upgraded to a newer iOS version, you will understand that everything here is
generally easy to carryout. But there are little things that makes the update
potentially go wrong. For some of the iOS 10 troubleshooting read on below.
- Why Update is
taking too long on my iphone or ipad?
Usually, when any new iOS update is rolled out from Apple,
there is always delay in time while updating the operating system to your
device. This is because Apple’s server is very much crowded, as many persons
are also downloading from the server. And this is usually encountered more
whenever a new iOS is released to the public. Well, in order not to encounter
such, you have to wait for some time, at least when the server is free from
much load of people trying to access the new iOS. Waiting, will also protect
your device, as some bugs discovered are fixed later. And before you get to
download yours, everything must have been fixed or set properly.

- No Enough memory
space on the iphone or ipad
The problem of update not successful can be as a result of
no enough space or memory to harbor the file which is to be installed on the
device. The solution to this is to have some of your files deleted in other to accommodate
the update file. You can back them up, then after update you restore the
backup. Alternatively, you can use the method of updating your iOS through
iTunes on Mac.

that comes up for updating to newer iOS overnight can be stopped and delayed.

are at sleep, just respond and reply to the update pop by tapping on “later”
