[garylapointe]

Interesting, after multiple tries it finally started downloading.

It got down to about 3 minutes left and still failed...

"Software Update Failed". 'An error occurred downloading iOS 9.' Anyone else getting this? UK here.

Getting that on both my 5s and 4th gen iPad. I'm in MN. I guess we wait until the server load lessens a bit to allow our devices in.

Can't update in iTunes or OTA

Hope they have added the "Open with/in" option back into Safari as it was missing in the GM version

Now it's when the complaints are going to start and the "iPhone slow" searches on Google will peak - just like every release for the last 2-3 years. Apple has become lazy and wants to push releases in time to meet deadlines - compromising software and the overall user experience. It's all about $$$ now. It's sad.

Still, there will be people claiming that Apple will have everything polished by 9.1... What about getting it right on the first release? Waiting for the next release is not an excuse.

I'm guessing you've never used a Windows machine. They push out patches every week to fix stuff they didn't fix or find when the OS initially launched.

I'm getting a software update failed message too. This is on an iPhone as well as Air 2. Both are running GM. OTA update sizes are 25.7mb and 45mb respectively

 

[JKarnsy]

I get it. It's finally out. OK. But I still need to know -- Will It Blend??

I'm in MN and it just finished downloading and is now preparing the update.

Oh hey!

27 days remaining now.

It's picking up.

Seems they're slowing down the release to keep up. Now I'm getting "iOS 8.4.1 is the latest version" after the download failed a minute ago.

 

[Wise87]

90% of this thread is people writing the same comment about the update failing. That in itself is a fail.

I agree, over 7 pages of it failed. I think we all get the message. I'm digging through it all just to get performance feedback.

 

[spytech]

For those getting errors or failed update warning: insist. or not, let me download faster Haha. 5 Minutes remaining here, managed to get the download going for more than 30 seconds.

 

[ganesh.raam]

Same here. Update Failed Error... :|

 

[whsbuss]

In iTunes on iPad, get thru all the update stuff and says its downloading but nothing is the status window - just the Apple icon.

 

[Tamagotchi]

iOS 2 - 5, Maps app, MobileMe begs to differ.
In addition, my User Experience was not compromise. It actually gotten better..

Hmm... Maybe the use of the word "compromise" isn't the best.

I'm referring to the palpable difference in performance between 8.4.1 and 9.0. iOS9 still needs a lot of polishing.

 

[muadibe]

Keep getting ..software update failed. On iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6+.

 

[johnfreeborn]

I was getting the error but just kept retrying and now it's downloading.

Well... it was downloading. But then I let the screen lock and when I unlocked it, it had failed again even though it said "9 minutes remaining" before that.

 

[mac.cali]

Receiving this error message. Even tried restarting my 6 Plus. Any suggestions?

Getting the same error.

 

[ssl0408]

Yes, this is annoying. I have tried multiple times but the error keeps popping up!!
