Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, select your device and select Summary from the sidebar, then use the Update button at the top. Be sure you can upgrade:


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.
