iOS 6 problems downloading discussed
Apple’s updated mobile operating system iOS 6 was finally released to the public today and millions of people have been eagerly waiting and checking their update buttons all day. iOS 6 is now live but as with most iOS upgrades some people are having problems downloading it and it’s likely that some of these issues are to do with the Apple servers being bashed. We’d like to hear from you as to whether you have already successfully received iOS 6 or whether you are one of many who are having problems.
Based on previous iOS release patterns we were expecting iOS 6 to go live at around 10am PT, that’s 6pm UK time and we also gave readers some tips for preparing for iOS 6 along with details on new features and improvements. As we anticipated, iOS 6 did indeed go live promptly and straight away of course that means the servers are already having the life beaten out of them.
We always advise users to perhaps wait until the day after an iOS update goes live to download it, (basically because we usually hear that everyone trying all at once is making things difficult). Another benefit of this is that if there are any major issues with the new iOS you can avoid being affected. However we couldn’t resist hitting the update button as soon as the iOS 6 became available just to try and beat the hordes (some chance)!
On my iPhone 4S I was immediately informed that iOS 6 was available and ready to download and install. I hastily connected to a power supply and hit the download button and pleasingly the downloading bar appeared. I then busied myself with other things for 10 minutes and came back, only to see it now read “13 hours remaining.” Of course I somehow doubt that it will take 13 hours but the message was a little alarming. I’ll check back on that in a bit and let you know what’s happening.
A quick look on the MacRumors forums shows a thread discussing the iOS 6 download and it seems like some users are still being told they have the current iOS version when in fact they’re still using 5.1.1. Other users also say their phones are showing download times of several hours. Some have managed the download but are having difficulty with ‘preparing for update,’ while others were onto the installing stage but have seen the install fail. Many iOS device users seem to have their fingers crossed.
Very few people report actually having iOS 6 up and running but those that do say it all went fairly smoothly. We’d really like to hear from you about your success…or not… with the iOS 6 download. Have you encountered any difficulties? Let us know what kinds of problems you’re having and it’s always interesting to hear your location too. Maybe you’re one of the fortunate ones who updated smoothly and quickly or maybe you’re pulling your hair out? Let us know by sending your comments.
P.S. My download now reads 12 minutes remaining, a little quicker than 13 hours but we’ll see how it progresses from here.

Download and install by 10:05 am PST – no issues at all!
IOS 6 downloaded nicely..
Photostream says UPDATE – I updated and it still says UPDATE
–
Lock screen picture will not hold – resorting back to basic battery image on black background
Saw the download was available at about 1 pm EST for my 4s, I can’t even get it to give me an “Estimated time remaining” before it says there is an error and cancels the download. I’m thinking my best bet is to wait a day or 2 until the number of downloads slows down a bit.
how to deal with 12 hours remaining issue?
Hit the update button at 10:05 and right now, about an hour later, iOS 6 is being installed. Felt like preparing the update for installation took longer than actually downloading it.
Downloading…44 minutes remaining. It’s been this way for about 15 mins now. I’ve noticed the download times fluctuate between 1hr to 44 mins to 12 mins, to 29 mins. There’s no consistency in the estimated timing. I suspect this is due to the sheer number of people downloading at the same time.
said download was complete but all i get is a screen with the itunes logo and a picture of the usb charger ?? Any Help….
All downloaded fine here.
Looking good!
I have started my update about an hour ago. Have completed 200MB and is going on smoothly.
downloaded in less than 10 mins, but hanging on updating for 20+ mins, unsure what to do, as it when through one progress bar, and the second one hasn’t moved…ironically just blazed through second bar while writing that line, and entered gray iOS6 welcome and password screen.
Got mine being downloaded, 2 hours remaining….It’s going just fine. 🙂
Downloaded and installed on 4s, no major problems, just had to delete email account and set it up again.
tried to download install it via iTune. In the final stage of the upgrade, iTune says the update has failed for an unknown reason. Now I have this iTune icon and the USB plug icon on my 4S screen, and nothing is moving. I rebooted the computer and iTune and still it doesn’t recognize the iPhone. So i am in the limbo and don’t know how to get my phone back.
Same for me… Now what???? restore to default factory? hell no
I have the same screen on my ipad 2 ??
Same thing happened to me. I restored to factory settings. Then Itunes said this computer has synced with an iphone before do I want to restore from backup. Now I’m doing that and it says 40 minutes remaining.
Fourth try downloading to iPad…currently says I have 4 minutes remaining..smh
Got it!!! Paul, UK
Safari has disapperd off my 4s download was fine took about 30 min
Cant upgrade from ios 6.0 beta 3 to ios 6.0 final. It show’s that it’s current version of ios…
Having the same problem…
same problem
Did you try restoring ?
im downloading it now estimated time is 8 hours but then when i clicked the button general and go back again to the software update button it shows estimating time remaining is it NORMAL?
Downloaded it on my iPad and everything was fine on that. However, at the same time I downloaded it on my iPhone 4 and the preparing for update hasn’t changed. Kind of wish I waited til tomorrow on my iPhone.
Happy to see the new IOS I connected my 4s and was told my backup could not complete because it was corrupt or incompatible. I changed it to back up to icloud which worked and the software started the download,about 10 minutes. Now I have tried 5 times and itunes extracts my software on my iphone then goes back to telling me to upgrade software.
I had problems with the reboot process waited for 30 min, I just did a soft boot on the phone and did a clean install, now reinstalling all my apps now. seems to have worked with a soft reboot, nothing lost.
Restarting now
I found if you open Passbook and hit the App Store button on the bottom it says can’t connect to ITunes Store, even after hard reset. Anyone else expericing the same issue?
Having same problem! Ugh
same here!
yes I am…. I called apple and they have no fix for it as of yet….
I have downloaded it! Left my phone at the stage it said the phone will restart came back to the phone and it will now not turn on!!!!
Interesting…now iPad says Preparing Update 1:43 CDT…Guess we’ll see how long that takes…smh. Well at least I won’t upgrade my 4s until midnight tonight just to be certain that I don’t have any detrimental hiccups on the phone. whew!
downloading went ok. BUT the BBC news App doesn’t like it and crashes out when you try to post a story to your Twitter feed.
Same problem here. It would share to facebook and email but crashed with Twitter share.
Was able to download with no problems started at 1 pm eastern in DC took a about 8 minutes.
Mine downloaded in just over 30 mins. but i cant connect to app store after download
Downloaded onto my 4, now the camera no longer works *sad face*
My 4-S worked fine
I am having same problem instead it works but i lost all of my photos
You always lose pictures when updating to a new iOS
No you don’t, you shouldn’t!
