Unable to install 15.2 update

If your iPad is using iOS 10, I am guessing that it is an iPad 4 which cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.x.x.x. It lacks the components needed to run newer software

I’ve tried to install the new iOS 15.2 update on my iPad and I keep getting a message it’s having trouble installing… anyone have any advice?

If your iPad is capable of being updated to a more recent version of iOS/iPadOS than is currently installed, these support pages outline both the available methods by which the update can be performed - and troubleshooting should you experience difficulties:

Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support

iOS update and restore errors – Apple Support

If you continue to experience difficulties with direct update from iPad Settings, you may have more success if you perform the update using a PC or Mac computer. To do so you will need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS). Ensure that your installed version of iTunes has been updated to the most recent version; the essential device drivers are included.

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support

Update software on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes on PC - Apple Support

You should note that for your iPad to install an available update, its battery must be charged to at least 50% capacity - and/or be connected to its Power Adapter. Similarly, the iPad can only be updated over a standard WiFi connection - or be updated by a PC or Mac using iTunes or Finder - over a USB connection.

Sorry! Your message indicates an iPad running iOS 10. You should be able to run the update. You might try shutting down the iPad, restart it and try to update again. Worth a try...

The error occurs on my iPhone 10 running 14.8. I was able to download the update but it won’t install. Any suggestions? I’ve tried to shut down the device and restart. I’ve already offloaded a bunch of things to free up some spas well.

I am unable to complete the install on my iPad for 15.2. The iPad displays the message “installing”, but it never completes int install.

I have the same issue with updating

15.2.1
