Ok on my iPod touch 6, looks to affect only A9 devices.

I've stopped updating my other devices anyway.

Seems so. I'll update my iPad mini 2 in that case then.

 

[Oli]

IPad mini 3 updated and running great.

iPhone SE is bricked... nice.

 

[diablos991]

Anybody actually connect to iTunes to see what is needed? We looking at a wipe here?

 

[cchum]

iTunes ain't recognizing the phone (got that message twice now) and I have no idea how long it will be "downloading software"....this ain't good.

Tabris is running through it now. He'll update us shortly.

 

[Got the Shakes]

This is so useful

It's super cool honestly. Also, it looks gorgeous.

A decent amount of apps that have updated in the past day have added a widget to the icon if you 3D Touch on it. Pretty handy indeed.

 

[pbsapeer]

ive connected to itunes and got the option of "update to iOS 9.5.1" or "restore iPhone"
it says its downloading the old iOS but i dont have a status bar or anything....

EDIT Just seen the download button top right of itunes (shows how often i use it)

 

[Sai-kun]

[icespide]

welp

Please help me. I spilled tea on my Mac 2 weeks ago and the computer doesn't work. Waiting to buy the new MacBook Air in October.

Now I updated my iPhone 6S and it wants me to connect to iTunes. How do I fix this?

PS. I have a Mac computer that belongs to my dad. Should I use that?

Even if I choose "restore" from itunes, that doesn't work either. It tries to download some version of ios9 and the errors out from that. There is literally no solution.

Stole this from MacRumors

NOTES
What's happening?
The OTA update version might be corrupted. The update will download completely, verify prior to install, go into the Apple update screen, then crash into the "Plug into iTunes" screen. The update bar went as far as about 75% - 80%.

Who is affected?
So far, only iPad Pros, iPhone 6S / S+ and iPhone SEs have complained of corrupt installs. All of those who have complained used OTA updates, so it may affect more.

What do I do?
1.) DO NOT USE OTA UPDATES - it's the most common culprit in the bunch. Avoid it like the plague.
2.) IF YOU ARE UPDATING, USE USB + iTUNES. Those who have been successful have used the iTunes download. Slower, but working.
3.) IF YOU ARE BRICKED - Plug into iTunes and use "Update" to clear out your problem. You don't need to do a full restore, thankfully. I've done a simple update and everything worked swimmingly.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I can't believe this happened again. Apple, what the FUCK are you even doing

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Someone needs to create a PSA thread telling iPhone users to just hold off for a little while.

 

[pbsapeer]

phone just disconnected and reconnected. told me to download iOS again and says it cant re download as its already downloading. WELP says its in "recovery mode"

Thanks, trying #3 right now. Ridiculous.

iTunes isn't recognizing my phone *shrug*

 

[Interfectum]

iPad Pro bricked... my iPhone 6 might be as well. Amazing. lol

Holy hell.
It's a wipe.

 

[Tabris]

Man I used to remember when trying to download iOS updates via iTunes on launch day was a constant string of errors for hours before finally getting it through.

Apple has definitely improved that.

lol, I can't believe the timing of me saying this :O

Update your iTunes to fix this.

 

[Enco]

You need the latest iTunes to get the option to update to iOS 10.

 

[jwick]

People using the term "bricked" for anything that means "can't use my phone" is amusing.

 

[pbsapeer]

we all getting iPhone 7's for free for the incovenience???

 

[Mandelbo]

Someone needs to create a PSA thread telling iPhone users to just hold off for a little while.

I'll do it if no one else does.

Jury's still out on whether my 5S will make it through the update!

 

[broncobuster]

How do I stop this download? Or should I expect it to go off in 2 minutes?

Well for now staying off wifi

 

[TK-421]

Try putting it into DFU mode: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263

 

[Spitz]

Both my iPhone SE and my iPad Pro require iTunes to fix the Update great Job Apple.

 

[Illusive_Juan]

It's still downloading the update for me OTA, but it's almost done.

I don't remember, does it install right away or does it ask you to verify?

 

[VonGreckler]

It should ask you to verify.

i think i have the latest version... but its not an option atm, do you mean with a bricked phone?

 

[diablos991]

It asks. But if you don't choose in 10 seconds or so it automatically installs.

 

[mrklaw]

Wow I guess I got lucky. Updated both my 6S+ and iPad Pro 9.7 just fine

 

[NekoFever]

People using the term "bricked" for anything that means "can't use my phone" is amusing.

Seriously. Your phone isn't bricked.

 

[Dany]

What I love most about a new iOS coming out is all the app updates! Feels like devs hold back their updates until the new iOS comes out.

 

[epmode]

Oh good, I was able to stop my update before it finished downloading.

To do it, turn off wifi and cellular (if you have it), go to Settings > General > Storage and iCloud usage > Manage storage, find iOS 10, delete it, hard reboot the device

 

[empyrean]

I did an OTA updated on a 6s and it borked it, now plugging into iTunes to hopefully fix it.

 

[Jigolo]

*little box*
iOS10 will install in 10, 9 , 8,

Install Now | Install Later





// So automatic

 

[The Wraith]

I got an iPhone 6+ can I update thru iTunes and not get a "bricked" phone?

 

[borghe]

i think i have the latest version... but its not an option atm, do you mean with a bricked phone?

Unless you updated today, you don't have the most recent one.

iTunes with iOS 10 support just dropped today. If your phone is not updating, download iTunes today, then plug your phone into your computer.

 

[Ambitious]

Wait, have they removed the option to group notifications by app?

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Damn. Read these late. It's installing....

 

[Tabris]

I got an iPhone 6+ can I update thru iTunes and not get a "bricked" phone?

Yeah, seems to just be OTA updates.

By the way, my update worked when I selected "Update" via iTunes with my "bricked" iPhone 6S from the OTA update.

 

[Kuno]

I did an OTA update on my iPhone 6 Plus and it worked fine. So it can be done!

 

[neshcom]

Anyone having connectivity issues with iCloud Music Library on desktop iTunes? Is the iOS update so huge that it's affecting AMusic?

 

[subrock]

What I love most about a new iOS coming out is all the app updates! Feels like devs hold back their updates until the new iOS comes out.

We can't really submit updates until a week before, so it's not really holding back as much as it is getting them in as soon as possible.

 

[cchum]

welp

You'll get time and a half for overtime right?

 

[Enco]

i think i have the latest version... but its not an option atm, do you mean with a bricked phone?

I updated iTunes on my desktop and then when it prompted me to update my phone it said to 10.0.1

Download is slow as hell though. What a waste...

 

[VonGreckler]

Just updated my phone through iTunes after getting the error through OTA and it worked. iPhone 6s

 

[TK-421]

Update: My iPhone 6S bricked OTA, but as per my post above, after connecting to iTunes and reinstalling my phone is back to normal.

Whew! Backing up now and never installing another OTA update again first.
