Having trouble downloading and installing iOS 9 on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch? You're not alone.
Apple fans everywhere are seeing error messages when trying to update the latest version of iOS.
Soon after the update became available at 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET, iPhone owners who attempted to download the software were given error messages. Not surprisingly, people were quick to air out their frustrations on social media.
If you're seeing the same error messages, know that this is pretty common with new software updates. Millions of users worldwide are pinging Apple's servers to grab the update. It may be smart to just wait and download iOS 9 later when their servers aren't so slammed.
Some users report success downloading iOS 9 via iTunes instead of over Wi-Fi:
If you're trying to download #iOS9 do it through iTunes instead of your iPhone, worked straight away for me.

If you're getting "Software Update Failed" when trying to upgrade to #iOS9 OTA, just do it via iTunes.
