Update: Apple has posted an official workaround for the “Slide to Upgrade” bug…
While Apple has officially released iOS 9 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, several readers are reporting issues with updating to the new operating system. Developers using the iOS 9 GM seed released last week are also able to update to today’s release over-the-air, although the same error message is impacting those users.
Earlier today Apple announced that it was delaying the release of watchOS 2 for Apple Watch, although iOS 9 was not delayed. It’s likely, however, that the current issues with updating over-the-air are related to server load and not pulling the release. Other users are still seeing the previous iOS 8.4.1 version and unable to attempt to update just yet. For my own update to iOS 9 GM to the released version of iOS 9, rebooting my iPhone 6 and checking Software Update in Settings resolved the issue.
As with any major release, the best troubleshooting solution is likely being patient and letting Apple’s servers catch up. In the meantime, some but not all users are reporting some success with updating using iTunes.
We’ll keep an eye on the current updating issues and share the latest with you. If you’re experiencing these issues then you’re not alone, and let us know in the comments how your update process is going.

Anyone having any luck? I heard through iTunes works but stuck with no computer here. Any suggestions?
Just tried using iTunes. It doesn’t work.
just download true itunes it works now i am runing ios 9
if it happens, just click on settings and it will take you back to the “download and install” option…select it again and BOOM! THAT’S IT!
I tried through iTunes. The update was downloaded, then the install process began. The iPhone was restarted and “ta-da”!! I’m still using iOS 8. I don’t understand what happened. Everything looks like ok but the update was not installed.
Have tried numerous times since 1:00p.m. (EDT) – at first it got to 2 minutes left – PHAIL!
Every time since – PHAIL!
Phone is plugged in and WiFi is Strong Like Bull!
Phone pre-order was successful –iOS 9 update is a PHAIL!
*Fail
No – PHAIL!
Now downloading OTA – with 44 Minutes remaining. Don’t have my laptop here so it’s OTA or wait until I get home.
And – Another FAILURE!
Now – after about 30 retries – 3 complete shut downs and reboots – my phone is at about “2 Minutes Remaining.”
I. Hope. It. Works!
Down to 1 minute left.
28 seconds remaining!
SUCCESS! “Preparing Update!”
:)
Update – after downloading and preparing – took about 25 minutes to install. 25 nerve-racking-minutes, as the phone showed the normal line, sliding left-to-right – but then it sat at the far right for about 10 minutes, rebooted and the dull Apple sat there for another 10 minutes – with the line underneath, doing nothing. Finally, the 6Plus (128 GB unlocked) did reboot and come up with the “new Phone Screens” and after answering the usual Apple setup questions, it did start – all the Apps were there, but it seemed very slow in responsiveness. 1 reboot and everything feels good to go.
Be patient and just let it do it’s thing. YMMV
use itunes it work for me
I was having this issue when i tried at 1pm EST. First few attempts threw that error, but i kept trying and its been running now for about 10 minutes. Keeping an eye on it in case i have to restart it if it fails. Fingers crossed though.
I am currently having this issue. I have the iOS9 GM seed on my phone and iOS9 Beta 3 on my iPad. Neither can update to the iOS9 Public release
I am not able to pull it via iTunes at all – it still notes that 8.4.1 is the latest Version.
And OverTheAir, I receive the noted Error Message.
you need to restart your phone. it will work after that
Hi, update by iTunes is working.
Through iTunes it’s currently downloading, OTA update, failed every time.
So far it looks like that only through iTunes can you do the update error free.
I actually was able to update from GM to public release immediately – guess its because I hit it right at 10
They always, always, always have server issues, usually for hours when they first launch a new OS.
No problem for me. Installed through iPhone and not iTunes.
Got that error, but just plugged into my Mac and she is downloading like a champ.
my itunes is showing 8.4.1 is the most up to date iOS. Failing on OTA
Restart your iPhone. That should fix the iTunes update.
I couldn’t get OTA update to work on any devices, but updating through iTunes works fine.
I just got an error while trying to update
‘TOO MUCH STORAGE TO UPDATE, YOURE GOING TO HAVE TO DOWNLOAD MORE APPS BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH STORAGE
lol
Both iPhone & iPad on 8.4.1, get the error message on the iPhone, iPad is updating as we speak. Weird.
Probably different update packages. The iTunes download is different as well. Over the air was 1G for me through iTunes it is 1.84G..
That’s even weirder to me.
With iTunes they don’t have to compress everything would be my guess.
That’s cause updates on-device are Delta updates
that too.
Use iTunes, OTA NOT WORKING
Had the same issue. Updating through iTunes works. Mine is updating now.
My iPad is updating. Old iPod (4th Gen) is updating. Everything else (iPhone 5s, iPhone 5, iPad Mini, couple others) are throwing the error.
The touch 4th Gen with 3.5inch Screen is stuck on iOS 6.1.6 –
only the touch 5th Gen or current 6th Gen, with the larger 4inch Screen are iOS9 eligible !
OTA shows 1GB while on iTunes it shows 1.84GB
Same thing happened to me with each public beta. Keeping iPhone/iPad unlocked and showing download screen was effective.
For anyone who has tried the iOS 9 GM release and is updating to this public release, do let people like me know if you find any differences between the both of them.
I can confirm that iTunes works just fine.
Anyone else just sitting at home, being on iOS 9.1 Public Beta?
Was so excited for watchOS 2 :(
I was going to ask that. If we are on beta 9.1 we should just skip the 9.0 public release? 9.1 beta is running fantastic for me on my 6 and iPad Air 2
But how to be sure if this release of iOS squashes any bugs that iOS 9.1 Beta might still have. I just want to have the least buggy release possible on my device. As per my experiences of using the betas for iOS 9 and 9.1 go I have not really found much differences. May be because there aren’t much (new emojis and ‘Hey Siri’ feature)
iOS 9.1 works just totally fine for me. I’m not noticing a single bug besides some Apple Music issues that are due to the service itself not to the OS.
I won’t downgrade to iOS 9.0, I assume the next iteration of 9.1 beta will have everything 9.0 final has + whatever makes it 9.1
Yeah, same here. “iOS9.1 Your software is up to date.” It makes me wonder if I’m on the final version without knowing it! Everything is working fine, tho.
No luck with OTA but managed to update all my devices from GM to new update via iTunes.
Just tried using iTunes. It doesn’t work.
Yeah, my iTunes is saying 8.4.1 is the latest version too, so can’t update that way.
Update error on OTA, tried few times, trying iTunes on windows and so far so good, but the update is larger at 2.04GB v/s 1.2GB OTA
How did you get access to it? Mine says 8.4.1 is the latest version.
Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed or are you at work where they might be blocking the update site/server?
Just plugged in my iPhone 6+ plus and opened iTunes, a pop up window came up with the message that software update for iPhone is available.
Restarting my iPhone fixed the latest version issue through iTunes
restart your iPhone. Fixed the issue for me!
from the Dev. devices i’m fine updated, but from 8.4.1 can’t update still, getting the same error, even after starting to download, it will stop and give the same error
It’s not working for me either. It said 23 minutes when I tried at 1:02 PM but after that I just keep getting error messages.
It’s easy, simply must put the device in DFU mode.
Working for me,using iTunes
1:30pm Eastern, still getting the error message on both iPhone & iPad. What’s the deal with the Watch OS delay?
Installing now! Had the issue for about a dozen times, but kept trying and it finally started downloading. Now the download has finished and the install has started! I suppose the error was just due to the extraordinarily high server pressure over the first couple of minutes the update was released. This happens almost every time when a brand new firmware gets released by Apple.
ins’t the version released today the same as GM released last week?
9.0 GM seed – Dev. Build 13A340 (Sept. 09th 2015)
today we receive Build 13A344
Apple also updated the GM links on the Dev site to 344 too.
OTA not working. DL thru iTunes working fine ..
Please download it via itunes. Seems likeOTA is not working at all.
OTA Failed, i have plugged it into iTunes. I have a wired 240MB download connection and iTunes is telling me the download of iOS 9 will take 6 hours. Apple need to sort their stuff out pronto
I did not get this kinda issue. Its downloading quite fast
It’s not working for me, iPhone 6. I tried with iTunes and it’s downloading.
This exact same thing happened to me from GM version, it returned an error message. I was surprised that I had an update already running GM, must have some additional bug fixes.
if it happens, just click on setings and it will take you back to the “downlaod and install” option…select it again and BOOM! THAT’S IT!
Mine seems to be downloading OTA now. Both on iPhone and iPad
Was getting the same error. Turned off wi-fi, unplugged power. Turned on wi-fi again and now it works.
its fixed I’m in haiti
It requires at least 1GB of free storage space. I got the same error message, but it has been resolved now.
I’ve downloaded now installing on 6 plus through iTunes
If you press the “Settings” option after a failure, then immediately try to download again, it will work. I tried this from the US on an iPad Mini 2 and iPhone 6. The settings option will not take you anywhere, it will just dismiss the dialog box.
OTA IS WORKING NOW!!
Try plugging it in. It worked fine for me.
It’s working for me now
Working
I came to it, you have to: turn off the password and ID, and disable the touch find my iPhone
9 minutes remaining! Hope it doesn’t crash again!!
just tried again and it worked
OTA works for me from iOS 9 GM now. Downloaded in few minutes.
I had zero problems updating my iPad Mini 2, 35 minutes start to finish. Then got the “Software Update failed” message for three attempts. Waited about team minutes, tried again, download succeeded, now about 25 minutes into the install.
Yeah worked for me after a few times clicking.
it happens a million times but i got it to work i have ios 9 now
Help! I was in the middle of updating my iPhone5 to iOS 9, and it asked me to allow location updates, which I did, and then it brought me to a white screen with the “slide to upgrade” bar flashing across the bottom. But I can’t slide it and nothing is happening. I can’t even turn off my phone and restart it!
First of all, iOS 9 software update is 1 GB download and not 42.3 MB. I was facing this error in morning but now it is fine. I downloaded the update and it is working fine.
OTA worked fine on my Air 2 and iPhone 6. Maybe because had GM on them?
Just updated with Ipad Air 2 on iTunes. No issues and took only 20-25 mins
In the UK: updated via iTunes. ios9 doesn’t have News app in the UK (though existing apps moved into a normal, non-Newstand folder). Also, Content Blockers setting missing from Settings > Safari > General and the content blockers that I know about aren’t visible in the UK App Store.
I live in Ireland and its missing also
To follow this up, as of 10pm UK time content blockers are in the app store and working. I’ve seen one person claim to be able to use the news app here, by restarting and toggling between regions, but I can’t reproduce that.
Had the same issue, just do it through iTunes and it goes right through.
Have managed to shut down twice, and I keep getting to the “slide to upgrade” flashing on an all-white screen, but I cannot slide it. My only option is to turn it off, and then I’m back to the same problem. My phone is not usable right now. Does anyone know what to do?
I do have the same problem, have you manage to solve it? thanks
Did you get any further with this. I have the same issue. on my sons iPad mini.
I had the same issue with an iPad Mini 2. My fix was just simply closing all apps and restarting the iPad. After restart the update worked perfectly.
Just to confirm, has anyone been able to do the OTA update from 9.1 Beta to the new 9.0 today?
You cannot update 9.1 Beta to 9.0 final build
I mean you cannot do OTA update from 9.1 Beta to 9.0 final build.
All updated in the UK and looks awesome! Split screen is amazing, and the trackpad selection on the keyboard just superb. No News app though, thought it was coming with iOS 9, was looking forward to it. My Air 2 feels brand new, just waiting until around the 9th October for my 6S Plus 📱😀
Should have the News app, got it on mine and also in the UK. Think I’ve got a Plus coming on release day :)
Both of my devices are updated now. I had the problem at first but eventually the updates went through. Such a nice change seeing 1GB update to a totally new build of iOS.
Got mine through Itunes 30 min after announcement.
4 tries and then installed without any issues. Presumed like many software downloads, system just busy. Just retried till it worked
Has been working for last 2 hours without any furthers concerns
No extra memory freed up oh well
My iPhone updated. But “phone app” doesn’t work. To make a call I have to open contacts app and then make a call from it. Anyone has the same problem? Or I’m lucky?
Downloading… 12 hours remaining. LOL
Perform a hard reset on your device and then it will work.
mine downloaded fine the first time using over the air…
I can’t get it to work via over the air or connected to iTunes. I assume they are working to solve the issues at hand.
have you gotten it to work?
Just did the ota update on my iPad mini with no issues and only took about 10 mins to install
also did the ota update on my iPhone 6 and no issues with that install either
I have an iPhone 6 Plus. IOS 9 downloaded and started to install fine.
I got to the 2nd black screen with a bar at the bottom, and it is stuck there. Nothing happens with the bar.
Help!!!!!!
Same did you find a resolution yet
That is the same problem I’m having now!!! It says slide to update and it won’t let me slide or go any further at all!
i have the same issue did you find the resolution on how to fix it??
Were you able to resolve this issue? Mine has been stuck there since last night. I tried to reboot in recovery mode and start over but still no luck.
my 6plus downloaded iOS 9 and installed. however, at the “finalizing screen” after rebooting, no progress was made for more than 30 minutes. It just seems hanging there without any progress until now. how could this problem be overcome. while typing, i am downloading iOS 9 to my iTune. Kindly help. thanks.
