Strongly welcome! iOS 12 is a rather minor update to the mobile operating system. Apple has relied heavily on the stability of the system, and not on all sorts of "goodies" and "chips". Therefore, even if you look closely, we will not see any breakthrough functions, space technologies and the strongest changes in it. However, as they say, it works and okay.
Or is everything just broken for you and nothing works at all? Are you constantly getting some weird errors during the update? Then you have come to the right place! Today we will try to figure out what kind of problems can arise with iOS 12 and, most importantly, how they can be fixed. Are you ready? Let's start!
Small but important digression.
It should be understood that absolutely all error options cannot be considered. The author, unfortunately (or fortunately), is not omnipotent. However, this is precisely why there are comments - write if you have not found the answer to your question. We will try to defeat any mistake!
Now let's get started for sure. Let's go! :)
Which devices support iOS 12
In fact, this is a very important point.
Here's an example from life.
Just yesterday an acquaintance came up to me and said: “I heard Apple had some kind of iOS 12 released. And for some reason nothing comes to my iPhone 5. Am I doing something wrong? How can I upgrade? "
I had to explain that the new firmware on the iPhone 5 has already ended. Alas.
Therefore, we carefully look at the compatibility plate. Here she is:
If your gadget is not there, then, unfortunately, iOS 12 is not available for you.
Error "You must have the latest version of iTunes installed to update iOS 12"
It would seem, what to paint here? Everything is already written in the text of the notification. Want iOS 12? Install the latest version of iTunes and you will be happy!
However, everything is not so simple ...
Sometimes, even if you and you already have the latest version installed, the program may be "overridden" - it will still inform you that you need to update it.
Rave? Sure. But, unfortunately, it happens.
What to do?
- To restart a computer.
After that, we connect the iPhone or iPad and update to iOS 12 quite calmly. There will be no more warnings.
Error 3194 while installing iOS 12
Of course, we are talking about iTunes.
iPhone or iPad have not yet learned how to display error descriptions in numbers.
So you're trying to update to iOS 12 via iTunes and you're catching error 3194.
What to do? There are these options:
- Disable antivirus, firewall, and other programs that might prevent iTunes from communicating with Apple's servers.
- Run iTunes as administrator.
- Check the Hosts file in Windows (Internet for help) - it must be "clean".
- Make sure that you are trying to upgrade to the firmware version that is currently being signed (). Roughly speaking, you need to install the latest version of iOS.
Of course, this error is not excluded and "iron" reasons, but most often the problem is either in connecting to Apple servers, or in the firmware file itself. These are the things you need to pay attention to in the first place.
You just want to install the firmware and immediately some kind of nonsense starts. The update seems to be there (well, they still talk about it!), But the device itself simply does not see any new version of iOS 12 and reports:
An error occurred while checking for a software update.
How do I get my iPhone or iPad to see the new firmware? There are several ways:
- Reboot your device.
- Check your internet connection. Connect to a different Wi-Fi network.
- Installing the iOS 12 beta? Check for the corresponding profile in "Settings - General - Device Management".
- Is the firmware version "the most common"? On the contrary, make sure there are no profiles.
- Use iTunes.
Plus, sometimes it helps just to wait - when new versions of iOS are released, Apple's servers can be simply overloaded and give out some strange messages that have nothing to do with reality.
Perhaps the most popular mistake when trying to update iOS 12 over the air. Most often it looks like this:
- The firmware is loading.
- The "check for update" window appears.
- After a few minutes, we get "Failed to install the update. An error occurred while installing iOS 12 ".
What should I do?
The easiest option:
Update via iTunes.
No computer nearby? Then you can try:
- See how much free memory is on your iPhone or iPad. If it is very small, you need to free up space (delete several games and applications).
- Check the status of Apple servers (see the previous subheading for a link to how to do this).
- Check internet connection (try using a different Wi-Fi network)
- Go to settings - find an already downloaded firmware file - delete it. The system will download the software again and try to install it again.
But, again, better and more reliable through iTunes.
Unable to check for update. IOS 12 update failed validation ...
Of course, the title does not contain all of the error text. Just the beginning. But it ends with the words:
The iOS 12 update failed validation because the device is no longer connected to the internet.
We check the Internet on an iPhone or iPad - everything works. So what do you want Apple?
In fact, in most cases, this error has nothing to do with the Internet. Here, again, it's all about the notorious signature of the firmware. If this version of iOS is already outdated and not signed, then it cannot be installed.
I have a good (I hope) instruction on how to fix this error in just a few minutes - (without registration and SMS).
Perhaps, at the moment, these are all the most common problems that can await you in an unsuccessful attempt to update to iOS 12. However, we all know Apple as a very mysterious company - it is almost impossible to predict the appearance of new errors.
P.S. Therefore, if you suddenly encounter some kind of failure, write in the comments. I do not promise that everything will work out, but we will still try to defeat the problem all together!
