Update software from 4 to 5 ios\

My Ipad is running version 4.3.3.
I do not have a tab "Software Updates" in the General Settings section.
I have tried to connect with Itunes on my PC, and look for software updates, but it never offers them. I can't find them and under "Devices", it also does not offer the option to update software.
I have disabled my Firewall as well, as one comment suggests, but still not luck.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

  • HT1338 how to update software from 10.5 to 10.7?

    how to update software from 10.5 to 10.7?

    You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, and phone them and order a download code for Mac OS X 10.7. Mac OS X 10.7 requires a Mac with a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM.

    You would have to purchase a retail Leopard installer DVD. Since they are difficult to find you may need to search on eBay, Amazon.com, and Google to find a suitable copy.
    If you have an Intel iMac, then you may want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard which you can purchase at any Apple retailer for $29.00 versus the minimum price of $129.00 for Leopard.
    Leopard System requirements
    You must have a Macintosh computer with:
    an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
    a DVD drive >built-in FireWire
    at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
    a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    And, you could also upgrade to Lion by purchasing the Apple USB Lion flash drive installer for $69.00.
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Hi Terrie ..
    The first gen iPad can only be updated as far as iOS 5.1.1

  • I want to update software from ios5.0 to 8.0 or better?

    I want to upgrade from IOS 5.1.1 to IOS 7.0 or better.

    If you have an original iPad, you cannot update. That is the latest iOS your device will run. If you connect your device to iTunes and check for update and it says your software is up to date, then that is what it is.

  • How do I restore without updating software from 1.2.1. to 1.3

    Here's my dilema, and hopfully someone can advise how to fix it:
    I have a Pioneer AVH-P5900DVD (car stereo) and it is compatible with iPod's, which have software version 1.2.1., but no higher.
    I have a 5th gen iPod which had version 1.2.1., but I accidentally updated the software via iTunes to 1.3. Now the iPod wont work with the car stereo.
    I couldn't find out how to downgrade the software from 1.3 to 1.2.1., so I managed to find a 2nd hand 5th gen ipod on eBay, which had 1.2.1. When I connected it to iTunes to transfer my music onto it, it stated that its formatted for Mac, rather than Windows, so I had to re-format the drive. iTunes then stated that I need to restore the iPod, and when I do this, it will only let me restore it with the latest version of the software (1.3). I do not want to do this.
    I found the software folders in my computer, and it seems that the earliest version i have is 1.2.3, and iTunes did give me the option of retoring with this version. But it wont work with my Pioneer stereo, which will only work with 1.2.1. or earlier.
    So, I either need to:
    1) downgrade my original iPod from 1.3. to 1.2.1.
    2) restore my new iPod (which has 1.2.1. installed), without updating to 1.3
    3) find and download the software files for 1.2.1. from the web, but I cant find them. They should be called: -
    iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw
    iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw.signature
    If I managed to get hold of these, I could add them to my computer, then iTunes should allow me to choose 1.2.1. as a restore version on my new iPod.
    If anyone knows the solutions for 1 or 2, or where I can get the above mentioned files, please let me know.
    [email protected]
    Thanks

    I managed to find the .ipsw files on an old laptop, which enabled me to restore both ipods to 1.2.1.
    Problem solved.

  • Cannot update software from version 1.0 after factory reset

    Just did a factory reset on my first generation, year old, perfectly working AppleTV. Then wanted to update the software from ver. 1.0 to current. For two day now, when choosing "update software' the response is that newer software is available but the download spins and spins with nothing happening. Seems like the network connection must be good or there wouldn't be knowledge that newer version exist. Eventually a message states that the software is not available now try late. As I said, I have been trying for 2 days. What's up with this?

    Self-repaired! It was appear that the quality of reception of the ATV is problem because it cannot hold a connection long enough to download the software. I took an 11n airport express which extends my airport network and plugged the ATV to in by Ethernet. Result. ATV showed up on iTunes. Upgrade to 2.2 downloaded. And since I only stream, the system seems faster and more solid, so far. Amazing.