Did you back them up on iCloud ? Also it can take a while if you have a lot of photos I’ve got just over 1000 and it took about 5 minutes to sync them all.
The update made all my apps disappear at once but they still say they are installed
i m in india using iphone-4 and maps application is horrible…all wrong places and i dnt understand why apple opted to create its own maps instead of using google maps…also passbook app is not working..
My maps app seems accurate but when I click on any of the items in Passbook nothing happens. when I click on “app store” (in the Passbook app), I get “cannot connect to ITunes Store.” I’m connect with 3G right now as I am unable to connect to my home wifi network since this upgrade. Still, I think I should be able to access iTunes Store via 3G.
Halfway in the restart process
downloaded but several updates did not come through or do not work such as Passbook
same here
downloaded onto my ipad and iphone, all went well, thank you apple xx
Pressed the update button on my iPhone 4 16 GB and update said that I needed 2.5 GB of free storage to complete the update. I only have a little over 2 GB free now so I guess I have to wait until tonight when I can plug into my MacBook Pro at home to get the upgrade. I hope all goes well.
iPad finished DL about 15 min ago but is still “Preparing Update…” iPhone updating through iTunes seems to be going ok so far.
after several attempts and even getting it to download, I have opened itunes and see if I can do it that way, it looks a little more promising that the update button on the iPhone
I tried to update on my Iphone but it said error. Hooked it up to itunes and it said error again. My iphone4s went into recovery mode so it said I had to restore to factory settings. Now I’m restoring from backup with an estimating 34 minutes remaining.
downloaded easily and quickly at about 12:30 central, but passbook will not open (says “can not connect to itunes store
4S through itunes
its ryt at the end of the download bar and it been almost 20 mins and nothing has happen and i have it ryt next to my wifi hub
Mine downloaded and installed with no problems. I was plugged into the wall and connected to a T1 via wifi and am very close to the access point. I started at about 9:45 and it was all done and restarted at about 11:15. I now can’t find my camera app though, and my phone turned off and would not turn back on via the lock button. Had to hold down both to get it to start back up again.
Did ur camera come back after you turned it off n on ???? I’ve lost mine 😣
Yes! It was actually hidden at the end of the pages, so go one more than you normally have, it should be there. I think that is also where mine was the whole time. Weird! BTW everyone, already noticed that maps is slower, or maybe it is just me. 🙁
Got unable to update due to unknown error on 4s and went ito factory resore mode. this again did not work. Rbooted PC connected Iphone came up with IOS 6 and is restoring from Backup taken before first go. We will see.
i have downloaded it at school its awesome 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
i cant find passbook, where is it ???
The download went quite smoothly, all’s working well. My 4S will be handed down in two days but just thought update it for the lucky person
Took an hour passbook doesn’t seem to work. I’m in the uk so assuming that’s why. Otherwise all looks good. Take a while figuring new maps out but for my 4s its a great little thing to keep a blonde bird amused for a bit! Also when I click on App Store on passbook it says unable to connect to iTunes so not sure what that’s all about 🙁
Can someone help me, I lost AUDIO on my new iPad after the iOS6 update…
Why the thumbs down i’m being serious
I have ipad 2 and it worked ok
Did you try doing a hard reset and/or plugging it in?
Restrain yourself into upgrading so quickly. Wait for reviews.
Downloaded fast and with no problems!
downloaded software.. Itunes restored my phone, but now all software is removed from my phone. It wont turn on and wont restore.
All downloaded and working fine it took two hours. Exeter UK
finished and working!
The only problem that I have is that my free space on my 4s was slashed by 2 or 3 GB. I guess due to the new maps and navigation features.
Downloaded to 4s & iPad 2, no problems found so far but early days!
Just noticed my iPod/music side of my iPhone looks weird! All white out and grey text. Not sure if this is how it’s supposed to be. Looked better before 🙂 hey ho
Mine looks the same, Deb. Definitely unattractive!
Yeah it’ supposed to be different
It has said “Preparing Update…” for over 15 minutes now 🙁
It takes some time.
idk y it isnt coming. its been preparing update for over an hour now for me
I updated my 4s to iOS 6 right about 12pm CST. It took approximately 35 mins and I update over the air. I really had no difficulties and have suffered no issues with the new software.
Do you lose any of your apps by any chance? I lost half of mine…….and cannot get back on my phone by dl again……….
Downloaded in ul at 6 took about 30 mins works and everything opens as it should but seems buggy every now and again apps drop and says can not connect to iTunes oh and I had to rest phone befor it would find new update hope bugs are due to volume of people downloading il post back tomorrow
Mine is stick on the ‘connect to itunes’ screen, having to restore my iphone, not happy!
Does anyone know what to do so I don’t have to lose everything -___-
downloaded it and its working perfectly fine. great !
got it.
no problems at all
been trying since 10 am (now 4 pm) on my iphone 4 and new ipad. Says “preparing update” and then goes to “download failed”
Long wait to download and then crash, frustrating!
Having problem in downloading it says error
Downloaded all ok. didnt take to long. Only thing i have noticed is that facetime wont work with out wifi.
I downloaded 6 and went smoothly on 3 devices but now half of my apps are missing. When I went to apps store to find one of my missing apps to download again to get back on my iphone 4S there was no usual dl button but instead an Open button which allowed me to open and log in but no option to get it back on my phone. Any ideas? Wish I had waited.
Wait a second on my 2nd page there was only one app so I assumed this was the end of the apps but no the apps continued on page 3 ……….so all is well here……….
I just updated my iPad 2 with the update. I’ve lost my YouTube app, my Siri doesn’t show no matter how many times I press the home button. Anyone help?
youtube app has been dumped by Apple for this update. Don’t know about the Siri issue
Siri only works on 3rd gen. iPad. YouTube is no longer a standard app – you can download YouTube’s own app from app store.
hey, siri is only on the new ipad. Sorry
There is no SIRI on Ipad 2
Ios 6 Works fine but maps very poor. App unable to search proplems
says i need to restore to iTunes but when i disconect my iPhone, its stuck on the connect to iTunes screen… Not to happy at the moment!
Make sure your phone isnt sync to anything else when you plug in your phone.
Can’t update from iOS 6 Beta 4… Any ideas why?
same here – no idea. i have itunes 10.7, got the final version. doesn’t work for either ipad or iphone.
I tried several times downloading but failed …. the download bar goes up to full and then it gives me an error message saying “connection timed out” or whatever. I tried both installing it via iTunes, and via the Settings on the iPhone. Now I am trying again to see how it goes via the Settings and ill let you guys know.
