, does the slides show correctly? If they are OK you could still show the presentation.
also what Mac are you using and what graphic crd is installed? -
