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. I’ve never had this sort of problem before. Maybe it’s to do with the iPad models from before 2018? My mum has a 2017 10.5 pro and she’s been having the same problem too.

Hopefully not all other users without problems will post here. Might be several millions. We discuss problems here, not the successful,updates, guys!

Fleet…. Saw this yesterday and was hopeful. Alas, still no joy here. Guessing something drastic is going to need to be done.

I should add that it did update to the current 15.1 software.

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!!

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!

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.

The same for me.

Updating from iTunes Windows APP works.

Insert a SIM card if it is the cellular version. This will help.

When I upgraded to 15.0.1, I could not use WiFi.

I had to delete my McAfee app to clear the problem!

I am good to go now!
