None of these helped me either not even the "trust me" one and I am most definitely connected to the internet and have full charge on the iPad.

To delete the update, redownload it, and install the update:

Go to "Settings"

Go to "General"

Go to "Storage & iCloud Usage"

Under "Storage" or "iCloud" click on "Manage Storage"

Click the name of the update you have downloaded (I.e. "10.2.1")

Click the red letters that say "Delete..."

Then, go to "Settings" - "General" - "Software Update" - "Download and Install"


Of all of the previously mentioned strategies, this is the one that worked for me on my iPhone 6. Thanks everyone.

I was having the same issues and in reading all these posts, the above is what worked for me. It looked like I had an older version downloaded and it wouldn't run but once I deleted it as per these instructions, downloaded the current version, it ran no problem. Other than taking forever to actually install, but that's typical lol. Thanks for the help.

GOT IT WORKING I have had that error message for past 6-weeks cannot verify not connected to the internet and I finally

tried using iTunes this evening and in ITunes I typed in the search window update my Iphone SE and iTunes did everything

from there it gave me the choice of connecting wired to my in this case to a MacBook Pro or connecting to iTunes wireless

I chose "Wired just because I was already wired to my Mac and it downloaded the latest OS again and then installed it with no problems at all it did ask a few questions while installing but was installed perfectly oh ya it suggested updating iTunes first which I did, good luck I think you will be very Happy,.TR

I have this same issue and error message, however I am able to stream video, music, get emails, and browse the web with Safari and Chrome. I have tried:

  • A hard reset by holding down the power button and home button at the same time
  • Resetting the network settings
  • Having a charge over 50%
  • Being connected to a power source
  • Even tried to update through iTunes (v. 11.1)


Nothing has worked for this issue. The update through iTunes had my iPad stuck in recovery mode, which I had to use a third party software to fix that issue. I am not sure if I might be overlooking something or if Apple needs to release some type of fix for this issue.