I have managed to download iOS 9 but it pops up with this message when I try to install it :/
I had an issue trying while connected to an AT&T wifi hotspot. 30 minutes later I was on a private hotspot and no issues. I’m wondering if some company-provided hotspots limit large downloads.
See I thought that might be the issue for me as well with my university wifi but my iPad mini that has the beta software updated just fine while my iPhone kept saying “an unexpected error occurred”
ios9 upgrade worked for me. I did it using only the phone, I didn’t go thru itunes fwiw.
I Found the solution!!! Disactivate the auto lock screen! And that’s it
Didn’t work for me. :(
My son just tried to update his iPhone 5 with the new ioS9 and the update says complete, but then opens a screen that gets stuck on Slide to Upgrade. Anyone know how to fix? What do you mean “disactivate?” and how do you do that if you can’t get past the “slide to upgrade” screen.
im having the same issue did you find a way to fix it and if you did what did you do because my 5s is still stuck on the slide to the right and im not sure what to do
installed fine first time through iPhone not iTunes, but i don’t have the new News App? and it isn’t on app store…
me too, i dont get the news app too
So you are not seeing the news app most likely because of your location….. the news apps is only available in certain countries atm
I installed just barely and it won’t let me get past the “slide to upgrade”. I’ve tried shutting it off several times and it makes me go through the motions again until I reach that same spot of slide to upgrade. Very annoying. Not sure how to resolve?
I have the same problem, anyone find solution?
im stuck on the white ‘slide to upgrade’ screen been on it for about an hour now
Mine is too! Has yours sorted itself out?
I have the same issue. How did you fix it?
Im stuck on the white ‘slide to upgrade’ too, did you ever get passed it Gem?
mine is exactly the same and has been throughout the whole night so now unable to use my phone! dont know what to do!
me too and have been for last 5 hours, any luck?? :O
Mine too. How did you fix it
I get the exact same error – ipad is now a brick.
Have you fixed it yet? I’m having the same problem.
I’m having the exact same problem with my 5s. Did you find any solution?
Exact same problem for me!!!! HELP?
https://www.reddit.com/r/ios9/comments/3l7nt8/slide_to_upgrade_freeze_iphone_5c/
It might help!
Worked fine for me through iTunes, all upgraded. Didn’t work OTA through iOS though
All Numbers / Pages / Keynote data gone. New Numbers spreadsheet not shared across devices. Notes iCloud data accessible. I had updated the app yesterday, data was still accessible.
I have an iPhone 5 with the iOs 9 beta since june, and i can’t upgrade the released version of iOs 9!!! what can i do?
It updated fine on my iPad but not on the mini. No idea why. Ideas??
I have been using the GM Candidate since it’s release.
But, I don’t have the option to upgrade to the non-beta iOS 9.
I am currently on 9.1 Beta, but not sure if this entitles me to all the features and removal of any bugs/issues.
When I try to download iOS 9 on my Mac/iTunes it says “the resource was not found”
Not sure if this is just me or other people are experiencing the same thing.
I’m experiencing the same issue. Currently on iOS 9.1 Beta, it doesn’t even give me the option to get iOS 9
Did you delete the ios 9 beta profile then reboot and check for a new update with that profile removed?
My 6 worked no issues, I had to do a fresh restore the the 6 plus using DFU mode as it locked up after report on the OTA update.
Not working says the same thing as the above picture and it’s really frustrating
Are you kidding me, my update was 1GB, how in the world are people getting to download this with only 42.3mb????
Also my storage in icloud went down from 2.7gb available space to 1.4GB, why I don’t know
I have taken a screen shot of that to prove it
is anyone else having similiar issue????
It’s 42.3 because they’re already on a beta (Gold Master?) build. See the font on the dialog box, it actually looks nice. As for the storage, I would need to see the screenshots to see what is taking up the space.
My iPhones 5 & 5S updated to 9.0 with no drama within one hour… App folders intact, AOK.
iPad 3 is updating as I write this comment. Fingers crossed :-)
Also don’t have this new NEWS app which every video on youtube shows people using
not on app store
btw i am using Iphone 6 if that makes difference
So you are not seeing the news app most likely because of your location….. the news apps is only available in certain countries atm
Had the problem. Updated via iTunes with no problem there.
Not working connected to iTunes on my PC. Will try OTA. Won’t even download on PC. “We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The requested resource was not found…. Please try again later.”
Downloaded and installed to iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPad but the app store doesn’t display new updates. I know there will be apps to update but they’re not showing.
Well try to check for updates using iTunes desktop app…
It started working fine later in the day
I am stuck with log into iTunes logo while updating my iPhone 6 to ios 9. am in a fix….what to do
Same with me.
help…my ipad says download successful but I seem to be stuck in a loop when it comes to putting in apple id. It says just a few more steps before you begin and then it goes back to the start again ‘hello’ aaarrrggghhhh
I get this message after update downloads and installs:
The iPhone “xxxx iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 12.2.2 or later. Would you like to download the latest version of iTunes now?
But it did install. Unsure if I can keep syncing to iTunes without upgrading it (which I don’t want to do).
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
I can not find the news app on my phone after upgrading what do I do?
So you are not seeing the news app most likely because of your location….. the news apps is only available in certain countries atm
i just updated my iPhone 6 and now when I can a text message there is no SOUND to alert me!! already rebooted phone and that didn’t correct it, also my keep getting UPDATE FAILED when I try to update my iPad,
Downloaded and installed with no problem but Microsoft Outlook App won’t run. I use this app instead of Mail and Calendar so I will be lost without it.
If you have problems updating your phone, I suggest you use iTunes to backup and restore iPhone, the only solution I can think of!
Went fine on the iPad Mini, stalled four times and got that error message on a 5C.
my friend just tried installing iOS 9 and for the last 5 hours her phone keeps restarting the install progress when it reaches about halfway. Anyone else have this issue now or before?
did you ever find a fix for this issue?
I have found critical bugs in iOS9. How can I report them?
Apple.com/feedback
It’s great for me :)
I was able to download and update without issue. However, now the issue I am having is with the cellular restriction not truly restricting. When you go to cellular then to the applications and turn off all the apps that you do not want accessing cellular and then you go to restrictions and enable restrictions. Then go to Cellular and select DO NOT ALLOW CHANGES. Now once that is done you go to cellular and all the applications do not have the on/off switch grayed out (change restricted). In ios 8 these switches were Grayed out and could not be changed as long as the restriction was enabled. As such the applications can have the cellular turned on even though the setting is set to DO NOT ALLOW CHANGES. The Interesting thing is that if you go to settings then scroll to applications and then select an application the cellular switch is grayed out but could still be changed under the cellular menu. This a a flaw that could lead parents to data usage charges that they are assuming are restricted.