Didn’t work …. again !!!!!! f***….. now I am trying to use iTunes again.
Same here been saying timeout all night is yours working now?
Not yet …. yours ? I’m pissed off now … I’ve been waiting all day for this (I am in Europe) and now I don’t really feel like going to sleep without doing it ahhaah
It’s working !!!! I have 2 iPhones 4, and one of them is currently installing everything (black screen, Apple logo and status bar), and the other one is “Preparing Update” for some time now (just as the other one did)… So everything is working out fine now 🙂
Fine on my iphone 4s doesnt allow me to update on the new ipad.
I don’t quite understand what you are saying …
i cant update it, its keeps saying error. fs man someone help me.
New iPad and 4s updated ok you need to log back into apple store and iTunes after the update.
Strangely I didn’t get the welcome to ios6 ‘slide to set up’ screen after download, just the normal passlock screen. Once entered went straight through to finalising set up details for icloud and now running ios6 and all seems ok!
Updated and running well here in Brazil…
I have it running on my iPad 2, but having difficulties downloading for iPhone 4Gs.
Mine said 23 hours remaining, then cancelled twice, now it wont download… gotta love it -.-
cancelled three times now love you apple..
Works fine on iPad 3 amazing new features 😬
why has it cancelled three times..help someone 🙁 i feel left out with it all ha
Keeps cancelling right near the end of the download 🙁
Tried downloading IOS 6 3 times and each time an error hs occured and stopped the download
Both 4 and 4s in recovery mode and unable to restore. Brilliant.
after two hours on both my 4s and new ipad everything downloads but the preparing seems to get hung up. im gonna try it once more and then wait till late tonight
Started downloading @ 10:00am Pacific Time. Now it’s 1:48 and still no update. Failed multiple times. Awesome. 🙂
My son’s 4 is in recovery mode
Mine too, can anyone help?
My 3gs is in recovery mode. Don’t know whether this is normal. But it is worrying me to death!!!!
Had no notification over the air, but as soon as I connected the 4s and ipad2 to itunes, files downloaded very quickly – total time for the 4s was about an hour in total, 45 minutes for the ipad.
Inital thoughts are it IS faster, but the quality of the mapping in rural UK sat image wise is VERY poor…
I tried to do the update from the device (ipad 3) and it failed with an error msg about the download. So connected to itunes and tried again, this time it gave me the connect to itunes screen but isnt recognized when i connect to my pc or mac 🙁
tried restarting it, same thing. rebooted pc and mac, same thing. replaced cable same thing. I cant even get it to restart in DFU mode to try to restore it.. just restarts with the “connect to itunes” icon. Not impressed.
same thing with my ipad.!! ugh its so frustrating ..! so is the connect to itunes icon still on your screen ..?
It downloaded and installed on the phone now when I started updating apps from the App Store and I was moving icons around it crashed. After it rebooted, the apps still show as installing. I have shut down the iPhone several times but everytime I bring it up it still shows the apps as installing but nothing is happening.
Started and failed four times – now it says 7 hours remaining / and then 5 hours remaining (after only 5 minutes).
Outlook email all gone, has to download everything from the server. I keep about a year worth of email on my iPhone for quick access. That is 22k of emails I have to wait for it to download. You have to be in mail for it to download or it will pause. Why is that not a background task?
I thought it seemed slower after the install, but that was due to email being downloaded.
Youtube is gone, but we knew that. It is available in the apps store.
Took 15 mins to download and then over 40 before the update completed on iPhone 4. I have over 300 apps (yeah, I’m one of those guys), so maybe the more apps the longer it takes? Folders got a little messed up and there is a couple blank screens inbetween. Easy to fix, but strange.
So far 20+ games and apps work.
Is it me or does the screen seem clearer? Sound is louder?
WARNING TO EVERYONE: Do not update cause i just lost over 1000 of my photos off of my iPhone. Update at your own risk
It just takes a while to do
I think the Apple servers overall are overloaded currently. I decided to update my Mac software now to 10.8.2 and it began downloading, but only up to a point, after which it said the “Request Timed Out” …… I guess I’ll wait ’till tomorrow
I updated my iPad and iPhone to IOS 6. My iPad had no problem updating, but my iPhone is pissing me off. It’s saying that It’s in recovery mode, and I have to restore it. Help anyone? if you can.
Did you back it up to iCloud before you downloaded the update? Or do you not use over the air?
The download for my iPhone 4S took 10 min. or so and went smoothly. That is, until I tried to connect to my home wireless network. It says “unable to join the network.” (Yes, I’m inputting the correct passcode.) I even tried resetting network settings and resetting the iPhone itself but to no avail. Hours earlier my MacBook did the update, all went well with no problem connecting to my home wifi. Should the update show up on my iPad, I’m not going to do it until this thing is straightened out!
i keep on getting disconnected to my WiFi connection too 🙁
It happen on my 4s cant get WIFI 🙁 HELP!!!!
same here!!!!
I keep getting disconnected from WiFi, too. When I connect to my preferred network a page pops up asking me to Log In but takes me to a page on Apple’s website that isn’t found 🙁 PAIN!
Oh, now all of a sudden it’s working!
Same thing with my ipad 2. Some kind op pop up with apple website. 404 page.
Then it says i dont have a wifi connection. Arf should have waited
a day.
No wifi here… sends me to an unknown apple page.
Same on my iPod 4G
I had to do a hard reset on my phone
Time out of server should not force you to start again from the beginning.
Have been trying all day. Starts off at 13 hours and declines from there (in actual hours). Best I have got to is 9 and then it gives a message about not internet connection being available which is wrong since I am on a good wifi connection.
Downloaded to iPhone 4 but keeps saying error occured on install,anyone else had this problem?
Ya i have the same problem, tried about 3 times now.
Took about 4 hours in total – 3.5 hours of “downloading” and about 20 minutes of “preparing update”, then 10 minutes for “verifying update” and general restart.
just done update on iPhone 4s. Took about 30 minutes, no problems so far.
I tried updating and it initially downloaded, on my phone, in under an hour. Then the problems started. The phone didn’t restart and went into recovery mode. Plugging in to iTunes it wanted to download IOS6 AGAIN, but this time the file was 900mb+ (1/3 bigger) and would take 6 hours. This download failed 4/5 of the way through and now it will take TWELVE hours to download. No idea if that will work.
Not liking Apple all that much today – definitely won’t be buying the iPad I was saving up for – don’t want to go through all this again as I’ve no doubt lost everything.
