Several ways:

1) Wired Reflexes (cyber or bio-equivalent)
2) Magic enchancement
3) Combat Drugs
4) Spending a point of Edge

I'm sure that some addtiional info will come on this, but in a nutshell, those are the ways to increase your IP.
Tarantula
synaptic boosters, move by wire, going into VR (cold or hot sim), submersed technomancer with biowire and acceleration, increased reflexes spell, improved reflexes adept power.

I think thats about it.
paws2sky
Astral projection too.

In addition to all that has been said, i'd like to add the simsense booster implant, posession by a spirit and infection with some strains of the HMHV virus.
Combat drugs that provide additional IPs are cram, jazz, kamikaze and K-10.

Various critters, all spirits and AIs have additional passes as well.

These increases tend not to be cumulative and unless it is explicitly noted, nothing gives you more than 4 IPs (and in the rare cases where you get a fifth one, it applies only in VR).

Question on that: a technomancer with the Overclocking echo (+1 Initiative Pass in VR) on cram. Still limited to four passes, right? I just ask because I've recently kicked a Dissonant's ass when he interfered with our job, but there's every chance we'll see him again and I need to know.
Tarantula
Yes, still limited to 4 passes.

cram cannot boost him to 5 passes, but there is an additional technomancer echo that can give him a 5th initiative pass in VR. there is also a piece of tech that can do the same for hackers who have a simsense booster, so the number of IPs shouldn't be a concern really... it's far easier for a hacker to get 5 than it is for a technomancer.

Don't forget that you can spend Edge to get initiative passes.

but those still max out at 4, right?
Tarantula
Yes, one extra pass up to 4 tops.
hobgoblin
except for a VR only TM echo, as it explicitly states that its a exception from the rule...
