IOS Update failed on Catalyst C2960S-48LPS-L

Hi Community,
i've got a little problem to update IOS 12.2(55)SE5 on a 2690S-49PLS-L switch
File: c2960s-universalk9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar
why? I took 2 Switches out of the box, one runs IOS 12,2 the other 15.0, stack doesn't work.
tried 3 options to upgrade:
- CNA 6.1: first Upgrade Status "uploading" next Error: failed to upgrade.
- Http/https and IE 11: looks the same, status "Loading to Switch", Error: upgrade was unsuccessful or aborted
- CLI: set first ip ftp username + password, then comand:
switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload ftp://*IP of FTP-Server*/Cisco/c2960s-universalk9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar
Error: Unable to create temp dir "flash:update"
i need some Ideas...
BR
Siggi

Error: Unable to create temp dir "flash:update"
Ok, the error message is very helpful.
To the switch that is exhibiting this error message, run this command: delete /f /r flash:update
Once the command has finished, run the "archive download-sw" again.

IOS updates - fails *EVERY* single time, completely wipes out all apps

Ok, so I'm trying to be calm and collective about this but it will be extremely hard.
I updated the iOS version on my iPad (v1) today to 5.1.1. Since I have had troubles every time I've updated iOS (regardless of device iPod, iPad, iPhone) I made 2 separate backups of my iPad before continuing... and specifically DID NOT CLICK on the "Hey there's a software update for your device" when it popped up when I plugged in the device as my very first experience with updating iOS on the iPad was done this way... and the backup failed, and thus never worked on the install.
So my device has 98% charge, I do 2 separate device backups (just in case)... hold my breath, and manually request an iOS update.
Progress goes smoothly, the device reboots, all looks good... no apps
Ok, not to worry, the update likely just gives me a clean image... (plus my wallpaper)... I'll just restore from 1 of my backups....
Restoring.... Rebooting....
Now its asking me to pick or setup an Apple ID... ok, fine... enter my ID/password.... re-state all my settings for wireless, location settings, iCloud (has always been NO)... and Booted.... STILL NO APPS
Repeated the restore backup process several times with each backup file... no luck... including a few clean reboots just to be sure.
ZIP, Nada, Zilch... All apps, all data, all music, all videos, all games, all game progress... you know... the efforts made over the past 6 months on several "resource management games"... all COMPLETELY GONE!!!
Now I used the feedback option in iTunes to send a similar message directly to them... but shy of a rant here I have no idea what I can do.
If all my data is lost forever... this ABSOLUTELY *****... not just because I lost it right now... but I don't ever want to buy/download another app now... if I know that there is a very, very high probability that I will again completely lose everything in the next iOS update.
So now I seem to have 2 options....
1.) Never update iOS on any device ever again due to fears it will fail and erase everything
2.) Simply shelf the device because I have no faith that I'll be able to maintain the data on it long term
Please tell me there is another option... a manual backup or restore option outside of iTunes.... or a way to look inside a backup file and make sure it really does have all the content you think it should have in it... in it.
I censored myself in this post... but for anyone working at Apple that wants to really understand my "mood" when writing this... insert 2-3 4 letter curse words before every CAPS or bold words... to get an idea of how insanely frustrating this whole process is.

1st off, thanks @turingtest2 I do appreciate your efforts it has helped explain some of this mess.
Well... as much as I'm ashamed to admit it... this does seem to be the case.
So, a "Backup" of an iOS device puts the "settings" back on your PC...
An "OS Upgrade" wipes your device of all content and updates the OS cleanly to the next level
A "Restore from Backup" effectively does next to nothing.... because in order to get all your stuff back... that you "Backed up"... you actually need to re-sync all your Apps, all your music, all your videos etc. manually once your "Backup" is complete.
You also need to figure out which apps were actually on this device because it maintains 1 list per account, not a list per device... thus manual hand picking is required.
Likewise you need to manually re-pick through your music and video collection because these settings too were not "really" backed up.
Seems completely messed up to me that the backup step doesn't save a list of the media (songs/videos) you had on the devices and automatically syncs them when performing a restore. Ditto for apps.
I'm so glad my non-Apple devices don't follow this crazy 1/2 baked backup/restore scheme.
As a software developer myself... there's no way I'd release software this messed up....

