An Error Occurred While Installing IOS 5.1.1 Ipad 1

Hey everyone,

It seems that a ton of people are having this problem and have not found a way to fix it. I want to see if someone out there actually has the answer.

Details:

IPad IOS 5.1

No number in error message on Ipad while trying to update directly through the ipad.

No number in error message when trying to update through ITunes but instead of getting the error occurred message I get a file corrupt while downloading.

I have reset the Ipad to factory settings.

I have tried to install the update file from a downloaded file after trying everything else and it still did not work.

I have also tried to install file in safemode.

Any advice would be very much appreciated! 🙂

iPad, iOS 5.1

See iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes". If on a PC, you may need to turn Off any anti-virus or firewall.

You mention Safe mode. Do yo have a Mac?

 Cheers, Tom 😉

Thanks for the reply!

I am running 5.1 and trying to instal the 5.1.1 upgrade. I said safe mode but I meant DFU mode. I believe iTunes called it safe mode. I have turned off my firewall and anti-virus program and I am still receiving the file corrupt message on iTunes. Also, it still will not update through the iPad general>update method.