I still can’t update my iPad 2… it is stuck at 8.4.1…. driving me nuts! Any suggestions?
My phone is stuck on the slide to upgrade please help
Have tried several times to update to IOS9 for iphone 5s, but each attempt has been unsuccessful. I did, however, successfully update to IOS9 on my Ipad with no issues. Need to resolve the iphone 5s issue.
I can’t on my iPad Air 2 HELP!!!!
I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 6, I tried to update my iPad OTA firstly, but it stuck on verifying update and it seems the update will never be finished. I have tried reboot it, but the update was not done. I followed sone guide to put my iPad into recovery mode, and I finally tried to update via iTunes, it worked!
Still not loading and I’ve been trying since 10 am this morning and now it’s 8pm!!!
<slide to upgrade message after successfully installing the software won't slide. upgrading on the 4s. been with customer support with att for hours resetting and restoring while they held my hand, still no success. I'm essentially locked out of my phone.
Fail to install via iTune reporting “unknown error 1671” phone is showing cable and red iTunes icon. Not sure how to restore back.
My phone has remained on the apple screen since I updated my phone at 4:30 today. I put it in recovery mode, restored it, and updated it, and it is back to where it started.
Mine is freezing on the “slide to upgrade” screen. I keep rebooting it and it keeps stopping there. It won’t let me slide.. My phone is completely useless.
Hello Casey, is your phone okay now? Just encountered the ‘slide to upgrade’ thing right after installing. Can’t open my iPad, please help…
Nope, still having the same issue. I went into restore mode (I think that’s what it’s called.. I held the Home and Lock buttons down till it shut off, then kept holding the Home button down) and was able to restore my phone through iTunes. I thought it would work, but after the restore completed, I chose to restore my backup from iTunes. Then I ran into the same problem: Slide to Upgrade Freeze. I’m going to do that process over again but this time choose to program it as a new phone. Gonna be a pain – if it even works – because I’ll lose all my data, but it’s better than having a phone that’s totally useless. I can’t do it till I get home from work tho b/c it requires WiFi and I don’t have that at work. This is so frustrating!
I installed IOS 9 and after I can’t open the slide lock screen to start the phone, Can any one advice please?
same issue with my iphone 6
went to upgrade iPhone 6. Followed directions, all seemed fine through accept conditions etc and now my screen is stuck on a picture of the lighting plug pointing to iTunes logo. I unplugged powered off an on the computer and iPhone and then plugged back into the lighting to USB on my computer. The computer doesn’t see the phone and therefore iTunes doesn’t show the phone. Phone is stuck and useless – picture on phone for last hour. computer: Windows 10
I tried to download IOS 9 on my iPhone 6 plus over the air and it bricked my iphone and I lost all my data. Now I am getting a screen where it tells me to connect to itunes. When I connect to itunes it says your phone can not be restored, reset it to factory default settings. So frastrating!!!
I got “Software update failed” but tried again an hour later and the update went smoothly.
However… since getting iOS9 on my iPhone 6 (128GB) I haven’t been able to get 3G working. All was fine before the upgrade and now it refuses to connect. The status bar shows my carrier and a strong signal as well as the 3G indicator but all apps report being offline. I’ve deleted the carrier’s profile and reentered all config settings (rebooting the phone many times along nicely the way) but to no avail.
Thanks Apple for turning my $1,000 iPhone into an iPod Touch.
Intially I had the “”An error occured downloading iOS 9” but it automatically got resolved.. But there are 2 issues
1) I can’t see the News App.
2) I had one app named “Konnect Me” https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/konnect-me/id928922762?mt=8 and now I’m unable to open it.. I use that app daily. Can anyone tell me what could be the issue and how to solve?
I updated my Iphone 6 OTA, and the download failed and sent my phone into recovery mode. Plug it into Itunes and I get error (9), (14), (1671), and OXE8000065. Changed USB cables, disabled all firewalls, uninstalled all antivirus, updated Itunes, updated OSX, switched to a PC running Windows 10. tried a different PC running 8, restarted the computer, nothing yet. Called Apple, got shitty service and was told I needed a replacement phone. Emailed Tim Cook. This is my 5th iPhone 6. All replaced due to hardware malfunctions. WTF
iPhone 6 Plus – Download went smooth, Installation went smooth. and I’m loving it! However I cant find the new ‘News” app… South Africa
Samme error accoured to me. Worked fine through itunes though.
Spoke to Apple Support regarding upgrade issue on iPhone 5 where upgrade seems stuck at “Swipe to Upgrade.” Apple advised rebooting phone through iTunes. Said patch may not come for weeks. Entire phone wiped clean. Not good for my son who did not have a backup.

No trouble here. I downloaded mine at 6am yesterday.

My email app no longer works – or connects – since I upgraded my iPhone 6+ to IOS 9. Anyone else? I am connected through a MS Exchange – and it has always worked before. It stopped right after the upgrade. Checked settings. Uhg. Work email is critical….
I can’t get pass a screen telling me to install java… annoying
upgraded from ios 8.4.1 on ip 6 no problems..
I wish getting mine to update was the end of my issues. While the update seems to be fine on my iPad Air, my wife’s 6 has caught the dreaded “my screen is in landscape mode, even though my phone is in portrait.” My 6+ has the same condition, with the addition of now lagging between functions, freezing apps and screens that are now randomly black or white for 2-5 seconds prior to opening or loading other apps. Overall my 6+ is lagging and feels just like its OS is weighted down similar to my original iPad 1.
Updated fine but now my newer iPad air is basically nonfunctional. Mail crashes immediately, all my pages docs are gone and I’m unable to turn on iCloud to retrieve them (it immediately reverts back to “off”), the screen flickers badly during games. I cannot sync my photo albums, and then what does show up is a mixup of pictures in the wrong folders (folders I removed but have now reappeared for no reason). Total mess. Hoping for an update or will have to try to get rid of this.
issue as well
what can i do against it
updated to ios 9 bugs nd bugs no news app nothng hanging alot in iphone 6
Mine error’d and then crashed. Now it is saying it cannot be restored or updated and I will lose my media. UGH!!!
Got a issue with USE MOBILE DATA FOR(settings> mobile data> use mobile data for) i used to turn off the data services for few apps when not in use and after upgrading to ios 9 last night ..i’m not able to switch them back to on as it resets itself to off .. i’m locked out not able to use data services. any solution ?