IOS update fails (iPad 4) both wirelessly and via iTunes

I bought an iPad 4 for a relative about six months ago. It came with iOS 5.1.1, which was kind of outdated at the time... but that wasn't a big issue since they only wanted to play a few games. Now I'm trying to repurpose it, and for its new purpose I need the iOS to be up to date.
When I go to Settings > General > Update, it indicates that iOS 6.1.3 is available. Trying to download the iOS directly on the iPad over a WiFi network takes about 15 minutes (apparently retrieving the entire file, then "preparing update" for a few seconds), but then results in an error dialog: "Software Update Failed / An error occurred downloading iOS 6.1.3." There's no further information on the failure available on the iPad, as far as I'm aware.
When I plug the iPad into my MacBook Pro running iTunes (ensuring that it is directly plugged into the laptop's own USB port rather than a hub, and that both iTunes and MacOS are fully updated), it shows the device as running iOS 5.1.1, enabling the "Update" button. Clicking the update button downloads "iPad Software Update" which is 1.11Gb. (Which itself is a bit odd; the MacBook's iTunes should have iOS 6.1.3 already downloaded, as my own iPad 4 is running that version. It's the same hardware -- same cellular provider, same version iPad, same amount of memory -- as the iPad I'm trying to repurpose.) When the download completes, it displays an error dialog: "The software for the iPad "[name]" was corrupted during download / Disconnect and reconnect, then try again. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." The iTunes downloads tab shows "err = 1403."
When I plug the iPad into a Windows 7 laptop running iTunes (ensuring that it is directly plugged into the laptop's USB port, and that both iTunes and Windows are fully updated), it shows the device as running iOS 5.1.1., enabling the "update" button. Clicking the update button downloads for about 15 minutes. When the download completes, it displays the same error dialog as the MacBook.
I have a 6.1.3 backup from my other iPad 4, on my MacBook's iTunes. I figured I could restore that backup then reset the iPad to factory settings, yielding a clean 6.1.3 install. But it says the iOS 5.1.1 is "too old" to restore the 6.1.3 backup on top of it. I'm running out of things to try.

no - there is no upgrade available for the version one iPad past IOS 5

IPad automatic iOS update fail

My iPad suddenly shut down and after a while I realized that it was updating to iOS 7 although I didn't touch anything that had to do with updates. It's not synchronized to a computer and there are lots of apps and important files so I can't restore it. Is there a way to get out of the shiv to iTunes screen without any of my data getting erased?

The update 6.0.1 is cursed, i stopped getting signal afterwards, dont know what to tell you go to expresslane drop them an email ...

IOS Update via Device Manager - 2960 S and X Series Succeed, Others Fail

Hello,
I am doing a round of IOS updates on a small LAN with a mix of 2960, 2960S, and 2960X switches. I have been using the built-in Device Manager, selecting the Software Upgrade option on the toolbar. So far the 'S' and 'X' series switches have upgraded successfully. The 2960 (WS-C2960-24TC-L) series have thus far all failed.
With this failing switch type I select the appropriate .tar, as usual, click the Upgrade button, and wait. In every case the process hangs at step 1. 'Loading the tar file to the switch'. I am trying to upgrade this failing switch type to 15.0.2-SE7. The switches to be upgraded are currently at firmware versions ranging from 12.2.(50)SE1 to 12.2(55)SE7.
Is anyone aware of any known issues with this series of switches that may cause IOS upgrades to hang in this fashion?
Thank You,

IOS 4.3.5 update failed (persistent error 1602) - Apple's Support steps don't work

Hi guys,
So I seem to be having very bad luck with my iPod Touch, 4th Gen. What happened this time is pretty much what happened when I tried to update to 4.3.4, as described in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3179905
So I got an error 1602 this time, I followed all the steps you find in the apple support page (ie, unninstalling and reinstalling everything in a particular order), only to have my iPod bricked once again. The computer doesn't recognize it at all, iTunes doesn't either. Entering DFU mode does nothing.
Last time, the solution was to connect my iPod to a friend's computer, and it restored it, then it worked again on my computer. But I'm not willing to keep asking that friend to use her computer just to restore my iPod after every iOS update, that's just unreasonable.
I'm hoping someone can help me find the better solution this time, so here are my logs:

Still getting "Software Update Failed" when attempting to download iOS 7 on iPhone 4S.

