Change DNS ServersSettings -> Wi-FiClick the blue arrow on your connected networkDelete https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3786800?tstart=0 everything in DNS and replace it with 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4Try againIf this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.If the above does not work then try the second option2. Reset deviceBackup your iPhone/iPad to iCloud (very important). Settings -> iCloud -> Storage and Backup -> Backup Now (at the bottom)Erase your device. Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content And SettingsDevice will reset and wipe itselfWhen it restarts follow the instructions on screen and setup your device. You're choices here do not really matter except for restoring from a backup. Do not restore a backup, choose "Set up as new".When complete, the Software Update should now work which will install IOS 5.1When installed, Erase the device again. (See Step 2)Once erased, follow the wizard but this time select that you wish to restore from a backup in iCloud. Select the backup that you took in step 1.Your device should be back to normal and with IOS 5.
time out, not start at all, or sometimes throw an error message saying "Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred while checking for a software update." or "The network connection could not be established."

It had the fewest updates out of all the major iOS versions. It was preceded by iOS 4 (final version was 4.3.5) and succeeded by iOS 6, which was released on September 19, 2012.

At the same event, Apple introduced Mac OS X Lion[1] and announced its cloud-based media service, iCloud.[2] For the second time, support for some devices was dropped, specifically the iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch (2nd generation). Supported devices on this release include the iPhone 3GS onwards, the iPod Touch (3rd generation) onwards, and the original iPad onwards.[3] On October 4, 2011, Apple held an event at the 4 Infinite Loop building at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. While other items were discussed, the main focus was the unveiling of the iPhone 4S and its new, exclusive Siri software.[4] The release date for iOS 5, October 12, was announced at this event.[3] The iPhone 4S came with iOS 5 pre-installed, but older units required the update to be installed through iTunes.[5] However, when the update was first released, many users received error messages upon attempting to download it, and some had warnings that their devices could not be restored. It was thought that Apple's servers were simply not able to keep up with the demand, causing as many as half of the initial requests for the update to fail.[6] Features[edit] Notification Center[edit] Main artic
