Ios7 software update failed on ipad, any ideas how to fix?

I am unable to update my ipad - when I click 'download and install' i get the user agreement which I accept, I then get a message that says "Software Update Failed - An error occured downloading ios 7.1" I had the same issue for ios 7.06. I have tried hard resetting, disconnecting wifi etc.
Model is MC706B/A
Current ios version is 7.0.4 (11B554a)
Any ideas?

Are you trying to update via wifi, or connected to your computer?
If wifi, locate your iPad very close to your router so it doesn't drop wifi, or connect to your computer and update.

  • Itunes update always fails during download - it gets to the last 3 mb or so and hangs until I cancel it.  Any idea how to fix?

    iTunes fails to update.  During download, it gets to last (presunambly) package and hangs at last 3 Mb.  I have left it for days, it won't complete. Any idea how to fix?

    This is a common issue.  Temporarily disable the Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer.

  • My iPod touch is not connecting to iCloud account, under iCloud settings has old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this?

    My iPod touch is not connecting to my iCloud account, under iCloud settings it  has my old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this on the iPod or otherwise? This old account info keeps coming back on my iPod and messing up access to my apple account and now the icloud. last time a system restore needed to be done to fix it....

    It won't give me the option to sign out of the old account, it's that light grey color that you can't click on. And since it has the old email address that it's telling me to go into to verify the account, I can't actually change it... I'm stuck

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update. Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me mad having to put my pass code in all the time and the screen keeps going blank :( HELP!

    My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

    I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
    I've solved it in the following manner(s):
    1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
    2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
    3) Perform any software updates
    I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
    Enjoy.

  • HT1937 My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix this?

    My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix it?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Mail application fails to indicate the number of new messages. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Ever since I upgraded to to OS 10.6, my Mail application fails to indicate the number of new messages. Any ideas how to fix this? It does, indicate how many new messages arrive on my comcast email account. It only fails to indicate the number of new emails arriving in my @mac.com account.  Strangely enough, my devices--iPad and iPhone--indicate the number of new emails arriving in both accounts.

    Thanks.  While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
    it out.  Appreciate the quick response!

    Try reconnecting with App Store to see if there is yet another update available, if yes, update your mac to the latest Apple is offering at the moment.
    As for slow downs and freezes, try these steps:
    1.  Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions then verify / repair disk if needed.
    2.  Next Follow these steps:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Turn on the computer and immediately hold down Command (⌘), Option, P, and R keys simultaneously.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    3.  If all else fails download and run "Onyx" for Mountain Lion.