P.S.S. Did the instruction help? Do you want to support the author? Don't be shy - like it and click on the social media buttons. Thanks!
Many fans of Apple technology sooner or later face a problem when the iPhone is not updated and, as a result, it is not possible to install the current firmware version. Moreover, the situation is the same in iCloud and iTunes. The standard message about failure and error just appears and nothing else. In this case, the download has already been possible. Let's try to figure out what exactly is the cause of such a malfunction and how it can be eliminated.
Many users are wondering what will happen if they don't update the device at all. What is it all for, if the iPhone is already working fine. In fact, with each update, Apple's developers make devices better, add more changes, new features and remove bugs made in previous versions.
So the phone will be able to serve you much longer. In addition, many applications in the AppStore system simply cannot work with the old firmware.
The main reasons for the failure
Usually, when the iPhone 5s (or other models), refuses to automatically update via Wi-Fi or other communication channels. Users are beginning to wonder why I can't update my phone to the current version.
There are several simple solutions:
- Just restart your iPhone. Turn off and then turn on again. This helps to solve most of the problems in the OS.
- If this does not work as expected, then try reconnecting your internet connection.
- If this does not help, then you can restore the entire system.
The most common causes of this problem include:
- Update failed.
- Incompatibility.
- Lack of space.
- Server access denied.
- Incomplete updates.
Update download error
Your device seems to see a new firmware version and has already started downloading. However, then an inscription appears - "Update download error".
Why is this happening? There may be several options:
- Not enough memory. In this case, free up some space on your phone and try updating again.
- Unstable network connection. Make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet. If everything is fine, then it might be worth connecting to another wi-fi network.
- Another reason is the various technical jobs at Apple. It's enough just to wait a while.
If you don't want to wait, you can try downloading the firmware from third-party resources. But in this case, there is a high probability of catching viruses. Therefore, this is an extreme method.
If you still decide to install updates via a PC, then first download them from the official website. After that, proceed to install:
- Launch iTunes.
- Go to the section of the updated gadget.
- Press Shift, click on "Update".
- In the explorer, select the required file with the .ipw extension.
Compatibility check
The next reason may be incompatibility. That is, your device may not support the version of PO you are installing. For example, ios 11 and its modifications can be installed only on the following devices:
- iPhone 5S and all following;
- iPod touch 6;
- And iPad mini 2.
If your device fits the installed version, then we carry out the following steps.
In the main menu, we find the settings section. We need basic settings, at the very end of which there will be a subsection "Profile". Now we need to delete everything that is there, click on "Delete profile". Now let's reboot. The whole procedure should take no more than 20 minutes.
Find your password
If a password is set on your phone and tablet for security purposes, then you should make sure that you remember it. Perhaps a password will be needed to successfully complete the procedure, especially with the latest firmware versions. If you forgot it, then you need to contact the service center for recovery.
Keep your apple id handy
When there is not enough download space and other possible solutions to the problem do not help. We are trying to restore access to the apple id. This ensures that you can use all of Apple's services, such as the App Store, iCloud and others.
If you have forgotten it, then you must:
- Go to your account page. Click on the "Forgot your password" mark.
- On the next page, you need to click the same.
- Enter your details and your email address. If the entered address does not match, then you can try with another mail.
Need more space to install the update
Lack of space sometimes causes the error. If there is not enough space to install or download an update, IOS will automatically try to free up space. However, by default, the system will only delete information from those utilities that will soon be loaded in automatic mode. All information in this case will not be deleted or moved. Can be removed using iTunes.
If you can't connect to iTunes, try to free up as much space as possible for the installation. Delete unnecessary photos and videos from your phone.
How else can i update ios
Situations can often be pretty commonplace.
For example, the battery charge should be over 50%. If it is less, then you need to try to connect the gadget to the network.
There may also be a problem with the Touch ID fingerprint scanner not working. If for some reason it does not work, then it will be possible to update only using iTunes.
We install the new version of iTunes, connect it with the original iPhone cable, and agree with the messages of the system.
Conclusion
If you have tried all of the above methods and none of them helped you, then there is only one thing left. You need to seek professional help. Go to the service center, they will fix the breakdown.

Your iPhone or iPad didn't find an update or reported an error in the settings section? In this article, we will tell you about several ways to solve the problem in which the inscription “ Checking for an update ...«.
IOS 10 update not available on older devices?
To our great regret, Apple has reduced the list of devices compatible with iOS 10. You cannot install iOS 10 on iPhone 4s, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 3, iPad mini, and older.
IOS update not available (" Checking for an update ..."). What to do?
Does your device have a jailbreak (Cydia)?
If the Cydia application is installed on your device (jailbreak), then this is the main reason why the iOS 10 update is not available along the way Settings -> The main -> ... The jailbreak developers specifically block the ability to update "over the air". The fact is that when you update your iPhone or iPad with a jailbreak, the device turns into a "brick" (eternal chamomile, white apple, etc.).
In order to install iOS 10 on a jailbroken device, you need to perform the procedure. Detailed instructions are posted.
