iOS update check failed. An error occurred while installing iOS - what to do. Conflict with jailbreak

Last year's release was completely crude and the subsequent flurry of indignation among iPhone and iPad users due to numerous errors (iPhone 4s slowdown and fast battery drain) is nothing compared to the current problems with iOS 9. Users who rushed to switch to the new version of Apple's mobile operating system encountered serious problems in the operation of iOS devices after the update.

Below the cut we will talk about the most common problems in iOS 9 and how to solve them. Perhaps there will be a solution to your problem. Information is updated as it becomes available.

This is the mentality we Slavs have - we don’t read instructions and don’t listen to advice until problems arise. I'm not an exception. I warned the owners of the iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPad Mini against updating to iOS 9, especially via Wi-Fi - for these devices it is critical and is accompanied by big problems - they did not listen. There is nothing left but to describe the critical errors in iOS 9 on iPhone and iPad, and give recommendations for eliminating them.

!Advice
If you haven't yet updated your iPhone 4s, iPad 2 or iPad Mini to iOS 9, don't do it, save your nerves.

1. Error message “Software Update Failed”

If you receive a “Software Update Failed” or similar message when updating software on your iPhone via Wi-Fi or downloading software to iTunes, Apple’s servers are most likely overloaded and do not have enough hardware capacity to satisfy the requests of those wanting to update.

If you are sure that there are no problems with the Internet connection on your side, just wait a few days until the flow of applicants decreases. I am sure that after some time the excitement among users will cool down and you will be able to easily update your iPhone and iPad to iOS 9 via iTunes or over Wi-Fi (I do not recommend it).

This message appears when updating software on an iPhone or iPad via Wi-Fi, if there is not enough free space in the device’s memory to download iOS 9. In the previous generation of the mobile operating system (iOS 8), this led to a “recovery loop,” but in iOS 9 Apple solved the problem by giving the user the opportunity to temporarily remove some installed applications. After updating, applications will be installed automatically.

You have 2 possibilities:

1. Click on the “Allow App Deletion” button, the device will do the rest on its own.
2. Clean iPhone manually: or.

When updating to iOS 9, the iPhone or iPad displays the Apple logo (sometimes with a status bar) and nothing else happens - the device is frozen.

In most cases it helps (Hard Reset). If it doesn't help you, or through iTunes. This will permanently delete the contents of the device's memory. you can from iCloud or iTunes.

In case you do not have a backup copy in either , or in , try to restore the data using or - the chances are low, but “trying is not torture.”

6. During the update, the iPhone/iPad entered Recovery Mode

During the reboot after the update, the iPhone boots into recovery mode. At the same time, the iTunes icon and the USB cable are displayed on its screen.

There are many reasons why an iPhone ends up in Recovery Mode: from hardware problems (1, (-1), 21) to incorrect user actions (unplugging the USB cable when updating, turning off Wi-Fi). It doesn’t matter how the device got into “Recovery Mode”, it’s much more important how to get out of it:

1. Launch iTunes. The program should recognize your device in recovery mode.

7. Problems with Wi-Fi on iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS 9

After updating to iOS 9, problems with Wi-Fi operation are observed on the iPhone: the device does not connect to Wi-Fi networks, there is no access to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

If you have the same problem, do the following:

• , and then connect your device to your wireless network.
• Turn on Airplane Mode for 10 seconds.
• Disable “Wi-Fi Networks” in Settings under “Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services”. This switch disables the location of the device when connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi and does not completely disable the Wi-Fi module.
• Change the DNS in the Wi-Fi network settings to the addresses of Google Public DNS servers: “Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Click on the “i” icon to the right of the Wi-Fi network -> Click on the “DNS” field and enter the address “8.8.8.8” or “8.8.4.4”.

8. Problems with Bluetooth on iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS 9

If you connect wireless devices to your iPhone or iPad via the Bluetooth protocol (wireless headphones, headset, wireless speakers, car speakerphone) and after the update you have problems with Bluetooth (you cannot connect the device, the wireless headset suddenly turns off when there is an incoming call), then do this:

• Turn off Bluetooth and restart your iPhone.
• Click on the “Forget this device” button in the settings for connecting to a device via Bluetooth (“Settings -> Bluetooth -> Select the desired device -> “i” icon on the right -> Forget this device”). Then reconnect it.
• . Please note that when restoring, all data in the iPhone's memory is permanently deleted. Preliminarily.