I've tried countless times now to download iOS 7 on my 4S which is currently running iOS 6.1.3. It downloads completely then in the "Preparing Update..." stage it gives me an error box saying "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0." The same thing happens every time, I've rebooted and reset my pone several times as well as logging in an out of my Apple ID all with no success. It's not like it takes an unusual amount of time downloading or anything, and once it finishes downloading it shows less storage in the "About" section in "Settings" but goes back to where it was once it gives the error message. Just a note, I was able to download iOS 7 on my iPad 3 the day the software was released without a long waiting period or any hassle. I appreciate any input. Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I have 16.5 GB of available space at the moment. I've tried it connected to a wall charger and connected to my wifi, my schools wifi, and my gyms wifi all with no success. I have not tried it from iTunes but after posting this question a few suggestioned discussions came up, one of which recommended backing up to iCloud or iTune and then performing a complete restore. I'm in the process of doing that now, whether it works or doesn't work I will get back to either way. Thanks again.

HT5622 Actually um trying to update new iOS 7 for my iphone 4 but when i press the button to install new software suddenly it appears why " iOs 7 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet " even my phone is already connected

hie there Actually um trying to update new iOS 7 for my iphone 4 but when i press the button to install new software suddenly it appears why " iOs 7 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet " even my phone is already connected to net

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

When trying to download the IOS 7.1.1 update I continue to get a message that the update failed? Please advise!

When trying to download the ISO 7.1.1 update, my iPad goes through the downloading process and then goes to the preparing mode and after a while returns a message that the "Software Update Failed, an error occurred downloading IOS 7.1.1 ." Any suggestions?

Make sure anti-virus and other security software is disabled.
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

IPad Mini - IOS 8.1.3 update failing

iPad Mini is failing to update to IOS 8.1.3.
It is reaching the Updating Firmware stage and then returns an error, " Update of your iPad failed due to unknown error " (6).
When I reconnect it to iTunes it asks me to recover and it again is failing to recover to Factory settings.

Hey there Haparari,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPad is in recovery mode after running into an issue updating it to the latest version of iOS with iTunes on your computer. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll generally resolve that specific alert message that you’re seeing.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Ciao,

Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0

I can't seem to update my iPad mini. Looks like the release of iOS 7 just came out and it's not letting me update. I keep getting a message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0".
Can anyone from apple tell me why I'm getting this message? And how to resolve it.
Thanks for any help.

The entire planet Earth is trying to download the same thing at the same time.
Give it some time.

I've been trying for 2 weeks to update my iPhone 4S (7.0.6) to iOS 7.1 OTA but it fails all the time...telling me software update failed..I need some support pls!!

The problem occurres after the downloading is complete and when its in "Preparing Update" procedure and specfically in its last progress (near the end). Suddenly a message pop ups saying that "Software Update Failed" \n "An error occured downloading iOS 7.1."
I've restarted the update process for the 20 th time!!! and reset my iphone twice to factory settings, but still nothing change, same error occures...
My iPhone specs
Version : 7.0.6 (11B651)

Did it work for you with iTunes?
I have the same problem with my iPad mini. I have done almost all updates of my iOS devices OTA.
I never update issues before.
Also iPad 2 and iPhone 5 just worked fine.
Only now my iPad mini struggles with the update. Did a factory reset too.
And now have iOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on an iPad Model MD543FD/A.
World prefer OTA instead of iTunes.
Thank you for any help.

Try updating by using iTunes via a computer.

Hey there,
As Sneaky_Mouse suggested the best option is atm iTunes. Servers are probably going crayze.
If you cannot do it like that as well you can look for an iOS 7 ipsw (image file) and then, hold down either Option or Shift (on a Mac or Windows PC) and click Update; this will allow you to select the ipsw image.
