How to force my iPad to get the last update installed? It seems to get stuck onto “last update requested” for a long time now

My iPad is stuck and I have now access to a super speedy WiFi. I want to force the update now and not later. How can I do?

If you have access to iTunes on a computer, I would try connecting your iPad to a computer using the latest iTunes and try upgrading your iPad through iTunes.


Other than that, I have no other ideas, either.

Hi Michel


thank you for your response.

This is an iPad Pro 10.5-inch running 12.4.1 iOS.

I want to install 13.1.2 one.

it is stuck on « estimated time remaining » written below the IOS title in software update panel.

« update requested... » is displayed right bellow this panel, in grey.


tests already done:

  • push the automatic update to « on »
  • reboot
  • lock the device, plugged to a power source, WiFi on


I am out of ideas...

Nothing is on my phone I use full iCloud facilities of course. Once I was robbed of my iPhone and that was a painful enough experience !


I am taking a risk here but am using more my iPhone than my iPad so it is mitigated. I send my most valuable docs / memories via WhatsApp that I backup everyday so I should be Ok, even if the unlikely event of a destroyed iCloud I should be less affected than other.

I hate using PCs !
