Hi, juelzbing.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the best troubleshooting resources to go through when experiencing issues updating your iOS device over-the-air.
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4431
You most likely will need to update your device on another Wi-Fi network or via iTunes on a computer. I understand that you do not have iTunes or a computer; however, you can use any iTunes and computer. Make sure to backup your device.
Update your device using iTunes
If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
If you see an error message while updating your device, you can learn how to resolve iOS update errors in iTunes.

Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

HT1620 I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad. It takes between 6-8 hours to download and after about 4-5 hours it send me an error message and cannot download. How can I delete this downloa? it will not let me download any apps

I have been trying to download iOS 6.1 on my ipad. After its been downloading for about 4 hours, I receive a message that there is an error and cannot download. How can I delete this download from my settings? I tried downloading other apps, but it will not let me unless I download iOS 6.1

What iOS are you currently running?
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.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

How to install iOS 6

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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).

Try shutting off by holding down the home and power button at the same time. Once turned back on you can try downloading again. Be sure you have at least 50% of battery life before starting.

Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

If the iPad is running iOS 7 and the kid set up Find My IPad, then you can't restore it without the kid's Apple ID and password. The Activation Lock is a feature that people whined and whined to get, and is causing exactly the sort of problems many of us predicted when people were clamoring for it. If you can't get the kid's Apple ID, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask if they have any sort of workaround. My guess is that they'll have to replace the iPad, but they may have a solution they don't talk about publicly.
This won't help for iPads currently locked for which you can't get the Apple ID, but if before you give out iPads to your students you go into the Restrictions and disallow changes to the accounts, they can't then turn in Find My iPad. Or you can set up Find My iPad yourselves to your own accounts and then lock the Restrictions so they can't set iCloud up to an account to which you don't have the Apple ID.
Regards.

Unable to download iOS 8.0.2 on iPad mini

hi, this is the first time I've posted so let me know if I'm missing anything Please...
when i I try to download iOS 8.0.2 I tap agree to terms and conditions and nothing happens, I then can't even press disagree so I have to just close that page manually or I can't get out of it. I see that other people have had this problem, I have tried two suggestions in the forum; turning off and on again, and, resetting all settings, neither worked. I contacted the apple support online but they wanted me to purchase the support (I don't want to pay when their product won't download their update) so I'm hoping someone can help me here please.
thank you

HT4623 Downloaded iOS 5 and now my iPad apps flash but don't load when I click on them.

Downloaded iOS 5 to my iPad and none of my apps don't work except FB and Internet.

That did it, Oxy. Thank you so much for the fast reply! Just a quick question if you return to this thread: Is that a new feature or something I didn't notice before that mistakenly got selected?
I'll browse through the options to see if there is anything else new.
