iOS 8.1

[Trailhead]

Mine went into recovery mode when installing - I lost everything and had to plug it into the PC to get it back on. Very disappointing Apple!

I thought I was some sort of computer retard, never updating anything (still using an iPad 1, and Windows XP in Parallels on my several years old MacBook Pro), but reading your sorry reports of Apple iOS updates has made me feel a whole lot better.

I do share your pain.....I have to use Windows 8 at one of my clients....

As an overall experience I have not really had an issue. I spent last night cursing my ISP and Apple as the demons with the red hot pokers and were to be killed to death until I discovered that two letters come out the same in a font for a password when using an auto generator on Apple......

No problem updating any of IOS 6, 7, 8.0, 8.1. etc etc

Do it via a pc/imac NOT wifi.

Whilst I think this is probably a very sound solution, I'd like to point out that I've never had problems with any updates over wifi on iPhone 4 or 5S ..... It's difficult, when it appears to work so well, to understand where people are having problems, although I do realise it's best to BE PATIENT with it and make sure you're powered.

Doing it over a computer means the install size is smaller, also Apple admitted yesterday that the issues with iOS 8 were due to the delivery of OTA updates which explains why some people reported issues and others didn't.