I have the same problem and it’s getting frustrating! I have an appointment with Apple on Sunday to try and fix it.
Have you found out how to solve this problem? I’m having the same problem and it’s really annoying! :)
Me too. Can’t use mobile data. Did reset network settings, lost all settings, but still doesn’t work. Is Apple really that f#&@ed, since Steve went on better place.
The enhanced voices for VoiceOver sound like they are under water is one of my issues. Also, triple tapping the shift key does not turn caps lock on. Is anyone else having these issues?
i have three iOS devices – one iPad mini, one iPod Touch 5th Gen (64GB), and one iPod Touch 5th Gen (16GB). I downloaded the updates this morning and the iPod Touch (16gb) is stuck in set-up mode. The touchscreen responds until it goes back to “slide to upgrade”, which I’ve done. In iTunes the problem persists and a restore is not possible because the iPod is recognized as “locked”. It worked just fine until the update to iOS 9. I have not updated the iPad Mini, as of yet.
same issue here
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201412 try this! im in the process of it rn
The best way to redownload the update if you are stuck in setup mode, try deleting the .ipsw file. On a PC it is under:
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates (just delete the file or to be safe, copy/paste to your desktop and then delete)
OR on a Mac:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates (Go to Finder menu at top of screen and click “Go”. Hold down the Option key and select Library there. It is hidden by default.
Try redownloading the update again!
@willow…..that may or may not work though. It is really a crapshoot. The best way is to power the device all the way off, HOLD the home button and DO NOT LET GO. Plug it into your computer with iTunes on it and still hold on to the home button. Answer the restore prompts and see if that works. If not, I put some directions for deleting the .ipsw (iPhone or iPad Software Update) file.
Good luck!!
i got a message on my Iphone 5c to upgrade to ios9. i okd process. Now my phone is stuck on a white screen that says slide to upgrade. It is frozen. It will not slide. I am furious. I cannot use my phone for 6 hours now. I have missed business calls all morning. BS
yup same same same exact issue…..any fix on this?
thats exactly how mone is. i called apple and they said there doing everything they can to fix it but it might take awhile ):
What did you end up doing? Did it end up working a few hours later? Mine is on this screen now…
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201412 try this
Mine too, it was said that that slide for upgrading but, it cant be slide.. N I had rebooted but still it will end with this part… Plz help!! Argh….
I’m with you guys.
Same issue… :(
Mines been like this for 5 hours and I don’t know what to do?
OTA upgrade or tethered?
After getting the dead white screen with the “slide to upgrade ” never sliding option , read many posts and tried to connect through itunes and restore but it is throwing error at itunes –> ” go to icloud settings on your iphone and turn off find my iphone before restoring your iphone” i opened icloud and completely clueless how to turn off f
ind my iphone application. i have 5s 16gb . Please if anyone has any idea , how to proceed from here , please help !
I’m having the same problem but I have a 4s. Re-stored and everything! Seems turning off “Find my iPhone” is the solution, but how can we do it if we can’t access our phones?
What you do is log into https://www.icloud.com with your Apple iD > go to “FInd My iPhone” > if you have multiple devices, select the one you want to turn Find My iPhone off (probably grayed out) > Select “Remove from Account” and this will disable Find My iPhone. Try your update again!
Hopefully this helps you out.
oh pfew im not the only one! I hope this can be fixed! i dont want all my photos to be gone! and my chats and notes and ugh… the iphone itself.
press the restart button for 10-15 second then see what happenns
I had the same issue on my ipad. I held both buttons to force powerdown and rebooted. i could then slide to upgrade but now my ipad is stuck on the download bar :(
Whenever I want to restore from iCloud my iPhone 6 goes into a boot loop. There’s nothing I can do to fix it, except to restore it again and this time install it as a new iPhone.
I started using my iPhone and iPad this morning after installing the iOS 9.0 upgrade, and found this extremely irritating “feature” where the keyboard goes back and forth between upper and lower case letters on the keys as one types. How on earth can I turn off or get rid of this “feature”? It is driving me crazy.
Go to Settings<General<Accessibility<Keyboard and turn off Show Lowercase Keys. I thought it was really annoying too!
My phone is stuck on a white screen that says slide to upgrade
I have the same problem. Did you get it resolved?
No . i’m still searching
Try a forced shut down. i did that with my ipad and reebooted and it let me slide to upgrade
i am a player of kingdom age for 3 – 4 years. Today all my 5 devices (iphones and ipads) stopped playing with the game.
Further more i had 4 freezes on my iphone (needed resets) and problems with deleting apps.
Not so glad with ios9
installation done and stuck at “Slide to upgrade” Screen. WTF.
same here
I upgraded with no issues whatsoever (again), I usually wait a week or so to upgrade to a new OS to see if problems ariise etc… ( still gun shy from being a Mac user before OS X appeared and the crashing with programs that didn’t work etc…..) . Plugged my iPhone 6 into my iMac and upgraded through iTunes, not sure of the time it took, less than an hour I would have to say, chose the “Download only” option instead of “Download and Install”. I left it alone, came back and it was done, couldn’t have been more than 30 minute. My iPad Air I upgraded from the unit instead of iTunes, took a bit longer I think, still done quickly as it was ready to go some 90 minutes later. I am on a network that is about 30-35 mbps, Are all these failures coming from people on giant common networks (Starbucks etc.)?
i updated my iphone 5s this afternoon it took realy long to update now my iphone is stuck on a white screen saying slide to update and its not working i am feeling furious and helpless .
i updated iPad to ios9 however my wifes iPad gets stuck at ‘slide to update’ Have closed hers down x????? still no joy. Any ideas?

Not been able to use ipad air 2 now for over 12hrs since upgrading. Screen saying slide to upgrade but frozen. Tried fixing through itunes but nothing worked. How is this problem fixed. Not happy.
Iphone 6 update to ios 9 failed. Phone unusable. Not really happy with having $600 plus for iphone 6 and then this happens again. Had same problem trying to do update to IOS 8.1.
Does anyone have an answer for this problem on the locked white screen with slide to upgrade. Apple should NOT release software when it doesn’t work…Not the first time. I need my phone as a doctor. Please help someone.
yes, I have same problem with the lock white screen with slide to upgrade, before that make phone call hear no ring, other side can’t hear me either, when they called me, I can’t hear them or they can’t heard me
I have the same issue with my ipad2! This is very frustrating! Where are the Apple people telling us how to fix this?
I have updated my phone ios 8 to 9 but now I lost all my data. The images which I had in my gallery is all erased (it is not opening at all) how to fix ??
after update had issues, tried to reset the ios, now it wont restart, just continues in a boot loop, shows progress bar, then apple symbol. it will not allow for hard reboot, or for itunes either… I dont see how it can even be fixed without the hard reboot. guess im sol on my ipad now…
Every time I am in Netflix and I go to slide to see other movies, it reboots my Ipad Air 2.
