Hi annibelle33,


We'll be glad to help. We assume you're referring to an iOS update. If so, you'll need to follow the steps outlined here to resolve your issue: If your iPhone or iPad won't update


"If you can't reach the update server or can't verify the update

If you try to update your device, you might see one of these messages:

An iPhone showing the "Unable to Check for Update" alert.

"Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred while checking for a software update."

 

An iPhone showing the "Unable to Install Update" alert.

"Unable to Install Update. [Software] update requires a network connection."

 

Try updating your device again using the same network. If you still see one of these messages, try updating your device using another network or update your device with your computer:

If the issue happens again after trying to update with multiple networks, remove the update.


"


That should resolve your issue.


Cheers.

Can you post a screenshot of the whole screen, it could reveal why you aren't able to update.


Make sure you:

• Are using a WiFi connection (not a hotspot).

• You have an active cell signal (You need both WiFi and cellular service to perform the upgrade).

• Are not using a VPN connection.

• Have your battery charged at least 50%. Better yet, keep it plugged in during the update.

• Do not have power save mode turned on.

• Do not have a beta version installed.

• You have at least 10 gigs of storage available.
