iOS updates are not arriving, what should I do? How to update the beta version of iOS to the official (stable) How to prepare your iPhone or iPad for updating iOS.

So, you've already tried the beta version of iOS and now want to install the stable one? Here's how to do it right!

If you installed the developer or public beta version of iOS, you can upgrade to official iOS any time it becomes available. Apple may offer to update your device automatically, but you can manually install the stable version if you prefer.

Before you start

I write about this in almost every instruction and I will repeat it again: make a backup copy of iPhone before you start. It's worth spending a few minutes saving data rather than regretting it later if something goes wrong.

How to update your iPhone or iPad to the official iOS 12 if you have iOS Beta

How to update to iOS 12 if you have iOS Beta using iTunes

If you have difficulty uninstalling the beta version of iOS 12 following the instructions above. Update your device to stable iOS 12 from using iTunes installed on your computer, it's a little more complicated, but more effective.

After this, the official stable iOS will be installed on your iPhone or iPad.

Note. Make sure you select "Update" and not "Restore". The update will preserve your settings, apps, and data. Restoring will destroy all information on the device (in this case, you must have a recent backup).

Have questions?

Do you still have questions about deleting the beta version of iOS and installing the official one? Leave them in the comments and I will answer them.

Updated September 2018: Updated for iOS 12.

Removing the bug is quite simple.

On August 31, all iPhone and iPad users running any beta versions began to experience. Every time you unlock the device and every time you open the Notification Center, a pop-up message “iOS update available. Update your installed beta version of iOS 12." Fortunately, we quickly found a way to get rid of it.

Problem with the message " iOS update available. Update your installed beta version of iOS 12“appeared to all iPhone and iPad users with a beta version of iOS 12 installed. The message, which many users had to close dozens of times, appears even on older beta versions of iOS 12.

However, there is a very simple way to get rid of such messages. To do this, you just need to move the date back one day. Immediately after this, the pop-up message asking you to update to a non-existent firmware will disappear.

Of course, some users this method won't do. In particular, for those who actively use the Calendar application. When you rearrange the system date on iPhone and iPad, the dates of events in the calendar will automatically shift. However, at the moment this is the only working way to remove annoying messages.

Apple is expected to resolve the issue within 24 hours.

Hi all! Every year Apple updates operating system for your mobile devices - this is good. And every year she fails to do this without making mistakes - this is bad. And although iOS 11 was released quite recently (and at the time of writing, it is still in the preliminary beta testing stage), every user can install it and “touch it” - what new thing has Apple prepared for us?

True, both at the installation stage and during use, with the iOS 11 update on iPhone and iPad, problems may arise. various problems. Some of them are serious, some are simpler.... In general, we need to understand and correct all this disgrace. How? And I'll tell you now. Let's go quickly and decisively!

Some useful information:

• Be sure to back up all data - or .

Devices that can install iOS 11

Not all gadgets support Apple's new operating system; the update is available for:

If you don’t find any mention of your device in the table, then, unfortunately, iOS 11 is not available to you.

Error: "Checking for iOS 11 updates failed"

So, you haven’t installed the firmware yet (you just expressed a desire) - the problems are already at the very beginning. And they are that:

An error occurred while checking for a software update.

It turns out that the iPhone or iPad is not found new firmware(although it exists!). How to fix it?

1. Check your internet connection. Use another Wi-Fi network For loading.
2. If this is a beta version, then check for the presence of the corresponding profile. If the final result is the absence of any profiles.
3. Try updating via iTunes.

You also need to remember that at the time of firmware release a huge number of people try to download new version software. Apple's servers cannot withstand this and malfunctions are possible (). In this case, we cannot do anything - we can only wait.

Error downloading update

So, the iPhone or iPad “saw” iOS 11 and started downloading it. However, even here a surprise may await us in the form of an update download error.

What are the reasons for this behavior?

