Greetings Shoaibahmad,


It appears that you're trying to complete a software update on your iPad and you're receiving an error message. Is that correct? If so, the following steps may be able to help resolve this issue:


"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."


More details here: If your iPhone or iPad won't update