In other cases, try the methods below:
Restarting the Settings app
The easiest solution is to restart the program Settings... To do this, open the multitasking menu (double-click on the round Home button) and remove the program from it Settings ().
Then reopen Settings, go to section The main and check for an update in the section.
Change the way you connect to the internet
Sometimes, software updates are not found over the Wi-Fi network. In this case, you can try turning off the Wi-Fi network and looking for updates using 3G.
After the iPhone or iPad finds an update, you can turn Wi-Fi back on and download the update for your device.
Resetting "network settings"
Some users report that resetting their network settings helped them solve this problem. In order to reset the network settings, go to Settings -\u003e General -\u003e Reset and select item Reset network settings.
Please note that resetting network settings will remove passwords for Wi-Fi networks on your device.
Update or restore your device via iTunes
If all of the above methods did not help you, then most likely you will have to update your device through iTunes on your computer. Just connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer and open iTunes... In the device information window, press the key Refresh.
The procedure for updating and restoring software is described in more detail.
When Apple releases an operating system update for iOS devices, we can see it and download it through Settings - General - Software Update. As a rule, a red icon with the number "1" appears next to the Settings application icon, signaling an update.
IPhone does not see the update
For some reason, the red badge does not appear next to the icon on some mobile devices. Moreover, if you go to the "Software Update" section, the iPhone freezes, thinks for a long time and starts looking for an update. And for some reason it does not find it, although the update may immediately be displayed for other users. Why doesn't the iPhone see the update? What could be the reason?
What to do if iPhone stuck checking for update
If your iPhone is stuck checking for an update, most likely the device has caught some kind of system "glitch" and therefore does not see the update. To get started, you can try the easiest way to solve this problem - restart your phone. When the device restarts, open Settings - General - Software update again. If iPhone finds an update, you can start downloading and installing it via OTA. If the iPhone is stuck checking for an update again, then you need to use a third-party tool - Tenorshare ReiBoot.
So, you need to follow these steps:
As you can see, Tenorshare ReiBoot can fix iPhone stuck checking for update in just a couple of clicks. And this is not all that she is capable of. The Tenorshare ReiBoot utility can solve most: for example, if an iPhone or iPad freezes,
Hello! I have a few articles on my blog dealing with iPhone or iPad firmware update issues. However, as practice shows, even such a number of instructions is not enough - new questions constantly appear in the comments regarding this simple, in general, procedure. However, I'm not complaining - always, as they say, I'm happy to help :)
On the other hand, if someone is asked about something very often (and the mistake about which the title is mentioned is not a rare phenomenon), then it is better to write a separate note - this will definitely be more convenient for everyone. You will receive a complete instruction with pictures. I am a pleasure in helping a lot of people. Happiness, joy, pink elephants :) Let's go!
So, here is the full text of the error:
Unable to check for update. The iOS update failed validation because the device is no longer connected to the Internet.
At the same time, the version of iOS can be absolutely any - even iOS 7, even iOS 10 or 11. Apple is true to itself and has not changed this text for many years - for sure, in iOS 12 and all subsequent firmwares, everything will remain unchanged.
And, it would seem, what is there to discuss? It has been said that there is no Internet, so this is exactly what you need to pay attention to! However, not all so simple…
There may be two (!) Reasons for the appearance of the inscription "The iOS update has not passed the check, because the device is no longer connected to the Internet"
- There is no network access.
- This version of iOS is no longer "signed" by Apple.
And immediately an important point! Do not ignore the first option - they say, I definitely have the Internet and this is clearly not my case! Believe me, maybe yours too :) It's better to play it safe and:
- Try to connect to another Internet source (some providers have such "glitches" when for some reason they add the addresses of Apple servers to the list of prohibited ones).
- - what if there are now large-scale failures and the problem concerns everyone without exception?
Have you done everything, checked, but nothing has changed? Then we immediately turn to the second reason for the "Unable to verify the update" error - it is that this version of iOS is no longer "signed" by Apple.
It turns out that the company “does not give the go-ahead” for the update. Why? Because this update is not the latest current version. It's Apple's policy - want to upgrade your iPhone or iPad? Install only the latest version of iOS!
To make it a little clearer, here's a specific example:
- Your device downloaded the firmware, but you did not install it.
- Some time passed and a more recent version of iOS was released.
- You are about to update, but the "old" firmware is loaded in memory!
- When you try to install it, it is checked on Apple servers and gets a ban on this action (after all, there is already more recent software!).
- The error "Update failed validation" occurs.
True, for some reason, Apple adds a very strange inscription to all this - "since the device is not connected to the Internet." What, in fact, confuses all users. But come on, let's leave this fact on her conscience, and find out ourselves - what to do now with all this disgrace?
And the solution, in fact, will be very simple:
After that, you can restart the device, connect to Wi-Fi and wait until the new (already most current) version of iOS is loaded. Loaded? Don't delay updating - do it right away :)