1. There is not enough memory on the device. If the download occurs “over the air”, then you need to make room for the software installation file. Don't want to delete anything? Use iTunes.
2. Unstable or weak Internet connection - interruptions during downloading.
3. The notorious overload of Apple servers. We wait a while and try again.

Don't want to wait for the glitches to pass? You can always “deceive” Apple and download the firmware from third-party resources (for example, w3bsit3-dns.com), and then “slip” it into iTunes. how to do it.

iOS 11 won't install

So, we have finally downloaded the new version of the software and everything is ready for installation. We begin to install and... two options are possible:

What can be done?

1. Hard reboot the device.
2. Check the battery charge - it should be more than 50%.
3. Again, pay attention to your Internet connection.

Nothing helps? Is everything frozen and the bar doesn’t move for a long time? and update via iTunes - this is the only way to “revive” the device.

Update to iOS 11 via iTunes - recovery failed

This error is especially relevant for those who constantly use beta versions of software. So, when you try to “roll back” to a stable version of the firmware via iTunes, you may encounter the fact that the iPhone or iPad “hangs on the cord” and the restoration will fail.

What to do?

1. Enter the device into DFU mode.
2. Download the previous version of the firmware (if you have the 2nd beta installed, download the 1st).
3. Connect to iTunes, hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) and click the Restore button.
4. Select the downloaded firmware.

After installation, connect to iTunes again and restore the device as usual.

Perhaps on this moment this is all. Since iOS 11 is now in the testing stage, consider “glitches and bugs” in iPhone work or the iPad doesn't make sense - there are too many of them. But if they remain after the release of the final version, I will add to this article.

P.S. Be sure to write in the comments about the errors that you encountered - we will try to figure it out and find a suitable solution!

P.S.S. The secret way to get rid of all malfunctions is to “like” and click on the buttons social networks. Worth a try!:)

In anticipation of the release of the long-awaited update, it's time to prepare your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch for the transition to the new OS. Unless, of course, you plan to update your device. In this article we will tell you how to check a smartphone or tablet for compatibility with iOS 10, “clean” the device, make backup and perform other necessary procedures.

1. Check compatibility

iOS 10 is designed for models with the latest generation processors. Attempts to make the operating system compatible with older versions of the iPhone and iPad would inevitably cause problems. As a result, it would be necessary to create a separate version of the OS for them, effectively served by outdated hardware.

List of supported iOS 10 devices along with the release of the first beta in June. “Ten” will be able to be installed by all owners of gadgets on which iOS 9 is currently deployed, with the exception of iPhone 4s, iPad mini, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPod touch 5G.

List of devices supported by iOS 10:

• iPhone SE
• iPhone 6s Plus
• iPhone 6s
• iPhone 6 Plus
• iPhone 6
• iPhone 5s
• iPhone 5c
• iPhone 5

• iPad Pro 12.9
• iPad Pro 9.7
• iPad Air 2
• iPad Air
• iPad mini 4
• iPad mini 3
• iPad mini 2
• iPad 4

• iPod touch 6G

The list of compatible devices does not include outdated models. As Apple said, owners of smartphones and tablets released in 2011 and 2012, respectively, will not be able to count on updating to iOS 10. Moreover, some of the operating system’s capabilities will not be available on Apple smartphones and tablets of previous generations. But overall they will remain part of the updated ecosystem.

2. Have you installed the beta version of iOS 10? Update to iOS 10 GM or downgrade to iOS 9.3.5

Some iPhone and iPad users have already updated their devices to the beta version of iOS 10, but not everyone knows that any test firmware has an expiration date, after which the device will turn into a “brick.” As a result, you will have to update to the official version, or roll back the device to iOS 9. Therefore, do not wait until the last minute and update right now to iOS 10 GM, or downgrade.

It is worth understanding that you will not be able to install the GM assembly “over the air”. Formally, this firmware is intended for developers and is installed on the gadget via iTunes. The public version of iOS 10 will be available for installation directly from a mobile device.