Anyone having trouble with Safari (iPad) after updating? Crashes when I try to open bookmarks and sometimes randomly. Could still be restoring though…
it keeps telling me an error occured and it fails. Then it restarts it self and does the same thing again. When it told me to restart the computer it still didn’t do anything.
my ipod touch 4 g updated…as well as my cousins….but my iphone wont…grrr..it keeps saying network problems…i have been waiting..ipod touch did say that is waspreparing for 15 mins…but we spend like 3 hours waiting…it was worth the wait…im just more than ready for ios 6 on my iphone 4s
I updated my iPhone 4s, the update went fast and smooth, all the apps work perfect except the front camera of my phone, the quality is very poor, the back camera is good, but the front camera has very poor quality, sharing the same problems?? 🙁
I started my update at 12 pm…. it is now 6 pm and still not done WTF?
Can’t connect to my Wifi at all.
me either
me either..waiting on hold. I click to connect to my home network and i see a wifi signal, then it disappears, then it takes me to an apple page with all the products.. stupid. on hold for 15 minutes now. what a CF.
Reboot
I saw the same thing during my (flawless) update. All I could see was the 3G logo and the wifi logo disappeared and the little gear was turning. All though it concerned my followed my default procedure when downloading or updating. DO NOTHING. LEAVE THE DEVICE ALONE TO GET THROUGH THE PROCESS. Unless is crashes or you get an error mesage everything should go fine.
Reboot
how do you reboot! My phone is not even allowing or taking me to the part where when your phone turns back on to put my password in!!! COMPLETELY FRUSTRATING!!
Has your phone come back on. Mine did the same thing and won’t start again
Reboot Apple.
same! anyone figure this out?
me too, bag of shite
hard reset doesn’t fix it? Mine works :/
Reboot. It ll work
My iPhone works perfectly but my iPod 4th Gen can’t connect to WiFi either…
I get the “Unable to join the Network” error. WTF.
Reboot. It will work
Try tapping
On the blue arrow next to the net works name and then tapping forget network then enter your wifi password then it should work
Just reboot
Click on blue arrow next to your wireless network them click automatically connect 🙂
Updated an hour or so ago…. Says no sim card inserted and was fine before update :/ Tried a restore using iTunes and still has the same problem although I can’t activate as there is ‘no sim’ apparently 🙁
Can no longer connect to airport access point after update. Knew I should have waited.
no wifi connection at all….
what bullS@# update is this
feel like i’m the only one to have had issues so far!
took me hours to update. since i’ve updated my phone seems slower and keeps freezing too! internet connection keeps messing up and once connection then says unable to connect? I have a 4S so i don’t see the need for it to be acting the way it is 🙁
Cant connect to my wifi
I am having trouble connecting to wi-fi after upgrading to ios 6. Has anyone else faced the same issue
I’m having the same issue
Same here too. Maddening. I can’t live off cellular!
My WiFi is fine. I have a 64GB 4S. What do you guys have? Did you try disconnecting and reconnecting to the WiFi again, and/or a hard reset?
Rebootbthe device. Worked for me
Cant connect to my wifi just get an apple page open saying log in ?! When it doesn’t say where or what for
im having the same issue
can’t connect to wifi…Apple shud fix this quick
Upgraded two iphones with the new IOS6 and now I don’t have any wireless!
same here with a 4S, can’t connect to my home wifi!!
Reboot
No wifi man!!!!!!
To connect to wifi I have to turn on airplane mode, then connect to wifi then turn airplane mode off
lost wifi, keeps opening an apple log in page but cant find page
Ok guys just reboot and then the wifi does work.
Any remedy for the wifi not connecting or staying connected?? Mine connects for a few seconds and tries to immediately send me to the Apple page, then says the page can’t be displayed and drops wifi??
I had the wifi problem, but fixed it with forgetting the wifi network and rejoining re typing in my password. Hope this helps Ryan.
I had the same Wi-Fi problems with the “Log In” screen error. I am running iOS 6 on a iPhone 4s. Decent load time and install (under 45 min). I chose “Forget Network” on the Wi-Fi I was trying to connect to, let my phone reacquire the network and joined it again and now it works. I hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
Same as others on my iPhone4S. Network timed out. So received update EXCEPT for FaceTime, iMessage, & Siri. When I try to do software update it states “Error”.
However, my iPad worked perfectly. I’m up and running on it.
guys to get into ur wifi select which on u click on there should be a option where it says auto log in something like tht turn it on and the press the home button and ur wifi should work mine is working now and it doesnt send me to the apple log in page at all
all of a sudden mine works..was on hold for 15 minutes
If you have no wifi, just reboot. Had the same problem before but now it works fine!
My voicemail doesn’t work at all. If someone calls it tells them to put my phone number in and when they do it says that my njmber doesn’t exist. Can’t get into my voicemail at all either. I use version and have a iPhone 4s
Wifi Problem: FIX – On settings>wifi>blue circle to right of your wifi network name…scroll down…set HTTP PROXY TO AUTO
After updating to the iOS 6, my iPad2 is having problems rotating to landscape mode. And I checked if the ipad rotation was locked, so this isn’t the case. Please help Me
I have been trying since 10 a.m. to download ios 6. It says it has 7 hours to go…then stops and I have to start all over. Still dont have it.
Wifi disconnects and goes back to 3G… resolved by rebooting the phone.
Another issue is the PassBook it cannot connect to iTunes store !!!!!!
google “ios6 cant connect to Itunes” and there is an answer. I tried it and worked… invovled toggling the date and time settings.
i had the same problem with the wi-fi, i just turned my 4s off and then tried to connect to wi-fi and after about 3 tries it worked
Download and install went okay on my ipad2 but was dissappointed that no Siri…Then, I couldn’t get on my wifi…Apple site kept coming on and when I pressed cancel, I was knocked of line! This happened repeatedly but I finally got online…Currently Skyipcam doesn’t work…Sent them an email…Still exploring…
Updates should come through in next few days for apps which are currently incompatible with iOS6… And as far as Siri goes, it was always well publicised that iPad 2 wouldn’t get it…!
Connecting to wifi, then the apple website came up…I used the apple wbsite to connect to the apple appstore…At this point, I never lost my wifi again…
totally wiped my iPhone and now it wont even let me restore from backup!!!!
No issues at all with my 4s. However, I had performed an erase all contents and settings before updating over iTunes. May just be random chance. Clearly we all need more data to figure out why some of us work and others do not.
every time i try to download the update it gives me error ur connection timedout, what should i do? or how to fix it ?
