I just replaced my s4 with a s4 which is purchased. It has come with version 5.0.1. Some of my apps I have used in the past say my device is not compatible. At least one says I have to have at least 6.0 installed. How do I go frojm 5.01 to something higher. My settings say device is up to date.

As far as I can tell 5.0.1 was the last official release for the S4, so it's probably correct when it says it's up to date. Though I've not gone through all of the many models of S4, as there are too many: if you can tell us which model you have it will be easier to be definitive.
It may be that there are custom ROMs based on later Android versions (though not necessarily using the Samsung user interface). So if you are willing to get into rooting and modifying the phone there may be options.
