Why won't iOS 8 download on my iPhone?

For the past few days I've been trying to download the new operating software (iOS 8.0) on my iPhone 5, but I keep getting an error message message. When I try to download the software, it says "Downloading", followed right away by "Update Requested... Your software update request has been received. You will be notified when the update has been downloaded and is ready to install." That message stays there between 10-30 minutes (every attempt to download the software had different timing). Finally, a message pops up stating, "Software Update Failed". (See screenshots attached below in chronological order.)
Before suggesting solutions, know that I've eliminated the following as possible reasons for the issue: 1) I've let my phone die / restart before attempting installations. 2) I've plugged the phone into power and been connected to wifi during every installation attempt. 3) I have 10 GB available on my iPhone, so there's definitely enough space for the download and installation to take place. 4) I've plugged my iPhone into my computer (iTunes) and attempted to update the software via the computer. Spoiler: It still didn't work.
Fingers crossed that I can resolve this without having to go down to the Apple Store Genius Bar for help!

Same issue here. You'd figure that after a week of it being available they'd would out the kinks in their system. I've tried over the air, through iTunes, wirelessly (sic) through my home network, wired...disabled security and firewalls...all to no avail. Don't know what gives.

Why won't iOS 7 install on my iPhone 4S

Why won't it install?

Each step involved in updating to/installing iOS7 requires communication with Apple Servers. They are currently being accessed by millions. Please be patient and just keep trying. Or wait till the traffic on them has dropped.

Why won't iOS 6 download on my iPad?

iOS 6 has just come out and I have tied to download it from my iPad. When I download it get to about 15% and then it says there was an error so it can't download. Does anyone know what I can do? Oh by the way it is the new iPad.

I'm hoping someone here can assist me as well... Neither my iPhone 4S nor my iPad 2 are even giving me the option to update to iOS 6. Both devices state:
iOS5.1.1
Your software is up to date
I've shutdown, reset, etc. and still there is nothing referencing the new iOS. I don't think I'd be so bothered if it were just one device, but again, neither of my devices have the option.
Would anyone happen to know why that may be? Any help you can provide would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
Best regards!

Why won't you enable downloading photo from iPhone

I think it's annoying that every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac iPhoto pops up, and the worse thing is that I can't just download photos straight from the the phone to the computer.
So why do you make it so hard to drag photos from the phone to the iPhoto library?

think it's annoying that every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac iPhoto pops up,
iPhoto Preference -> General -> Connecting Camera opens... and select your preferred option
and the worse thing is that I can't just download photos straight from the the phone to the computer.
Have you tried Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)?
Who are the "you" you think you're talking to?

Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810?

Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810? I got a message saying that the camera model is not supported by installed version of camera raw. How do I fix it?

Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
You can re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
My opinion on this....from the Photoshop Elements perspective...
Nikon D810 is supported by Camera Raw 8.6 and higher (latest version of Camera Raw is 8.7)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
At the same time, the Camera Raw version needs to be supported by the Photoshop Elements version.
Photoshop Elements 12 appears to support Camera Raw up to 8.5 which does not support the Nikon D810.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Solution...
a. switch to Photoshop Elements 13 (comes with Camera Raw 8.6 and can be updated to 8.7).
b. use the DNG Converter in Photoshop Elements 12

I am sorry but that comany has both Windows and Mac versions. And no where in the OPs first post does it say I am certain I have the Mac version.
Other then that I don't understand what your problem is with my post. Just trying to help as you are and really don't need your sarcasm on a Saturday morning.
Thanks.

Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?

why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.

I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5. All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play. I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device. I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch. After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

Already downloaded iTunes 10.5, why won't ios 5 update appear?

Following what most people posted in the discussion boards, I updated my iTunes to the 10.5 so that the ios 5 update for my iphone would appear. However, when I plug in my iPhone and click on Check for Updates, it says my phone is up to date with itunes 4.2.1 and to check for updates in a week. How can I get the new software update today?? (btw I have the iphone 3gs)

Like i mentioned above, when I do that it says "This version of the iPhone software (4.2.1) is the current version" and to check again on 10/20/11