I downloaded IOS6 to my two iPhones 4, 4S and my iPad 2 without a hitch. It became available at 1240 pm today and I grabbed it!
I updated using iTunes on my pc so I could back it up first. Went smoothly and haven’t noticed any issues yet.
Horrible. Tried on my phone iPhone 4S and it isn’t working. Only thing on my screen is iTunes and apple cord picture. Trying to update iTunes on my computer because right now I can’t use my phone. This is ridiculous . My ipad2 worked fine
100% fine here thank goodness…Sorry for y’all with problems. Took 30 minutes to do the entire thing. Did a restore via iTunes.
Update took 10 mins and no problems at all including the wifi problems stated 🙂
My ipad 2 download works but I have lost the cellular data. Wifi works. The ipad recognizes my cellular data account but still won’t let me access it. I’ve hard reset it a couple of times.
OTA update, took 25 minutes, no issues, 4S
I’m terrified. After waiting an hour to install I got stuck in “verifying update” mode for another hour. After getting fed up I just turned off my phone manually and now it is in recovery mode and wants me to reset to factory settings! HELP!!! i dont know what to do now….
I’m in Florida so I checked my phone right at 1pm Eastern time and it said to update to iOS 6. Yay………. My download only took about 20 – 30 min. No problem with download and install. After iOS 6 was installed the only problem I had was I could not connect to my network. But the issues resolved its self. No problems as of now.
I live in Nashville Tennessee and I was connected to my home wifi with a 20 Mbps download speed. The update was available at about 12:30 central time and it downloaded and installed faulty quick, in my opinion. It took approximately 20 minutes and I am currently using the iPhone 4S 16 gig model. I was at 80% battery. I also did a hard reset before entering my pass code to avoid the wifi problems and any other bugs that might have taken place if I haven’t. I hope I helped you your forum.
Fairly quickly *
i didnt have any problems updating my phone. the only problem im having right now is with maps. when im in my yp mobile app looking for a restaurant or gas station, or whatever, i can click on directions and it gives me the direction from where i am. after the update when i click on directions, it takes me to safari with google maps, and the directions are from new york to the place I’m tying to go. i have to actually click on maps and put the directions in to get it from the right from and to place. im not sure if yp mobile needs to update or the maps app needs to be updated. either way something needs to be fixed
Done my IPhone 4S and my IPad 3 with no problems at all 🙂 the wifi thing is no big deal just go to your settings and put automatically connect this will fix any problems with wifi.
installed and now my phone won’t do anything- tried the reboot and it didn’t work. tried to reset to factory settings and it failed after 3 hours. if i try to open anything on my phone at all it freezes and then closes the screen. can’t even get into the app store or settings…. any advice? apple was no help- told me to restore to factory settings and have no clue why it wouldn’t do it
i downloaded the update many times but nothing happens after i download it
stuck on connect to itunes screen
i need help!
i press restore, download the update, then nothing appens
not working for me, keeps saying 13 hours to go and then 10 mins later an error message will appear
Same with me. I’m going to try to reboot my phone (even though I did that yesterday) and see where that gets me. I even tried downloading it from iTunes. Maybe the Apple servers are maxed out?
Same with me!! I have tried all these ways and still keep getting error messages. I cant even seem to find an answer online – everywhere I look I keep on finding people with the same problem but no solution. Has anyone found something that works yet?
I get about 30 minutes into the download and it crashes every time around the same time.. Anyone know if it’s just Apples servers not being able to handle the volume of downloads or if it could be a different problem?
you just need a good connections. I downloaded mine for almost 8hrs.. straight!!!
Same With Me what should i do now ???
Yeah my iPhone keeps saying that there is a error when I try downloading and on my iPad 2 it was easy and quick
Mines the exact opposite…
Updated my iPhone 3GS about an hour after release and it took roughly an hour. All worked well, although I did have the wifi bug but it shortly went away. HOWEVER I am still unable, after numerous failed attempts, to update my iPad 2. Although it is jailbroken, I don’t see why that would matter.
my iphone 4s is also jailbroken, i think that might be the reason
Mine completely reset my Apple ID and it won’t let me download anything…fantastic
I did ota download and fail iTune icon and usb icon. redownload restore twice
third time was successful
@superjim1701: iOS 6 successfully installed on my ageing iPhone 3GS handset and appears to run faster now, YAY #iOS6 #iPhone3GS
@superjim1701: iOS 6 successfully installed on my ageing iPhone 3GS handset and appears to run faster now, YAY #iOS6 #iPhone3GS (in Chelmsford, England) will still be upgrading to the iPhone 5 32gb tomorrow though 😉
I am having problems with everything since the update. I’m having problems even writing this!!! So horrible. Wish they just left it alone. Crashing, very slow and just not responding well at all. Disappointed.
The whole process was done in under 20 minutes for my iPhone4s. Then I went through the process for my wife’s iPhone and the results were the same. My wifi connection test’s out at about 4gps. Before the process I logged into itunes and updated the software then made sure to double check back up setting and backed everything to iCloud too just in case. I highly recommend taking that step. Even though Apple has a great track record on these updates, considering the millions of devices updating it’s just a good idea.
My wifi quit but started working again… NOW Siri is no longer working. Matter of fact, it is no longer on my iPhone anywhere!
iPad and iPhone 4 all updated ok. iPad was fast but iPhone 4 took a couple of hours
No issues at all. Had IOS6 was up and running on my 4GS and iPAD all in approx.30 minutes. Both updates running concurrently on respective device.
BTW, I am from Malaysia. Haven’t checked out new features but the phone keypad and App Store layout is updated. Nice touch to file sharing interface too.
i’m from Malaysia too, could you please tell me where ti find the Network, i wish to turn off my data. Thank You
Updated 2 – ipads it went smoothly. It took roughly 48 minutes each on wifi.
My iPhone completely froze and it wouldn’t work at all. I had to take it back to factory settings! WHAT A MESS!!!!! Not happy at all!!!
I did through Itunes this way
1) backed up my iphone 4S
2) downloaded IOS
3) installed
4) synced my backup
All good only two minor issues
1) Auto dim is too sensitive
2) opening passbook make brightness very high
12 hours and still not there yet!
my iphone wont turn on now! anyone else having this issue?
iOS 6 downloaded in 30 mins for me last night, bit disappointed about the maps, but its still good, for the 4s.
I switched my router off and after it came on again I got my Wifi back. Having problems getting some of my apps back on though anyone else with this problem?
my phone is saying to plug into itunes and itunes on the computer is saying to restore my phone. will i lose everything!!!
