  • Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0

    I can't seem to update my iPad mini.  Looks like the release of iOS 7 just came out and it's not letting me update.  I keep getting a message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0".
    Can anyone from apple tell me why I'm getting this message?  And how to resolve it.
    Thanks for any help.

  • An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0.3

    I have an iPad that is currently on iOS 7.0, I am trying to update to 7.0.3 using the OTA update. I keep getting an error reading "Software Update Failed an error occurred downloading iOS 7.0.3" We have 1100 iPad Retinas and I have only seen this problem on 1 iPad.
    These devices came to us pre-enrolled in JAMF's MDM "Casper" using the supervision of apple configurator. These were configurated on a device that we do not have access to and they are set to not allow connection from another Mac so iTunes update is out of the question.
    I have attempted the update on several different networks and still no luck. I know it is not Apples servers this time as it has been weeks since the new OS was released and it hasn't failed on any other devices.
    It goes all the way through the download and then fails when it says "Preparing". Any ideas of something to try?

    Do the update using iTunes on your computer.

  • Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3

    I can not get the phone to update the OS? I tried different wifi points, and still no luck. I tried this at least 6 times with the same result. It looks to download, and then says it is 'preparing' for a while, and then it pukes out the message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3". Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks!

    I've made a blog post on this error "

    very good. You also had posted originally on the Using Apple Support Communities forum (dedicated to "How do I use this forum and find My Stuff in it?"). I had already asked our gracious Hosts to move it to Using iPhone where it now resides and will likely get more prompt attention. In the meantime, you might consider browsing and/or searching Using iPhone for similar issues as your own.
    best luck

    Hi sukhnandan.singh,
    I see that you may be experiencing issues with an attempt to update your iOS device. I have a couple of articles that should be able to provide some insight to this issue.

  • Why I cant update my iPad3 to iOS 6? Its always : "an error occured downloading iOS 6.0.1"

    Why I cant update my iPad3 to ios6? It always says: "an error occured downloading iOS 6.0.1"
    Is this bcoz of wifi connection or what? Ty!

    Did you try updating with the iPad directly?
    You need Wi-Fi connection and power supply from the wall socket.
    Or through the computer iTunes?
    If computer iTunes, make sure your anti-virus and firewall are off before you try.

  • Software Update Failed.  An error occurred downloading iOS 6.

    I have been trying to get the latest software update on my iPhone 4S 16GB for a few days.  All of my apps are closed, iTunes version is current, and no other apps need updating.  I am on WIFI and I just backed up my phone again; however, the software update will not work.  The "estimated time remaining" fluctuates by random amounts as it tries to update as well (it may say 1 minute, then 15 minutes, then 2, then 8 - regardless of what the blue progress bar shows).
    Here is the error message I receive: "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 6."  Throughout the day today, I've also received a message stating, "cannot find update" - or something similar (I can't recall it verbatim).
    What is causing this?  Please help with detailed instructions.  Thank you.

    Same problem...

    Because Apple does not participate in these forums. These are user-to-user forums.

  • Error occurred downloading ios 7.1

    "An error occurred downloading ios 7.1 " I get this error while trying to upgrade to ios 7.1. I have an iPhone 4 with almost a 2 gb free space. My iPhone is not jail broken. My iPhone is also factory activated if that helps. I also got the same error when I was trying to upgrade to ios 7.0.6 but I ignored that. But I'm not ignoring this because it increases performance. Help will be appreciated :)
    P.S. I don't want to upgrade using a computer because I will lose all my apps

    i have the same problem...
    I have an iphone 4s and I have been trying for months to update my phone from iOS 6.1.3 to the new one.
    I recently got a new computer (my old harddrive crashed and will not work at all) and I just now copied all my music and photos to the computer.
    Now I have been trying to update to the iOS 7.1 both on iTunes and on the iPhone but neither one work. I keeps saying "unknown error" .
    I am wondering if I restore it to factory settings and then update it will the install work?
    also since i have backed up to the iCloud and my computer..will i be able to recover my music, contacts, notes and photos???
    thanks in advance.
