Just remember to change back the DNS settings when it’s finished. Otherwise your Internet could slow down because your local ISP routes traffic to local cache servers to speed up your Internet experience using DNS. Things like unmetered traffic with some ISP’s may not work when using Googles DNS since it will send you to US based servers instead of local cache’s.

When I tried to do the new update, it downloaded, but I got the “software update failed”. Problem was my phone had already started the process. So my phone is locked on the cord showing to plug in to iTunes (even though it already is) and a hard reset just goes right back to that display… I can’t do anything with my phone. please help.

You change the DNS and not the router right? update still doesn’t work for me.

Hi, iPhone 4 here. Have tried every possibility listed and still says an error has occurred. It does say the update is downloaded to my phone but says error has occurred with the installation process. Any other ideas? Surely I’m not the only phone in the world that happens to have no solution!! Thanks!!

I’m from Taiwan. After upgrading to ios5.1, my network can’t work at all. I can receive call and sending SMS. I’m trying to reset my networkig and even Took out the simcard and insert again, but still same. So can teach me how I going to fix this problem? It’s kinda frustrated.

If perhaps you may have a 4th generation iPod touch that is jailbroken and is at ios 5.0.1 could the Jailbreak be the problem that it is not updating?

None of these fixes worked on my iphone4 or ipad or ipod touch. I resorted to completely erasing everything and setting it back to factory defaults. Do not connect to itunes, but restore it as a new device. After it has been restored and set up again, then change the dns settings and try it on wi-fi. This is the only way I could get my devices updated.

I’m in the same boat. I just finished trying every one of these methods and I’m still unable to download the update on mac or my iphone 4s. Tried all times day and night as well.
