Is an iOS 8 update downloaded in iTunes for one device applicable to other devices?

I am updating to iOS 8 and have many iOS devices. If I download an update for one in iTunes, can I also use that download for the other devices or I have to download an update for each device? Thanks.

IIf all of your devices are the same, you don't. But even iPhone 5s with different carrier may need different software.

In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

Short :
In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
Detailed:
We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
Thanks in advance.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

I have problem downloading the itunes for mac and safari says it needs to send the form again.

Hello There,
I have been facing this problem for a while. Once I download the ITunes for my Mac the safari says the following:
Are you sure you want to send a form again?
To reopen this page Safari must resend a form. This might result in duplicate purchases, comments, or other actions.
I need help ASAP.
Thanks,

Podcasts App in iOS not Downloading New Episodes for Some Podcasts

I am running version 2.2 (740) of the podcasts app in iOS 8.0.2
Some of my podcasts are no longer updating, while some continue to work normally.
If I navigate to My Podcasts > [Podcast Name] and then go into the feed tab, I cannot see any new episodes. However, If I unsubscribe and delete the podcast, then go search for it, I can see the new episodes. From here, I can even download individual episodes, but I cannot subscribe to the podcast. For some reason, the purple 'SUBSCRIBE' button does nothing when I tap it.
Is there a way to reset the Podcasts app? Do I need to hard reset the phone?
Thanks!

Since no help was coming from Apple, I decided to try uninstalling 11.1.0.126 and then re-install the newly released version of iTunes for Windows, 11.1.1.11.
The Refresh button now seems to work, and new podcast are being downloaded.

Itunes ipod updates download then itunes states no updates

Hello;
i get notices of app updates on itunes - and prefer to do them from there as i have a faster connection to download them. the updates download fine.. than after the download is complete - before the install - the screen displays a message
<my email> has no updates available pls check... for updates.. (sorry lost the whole message) - and it cancels the updates.
I log in w/ my login (which is a mac.com account thats inactive but was assured by apple that the email is only being used as my user id - and that my proper email (the one in the message) is being used for contacts/ invoices etc (and i do get the invoices to proper email).
i am completely confused -- i have no idea how to get it to do the updates.... if i go back to the apps section it now shows no updates available...
any ideas? the issue pre dates the latest itunes update and pre dates the latest ios update.

Check your sync settings to make sure you are syncing all songs in your library, and not just certain playlists.
You might also double-check that all of the songs are in a format that is compatible with iPods (probably MP3 or AAC).

IOS Update - Download now and install later?

When I was offered the newest iOS 5.0.1 update, I was also offered to only download it and not (yet?) update my iPhone. After all, it takes a while during which I can't use the phone.
So I thought it would be a good idea to just do the download (75 minutes!) and update my iPhone later.
However, when I came back today, I was offered an iTunes update. Okay.
Later today I connected my iPhone to the computer and clicked "update", but the previously downloaded iOS update was gone. Download started again. What did I do wrong? Or - what is a download-only function good for, if I can't continue later?
Cheers
Hinrich

What are we talking about, an OS upgrade (like to Mavericks?)
Yes you can download and quite the installer. It will be located in your application folder.

Have you tried restarting your iPhone?
Are you using the cable that came with the iPhone? Try disconnecting the cable and reconnecting it to your Mac and your iPhone, don't plug it into a keyboard or hard drive.
If that doesn't fix it, follow along with this Apple article -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

IOS update error through iTunes. error-3259

while updating ios via iTunes after some time i get the error - 3259 and couldn't download update message receives. Please help me in this.

I have an iPhone 6, my MacBook's software is current and updated, and when I tried to run the 8.3 software update on my iPhone it prompted me with a black screen, iTunes logo, and the power cord. I plugged my device into the laptop's USB and have it connected to a power source and is on my wifi. The iTunes "update" says it will take 27 hours and is continually stopping every 20 minutes or so giving me error code 1671. I click through all the prompts and it picks up where it left off. I too can not use my phone and am hoping there is a quicker way to update. Anyone else having this issue?

The iOS update methods I use for error free updates

I hope this helps some folks. I am not saying this is the 100% tried and true method but I have upgraded quite a few iPhones and never experienced an error or issue upgrading the software when following below method.
1) If iOS 4 or greater, double-tap Home button to bring up running app list and hold first app to get jiggling and kill all apps one at a time until task bar is blank.
2) Put iPhone into Airplane mode. (this will ensure that an incoming phone call, text message or push message won't interrupt the update)
3) Do a graceful power-off by holding Top sleep button until red "slide to power off" then slide to power phone off and allow phone to fully shut down.
4) Now press and hold Top sleep button and Home button at same time and continue holding both. The phone will begin to boot and you will see Apple logo but while continuing to hold both buttons the Apple logo will eventually go away and phone will seem to power back off but KEEP HOLDING BOTH BUTTONS and phone will power up again and Apple logo will popup again. KEEP HOLDING BOTH BUTTONS and phone will power down for good this time. When you release both buttons the phone should stay powered off. If phone begins to boot/power up when releasing buttons, you have not held them long enough. (Note: This power off/reboot sequence is very handy to remember for when your iPhone starts acting weird.)
5) Press Top sleep button to turn phone back ON.
6) Hook to your computer and Sync with iTunes and also create a Backup of phone in iTunes.
7) Now update your phone with the iOS update and it should run smoothly.
Thanks goes out to "TITNTUFF" for suggesting the Airplane Mode.

The method i use is this, every new update apple comes out with, i always DFU mode my iphone, and do a clean install of the iOS. This to ensure that I don't get any problems when updating my iphone. I have done this all previous models and never had any issues.
DFU will take some time but for me it's worth it. Airplane mode is a good way to this.
