Re: [iPad] 16 failed iOS 8 update attempts

 

Have you done a hard restart? (Hold down Home and Sleep button till Apple logo appears)
 
May be worthwhile to make nsure all apps are updated on the iPad just to get a full, clean start.

Subject: [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.

Bobby
