I have an iPhone 6s running 10.3.2 that has given me the "Software Update Failed" Error every time I try to download any update. Is there any way I can put IOS on my phone through iTunes
My IOS 11 Beta Update Won't Download
I'm having the same issue with a 7Plus.
Yes, you can download the IOS Restore image and update to IOS 11 via iTunes.
- Download the iOS beta software restore image for your device from the Apple developer download page
- Ensure you are running the latest version of iTunes on your Mac.
- Open iTunes on your Mac.
- Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your computer with the cable that came with your device.
- If a message asks for your device passcode or to Trust This Computer, follow the onscreen steps.
- Select your iPhone or iPad when it appears in iTunes.
- In the Summary panel, hold the Option key and click the Check for Update button.
- Select the iOS beta software restore image from step 1 and click Open to begin installation.
- After installing the beta, your device will reboot and will require a network connection to complete activation.
If you're at WWDC the best solution is to connect your laptop to the ethernet connectors (you can find them at the tables in Hall 1) and download the IPSW and then install it via iTunes. If you're not at WWDC please file a bug report and post the bug number here so we can follow up.