9. iOS 9 is slow on iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPad Mini

12. iMessages are not sent after iOS 9 update

Some people who have updated to the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system are unable to send messages in iMessage or it takes a long time. If you are one of them, do this:

• Check your cellular and Wi-Fi settings: iMessage works over a 3G or LTE cellular network, as well as over the Internet over Wi-Fi. Sometimes messages are not sent or take a long time to send due to poor signal. If you are using Wi-Fi, make sure the signal strength is strong. The quality of the wireless network signal is determined by the appearance of the Wi-Fi icon - by its fill level. If you send messages over a cellular network, turn off and then turn on the Cellular Data switch in the Cellular menu.
• Turn off and then turn on the iMessage switch in the Messages menu.
• Make sure you are sending a message to an iMessage user.
• Sign out of your Apple ID: in the “Messages -> Send/Receive” menu, click on the button with your Apple ID and select “Sign out”. Then log in again.

• Restart your iPhone and iPad as usual (using the “Power” button).
• Close an application running in the background: launch the multitasking panel (double-tap the Home button) and bring the application up.

15. iMessage and FaceTime are not activated on iOS 9

Some users (a few of them) encountered a problem when activating iMessage and FaceTime after updating to iOS 9 on iPhone 6.

If you encounter a similar problem:

• Check to see if you have Cellular Data turned on in your Cellular or Wi-Fi menu. If you have an iPhone, the device automatically sends an international SMS to activate iMessage and FaceTime - make sure you have the necessary funds in your balance.
• Check the time zone in “Settings -> General -> Date and Time -> Time Zone”. It must be correct for your time zone.
• Disable iMessage and FaceTime in "Settings -> Messages -> iMessage", and "Settings -> Messages -> FaceTime". Then restart your device and enable these features.

16. Notification sounds disappeared after updating to iOS 9

Some iPhone and iPad users who rushed to update to iOS 9 complain about the lack of notification sounds for incoming calls, SMS, emails, FaceTime video calls, games and other applications. The problem is observed among both iPhone users and iPad owners - sound notifications do not work.

• Make sure your device is not in Do Not Disturb mode by opening Control Center (swipe up from the bottom of your device screen) and look at the state of the month button. Or check the switch status in Settings -> Do Not Disturb.
• Check the position of the Silent switch above the mechanical volume buttons. Turn this mode on and off using the switch several times.
• Turn off notifications for Messages (Settings -> Notifications -> Messages -> Turn off the “Allow notifications” switch), turn off and turn on the device.

• Connect it to a power source using the original USB cable and leave it to charge for at least 10 minutes.
• Turn on the device in recovery mode: Press and hold the Home button and connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer via USB. Release the “Home” button when the iTunes icon and USB cable appear on the device screen.
• Force reboot your device again.

If after this the phone or tablet still does not turn on, enter it into Recovery Mode again and.

18. iOS 9 on iPad does not have Low Power mode

According to Apple, "Low Power Mode" in iOS 9 extends the battery life of iOS devices by up to 1 hour (at the cost of performance). If, after updating to iOS 9, you cannot find this mode in the settings, you should know that it is intended only for the iPhone - it should not be on the iPad. Maybe Apple will add "Low Power Mode" to the iPad in future iOS updates, we'll wait and see.

iOS 10 update not available on older devices?

Unfortunately, Apple has reduced the list of devices compatible with iOS 10. iPhone 4s, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 3, iPad mini, and older device models cannot install iOS 10.

iOS update not available (“ Checking for an update..."). What to do?

Is your device jailbroken (Cydia)?

If the Cydia application is installed on your device (jailbroken), then this is the main reason why the iOS 10 Update is not available along the way Settings -> Basic -> . Jailbreak developers specifically block the ability to update over the air. The fact is that when you update a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, the device turns into a “brick” (an eternal daisy, a white apple, etc.).

In order to install iOS 10 on a jailbroken device, you need to perform the procedure. Detailed instructions are posted.

Otherwise, try the methods below:

Restarting the Settings app

The easiest solution is to restart the program Settings. To do this, open the multitasking menu (click the round Home button twice) and remove the program from it Settings ().

Then open again Settings, go to section Basic and check for updates in the section.

Change the way you connect to the Internet

Sometimes software updates are not found over the Wi-Fi network. In this case, you can try turning off your Wi-Fi network and look for updates using 3G.