IPhone 5 said “Update Completed”, few more things to do, press “Continue.” Did so, entered pass code. Got Black Apple on white screen. Then got “Hello” screen, message “slide to set up”. Did so, entered pass code again, get Black Apple on white screen and message “>slide to upgrade.” Can’t slide anything. Message stays there, nothing happens. Have done hard reset three times still go through same issues every time. Need help!
My iPad wouldn’t update over the air. When I connected to my computer and iTunes, it updated, but the download must have been corrupt. It bricked my iPad and I couldn’t get another download or restore to work for several hours. I finally tried again and it did install. I backed up before the upgrade, so I was able to restore all my apps and data. ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST!
Excellent advice. TOO many people get excited for these updates and forget the basics. Always back up and use iTunes to update anyway. Over the Air updates are unreliable, take MUCH longer, and people are just asking for trouble. Updating via iTunes will automatically backup your device before attempting the update, No matter what happens (white screen, having to restore, whatever……) at least you can restore without issue. Thumbs up Gail!!
I have ipod touch 5th 16gb – I downloaded and installed with no problem BUT!!!!! It freezes up when ever I do anything other than stare at the home screen. I am so sick of apple.
i have just downloaded and installed the new IOS update however, I try to turn this on a get to the completed installation page and then I am diverted to a white screen that says slide to update but it wont let me slide!!! I am absolutely fuming and I cannot use my phone at all. has anyone found a way to fix this problem?
not a happy customer!!!
help
I upgraded to ios9 yesterday and now screen locked and flashing after standby, need to do hard reset. Similar things happen when switching between APPs by using home key. Hope Apple will fix it soon.
The photos I had previously are now blurry and wont allow me to email them to see if maybe they are clear then to print
my Ipad doesn’t work anymore after upgrading it. it says upgrade complete and my screen turns all white saying “swipe to upgrade” but my screen doesn’t respond… how to troubleshoot?
I think everyone stuck on slide to upgrade.
I have updated to iOS9 on my iPhone 5s and it gives me very disrupted experience while Opening Apps, Folder and Pressing Home Button and is so cranky and very digitised whereas iPhone 6 has still got good smooth experience.
I completed the download and installation OTA, then got as far as restarting, confirming my AppleID and Location Services, and now the phone is in a boot loop. The status bar fills about 10% and then reboots again. Connecting to my PC does nothing, and the phone is essentially bricked at this point. I’m a little nervous here.
I tried to download the update on my iPod, it’s the newest iPod touch that was released…. It will download the update and start to prompt finishing it, it shows a screen saying “only a few more steps – continue”, but upon hitting continue it goes to a screen saying “slide to upgrade” and it won’t let me ‘slide’… Gus I can’t access anything on my iPod at all
I had to have my iPhone 6 plus replaced tonight after the install went bad and bricked my phone i tried multiple times to restore and just update and it would go through everything and then nothing even the apple store tried and it did not work. They checked the hardware and nothing came up wrong very frustrating and annoying night.
Same here Slide to Upgrade……. Need resolution please…..

so now when i slide it goes to my security lock then back to slide but no farther!
yeahp.. after an update to iOS9 now iPhone freezes. have to master restart everytime. screw this!
Do not let your iPhone go in sleep mode during downloading process… keep bugging until it finishes download. I have successfully completed the updated even i got error initially.
after downloading the ios 9 my phone froze at “slide to unlock”.I held the start button and the home button until the apple came up. it helped a little but now when i slide to upgrade i put my password in and the apple reappears then the black bar comes up under the apple then when it goes all the way through it goes back to the “slide to upgrade” screen. How can i fix this? im really mad at this new update. Help please……….
Thats exactly what I did and Im facing the same problems on my ipad. Im am so pissed.
I have exactly the same problem!!, you can fix it?
I upgraded on my 5s, only issue I’ve noticed so far there is lagging in transition animations, frustrating!

Anybody with sistem keyboard’s problems on iPad Air 2? My keyboard is sliced in 2! I had to install a third-party key
And I’ve reported also a lot of other bugs in this new iOS
So my iPhone upgraded to iOS 9 but after that it is not loading the call logs page (Phone). i can’t see my missed calls or the keypad.. i can, however, make and receive calls. Any solutions?
I’m having trouble using my touch id. doesn’t seem to work and when i try to redo… it kicks me out before it reads my print completely.
Who the hell let this update out of Q&A.
I updated my iPhone 4s yesterday. Now I cannot make outgoing phone calls. Also, the supposed update to make the battery last longer does not work; in fact my battery is actually draining faster, at about 1% ever 30-60sec.
My iPhone 5 is also frozen in the “slide to upgrade”, even after a lot of resets! Pls, someone help me 😭
same problem…”slide to upgrade” repeatedly for the last 6 hours. Called support, I was told apple is aware of problem and working to resolve
My games are freezing, hayday. Township wish I had not updated yet till Apple got it sorted
if you are facing the white light dead screen issue with never sliding slide to upgrade option. keep your new version of itune opened on your desktop or laptop . Just put iphone power button for a while till your screen becomes black , connect your cable to your computer and hold the home button of your phone for 10s atleast, it will connect your itunes and ask for update or restore . choose restore option and just wait for a while it will boot and load ios9 as a fresh new phone , all data will be lost ! If you get an error that ” go to icloud settings on your iphone and turn off find my iphone before restoring your iphone” . log into this site https://www.icloud.com/#find and remove your iphone from find my iphone application as currently it will show your device offline . disconnect your device and close itunes . Then again repeat the above mentioned steps it will work ! it worked for me . Hope it helps to people who cannot download ios8.4.1 as i upgraded from ios7 to ios9 on iphone 5s 16gb and after doing all above steps and losing all my data i am now on ios9 , but losing all data and applications seriously ***** !!
[ To save data try first connecting your phone to your laptop (windows as i have) and see the update in my computer as it shows when we plug in any new device . see if you can navigate inside from there and save all your images and videos stored . it fluctuates but works if you try some number of times . Any data being stored in any additional application will be lost definately as it happened for me for few camera applications . ] . Atlast phone is functional !.
I also received a notification to download the new IOS9. I just tried to update my iphone 5. its asking me to sign into my apple account… ive tried this numerous times now, even resetting my ID etc (I even received the reset email). I tried the old and new passwords but it wont work. My phone just says “Cant sign in”… and ofcourse now it wont leave this screen and I cant use my phone!!!! What to do??? Soooo frustrated!
after i slide to upgrade it asks me to enter my pas-code but the first two numbers of my pas-code cannot be pressed????? keep force restart but nothing changes???
