Why can't I upgrade to iOS 8.4 using Apple Configurator?

I am trying to update a lot of ipads at work and i usually do one then start doing them with a 16 usb port. I let it run for a couple of hours and it tries to install the new iOS 8.4 it gets about 1/4 of the way and then says. Completed with an error! Unable to download iOS 8.4. Then when i click on the i, it comes up with. Error details, The request timed out. -1001 NSURLErrorDomain and kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork.

iPad Mini, iOS 8.3, Trying to upgrade to 8.4

Hi connker3,


Check with your I.T. department's network team to see if any of Apple's update servers are being blocked. A lot of organizations (including ours) have a DNS block to prevent iOS updates on our devices. When we remove the DNS block, we can update just fine. I have been using Configurator this summer to update our fleet of iPads to iOS 8.4 without any problems, so Configurator should work for you.


Hope this answers your question!