Keep getting a error message just seconds before its completely Downloaded.
works well for me in quebec..take half hour..
As soon as it was released, my ipad2 was able to connect via wifi and get the update. I first tried connecting it to my desktop. But it would not communicate with the server. So I did it wirelessly. It took about an hour to download.
I left my 4S in download mode last night with 3.5 hours remaining. Woke up this morning and it was completed. Now, when I try to move the Passbook app icon from the main screen to a different screen, it jumps back to the original position and puts the phone into a seemingly minor reboot mode with a black background under the apple logo. It takes approx 5 seconds to return to normal mode. I don’t have any need for the Passbook app and don’t want it in front of my more important apps. They need to fix this now!
i can’t connect to my mobile internet or wifi. Also I backed everything up before the download and now it keeps saying backup failed so I can’t get my old stuff back have to go with being a new phone :@ its all my husbands fault!!! :@ he put it on to update!!!
I can’t even get my iphone 4s and iPad 2 to try the update. I connect to wifi, plug up to a power source, click download and install, but it tells me there was an error downloading iOS 6. I even did a hard reset on my iPad to try that. 🙁
Downloaded, prepared the update, verified and it’s now installing it…less than 30 minutes.
I am able to start then dowload processbut then a message flashes across saying that an error occured while trying to download…I’ve been trying since 2:00 pm on yesterday and still have had no luck.
I have the new iPad. I downloaded the update, but I have no Siri! I thought that was part of the update.
Mine worked great. Started at around 2pm EDT yesterday and update was fully completed by about 2:30. Worked just as smoothly on my husband’s iPhone as well as my sister-in-law’s. We all have the 4s.
the ios6 update went fine, problems after the update, my apple apps then needed updating, they’ve been stuck in download ever since, this has been 9hrs so far.
ios6 update put my iphone 4s in recovery mode and i cant get it back on
On my ipad2 download is greyed out.
my imessage has stopped working… keeps saying awaiting activation thats it, worked fine before but not anymore since i update. As per usual Apple have failed to test things fully before deployment, hopefully ios 6.1 will be out soon
not only did IOS 6 crash my phone, it now won’t allow me to restore my phone. Been without a phone for about 16 hours now.
my phone is same did u it
IOS 6 on my 4S runs like crap. It is not as quick, the youtube app is no longer available and the only way to access video is through a third party google made application for the iphone which is identical to the one on the Samsung galaxy s3. This app runs awful and is very slow.
Very dissapointed apple.
Im rolling back to IOS 5.1.1. Never had any issues using that.
mine wont download at all
You need 2.5 GB of space on your IPhone…READ!
cant turn my phone on. all it shows is the itunes icon with the connecter cord plugged into it 🙁 after about 30 seconds of that screen, it just shuts my phone down…
Huge problem! It stucked on the screen that tht shows the iTunes icon with the USB and itunes on my pc can’t recognise my iphone. I don’t know what to do. IOS6 IS COMPLETELY FAIL
I started updating both my ipad and iphone at same time. 6.03 and they both completed and rebooted at the same time. It went through like magic! It had completed by 7pm.
Mine is always failing to download. It wont even give the estimated time remaining 🙁
I updated my phone without a problem (4s) also my husband was updating his at the same time (also 4s) and he somehow got stuck on a black screen with a small loading circle in the middle for 8hrs. Finally he got his phone to turn back on, no update and keeps telling him he must active his phone. Any suqqestions?
My 4s works fine when connected to Wi-fi, but once I’m out and about and its 3G nothing works, cant get on the internet, I can’t call or text anyone and vice versa … Anyone else having this problem aswell?
hi download the new ios6 no siri or passbook it like ts installed some of the features but not all
Apple, you F tards. Contracts up I’m going Droid.
I’ve downloaded the new version then had to restore factory settings on the phone. Have restored as back up to last back up and now the phone wont restart at all, just got the silver apple and the timer bar which isnt moving. Have tried to restore 3 times now and the same thing each time.
Same thing happening to me. Did you fix the problem??
For the 20th time the message ” an error occurred while downloading IOS 6″ ahhhhhhh
No problems down loading to my iPhone 4s, running well and very happy but keep getting error message when trying to download onto my ipad2!
i attempted downloading iOS 6 from the phone itself, then after it loaded, wanted to to connect my phone to iTunes, once i did, it gave me no choice but to restore my phone to update it. i unwillingly selected “ok”. There was no way I could go back, all of my text messages, contacts, calendars, notes, etc. were completely gone at that point. Luckily, most everything (contacts, calendars) were backed up to iCloud, but my text messages were gone, or I assume they are since i had to restore my phone. As of now, my phone STILL says to connect my phone with iTunes, when it is at this moment, and iTunes is “Contacting the iPhone software update server…” and has been running for over 10 minutes. Yet, I have been through this process already, I have been trying to have it “contact” but then a pop up comes up saying that the network timed out. It then has me restore my phone AGAIN, to go through the same process over and over again. HELP.
At 1:05pm (eastern time) on Wednesday, I hit the software update on my 4S and the download began instantly via Wi-Fi. It took 17 minutes to download the OS and about another 20 minutes for the device to install it with absolutely no issues whatsoever. I guess I managed to beat the rush later on in the day.
it wont find my carrier and wifi and now it will not turn on
i have just downloaded the new iphone software and it has completely wiped my phone,i now have a blank phone with no software and wont work!!
I downloaded ios6 and it has changed all of my cellular internet connection settings and no nternet. Ive changed them back to what they were and still have no net! what the f@ck!!??
Preparing for update===> an error has occurred :////
updated iphone 4 had some issues, although finally finished, lost all music and older photos that were transfered from Samsung phone, no explanation for lost music.
I was trying since last night and all today to date my ipad 3 with no success. It would run for hours and the I get an error message “software error” . I’m trying again one last time.
It tookme five hours to download it to my 4s. But with my ipad, it kept failing until our whole internet crashed. My friend had the same problem
I have had nothing but problems since downloading iOS 6. First I was told that the update had failed and I needed to restore my phone to factory settings, which I did, then reloaded all my apps, photos and music. Only to find that my banking and my surveillance camera apps no longer work. I hate it. Does anyone know how I can re-instal iOS 5 back on to my phone which is a 4s. Thanks
Took me about 30mins as soon as it was released to download on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4…and everything works great. Sad about losing the YouTube app though!