After your iPhone or iPad finds the update, you can turn on Wi-Fi again and download the update for your device.

Resetting “network settings”

Some users have reported that resetting their network settings helped them resolve this issue. To reset network settings, go to Settings -> General -> Reset and select Reset network settings.

Please note that resetting your network settings will remove passwords for Wi-Fi networks on your device.

Update or restore your device through iTunes

If all of the above methods did not help you, then most likely you will have to update the device via iTunes on your computer. Just connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer and open iTunes. In the device information window, press the key Update.

The procedure for updating and restoring software is described in more detail.

When at an Apple presentation they talk about new functions and cool features that developers have added to version 10 of the system, you want to quickly test interesting features. But what to do when some errors occur and why is ios 10 not updating? on a smartphone or tablet?

Why iOS is not updated - the main reasons

In fact, there are many reasons associated with the failure. In 99% of cases, you can do without a trip to the service center, unless, of course, the malfunction of the device is not caused by any mechanical damage. In such cases, you should understand that if you “drowned” the phone, but it seems to be working, this does not mean that everything in it is functioning normally. In any case, before going to the service, we recommend that you read and follow the recommendations below.

Model compatibility

In 2016, Apple stopped supporting some of the old guys. Unfortunately, not all device users will be able to enjoy all the innovations of the OS. First of all, we recommend checking your device’s compatibility with iOS 10. Which models support iOS 10? The list is presented here:

If your model is on the list, then we look for the problem further.

Check internet

The error may be that users are trying to download files using 3G cellular data. You can only update over the air using WiFi.

Resetting network settings

Some owners of Apple devices have found a solution to this problem. All you need to do is reset your internet settings. Let's go here:

Settings - General - Reset — Reset network settings

Version conflict

If you previously installed beta version 10 of the system for review, then it is quite possible that it conflicts with the official release.

First you need to delete your beta profile in Settings.

Settings – Profiles – iOS Beta Software Profile – Delete Profile

After rebooting the device, it will be possible to install a new tenth system in Software Update.

If it gives an error

Sometimes an error may appear "Software update failed". This usually happens in the first hours of an official release, when Apple's servers are overloaded. Due to the large number of people who want to test the new system, some glitches occur. In this case, you just need to wait a little. But sometimes the wait reaches several days.

Conflict with jailbreak

Another reason: why is ios 10 not updating?, can be jailbroken and the Cydia application installed on the phone. Since when installing a jailbreak, updates are specially blocked for correct operation and availability of all functions.

The system can be restored via iTunes. To install the jailbreak later, make sure that it does not conflict with new versions.

Software update check stuck

Why is the software update stuck? Why is iOS not updating? on a smartphone? When endless loading appears on the screen, you need to check your Internet connection. The problem may also be on Apple's servers, which simply do not have time to process requests from millions of users.

If there are no problems with the Internet and servers, then you can force a reboot: simultaneously hold down Home and Power for a few seconds.

Updating via computer

If all else fails, then the computer can come to the rescue. You can also update using iTunes. The program itself may automatically offer to download and install a new version on your phone or iPad. If this does not happen, then in the “Review” tab you need to click the “Update” button.

Solution for experienced

If none of this helps, and the answer to the question is: why is ios not updating? is still not given, then you can go to extreme measures. The update itself can be downloaded manually using the downloaded IPSW file. This action does not depend in any way on Apple servers, which increases the chances of a successful system update.

Only experienced users who have been working with Apple for a long time should perform all the steps.

1. First, you need to download the current version of the IPSW file from the Internet, which corresponds to the user model.
2. Connect your device to iTunes using a cable.
3. Next, you need to go to the updates section in iTunes.
4. Hold down the Shift key (Windows) or Option/Alt (Mac) and click the Refresh button. In the end we will have an updated system. If we select the “Restore” function, we will end up with a clean new system.
5. Select the IPSW file that was downloaded earlier.
6. After all the steps taken, iTunes begins to update the smartphone or tablet itself.

After all the operations done, the famous Apple greeting will appear, and the latest update will be installed on your phone!

Your iPhone might be broken, or you might have lost data and found that your settings have changed after performing an update.

In this article, we will look at the most common problems that people have when their iPhone does not see an iOS update.

When Apple first launches a new version of iOS, it may take some time for the update to become available. Sometimes your friend may receive the update before you. Or maybe your iPhone is not capable of running the software, in which case you won't see the warning at all.

