Ios 8 download error 2006 on iPhone 5

I am writing this 5 days after the release of ios 8. I have tried to download it about 30 times so far and I keep getting hit with the same errors.
1. Software Requested
You will be notified when it is ready to download.....
2. Update Failed
Your device failed to update
3. Error 2006 (only when downloading from the computer)
Update failed because of an unknown error (2006)
I have restarted both my iphone 5 and my mac (27 inch imac) multiple times.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think I found a solution. Try updating from your phone, then plug it into the computer while it is trying to update on your phone and update there too on itunes. That worked for me.

FW update error 2006 on iPhone 3.0 GM

Hi everybody,
I've a serious problem with iPhone firmware update. I've a iPhone 3G with original developer OS 3.0 GM and it's never cracked.
When I've installed MacOs 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.3 last version I began to get the first problems with FW update, in fact the process is locked with error 2006 and I cannot update versions upper to my 3.0 GM.
I tried to change cable, computer (MacPro with MacBook Pro) but the problem is same. There are not other usb devices connect to Mac. I'd like update my mobile to 3.1.3 FW version, How I do?
Thank you in advance,
Antonio

HT1491 Download Error iTunes on iPhone 4s

I purchased an album from iTunes on my iPhone4s. It won't downland. I keep getting an error message. WHY???

If you haven't already done so then try the 'standard' troubleshooting :
- log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back and see if it then works
- disconnect and reconnect to your network
- do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear (you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot).
- close the iTunes store app via the multotasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.

IOS 8 update via OTA bricked my iPhone 4s. Error 2006

iOS 8 update via OTA bricked my iPhone 4s. Error 2006
Done a update on my iPhone 4s 64GB phone. done it over the air then comes up in recovery mode. so plugged in iTunes (most up today on a macbook pro) downloaded IOS8 again then when i do a restore it comes up with the error message "The iPhone "IPhone" could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (2006)
Computer: macbook pro 15" mid 2012
2nd computer: just been rebuild with windows 7 on it all up today and latest iTunes,
Cable: 3nd Party
Cable: Apples down brand only 2 days old as bought this one for in the office, (and seems to work with backing up my iPhone on to my macbook pro)
also restarted the machines and checked again for any updates nothing els plugged in to any of the laptops and it makes no change still get the same error message.
anyone have any clue what is going on.
also i have never called my iPhone "iPhone" (from the error message) must of been a bad install of ios8 (OTA) to bring that name up.

My Iphone 5 got stuck right after I installed iOS8 also. Mine would not let me past the Hello page. I had an iCloud backup, so this is what I did.
Downloaded iOS 7.1.2 to my computer. http://www.iclarified.com/750/where-to-download-iphone-firmware-files-from
Restored My iPhone using iTunes.
-Launch iTunes
-Plug phone into computer and hold down the sleep button and wake button on your phone until it shows iTunes restore
-Hold Shift in windows 7 while you click restore in iTunes
This will erase everything on your phone and install a fresh version of 7.1.2
I had an icloud backup so I applied that to get all my files and settings back. (you can not apply a backup from iOS7 onto iOS8 so that is why I did everything above)
I then tried to install the iOS8 update from iTunes instead of over the air. No luck there either.
I guess I will stick with iOS7 untill the next build.
I hope this helps. Remember if you do not have a backup that includes all your pictures and such don't do this Because all will be lost.
Has anyone else got iOS8 installed just to get stuck on the Hello page?

If one is downloading directly to the iPhone via WiFi, it doesn't matter what version of iTunes is on the computer.
I decided to sync my phone to Outlook via iTunes. First thing, iTunes discovered that 7.0.3 was not on my phone. It asked if i wanted to install it. I said, "yes", and VOILA!! 7.0.3 is now installed on my iPhone.
So therein is the answer. Have no idea what bug is in there to keep it from loading to some phones directly via WiFi, but obviously, it is something!!
There is no bug. While you can update your iOS via wi-fi, it's recommended to do so via USB & iTunes. Depending on your wi-fi connection & singal strength, you can get errors. That's not a function specifically of the device.

Hook your device up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do the download through iTunes.

Podcast Download Error, Tap to retry @ wifi, Ios 8.2, Iphone 5s

Hi all,
I'm Iphone 5s user, with IOS 8.2.
No files are able to be downloaded nor played from Podcast with wifi. When I turn on the LTE, and then it starts to download, which is weird. The error message appears under wifi environment, like this, "Download Error. Tap to retry".
So, it seems the PodCast won't let me download anything with wifi, but only with LTE. Is it a problem what others are struggling with? Would there be any solution for this?

I am googling this like mad with no succinct fix or answer. Do you think apple can do something server side to permanently delete these five songs from the download queue. They must be the cause for the phone always asking for my apple id on every restart. Signing in makes them
vanish but as I mentioned if I don't sign in when it prompts me in restart they remain in the queue. It's really annoying. I
hope a future 8.0.1 update may reset this but I can't be certain it will. I am sure erase all settings and restoring backup may eradicate this too but this a long and painful option. I am sure the problem started with a restore anyway as post ios 8 I fid restore from
backup after a sync mess up. The process took forever and I tevkon certain songs got stuck during restore. I wish it didn't try and download them
sll back in at once. I did cancel the restore after a long while as it was quicker to individually download songs at my own leisure. I'd like to avoid trying another restore as it will be a huge data usage and lengthy process just to try and remove this issur

iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

ITunes Store App - iPhone, "Download Error Tap to Retry"

New iphone 5S, iTunes Store App
At one point during a sync a lot of my music did not end up on the iPhone. I was on a road trip and wanted the music so I clicked "Download All" on my favorite playlist. For whatever reason 652 songs would not download, saying "Download Error. Tap to retry." I have since gotten home, sync'd and all those songs are now on the phone but the 652 songs remain in the Downloads part of the iTunes Store app with the same error (Download Error. Tap to retry."
I can't get them to go away, does anyone know how I can delete the download attempts?
Thanks.

Hi there zblom,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

ITunes Match song download error on iPhone

All songs matched or uploaded sucessfully.
I've tried to download just 1 playlist after enabling match on my iPhone 4, but 3 songs are stuck in download queue in iTunes (phone).
They say 'download error, tap to try again'
When I tap the progress bar shoots up really fast then at processing they fail.
Anyone any ideas?

The only way that worked for me was deleting the songs in iTunes (both iCloud and Mac while keeping the files). Then updating iTunes Match. Next, drag and drop the album back to iTunes and update Match.
Next, on iPhone, the only way that worked to download them is to actually playback each song in the album NOT "download all" button or even individual download button. If I use the buttons, it downloads part of the song then I get the error message or it stops midway and you can't delete the song from the download queue. Again, the only way that worked for my iPhone was to playback each song without skipping any of them and they easily downloaded on my phone. Hope this helps
PS: The check downloads on iTunes did nothing to me as it never showed the iOS queue items, only my undownloaded purchases from iTunes Store.