It downloaded successfully on my iPhone 4 and my new iPad #1, but not on my new iPad #2 for some reason. Both iPads purchased at the same time. Must be the servers and I got lucky on one. Tried downloading from iTunes (latest version) and got the same message as over WiFi. Will keep trying.
mine constantly says preparing for update when the bar shows its almost done. its been 2 hours
My problem is in the downloading process, I get to about quarter of the way and then I am told that there has been an error and my Internet has timed out. This is still happening when I have reset my router. Any help?
updated to iOS 6 successfully!!! Download time around 15minutes, just need to be patient while waiting for “preparing for update” =) Hope you all will be success to install it ~~~
Took a long time, possibly 4hrs but is due to my slow stream – all seems ok and working! In South Africa.
Don’t download the iOS 6.0 update if you don’t want your wifi to suffer. I highly not recommend it.
Downloaded iOS6 and lost all my text messages. Is there any way I can retrieve them?
keeps failing, others in household are fine…
ios 6 updated on my ipod touch but now its just a gray screen that says iOS 6 but I cant get into my ipod now.there is a “dot” that I touch but it doesnt really help anything! HELP!!!
After 3 attempts over WiFi and 2 over iTunes I surrender and gave up. Over WiFi takes almost 2 hrs and 1 hr on ITunes I got software dowload failed. Seems like Apple’s servers are overload with all iPhones users trying @ the same time. P.S. I am in Mexico.

Been trying for two days. Over wifi, it says 7 hours to download, then gives up with unknown error. When connected to iTunes it says 22 hours, downloads for a few, then error message. I give up! I don’t need this. I have a life! Thanks for nothing Apple!
My iPhone completely shut down after the IOS 6 installation. It won’t even start now.
I even did the override where you hold down the top button as well as the main buttom and all it does is go off for about 2 seconds then the apple logo shows up again and nothing else happens
have more than 3 hours of waiting downloading and its still downloading,any idea ,how lond does it take,sometimes i get unknown error while about to start upgrading.
Just about to finish says download failed
It downloaded fast enough on my old 3, but, wished i had never done it..it has problems
you cannot log out of facebook, for one
Having trouble with the ios 6 upgrade on an IPhone 4. Two iPads went fairly smooth.
On iPhone 4, the software update step seems to have completed but the device is not recognized in iTunes. The phone display shows the iTunes logo and a USB cord, indicating to plug it in, but iTunes is not recognizing the device. I have updated iTunes to the latest version, but can’t seem to get further.
Success! Apparently there are USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports on our laptop. Once connected to iTunes on a 2.0 hub, we were able to restore the phone from a backup.
hey experiencing the same issue. How did you resolve this?
When I downloaded ios6 to my iphone 4 my youtube account won’t let me add videos to favorites nor playlists . How can I fix this

I downloaded IOS 6 on my iphone very easily but I am having some difficulty with Face Book – it suddenly doesn’t recognize my password, I get in but not sure how. My ipad didn’t prompt me at all, so I upgraded with Itunes. Anyone else having that problem or know how to fix it? Thanks.
when i first started my download it told me 8 hours .. but i left my phone alone & on the charger and it picked up _ you have to be patient, because so many people are trying to download at once.. i dont advise you to use your phone during the update to avoid interruption. just be patient, once it downloads everything will work fine.
if you have a jailbroken phone, be careful. it can crash your phone.
Let the battery die out. Completely. Then recharge.
If this doesn’t work: yes you got a lemon.
This will happen more and more as Apple has gone into a very shaky territory: Mass-production-in-breakneck-speed-with-minimum-quality-control.
I own an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPod nano, iPod touch, iPod classic.
• iMac’s screen makes a high pitch noise when light intensity is in the middle
• MacBook Pro’s motherboard got fried after a year of use
• iPod nano died after six months of use with no apparent reason
• iPod touch crashed more often than not
• iPod classic is working very fine after seven years of usage. It was then not into enormous mass production.
All future Apple products will have glitz and bugs. That’s the price of the mass production. Period.
The reason Apple set up the Genius bar is because they knew their products will get buggy as more people buy their products. So that’s a smart move from them. But still, the days of Apple products being free of hassle seems to be behind us.
Don’t update until you’re sure. There is no downgrade and io6 has screwed with the sandbox permissions i.e. you can no longer load your own files into any of the apps like TomTom where I have thousands of my own personal POIs. io6 has locked the folders so what was simple in io5 using Diskaid (drag and drop) file transfer is no longer possible. Other apps have become clunky too i.e. golfshot is less repsonsive – not what you need when waiting to take a shot on the golf course. So beware Apple sem to have done something similar to what MS did with IE and upset the EU. I expect there’s loads of flack to come Apple’s way because at a stroke they’ve destroyed facilities I need and enjoyed.
This is Apple & MS Monopoly!
Steve Jobs has already made his way out of the show. [RIP].
But the ultimate loss is for you guys who spend whooping amount on an iPhone.
Wait for 5 years and still get the same phone with an extra inch… Hats off.
New OS which you cannot even Upgrade [not yours, but Technical Fault form Apple Side].
Apple seeks $707 Bn from Samsung.
Wake up you guys… You are being fooled just on a Brand Name: Apple.
They might bring in “iShit” and people will fall in queue for 2-3 days and will buy it for $199 also.
That is the high of insanity.
Well, Best of Luck for you OS Upgrades. Applers.
It keeps saying it fails to install ios 6? What should i do
I just downloaded the update and now my phone will not turn back on! It said it needed to restart however now I am just getting the apple logo fading in and out. I have tried to power it down with no success. Any advice?
Took two hours for the download……no problems so far. I’m concerned, though, because the last update caused my battery to drain faster.
after downloading it shows a msg “error downlaoding ios6
won’t download for me….attempted 3 times and always says “failed.”
iOS 6 successfully downloaded into my iphone 3G, then it was loading updates for 3 apps when it shutdown completely. now it won’t even turn on even after a charged it. help!
Didn’t even think of compatibility before i clicked update. is it not compatible w/ 3G?
I tried to download the updates for iOS 6 .in the beginning it all went well and time left for download shows 4hours and for one hour download was smooth full .Later I got an error message that download failed.Kindly give me how to download the updates.

And the Youtube, sometimes cannot connect.
also, passbook, … cannot work…
what else? Maybe I will find more when I use more…
After the downlad my phone has gone completedly DEAD!!!
It doesn’t even show when I plug it to Itunes
Please anybody knows what to do??
Can someone help me? I’ve downloaded it and it’s stuck on verifying update. It’s been stuck on it for ages now and I think something is very wrong with it!
It would be nice if people had some common sense.
You don’t update on the same day the software comes out of course servers will be busy millions of people will be trying to update.
