[iPad] 16 failed iOS 8 update attempts

 

I give up and will not waste anymore time on trying to update my 3rd gen iPad with 16 GB RAM and Verizon capable data.  


I have tried updating via iTunes on my iMac and also over WIFI.  I have received different error messages including that my network was not working but it was and is. I have Verizon FiOS as my network provider so my network download speed exceeds 30Mbps.


My first attempt to upgrade using iTunes I saw a message that it would take 116 hours (not a typo).  Most attempts after that were in the 30 and 40 hour range with a few in the 50's. Over WIFI the estimated times ranged from the 50's to the 70's.  Received "timed out messages."


I did remove all sorts of apps that I want to keep and do use.  My last few attempts I had over 6GB of free space available.


Probably needless to say that I am frustrated and aggravated.


My iPhone 5 was updated with no problems using iTunes but it did have to run over night.


That is my rant for today.  Thanks for letting me vent.
