IOS 7 Update Stalling

I have an iPad 2. 
I downloaded & installed the iOS 7 update.
It took a little more than an hour.
Then it says: UPDATE WILL INSTALL IN 5... 4... 3... etc.
Then it says: VERIFYING UPDATE
Then it says:
SOFTWARE UPDATE UNAVAILABLE-Software Update is unavailable at this time.
Try again later-OK.
This has happened FIVE TIMES IN A ROW, now. 
*** is going on?

... annnd of course AS SOON AS I open my big yap, the verification process went through,
and after about 15 minutes or so, iOS 7 is now on my iPad 2!!
In fact, I'm writing this right now on it, and I must say it looks absolutely GORGEOUS!
It really is just like having a new iPad!
I cannot for the life of me see what all of the moaning & the complaining by the
so-called "pundits" is based on.
Mr. Ive's done a superbly marvelous job!
And to all in the same boat as me: they're right -- it's gonna take a few minutes.
But, eventually, it WILL download!
And it should go a little bit faster now, since I'm off the list!  lol

    That is an incorrect assumption.
    Device not detected in iTunes

  • IOS Update stalled during install...should I reboot?

    Doing a required update to the software on my mac mini (so I could then update the ios on my iphone4s)  seems that the update stalled during the 'installing files' step.  Should I power off and try again?  Help...

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Ios 5 Update New Features says that iCal now has a week view for iPhone but after updating last weekend, I don't see any week view--just List, Day and Month..How do I get the week view?

    ios 5 Update New Features says that calendar now has a week view but after updating my iPhone 4 last weekend, I don't see any week view for iCal--just List, Day and Month as in the past. Is the weekly view available for iCal and if so, how do I access it?

    Rotate your phone to landscape.

  • Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

    My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car.  Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player.  I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have.  Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would love to see an update on issues like this.
    I have the pioneer avh-3400bh.  Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should.  Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information.  Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control.  the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything.  Same for the pandora app

  • After IOS 8 update.

    Hello,
    My Mobile details.
    Phone: I phone 4S - 8GB
    OS: IOS 8 Updated on 20th Sep 14
    After updating below problems.
    1. While trying to add call to existing call (Trying to make con call) I can go to contact but when tried to search the names the key board appears with a blank white space without keys.
         Con Call is difficult to make
    2. While trying to make call, It takes almost 1 second to go to call screen after tap on number.
    3. Top Message bar( Battery indicator, signal strength) goes black some times. only on coming back to home screen it come back.
    4. While searching the contacts, the last bottom contact remains down only, it doesn't come up even after moving it.
         In IOS 7 it use to come up.
    it feels irritated due to above glitch.

    I tried all of the suggested solutions mentioned in this thread, and finally did a full reset according to Apple's instructions, step by step (as an engineer and 40 year computer user I am good at that stuff).
    Sorry to say after the several hour process, not one of the problems I have experienced have been solved. 
    IPad 2 is still running slow and choppy.
    Some Apps do not even load.
    Website pages will not load and result in error messages. One particularly annoying Safari error on loading a new web page is:  "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded".
    MY iPad  2 worked perfectly for the last couple of years through several updates that performed seamlessly, but this one and the two most recent corrected updates have rendered my iPad so degraded that I don't think I will be using it much anymore. I originally bought the tablet because of it's smooth GUI and fast performance, the reliability and error free environment, and Apple's proven record for effective updates. That's all gone now.

  • After ios 8 update on ipad mini. None of my apps connect to app store for in app purchases.

    In app purchases worked before ios 8 update was installed on ipad mini. Restrictions are turned off. Can login to app store and purchase and download apps. Can't do in app purchases. Anybody else have this problem?

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

  • After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

    As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app.  I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
    Soft reset ipad
    Hard reset ipad
    logout of itune store and login
    delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
    All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again.  This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote.  My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it.  For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8. 

    You are not alone. Here's one thread
    Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
    If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.

  • After iOS 8 update, iBooks and Frequent locations.

    So after the iOS 8 update I noticed iBooks taking up space up to 6MB when I do not have any iBooks. Also I noticed freque

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

    After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    The Superhero

  • After ios 8 update has anyones ipad started randomly selecting everything? Even after ios 8.0.1 update it has still continued to do the same thing.

    After ios 8 update has anyones ipad started randomly selecting everything? Even after ios 8.0.1 update it has still continued to do the same thing making it immpossible to use ipad anymore. Has anyone had the same problem and/or knows how to fix this?

    Try a Reboot pess & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data This may help but the ipad 2 is a bit under powered for iOS 8 If you can a very good buy now is the iPad Air 32G Since they brought the new one out the price for this model Has come down by £120.00 That's the one I am using and it works great on iOS 8.1 Bsydd uk

  • After ios 8 update ipad began to crash

    after ios 8 update apps been crashing and ipad began rebooting by it self it use to do it when first updated to ios 7 until the bug fix update was sent out what to do

    Similar problem too with iPad 2. After updating it just continues to search and won't connect to 3G (verizon). I spent 5 hours at the local apple store and they couldn't solve the problem. There was another person there too with the exact same problem with an iPad 2 and they couldn't fix it either.
    After all of this time they had no solution except to buy a new iPad ....... unbelievable. The issue is not a coincidence and it is obviously due to the software update. Apple's arrogance to openly address and fix the issue is astounding. Very poor customer service for a company that is supposed to be so progressive.

  • Lost messages after ios 8 update

    Hi,
    After the ios 8 update, I appear to have lost many text messages from my history (and attached photos).  So far, they seem to be non-Apple, non-iMessage contacts.
    Does anyone have a solution to recover them?
    Thanks,
    Ray