IOs6 went fine for me I updated the day after.
If you going to update make your self familiar with the common issues first in google.
If you not technical get help
Cannot update my 4S to IOS 6, said error after verifying phone with apple
my iphone 4s says software up to date on ios 5.1.1 and itunes i have tried to download about 11 times already and keeps getting error message after downloading about 80%
I uploaded and when i went to install my phone completely crashed. It doesn’t even work at all anymore. I have an appointment tomorrow to get it fixed. Fingers crossed.
I downloaded the ioS6 update sucessfully but now my camera has disappeared. Does anyone have any idea where it might have gone?
My 13 hour download went smooth (I slept through 8 hours of it). Here’s the however – notes from my iPhone copied to my email inbox on my Mac desktop – go figure. I was able to select the notes in my inbox and delete all. This also happened when I upgraded the iPhone to the last iOS. Do I have something set wrong in iTunes?
Currently trying to update, took AGES and has the tinest bit to go but has been sitting there for 30 minutes!
Wichita Kansas….Sprint carrier. Iphone 4. Sprint says Mother board crashed. But also to call Apple. Phone has not worked correctly since ios6 download now add a sprint problem and NOTHING is working. Apple says call carrier. Runaround both places. I don’t have phone. Bars fluctuate, wi-fi won’t stay connected……tonight I have NO phone. I am livid!!!!!!!!!
It’s been about a week or more since the iOS 6 update came out an it gets all the way to the end and says an error has occurred. I always har done it with full wifi connection and it’s always had a full battery. I need help.
OK, for all of you who have been locked up since your IOS 6 upgrade, how did you get your phone to work again? Mine has been locked up for 36 hours, can’t shut it off, can’t use it at all, I just get the apple symbol on my screen and occasionally it tells me to slide the bar to continue the upgrade then the screen goes blank. I let the battery run out and re3charged but it came back doing the same thing, I took the chip out and that did nothing. Now I have a $200 piece of junk!
Yeah it keeps on happening to me and it gets quite annoying and it’s really pissing me off so I hate it right now
sanjay jha

the update worked out fine but having issues with the talking apps like talking betty and all those anime apps you talk into. they won’t work at all and the updates for those apps says 2011 but i don’t think that really should be an issue unless apple has to make an update fix for those apps. every other app seems to be fine.

Time for an s3

When everybody realize than iP products are sh** worth.

Congratulations everybody for choosing iPh*** !!!!
My phone work fine and not need any upgrades to work properly and give me chose to do any upgrade when I want it, or skip if you not interesting.
Apple never give you choose. Maybe nice design and high price for most of us its great enough to not use brain when buying this products. gadget…
… worthless when without new upgrade and access to the internet.
Why we cant upload iOS6 thru PC?
Is true!! Hard reboot is what you need, but I don’t like the new update, you can’t have street view with the google maps anymore
It’s a waste of time downloading iOS 6!!!!! Such a pain, very upsetting, all you get is “error” every attempt to download it!!!!!
I had no problem installing iOS6 on my iphone 4S. I downloaded the IPSW file from Apple downloads to my PC and then performed a straight Restore. My iOS 6 is working smoothly. I only wish the iOS 6 jailbreak comes soon.
Im also having problem with downloading the ios6 to my ipad3… When i go to software update it says: download and install…so when downloading it first, in the middle of the process it will say an error has occur. I tried to do it multiple times and still the same. Im connected to wifi when doing it, and im so sure that i my wifi connection is fast. Is there anything else that i need to do?
I’ve finished the download but when it come to installing it in my 4s, I said error and now my 4s is not responding at all!! It just a black screen with an apple logo on the front!
I got mine really early in the morning it was released in Aus took a while though didn’t have problems.
Mine just says that an error occurred I have wifi connected And charging and enough space in my phone but still never installs any ideas anyone ?
had to restore
thanks for this post really helpfull.
when i turn it on it says to connect to itunes and when i do it says to restore and it wont restore
Rubbish, after downloading IOS6 for an i-phone 3S the system lost all backups and phone had to reinstall. Worse still i-tunes will not sync and refuses to work with another i-phone 4 and i-pad. when connecting a phone i-tunes locks and can only be shut down with Task Manager. Crap software i will not use apple again.
I had trouble updating so took all my music off and done inside an hour (my broadband is junk). I think the update needs more space than it states.
I have had no luck but have reached 2 different levels of “unsuccessful” for a few days between Barcelona Spain, Cannes France and even Civitaveccia Italy, it did not even get the prep bar to turn blue, the screen stayed grey all the time with the message “downloading” Yesterday I tried again in Venice and was overjoyed when the download bar turned blue , but about 26min later, it bombed out. I tried again today in Ravenna, Italy, my experience was the same as yesterday. Error message : SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED: An error occurred, downloading IOS 6. PLEASE HELP, I’m close to throwing this gadget. Overboard.
Hi I am in Trinidad west indies and have been trying up to 5 mins ago to update my Ipad2 ios to ios6 after saying preparing update for about 5 mins, a new window comes up saying ” update failed. Error in downloading ios6″

After down loading ios6 to my iphone it will not ring or will not make any noises at all it will only vibrate regardless of what I do more than a little inconvenient, can anyone help I am more than sorry I downloaded it now!!
I have ios 5.1.1 running on my iPhone 4. There is a prompt to download iOS 6. But when I try to install it I get a message saying verification failed because I was no longer connected to the Internet even though I am and able to browse and receive mail as well.
Mine goes through the whole process including backup and when it gets to the end, I get an error message 0xE8000084. This has happened on both of my computers. No solutions found online.
Strange. I unplugged my iphone and replugged in and it upgraded to the 6.0.
hi has anyones stopped connecting to internet since update wifis ok but not internet on phone
My problem is that it will load, but after a while it will cancel. The time estimates randomly but whatever happens, it still cancels. My family updated already, im the only one left. My memory isnt the problem. I just dont know anymore.
i tried to download ios6. but a message appears after 20 mins that the internet connection has timed out
It will start the download pretty well. But after a while, random time estimates come out, which is nothing at all to me, because I know it varies. So then, my latest try was awhile ago, which started at this specific time remaining, until 4 hours, 3 hours, pretty well. I thought it would finish, but unfortunately it canceled. Always says “An error occurred download iOS 6” etc. It’s really sad and frustrating. My family updated already.
it’s been a while but i still could dwnload ios6.0.1 on my iphone 4s… “an error has occured prompts on my screen after a minute or two of installing & dwnloading the update…
