"Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6."

I tried to update my iphone 4 through my settings and got the error "Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6." This is not the first time that happens. I got the same error in the last 3 ios updates. The only way that I found to solve was to update by itunes, but as we have the option to update through iphone, I want to do that.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem will be most appreciated.

In the last 3 ios updates I had to use itunes because through the settings I always get the same error message. The point is that I don't want to use the itunes. I want apple to fix the problem (as I can see I'm not the only one having problem). I have 2 friends that did the update in the same time that I was trying to do, and for both them it worked.

    If you did the update through iTunes, try going into the Settings App on your iPhone and doing the Software Update in there. The same thing happened to me, and the wireless update worked.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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'M TRYING TO UPDATE TO IOS 6 BUT I KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE sOFTWARE UPDATE fAILED: AN ERROR OCCURRED DOWNLOADING IOS 6

    I Tried for three days to download iOS 6 and kept getting error 1403. I finally went to the apple store and they couldn't figure it out either.
      I finally got it to download and all I did different from the other 100 times was I went into settings and on the Bluetooth setting I put NO.  Not sure if that's what did it but that was the only thing different that I did.

  • Software update failed An error occured downloading iOS 8.0

    I still trying to update my iPhone5S and iPhone4S but to no avail
    What to do after receiving error messages:
    A. via mobile:
    "Software update failed
    An error occurred downloading iOS 8.0"
    B. via iTunes...won't even proceed... saying my connection Timed out
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone*** 's 
    The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network settings are correct
    and your network connection is active, or try again later."
    Note:
    - My connection was working perfectly well during those numerous attempts (probably more than 50 times).
    - iPad was updated after 7 attempts
    Question:
    How can I update the  2 iPhone?
    How can I proceed?

    There is no such thing as an iPhone 's3'.  There is a 3G which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 and a 3GS which can be updated to iOS 6.1.3.

  • Software Update Failed: An Error Occured Downloading iOS5.1

    I have issues installing the new OS since it was launch 3/7... Tried both on my iPhone4s and iPad2 directly on the device via OTA, but received the error message multiple times. No luck and tried to install directly on my iTunes with the new version 10.6 using my MacBook Pro.
    But today, I tried not to use my router (wifi) and just connected the LAN directly to my MBP over iTunes first with my iPhone and it works... Downloaded ios5.1 at 800MB though and installed it to my iPad2 successfully.
    I guess the issue is not with Apple but with some IP issues over my ISP or something to do with my router. Hope this will help.
    Again, download and install iOS5.1 over iTunes without the wifi connection.
    Enjoy iOS5.1 guys!

    Many thanks... this solved the problem straight way