3. Clean your device

Before installing iOS 10, it makes sense to part with unused games and applications. This measure is not mandatory, but it never hurts to get rid of unnecessary software before installing a major update. Deleting software from your device, you do not lose anything - you can restore any application from the App Store.

In general, preparing for an update is a great opportunity to tidy up your device. ABOUT unnecessary applications was said above, but you can also delete temporary files, cache, web surfing history, cookies, logs and other garbage. You can find out more about this in the articles:

Using the proposed software, you can free up from 500 MB to 5 GB on your iPhone and iPad in a couple of minutes.

4. Install updates from the App Store

On devices with a large number of third party applications it is recommended to install Latest updates from the App Store. During the testing phase of iOS 10, many developers released new versions of the software. Having installed current versions Software, you can be sure that applications are compatible with iOS 10. You can download updates in the App Store -> Update section.

5. Check available space

An iOS 10 file weighs about 2 GB, and you must have at least 2.5 GB of free memory on your device to install the OS. This does not mean that the ten takes up more space - the additional space is needed to unpack files and perform the update process. You can find out the amount of available memory on your iPhone and iPad in the General -> About this device menu.

By the way, iOS 10 weighs much less previous versions. For example, a 128 GB iPhone with installed iOS 9 offers users only 113 GB of free memory, after installing iOS 10 this figure will increase to 122 GB. On a 16 GB iPhone with iOS 9, 11.9 GB is available, and after installing iOS 10 - 12.85 GB.

6. Back up your data

Many users use an iOS device as their main gadget for taking photos and videos. And hardly anyone wants to lose important moments of their life, captured in digital images, by unsuccessfully updating the firmware. To keep your photos or videos safe, it is recommended that you make a backup copy. This can be done through iTunes and iCloud. This will increase your chances of successfully recovering information in the event of loss.

iTunes: connect mobile device to your computer, launch iTunes, select it in top panel and click Create Backup.

iCloud: On iPhone and iPad, go to Settings -> iCloud -> Backup -> iCloud Backup.

Always create backups before updating the software on your devices. This applies to all major updates such as iOS 10.

7. Jailbreak?

MacDigger monitors jailbreak trends in the Apple world, so our first duty is to warn users of jailbroken iPhones and iPads that there are currently no exploits for iOS jailbreak 10. When upgrading to a new OS, you will lose your current jailbreak. However, it is not possible to return to iOS 9.3.3.

Rumor has it that the hackers are from Pangu. However, this information should still be classified as rumors. You should wait for official statements and then update your iPhone and iPad to the new OS. The best option now is to stay on iOS 9.3.3 until it becomes clear whether a jailbreak for iOS 10 will be released or not. Everything should be resolved within a few days after the update is released.

8. Wait for the release

After completing the above steps, you will only have to wait until September 13th and install the OS. To install iOS 10 on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, all you need to do is go to the operating system settings and in the General -> Software Update menu, confirm the firmware download.

“An iOS update is available. Please update your installed beta version of iOS 12.” If you were in a hurry to update your iOS mobile operating system, you have probably encountered such a message in the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Or maybe hundreds? Starting yesterday, it constantly appeared on the screen of iOS gadgets immediately after they were unlocked or any touch on the notification tray.

Fortunately, Apple has now released a new iOS 12 update, without the above-described bug. If you open your iPhone's settings now, you'll see that iOS 12 open beta (12 developer beta) is available for download. Once you do this, the unpleasant, constant signal - about an update that doesn't even exist - will disappear.

Guillermo Rambo was able to determine what went wrong with the latest beta version of iOS 12. The system simply thought that its operating time was running out, and therefore displayed a message about an urgent update.

"It appears that the system is doing some kind of date/time calculation in Springboard to determine whether the current build is about to expire each time the panel is closed. For some reason, the latest iOS 12 build suggests it will stop working soon."
