WHY CAN'T I INSTALL IOS 7.1.1 TO MY IPAD

I already deleted some games so I would be able to instal it. But it keeps saying, Software Update Unavailable. Software Update is not available at this time, try again later. I have been trying for several times but it won't let me. Why?

If you are having issues using OTA (over the air) to update...
Do the Update using iTunes on your Computer.
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Note: The iPad 1 can only go as far as iOS 5.1.1

  • Why can't I install iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5?

    Why can't I install iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5?  When I try to install it, a message says that I need 4.6 GB of storage available to install the update to the operating system, although the specs from Apple state that the update is 957 MB.  I have 1.2 GB available.  Do I have to delete all music (4.6 GB) and some of my apps to install this update?

    If you have a Computer with iTunes you will not need to make that room available.  If you do have to upgrade via WiFi you will have to make nearly as much memory available as it says (a little less typically works).  Any Apps you purchased will be available in the App Store if you go to Update and click on Purchases.  Then you will see all the Apps that you have ever purchased from the App Store and you can download them for free.  With regard to any of you Photos or Music that you may need to delete to make room you will need to ensure that those were already in some Backup at iCloud or on your Computer.  Even though iOS 8 is less than a GB the process of downloading and unpacking and preparing things takes the extra memory. 

  • Can I still install ios 7.1.2 on my ipad 4th via iTunes?

    Can I still install ios 7? I know it's no longer supported but I don't want to put ios 8 on my ipad 4th generation. If possible, can it be done by downloading the .ipsw file and install it via iTunes? Fyi, i missed my lst upgrade from ios 6 to ios 7.
    Please advise.

    No, you can only update to the latest level, iOS 8.1.3, which, by the way, works fine on my iPad 4.

    I finally decided to change my DNS in Network Settings and it worked wonderfully. From what I've read online, it seems to be an issue with some ISP's DNS but not others.  I switched to Google's Public DNS and it updated fine.

    So, the ios 7 is very nice and i like to see, but the 3g switcher is missing, so my baterry is die.... SO help me!!! I want to downgrade ios 6!!!!

    Apple turns off the authentication service for old versions of iOS when the new one is posted.  It is essentially a one way trip when you update from one version to the next.

  • Why can't I install IOS x Lion on Mac RAID?

    I have a Mac Pro, OSX 10.6.8. Four hard drives 6TB in total. 3TB Start Up RAID striped, 3 TB backup Time Machine. I want to install Lion but get the message an error has occured. Any advice please?

    I am not a fan of installing Mac OS X on a RAID. I think you get a better overall performance boost from establishing a Boot Drive, which stops the System from competing with your data reads and writes.
    RAID gets its speed from having the heads sitting right at the next spot to read from, and having the second drive transferring while the first drive is seeking. Mac OS X does a whole lot of "snacking" -- reading (and some writing) smallish bits of stuff from all over the Boot Drive. So it does not really get much of a boost from RAID. And having data and Sytem mixed on the RAID slows down both, because frequent System accesses move the heads away from the data files.

  • Why can't I update IOS 7.0.6 to my ipad 2?

    Everytime I update, it takes about two mintues, then it says "Software Update Failed An erroe occurred downloading IOS 7.0.6". Anyone have any idea to help solve this problem? Thanks!

    Sounds like you've never connected it to your computer before. Anyway, set it up as new, that won't erase content but will actually do a back up and then you can restore from your back up. It won't hurt to do a iCloud back up first though:

  • Why can't i install version 6.0 software on my ipad

    I'm trying to update my iOS software but I'm getting the message that my software is up to date at version 5.1.1, when 6.0 is already out there?

    The original iPad, or iPad 1, does not have enough processor power or memory to run iOS 6 adequately.  Apple said when iOS 6 was released they would not make it available on equipment that would not perform well enough for users.

  • Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
    I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
    I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

  • Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

    Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

    I have the same question.
    IPad Air 2, iOS 8.1.2. I ordered some ebooks that required the download of Adobe Digital Editions. I select the supplied link to the Adobe site, select download, and I am given the option of windows or Mac OS. I wandered through the site and even googled an iOS version with no luck. I thought maybe the Mac OS version might be universal to apple products so I downloaded it and tried to open it in One Note, One Drive, and Google My Drive with no luck. The .dmg file is not recognized. So, I'm back to looking for an iOS version. Is there one?

    Because eight years ago, when Apple developed it, Steve Jobs was adamant that iOS NEVER EVER EVER be compatible with Flash. That... will never change.
    Apple says to use "SkyFire" as your browser if you must view Flash content (which they do not recommend you do with an iPad). It's free in the App Store.

  • Why can't i install ios6  in my ipad2?

    Why can't i install ios6.1.3 in my ipad2?

    What iOS version are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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).
    Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • Why can't I install the latest update?

    Why can't I install the latest update? There is an update available. I'm asked to agree to the terms. I do and nothing happens.

    There are two common reasons why an iPad can't be updated to the latest version of the operating system.
    The most common reason is storage space. You can try to free up space of your iPad.
    The second most common reason is the original iPad. For example, for iPhone, only iPhone 4s and the later can upgrade to iOS 8 and the higher.

  • HT2534 Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

    Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

    Try anything from the 12 Days of Christmas app or any other app from the App Store.
    1. Tap the "Free" button
    2. Tap the "Install App" button
    The button will switch to the "Installing" button quickly and then go back to the "Free" button and thats it.  No workie!
    Can't believe this is broken.
