iOS update failure

Thanks pal, you're right I'll probably just have to restore. The iPad regularly backs up to iCloud, so guess I'll just have to erase all settings then restore from the cloud. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll give it a go when I got some spare time.

Haven't restored yet, but I thought I'd paste the full log in case anyone can see something here...

Just wanted to update this thread. I've sorted the issue for now, I plated the software from iTunes, which basically downloads the entire iOS as I'm sure you all know, but I thought that in doing so it would remove any failed updates.

The next time there's an update, I'll try an OTA update and hopefully I won't have this issue again. Definitely quicker then restoring though.

That should say... Updated the software, not plated...

UPDATE Since iOS 6

Tried to update to iOS 6 last night on the iPad, downloaded the file just fine and when it tried to verify I got the same error as above.

I then decided to reset the iPad - lose all settings and data. Once it restored, I tried to install the update again - same thing. The update did not need to re-download, I was just prompted to install it.

I have now booked a Genius Bar appointment to let them sort it. I could keep trying stuff but as I only have 3 months left of warranty I'd rather Apple sorted the issue. I could go and try restore mode, but the unit isn't working as it should so I think it's better they fix it.

I'm surprised no one else has found similar issues, makes me think this issue is quite rare. iPhone updated just fine, so I know it's not my network. I'll post back after I've been to the geniuses.

Hi, probably no use to you now as you would have sorted your issue. If anyone else comes across this issue... yes, Apple did just replace my iPad at the time. The head techie had never seen the issue and was surprised I came in and did all the troubleshooting for him. No questions asked, just gave me a new iPad as it was still under warranty.