I couldn’t sign in even if I already downloaded the iOS 9. I alsoenter my apple id and agreed upon the conditions.
I downloaded iOS 9 but when I open it and enter my apple id and agreed upon condition, I couldn’t sign in! Don’t know what is the problem.
im having the same problem :( how to fix this?
I updated my iPad Air 2 first, and it was pretty quick. There are issues with some of the apps, including Messages. The keyboard now covers the text box typing area. When I want to read what I typed, I have to tap the keyboard symbol to lower it, then tap inside the text box to type again, an so on. I don’t like the keyboard in the middle of my screen! This appears to be the case no matter what app I’m in. It’s quite annoying. A couple of apps I removed and reinstalled — they had weird looking blackout pieces. Once I reinstalled those apps, they were fine.
Updated hubby’s iPhone 5s next. Took longer to go thru the process but so far it appears okay. But then he hasn’t been on it much. May have more to follow.
Last, I updated my iPhone 4s. This one took the longest and now I am unable to use it. It is locked/frozen on a white screen with the words “Slide to upgrade.” I have tried six times powering down and restarting, keeping my fingers crossed it will work again. Nope…nothing! Come on, Apple people, let’s get it right!
my iphone 4s wont even slide when it says to slide to download it freezes there and it wont work ive tried turning it off and on and i can get through the set up put when i have to slide to download it wont work WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?
here’s a fix: http://viptest.9to5mac.com/2015/09/18/how-to-fix-slide-to-upgrade-error-ios-9/
After the update, my photo albums (both iPhone 6 and iPad Air) are a jumbled, scrambled mess. Pictures have been rearranged in all the wrong (and sometimes right) folders, and dozens and dozens of additional albums (using existing albums’ names) have been created, with pictures scattered throughout. It’s an effing mess.
I’m having problems getting into Game Center. Anyone else having the same or ideas? Can’t play any games linked to Game Center either.
I have the same issue, I’ve left 1 of my games that uses gc on it was stuck at loading screen then after 20 mins it finally started. I’ve read beta testers had this issue too so why on earth did Apple release the update without fixing!!!!!
after the whole installing process, the ipad goes black, not functioning
then bring to shop , they format and install old version 8.still not possible to update ios9??
After multiple attempts with the wife’s 5s over WiFi I simply plugged it into my MBP and poof….it worked.
Got this issue where in I have to log in my apple id after typing it in “it may take a few minutes to set-up your apple id” it directed me to the terms and condition after clicking “agree” after fe seconds it would say “could not sign in” I don’t what to do please help :(
since having updated my ipad to 9.0, in my email notifications earlier an email was shown as not having been read.Apparently thic email was still in the delete folder of my laptop. Later an email was showing in the notification, but there was none. The fault is continually showing up.
My ipad has updated susscessfully my iphone 5 says it’s updated and then asks me to slide to update, but it wont slide. I have tried rebooting and that doesn’t work so I now have a phone which isn’t doing anything
After updating to iOS 9 the Apple TV video not working only sound heard with a caption ” unknown radio station”. Unlike HDMI the sound can be controlled from iPad2. Second problem is while reading Safari page after few seconds it disappears.
I had problem with Apple TV video after upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 9. This is solved after I updated Apple TV software also.
I found a WORKING solution for the “Slide to update” -problem:
1. Log in to your iCloud account via computer.
2. Go to the ‘Find my iPhone / iPad’ and choose your device from the list.
3. Click the “Remove from this account” and “Remove” as in this pic: https://www.esellphone.com/html/blog/how-to-turn-off-find-my-iphone-remotely/how-to-turn-off-find-my-iphone-remotely-06.png
4. Log off from the iCloud (propably not necessary but i did so) and turn off your device.
5. Turn the device back on and try to restore it again from the iTunes. If the problem doesen’t solve, force boot the device (i had to force boot my ipad2 a couple of times before this problem compelitely solved.)
6. Restore your device and (try to) enjoy iOS9 :)
Updated my 16GB iPhone 4s this morning,i waited for it to install,no problems,and then i got the update complete screen,then i get the “hello” screen,i enter my ID and pass and i go further on,i accept the location,i accept the Terms and Policies and then i get the “connection impossible” message,please help !!
Downloaded it on to my Ipad and now it keeps teling me to ‘ Swipe to upgrade’ it begins loading, stops and i have to keep redoing the process, any idea on how to sort this out?
So, my iPhone 6 plus keeps saying update for the beta is available. I click on the thing in settings. It says “update requested.” It never gets beyond that. It is rather annoying. I even went to the beta site and redownloaded the thing. The phone restarted and I had assumed it installed. Yet, still, I get the message. Any time I go to my home screen. The message is (A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 9 beta.) I just can’t do it. haha
Problems in photos – won’t scroll backwards in albums, just keeps flickering madly. Have to exit the app and remove it from memory then go back…each time I want to look at a different album. Not good as I am a professional photographer and need to display and show people photos quicky!
i couldn’t sign in when i upgrade to ios 9 , what can i do? please help me …..
i couldn’t sign in when i upgrade ios 9 what can i do? help me…………
Updated iPad Air to IOS 9 this morning. Screen froze black with An Apple and would only progress ¼ on the bar then back to black screen….looping. Tried all solutions on line. Ended up restoring Everything backed up to Cloud but It didn’t come back. Lost data, pics…three years worth, yet….it did the update to IOS 9. My stuff is gone. Have an appt. with the “Genius” Bar….earliest was Tuesday. I’m not very happy about it…never had an issue updating like this before.
after i updated to ios 9 on 5c when i press agree then it could not sign in??? WHYY
i have the same problem!!!
is your iphone okay now? i got the same problem too. When i tap on agree, it says it could not sign in. please notice this problem of us =(
this also happened to mine , mine finished the update , but when i tried to swipe the screen to get back to my lock in , it just froze , i am very angry about this as I do not want to lose all my pics !! does any 1 no how i can fix this because i tried to backup my phone , but it said you need the serial number which is in my phone ??
Lisa, same thing happened to me (screen froze – not responding to touch). I finally got it working again by draining the battery to zero then recharging and restarting.
I installed successfully, with only one apparent issue. The much-touted News App didn’t install. When I search for it on the App Store, it has this nifty little box that says ‘Open News’ at the bottom, apparently being a link to the App. Upon clicking ‘Open News’, my iPhone then opens Safari, but it is a broken link. I really wanted to check that News App out. I wonder, is it incompatible with an iPhone 6?
It is compatible with the 6 – I have it on mine. Maybe try reinstalling the update?
