iOS 15.0.1. download problems

Hello,


I downloaded the iOS 15 update, which took forever, but have had no problems with it. Now the newer update iOS 15.0.1 will not download at all. I was always stuck on it verifying, so I would sleep and unlock the iPad as suggested on a help website but then it just sits on installing forever and doesn’t download. It also won’t download/install over night like it says it can.


Is anyone else having trouble downloading the newest update? Can anyone suggest a solution to help me fix this issue? My iPad is an iPad Pro 12.9 2017 512gb cellular.

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.

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.

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!
