HT5567 stuck downloading ios update for ipad 3

My ipad 3 has frozen downloading the new ios update.  It is at the apple screen with an empty progress bar.  When I restart it, all I can do is get back to the apple screen with the empty progress bar.  What else can I do to either stop this update or get my ipad to restart?

  • I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation...

    I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation... What's causing this and how do I fix this?

    What is the latest iOS for iPad 2? Is it iOS 7 or can you update to 8?
    all I remember is that my iPad mini performed poorly under iOS 7. Try to update it to the very latest version. Also you will have to use iOS 8.1.3, because 8.1.2 is no longer signed in case you were trying to install that. You can get the latest IPSW from http://IPSW.me just enter in your device and it will forward you to the right Apple ios download link.
    Another thing is keeping your device memory free, if you have a 16 gig device, it's harder to keep space free. my iPad mini is 16 gig, but all I can ever keep free is 1 GB so I keep it at that. Turn off "iCloud photo sharing beta" and that will help a little bit. also when you do a restore from iTunes, don't restore your backup right away, see how it performs fresh, and then add your apps back in one at a time you might have to sacrifice photos and other personal things for performance.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Problem with downloading iOS 5 for iPad 2

    I face problem while downloading iOS 5.0.1 for iPad 2. First, I have upgraded the latest version of iTune and followed the onscreen instruction for downloading iOS 5.0.1 already. However, when the downloading process continues about half an hour, I get the following message: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I try to verify and see that there is nothing wrong with my network connection. Then what should I do to get iOS 5.0.1?

    Have you a firewall or anti virus software enabled? If so, disable it temporarily.

  • Does this mean that ios 6.0.1 will be the last ios update for ipad 2 and iphone 4s?

    With the release of ios 6.0.2, which is only available for the iphone 5 (and ipad mini) does this mean that ios 6.0.1 will be the last software update for the 4s?

    As that was only a bugfix update specific to those devices, no.

  • Do I have to download another update for iPad Air. I downloaded one last Wednesday. Now cannot stream to Apple TV very well.  Nothing is clear on the blogs or Google.

    I usually stream recorded TV from the FilmOn app. iPad Air 8 to Apple TV. I've had no problems until I downloaded an update as requested last Wednesday.  Now everything starts and stops.  I get a timer bar on the TV as if it is stopping to buffer every 2 or 3 minutes - then it restarts after about 3 minutes. Takes twice as long to watch a programme and very annoying!   Also Skype extremely poor with broken picture and poor sound.  (I am in New Zealand).   I understand the update last week had many bugs. Does another update 8.2 cure last weeks 8.1 ? 
    thanks,
    C.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • Cannot download Pages update for iPad

    I receive the pop up that the Pages update cannot be downloaded at this time. While I am stuck in this 'unable to download' loop, I cannot use the app. How can I cancel this loop and restart the download successfully?

    Have you tried shutting down your iPad & then restarting it? Hold down the sleep/wake button until you get the message asking if you want to shut down & slide to OK. Wait a minute or so & restart the iPad.

  • How to download iOS 6 for iPad 2 .

    Hi - can anyone advise how to update my ipad2 to iOS 6 ?

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • I am getting an error downloading iOS 6 for iPad 2

    What do I need to do for the above scenario?

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

    I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

    If you mean Siri then that is only on the iPad 3, it is not on the iPad 2 in iOS 6 (possibly because the iPad 2 doesn't have the Audience chip which the iPad 3 does). If there are other things that you think are missing (YouTube has been removed, and Passbooks is iPhone and iPod Touch only) ?

  • Download of 8.1.2 update for ipad air 2 consistently fails after 2-3 hours.

    I've made several attempts to download the 8.1.2 update for my ipad air 2.  Past IOS updates for earlier ipads typically took 3-4 hours.  With this update for the new air 2, the estimated time rapidly climbs from 4 hours to 14, then after 2-3 hours the status changes to "processing file", then there's a popup that "an error occurred".  Unfortunately I didn't capture the exact error code.  This has happened 4 times now at different times of different days of the week.  Using the latest version of iTunes (side note - where's help/about for version info?) on Windows 8.1.  Any ideas?  TIA.

    Thanks but that's no help.  I have a relatively high-speed connection.  The 8.1.2 upgrade for our iphones still took 2-3 hours.  The issue with that doesn't seem to be my connection as it's only managing 1/3-1/2 full out.  I suspect any network slowdown is elsewhere.  In any case the estimate seems to be off because the download seems to complete.  At least that's how I interpret the status change from downloading to processing file. THEN the error occurs.
