iOS 15.0.1. download problems

I have the same problem on an iPad Pro 12.9 inch 2nd gen 256GB Cellular. Update to iOS 15 was fine. 15.0.1 gets stuck in verifying.

I already resetted the whole iPad but restored it from iCloud Backup, so I am not sure if I have maybe used a complete clean install.

Regards, Dan

I have completely erased and reset my iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (2nd generation) to factory settings, clean installation with no data transferred and I still canning upgrade to iPadOS 15.0.1?

Obviously there’s a major issue with this upgrade, suggest not trying to install until the problem is resolved!

I had the same issue when upgrading via WiFi with an iPad Pro 9,7 128 GB and an iPad Pro 10,5 256GB - both stuck in verifying.

I detached the pads from power cable (to prevent maintenance mode) and pressed Startbutton and Homebutton at once until the Apple appeared and released the buttons - so the Pads got restarted and fell back to old IOS 15. Then i did upgrade via Itunes to 15.0.1 on PC which worked.

i'm here with the same issue, seems more widespread than i thought. My iphone 12 pro updated without any issue. My iPad pro 256GB (cellular) just sits on installing, tried both wifi and then followed the support advice to use my pc. When using my PC i get unknown error 4000.

looks like i shall sit on iOS15 for a while until this has been fixed by apple.

thanks for your posts guys

I had the same issue with my iPad Air 4th generation and all I did was hold the power button and once it gave me a few options (I just hit Continue at the bottom) then it gave me the option to install the update

Okay, got it with Apple configurator (iTunes is supposed to work too)

Just talked to Apple. The last resort (before sending it in or going to an Apple store) is to update via iTunes or Apple Configurator (this is what I am using). When plugged in on the iPad enter passcode of iPad to allow the connection. In configurator doubleclick to open device and the in the middle you can see the "Update to latest OS" option.

No need to worry about wheather the device is managed or not.

For Mac users it is easy since Apple Configurator is free (AppStore or PreInstalled). Windows users need to use iTunes (no idea if that works equally good...according to Apple Support that is the way to go).

Hope that helps.

Personally I would expect Apple to release a revised Version so Installation is possible without using a Mac or PC.

Anyways, cheers!!

This does indeed work but as i have found out, you now need to do this every time there is an update to IOS in order to keep updated - i think Apple needs to look into this and address as there are now iPad owners out there outside of warranty that the IOS15 update has really impacted functionality and having to DFU/iTunes/Configurator just to apply an update each time is really not acceptable.

I had the same issue: reset iPad Pro to new unit because of failure to charge issue. After reading thru this forum I reset again without backup as new unit, updated to iOS 15.0.1 . No issues experienced since.

Downloading failed once on my 12.9 2nd Gen but completed after a reboot. Verified ok. Came back 2 hours later to installing… Have >50GB free so unlikely to be a space problem. Something is clearly upset. Will try iTunes but this maybe a time I sit on the fence. iPhone 8+Updated with no issue.

Same thing for my iPad Pro 10.5. Did the recommended fix in iTunes and I get error code 4000 on my PC. This is definitely an update issue that Apple needs to resolve. It seems that iOS 15 is extremely buggy. I’ve never had to update via iTunes ever. I also don’t think people need to freak out on the update to 15.0.1. From the release notes, there doesn’t seem to be any super critical updates. I would sit tight with 15.0.0 and wait for 15.0.2.

Solution: Insert a SIM card and the update will work.

I tried EVERYTHING alese about 50 times, it did not work. Update via iTunes, erasing update from the settings and re-download, even a complete reset did NOT help!

hi. had this issue with ipad OS 15.0.1 and 15.0.2. i tried everything possible except erasing the ipad and reinstalling from scratch which i am always reluctant to do with 500gb occupied on my ipad (i also read a couple of times that id did not help...). then, i downloaded Apple Configurator 2 on my macbook and updated the ipad from there, following indications by another guy on the thread. a little stressful but it worked!

Hi There,

Us too. We have 2 ipad pro 2nd generations. The bigger12.9. inch and the smaller 11 inch.

Both are unable to upgrade to IOS 15.0.1 or IOS 15.0.2.

Update through itunes and laptop did NOT work. Get a weird error. All of this I did in conjunction with apple support help. The initial call lasted 2 hours. They were online with me the entire time. Nothing worked. They said they will call me at 7 PM last sunday and the call never came. What happened??? Not sure. They ran for the hills.

I have some suspicion I need to check to make sure.

I have been an Apple customer since Apple IIe with a Qwerty/Azerty keyboard. Had a toggle switch underneath to switch :D Zork anyone?? The QA/QC quality has definitely gone down since Steve Jobs died. Maybe Tim cook is too much of a nice guy; I too suffer from that disnease. Regardless it seems to be some systemic internal problem at apple and we have to pay the price.

I was traveling overseas. I wonder if I’ve been hacked. Lovely governments they got over there. Of course they days it may be a case of the pot calling a kettle black. I’m back in alternate universes California. They upgrade problem started here commencing with IOS 15.0.1. I had no issues with IOS 15 itself. Everything ran better and faster.

How many of you travelled/are overseas right now. Which counties. What variables do we have in common?

P.S. Again, update via Itunes did NOT work. I got “Unknown error 4000 in itunes.”.

I have a screen shot; but, this website says the image is too big! Gee guys, maybe you should make sure someone using an apple iPad should be able to post a screen shot using apple’s software on “apple.com” Just a though!

Sorry for my short explanation.

The first attempt to update my iPad Pro 9.7 cellular fails.

Many resets after, fails too.

The update only works with a SIM inserted.

Then I want to verify if was a SIM not inserted issue.

This is the reason to try to update my iPad mini no cellular model, and was Ok.

That confirm my suspicions.
