It says update failed please try again. When I reset the iPad again and redo it over from scratch it says the same thing. …

Could you provide a screen image, so we can see everything your device is telling you.


There’s usually far more information available.


You need to have enough internal storage Available. This is the easiest thing to not have met, these days.


You need to have at least a 50% battery charge. (It can be less if plugged in.)


You need to not be in Low Power mode. (The battery should be filling with Green, not Yellow [or Red].)


You need to have a good, reliable Wi-Fi connection.


If your iPad goes to sleep, while downloading (or installing), your Wi-Fi connection will, likely, go down! If you keep your iPad plugged in, the Wi-Fi connection should remain intact, even as your iPad goes to sleep.
