HT6598 Update to ios 8.1.2 requires a billion GB of space and when I finally managed to clear enough it fails without telling me why.
STupid update has been staring me in the face for months, telling me it needs 6.2 GB of space to install when its only 1.4 GB large. After I finally remove almost half of my stuff I have the space required and I click install. The installation keeps failing without telling me why. Just a bloody popup telling me that it failed. Tried connecting to charger, tried rebooting. Nothing works.
Feel lucky. Lot of people are having wifi problems with 8.x.
You should try to update from iTunes. iTunes requires less space on your machine for the update.

I was updating my IOS in iTunes. It was taking over 2 hours and when I came back, there was a symbol on the iPad showing a USB plug pointing to an iTunes icon. When I unplug the iPad from my PC, it goes blank and won't respond.
The restore is not completed. You will have to re-try the restore process again.
Try using this link to re-iniiate the restore.

Cannot update my phone as message comes through "updating to iOS 7.0.4 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available"
What media sync options? Where are they ? How do I change them?Afraid, this doesnt help. I've already unselected about 100 iTunes, resynced, and I still get the same message about 610 MB needing to be deleted.
What is so magic about 610 MB as a number?
Is this anything to do with iCloud? I was on the free 20 MB offeruntil last month and then got downgraded to 5 because I could n't see the need for paying for extra Cloud space. Is this the reason why? -
HT1386 "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media..." Why?
My daughter has a 4th gen ipod touch, still on iOS 4.3.5. It wasn't updated for such a long time because I had a space shortage on the computer on which it was always updated. I've recently increased the size of C: so now I could proceed to back up all the kids' ipods and bring them up to the latest OS.
I backed it up and Synced onto the computer that it has always been backed up to. When I try to update it, it gives me this warning:
"Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purcahses. on your iPod touch. To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos."
This *really is* the computer on which all the backups and syncs had been done, but I think that I may have corrupted the apple files when I copied the image of the old C: drive onto the new hard disk.
The other two kids' ipod touches updated without any problems. This third one, however has the warning above.
How do I fix this problem?
By the way: Quad core PC with 4GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, and iTunes 11.1.4.62.
Thanks.Do the followings to not lose anything. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

After updating to ios 7, I am now asked to enter my password continuously when accessing my emails on outlook web access. Before I just had to log in and I was able to reply, save emails, etc without re entering my password. How do I fix this?
Similar thing is happening to a relative.
He upgraded his iPhone 5 and lost his iCloud account and all his email accounts. Major pain in the neck for a senior. And it was not a user error...unless you count the fact that he hit the upgrade button. -
After I downloaded the update of iOS 8.1.3,I was unable to install it and I see "an error occurred installing iOS 8.1.3"what can I do?
Hi Josephineapo,
If you are trying to update your iPhone over-the-air rather than through iTunes, and you are having issues with installing it, then I'd like you to please follow the steps outlined below.
If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
Update does not complete
If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.

I updated to IOS 8 but my C drive is out of space i couldn't restore my data back; how could move itunes with backup to another drive
or what could i doThere are two solutions . . . I run my iTunes Library off an external hard drive. However, this may limit the portability of your library. Though a La Cie Rugged external would help with that (I love mine, though I use it for diagnostics and repair, not for iTunes--but it does get around).
You can also upgrade your hard drive as was previously suggested. I've bought my recent hardware from: http://www.powerbookmedic.com
They have lots of parts and great manuals!
Good luck!

HI!, When updating to ios 7, my airport does not function in my ipad and iphone. No icon appears ...I´ve check I´ve got last firmware on aiport utility, and also I´ve restart both devices... buth still not working
Restart your AirPort Base Station or other router if that's what you have. Unplug it and allow a moment or two for it to reset before plugging it back in again.
If that does not work, try resetting your network settings: on the iPad and iPhone, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, select your network then "Forget this Network". Select the network again, provide its password, and verify you can connect.
If that does not work, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Select your network again as above.
If that does not work, "hard reset" your AirPort Base Station, assuming you are using one and not some third party product. You will need to reconfigure it using AirPort Utility. -
I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?
To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device. -
Since the update to iOS 7.0.2 I have only access to my email when there is a new massage. As as massages have been read my name turns light gray and I cannot access my email anymore. I have 2 other email addresses and they work properly.
I am in the same predicament...any resolve? Other than possibly taking it into the shop?

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.

You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it. -
I am unable to update an app, Chirps! USA. I have tried both wireless and when connected to the computer. I contacted the company and they said it was an iTunes problem. ANy suggestions?
Hi..
Delete the app then reinstall.
Hold the app icon down until all the apps jiggle then tap the x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once or twice to stop the jiggling.
Then go to the iTunes store and re download the app.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
That should download the most recent version including whatever update was available.
You won't be charged again. -
Update for iOS 8.1.2 requires 5.6 GB on iPhone 5S?
I'm currently running iOS 7.1.2 on my iPhone 5S and my iPad 2.
Is that 5.6 GB number really correct? That's pretty big on a 16 GB phone. Since my total user storage shows 12 GB, is iOS 7 consuming the bulk of that 4 GN difference, and I'll get that back after the installation? Or will the OS consume that 4 GB plus the 5.6 GB it's telling me it needs for a total of 9.6 GB out of the total 16 GB? That's 60% of the total. That sounds like a huge chunk to me.
Curiously, my iPad 2 was only telling me that I needed 2.4 GB. Is iOS 8.1.2 twice as big for the 5S phone as it is for the iPad 2
What's the story here?1. Yes. It accounts for both the compressed and decompressed versions of the update.
2. Most of the space required will be free once the update is complete. If desired, update it from iTunes on the computer; most of the temporary files will be stored there instead of on the device.
