Updating IOS5 - Why dont i have the option in my settings?????
I am trying to update my iphone 4 with the IOS5 update and its just not happening grrr. After finally finding a program to transfer my music, etc off my phone to my pc i tried to do it through itunes but it keeps timing out, over and over again. So I have now gone to the apple site to find a way - it says you can do it through your phone using the 'Software Update' option in your Settings on your phone. However, I DON'T HAVE THE 'SOFTWARE UPDATE ' option in my settings - its just not there!!!! This is so incredibly frustrating. Why is it not there?????
Someone please help . . . . this is so frustrating!
Thanks in advance

No, I have ios 4.3. Im trying to update to ios 5. As mentioned, The timing out is when I connect my iphone to my pc and try to download ios5 through ITUNES - its just keeps timing out (when it gets to about 34minutes) with an error message. Which from what ive googled is common. But how do you get around that.
Disable your antivirus and firewall software. If you are running Kaspersky, you may need to remove it entirely. It can interfere with the update process.
Yes I synced this phone long ago but have no program to transfer music 'from the iphone to the pc'. From what ive been told in the past you are unable to do it. Well, until I found a program for it. Is there an apple program to do this???
No. There is no Apple software that will do this. Music purchased from iTunes can be transferred using File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes on the PC. Anything else had to be synced from a PC to the phone to begin with. You should have those files already. If the computer they were on crashed, was destroyed, etc. then you shoud have a backup of that computer. Backups are the responsibility of the user. The iPhone is not a backup device.
If the music in question came from a comptuter that you do not own, and you do not have the originals of the music (audio CDs, etc), then you have no legal right to have the music in the first place. Copying someone else's music is theft.
The music is not copied from someone elses computer. It's mine I purchased from itunes directly to my phone. (off topic).
Im running Avira antivirus and im extremely hesitant to disable this and use the internet - in the past I have had computers crash from Trojans trying this technique.
Good job Apple!!! Not!

Why don't have the MAC computers a hard video card????.....in this case all of my friends buy PC....Because they can buy a PC with 2 GB video card
It partly has to do with form factor. To get a Mac Mini, iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air as slim as they are, the video is always integrated into the main board. Windows laptops are the same way for the same reason. They aren't designed to have a video card that can be swapped out.
The only way to buy a Mac with an actual card is the Mac Pro, where you currently have a choice of the ATI Radeon HD 5770, or an upgrade to the 5870.
Most PCs are towers, which by design always use a video card, so you can choose pretty much whatever you want to stick in it. More than that, PCs still use plain ol' BIOS, which greatly increases the choices of cards available.
Mac Pros don't have that luxury. Video cards for the Mac need Mac firmware on them to be recognized during startup by Open Firmware in older Macs, and EFI in newer Macs. While it's the same PCI 2.x slot, you can't just slap any video card you want in there. -

Why dont I have the pet eye function in the red ey removal tool?
I saw the tutorial regarding pet eye removal. That tool does not show up when I go to the red eye removal tool.
Hi,
If you select the Red Eye tool in version 12, the Pet eye should be a tool option at the bottom.
Is it not there?

I am used to firefox restoring my previous session if I get a computer crash or the computer reboots when MS Update runs. But this computer always starts a new session. Why? I have the option checked to restore previous session under General tab "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
I suspect this is because when FF launches I am not using the :default: session but I pick from a list.
If this is the case, how to I make my picked session the default one?
It is very annoying not having FF recover all my previously opened tabs. Other computers that I have these feature works fineHi phg728

Purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) ON DISK.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen? I was of the impression that this issue will be fixed with updates. Please see the screenshot.
Hello Beardsell,
This is when the phone is unlocked mode. My snapshot is when the phone is locked.
Remember when you get a call when the phone is locked and you used to have slide to answer in iOS 6 and if you slide up you would have options to reject, reject with a message and reject with a reminder. We dont have that in iOS 7. iOS 7 *****, I cannot get back to iOS6, apple needs to be user friendly. Screen shot 1 when the phone is locked, screenshot 2 when the phone is unlocked. -

HT4972 why dont I have an update facility on my ipad
Why dont I have an update facility on my ipad
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

How to install iOS 6
http://www.macworld.com/article/2010061/hands-on-with-ios-6-installation.html
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 antivirus 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 7.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.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
Cheers, Tom