Well I updated yesterday and today my iphone 6 is a brick. The touchscreen is unresponsive as I can’t get it past the slide to unlock screen. I’m able to get it connected to the iTunes and am rescuing my photos from the device before I get further on in trying to get something figured out. Researching my options.
yep, wow this upgrade was the worst process I’ve had. I have my iPhone 5c up and running but mail will not finish unless I add another email account to it (google/yahoo/outlook etc.) but I don’t want to add any others to my phone. I just my .mac account. I’m not finding much in the way of help either…..any solutions???
tried updating on ipad 2 and update completed but reset my entire ipad and has me setting it up as if its new. once i hit agree to terms and conditions it tells me that it “could not sign in”. now my ipad is useless. no way to get past this step.
Updated iPad Mini to ISO 9. Entering passcode is required after installation restarts iPad Mini but I HAD NO passcode and now I am locked out of my iPad Mini. I tried to access iPad Mini from iTunes, but iTunes requires you to respond from your iPad and iPad is locked?
Damn, iOS 9 upgrade was Terrible I’ve had. I have my iPhone 5 and during the upgrade it just hangup and screen froze via “slide to upgrade”. I deleted device in my .mac account. I’m not finding much in the way of help either…..any solutions???
https://www.reddit.com/r/ios9/comments/3l7nt8/slide_to_upgrade_freeze_iphone_5c/- CHECK THIS RITZ. Got the same issue as yours.
And this is what I did. It worked. But I decided to just stay with 8.4.1. Hahahaha. Damn ios9.
My ipad is stuck at 1/3 download on the bar…can’t do anything with it, just frozen on that. Tried rebooting but same thing. Asks for my pin code then returns to the apple logo and download progress bar. It’s basically bricked now. Can’t use it :(
I update my iPhone 6 to the IOS 9 and now my phone keeps rebooting itself over and over and in the middle of rebooting its rebooting so it never turns on. I have a nice expensive useless brick in my pocket.
having same problem once i was updating the new software through my computer phone connected it was ok then it froze while in 1/3 download bar and won’t turn back on ? did you get yours fix?
Why is iOS 9 missing the favorites and recents shortcut at the top of the screen?!?! I used this feature every day for calling. Yes, I actually use my devices to call people. I hope they bring it back with 9.1! My iPad 3rd Gen and iPad Mini (1st gen) upgraded to iOS 9 with no problems. The iPad 3rd Gen seems slower. I’m hoping the first bug fix corrects this. So far so good on the iPad Mini. My iPhone 5s would not upgrade for two days, sighting the “failure to download” notification but finally did after several attempts, but it too seems slower. I also seem to be missing the cool colorful “wave” wallpaper that has been advertised with iOS 9. Do newer iOS devices offer more wallpaper options? Not a big deal, but I’m just curious.
I TRIED DOING THIS GUYS. IT WORKED BUT I FINALLY DECIDED TO JUST STICK WITH 8.4.1, COZ IT ALMOST GOT THE SAME FEATURE WITH 9.

Finally fixed it! You have to downgrade to 8.4.1. Outlined the steps below.
Step 1 – Backup your pictures! Even though you can’t get to your phone and use it you should still be able to backup your pictures
Step 2 – Download IOS 8.4.1 for your iPhone or iPad from this site –> https://ipsw.me/8.4.1
If you are confused which file to download check the model on back of your phone and use site below to determine the version you need.
https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Models
The file was taking a while to download for my phone so I searched the filename on Google and downloaded from Mega.
Step 3 – Reboot phone into DFU mode – hold down power button and home button – when it reboots let go of power button – still hold home button
At this point it will ask you to connect your phone to iTunes – will have to connect phone to the computer.
Step 4 – Hold down the Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and and then click restore.
Step 5 – Browse to the 8.4.1 file you downloaded and select it. This should restore to the previous IOS version. Note: This will wipe phone.
Step 6 – Restore from backup. Hope that you backed up before attempting to update.
UPDATE : After installing 8.4.1 I was able to update to IOS9 with no issues. I was initially running IOS7 when I attempted to upgrade the first time. Hope this helps everyone out.
After updating to iOS 9 on iPhone 6s, the Apple “Stocks” app will not download charts or news !!
successfully downloaded the upgrade but it will not finish setting it up. Everytime i agree to the terms i just keep getting an error that it can not sign in….

UPDATED IPHOONE 5 S TO IOS 9 SCREEN FROZE BLACK LOT OF TIMES CAN SAM BODY HELP WITH TIPS.THNX
Upgraded my Iphone to to an iphone 6s today. Plugged into Itunes upload info then got the white screen with”swipe to upgrade” …nothing—no swipe facility.
read up …held done home and right side button cleared screen until apple logo appeared.
Said to plug into itunes. got apple error 1671 on itunes. but moved on after a few minutes. Said there was a bug fix install and upgrade.
started upgrading but keeps asking for password—so far 6 times…and its done less than 10% of the upgrade.
I have a solution… Before you do a fresh restart, my way is downloading the IPSW from https://ipsw.me/ choose your device and firmware and download…. When that has downloaded, open iTunes, plug in your device and hold down SHIFT (Don’t know mac, I think it’s Command button) And click ‘UPDATE’ Then find where you downloaded your file, click that and then sit back and let the magic happen. All your files should still be on your device! I hope this helps! :)
If that doesn’t work, try downgrading to IOS 9.0.1 or just IOS 9, then upgrade when apple has fixed this.
My iPad 3 has been taking so long to open the App Store then when it does it just keeps staying on the screen. I’ve reset and everything it’s still doing it. It’s really starting to get on my last nerve! It started when I updated it. To the new ISO9. Any suggestions
Why does it says 18 hours ago I commented when I just now write it. At 8:33 pm the 12th of October.
After updating to 9 ios ma ipad turn worst,,,, when i use imo and skype video call get cut every one mind and voic cannot hear ,,, ,,, always app closses,,, please. Fix it 😡😕
This has to be one of the worst upgrade I’ve seen from Apple (and my first machine from them was an Apple //e!). On my iPad 3, in particular, and to a lesser extent on my iPhone 5, touch command and main button action are VERY unresponsive. Even with 9.1, it takes punching 2,3,4 times or even more to get a result, apps or switching can take 30 seconds to launch or operate, sliding from one screen to the next can at times be impossible!…
A first logical assumption is to reckon that, in the process of handling new varying-pressure touch on the 6s, they’ve f….ed regular touch command on previous devices. What a major error! And frankly, two months later, ouh ouh, anybody home?? Some of those tens of millions of users (including this one) are bound to end up very frustrated if this very incapaciting bug is not fixed very quickly.
