My phone is iPhone4S, why can't I update for it to iOS 6.0.1?

There are plenty of apps still compatible with iOS 4.2.1. Not a majority, necessarily, but they're still out there. If the app you want requires a newer version, find another app the accomplishes the same thing.
Of course, it may be too late for that now, since you chose to hack/jailbreak your iPhone, and it is currently a brick. As varjak paw stated, this forum will not help you with your hacked phone.

If it's an iPad 1, then you cannot. See:
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

HT4972 why can't I update my ipad to ios 4.3

I have an ipad model A1219 with ios 4.2.1 and would like to update to 4.3 to be able to install certain apps. Itunes is indicating there are no updates available at the moment. Does that mean that I can't do the update and that I'll have to stay with this ios?
Thank you very much for your help.

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).

HT4972 Why can't I update my iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5?

I tried to update my iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5 or the current version. It wouldn't let me
update, and said that iOs 4.2.1 is the current firmware. I want to update the iOS to at least 4.3 , 5 , or 6 for games and other apps. Please show me step-by-step on how to solve this situation in your answer box.

There are actually a lot of games which are compatible with your older device which runs iOS 4.2.1. You just need a tool to separate them from the incompatible apps.
Here is my favorite solution:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
And here are some things other people have suggested:
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Why can't I update my iPad to iOS 5?

Hey. I have a 1st generation iPad that is currently running iOS 4.3.3. I have leopard 10.5.8 (yeah, I know. I'm out of date ) and every time I want to update to iOS 5, iTunes tells me that my iPad is not eligible for the requested build. Please Help!

Well, I ordered Snow Leopard so I can download Lion in the App Store and. It should be coming tomorrow. I tried to find other tips on how to fix this problem and alot of them said to use "recboot" in the process. That obviously did not work. I will hi=opefully be able to update when I get Lion.
Thank You!!

HT4972 Why can't I update my iPad to iOS 5

I have tried and tried to update my software but consistently experience error messages like iOS 4.3 required or even iOS 5 required. I don't understand wats wrong. Help please.....

What happens when you try ?
To update from iOS 4, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). 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'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

I have 19GB of storage. Why can't I update my iPad to IOS 8 when I only need 4.4 GB of storage?

I Have 19GB of storage and only need 4.4 GB to update to iOS 8. It still says I only have 4.9 GB and won't let me update the software. Why?

Do you have that 19 gigs on your device (Settings>General>Usage) or is it iCloud space? You need local space to upgrade.

Why can't i update my iPod to iOS 5 it says can't connect to iTunes update server?

ios 5 is supposed to be released today but i keep getting the message saying cant connect to update server?

Thinking seems to be 10:00 am Pacific time...should still be able to connect to the 4.3 update, but maybe they have taken that down in anticipation.
You do need iTunes 10.5 for the iOS 5 update, so have you installed that?

If you were using WiFi, try using iTunes, and if you were using iTunes, try using WiFi. If you are using iTunes, try disabling your firewall and antivirus software. If you are getting a specific error message, post it. The more information you provide, the easier it might be to help.
Provide some context, explain what happens when you try to update.
