Software iOS 6.0.1.failed update what to do next
Is your iPad currently running an iOS lower than iOS 5? Did you get an error message with a #?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Cheers, Tom

I have an ipad 3rd gen with ios 5.1.1 and I can not update it to ios 7. It will take 13hours and when I try it stalls out halfway through and says software update failed. I have tried everything. Any help?
it actually needs more space than that. The file size is your 65 mb is probably the ota incremental file size. The full package is 700 mg, and the system needs 3 gig of free space to unpack and install.
There is a fairly good discussion here

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.

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. -
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. -
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)
Model : MD235AE/ADid 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. -

"Software Update Failed: An Error Occurred whilst downloading iOS 7"
I am in South AfricaHey 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.

I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad air and each time I try to download the IOS 8.1 update I get the message "software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8." What is wrong? This problem is ridiculous and frankly annoying. I have a brand new iphone 6 and a 8 month old iPad Air what is the problem
Hi Wingzfan13,

Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3
I can not get the phone to update the OS? I tried different wifi points, and still no luck. I tried this at least 6 times with the same result. It looks to download, and then says it is 'preparing' for a while, and then it pukes out the message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3". Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks!
I've made a blog post on this error "

I am having difficulties in downloading iOS 8.0.2 to my iPhone 4. It is giving me the following message: software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8.0.2. Please help!
very good. You also had posted originally on the Using Apple Support Communities forum (dedicated to "How do I use this forum and find My Stuff in it?"). I had already asked our gracious Hosts to move it to Using iPhone where it now resides and will likely get more prompt attention. In the meantime, you might consider browsing and/or searching Using iPhone for similar issues as your own.
best luck

How to cancel/reset iOS 7 software update that's failed?? Please save my sanity!
I tried to update my iPod touch 5th gneration (32GB) to iOS 7 over the air last night at around 19.00 UK time (from the device itself, rather than via itunes on my PC). This was the second attempt after the first (initiated at about 17.57 UK time) gave me an unsuccessful error message after almost completing the download. But now all I have on the software update screen is the 'less than one minute remaining' message. The cogs are rotating in the little icon window but NOTHING ELSE is happening & I cannot get the updating message off. It is now 15.11 UK time the following day & I'm STILL getting the 'less than one minute remaining' message... this is obviously not the case BUT I cannot seem to find any way whatsover of stopping/cancelling the failed software update.
I've tried everything i can think of: shut wi-fi off, signed out then back in to my itunes account, reset the device (long press of home & sleep buttons), power off then back on, & I am at a total loss & becoming incredibly frustrated.
I've managed to update on my iPhone no problem but my ipod seems to be broke!! Please can anyone out htere help me?!? How do I cancel the failed download or re-set it to d/l again??yes I've done the update OTA but why this screen cant go
it keep asking me to connect to itunes and when connecting the I tunes appear a massage -

Hi there KrisonCastillo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Software Update Failed - An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0 Message.
After retrying 8-10 times, the process seems to be going ahead as it should.
Updating my iPad 3 OTA; past "Downloading" (where previous failures occurred accompanied by the error "Software Update Failed: An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0") and now in final stages of "Preparing Update...". No changes were made to iPad configuration, to network, etc. in between retries.
Also, continually received errors downloading iTunes 11.1 for Windows but after a similar number of retries was successful at this as well.
It would seem that the widespread prognosis of high server load has merit. As in life, a bit of patience applied goes a long way. Keep trying, jackh003; soon the memories of primitive iOS6 will be behind you as you explore iOS 7. -
Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 6.
I have been trying to get the latest software update on my iPhone 4S 16GB for a few days. All of my apps are closed, iTunes version is current, and no other apps need updating. I am on WIFI and I just backed up my phone again; however, the software update will not work. The "estimated time remaining" fluctuates by random amounts as it tries to update as well (it may say 1 minute, then 15 minutes, then 2, then 8 - regardless of what the blue progress bar shows).
Here is the error message I receive: "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 6." Throughout the day today, I've also received a message stating, "cannot find update" - or something similar (I can't recall it verbatim).
What is causing this? Please help with detailed instructions. Thank you.Same problem...