To run iOS 11, you will need one of the following devices:

iPhone X	iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2017)	iPad 4th generation
iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus	iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2015)	iPad mini 4

Tip 1: Make sure your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi

Over-the-air updates require iPhone and iPad to be connected to Wi-Fi and battery capacity of 50% or more. (We sincerely recommend putting it on charge). If Wi-Fi is connected, you can also turn it off and turn it back on after a few minutes.

If your iPhone still doesn’t see the iOS update in the settings or you can’t check for updates. Try to force restart your device: press and hold the on/off button.

Hi all! Every year Apple updates the operating system for its mobile devices - this is good. And every year she fails to do this without making mistakes - this is bad. And although iOS 11 was released quite recently (and at the time of writing, it is still in the preliminary beta testing stage), every user can install it and “touch it” - what new thing has Apple prepared for us?

True, both at the installation stage and during use, various problems may arise with the iOS 11 update on iPhone and iPad. Some of them are serious, some are simpler.... In general, we need to understand and correct all this disgrace. How? And I'll tell you now. Let's go quickly and decisively!

Some useful information:

• Be sure to back up all data - or .

Devices that can install iOS 11

Not all gadgets support Apple's new operating system; the update is available for:

	iPad	iPod
iPad Pro 12.9 inches	The iPod Touch 6th generation
iPad Pro 9.7 inches
iPhone 8 Plus	iPad Air 2
iPhone 7 Plus	iPad Air
iPad 4
iPad mini 4
iPhone 6S Plus	iPad mini 3
iPad mini 2
iPhone 6 Plus

If you don’t find any mention of your device in the table, then, unfortunately, iOS 11 is not available to you.

Error: "Checking for iOS 11 updates failed"

So, you haven’t installed the firmware yet (you just expressed a desire) - the problems are already at the very beginning. And they are that:

An error occurred while checking for a software update.

It turns out that the iPhone or iPad does not find the new firmware (although it is there!). How to fix it?

1. Check your internet connection. Use another Wi-Fi network to download.
2. If this is a beta version, then check for the presence of the corresponding profile. If the final result is the absence of any profiles.
3. Try updating via iTunes.

You also need to remember that at the time of firmware release, a huge number of people try to download a new version of the software. Apple's servers cannot withstand this and malfunctions are possible (). In this case, we cannot do anything - we can only wait.

Error downloading update

So, the iPhone or iPad “saw” iOS 11 and started downloading it. However, even here a surprise may await us in the form of an update download error.

What are the reasons for this behavior?

1. There is not enough memory on the device. If the download occurs “over the air”, then you need to make room for the software installation file. Don't want to delete anything? Use iTunes.
2. Unstable or weak Internet connection - interruptions during downloading.
3. The notorious overload of Apple servers. We wait a while and try again.

Don't want to wait for the glitches to pass? You can always “deceive” Apple and download the firmware from third-party resources (for example, w3bsit3-dns.com), and then “slip” it into iTunes. how to do it.

iOS 11 won't install

So, we have finally downloaded the new version of the software and everything is ready for installation. We begin to install and... two options are possible:

What can be done?

1. Hard reboot the device.
2. Check the battery charge - it should be more than 50%.
3. Again, pay attention to your Internet connection.

Nothing helps? Is everything frozen and the bar doesn’t move for a long time? and update via iTunes - this is the only way to “revive” the device.

Update to iOS 11 via iTunes - recovery failed

This error is especially relevant for those who constantly use beta versions of software. So, when you try to “roll back” to a stable version of the firmware via iTunes, you may encounter the fact that the iPhone or iPad “hangs on the cord” and the restoration will fail.

What to do?

1. Enter the device into DFU mode.
2. Download the previous version of the firmware (if you have the 2nd beta installed, download the 1st).
3. Connect to iTunes, hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) and click the Restore button.
4. Select the downloaded firmware.

After installation, connect to iTunes again and restore the device as usual.

I guess that's all for now. Since iOS 11 is now in the testing stage, it makes no sense to consider “glitches and bugs” in the operation of the iPhone or iPad - there are too many of them. But if they remain after the release of the final version, I will add to this article.

P.S. Be sure to write in the comments about the errors that you encountered - we’ll try to figure it out and find a suitable solution!

P.S.S. The secret way to get rid of all the malfunctions is to put “likes” and click on the buttons of social networks. Worth a try!:)
