Many iPhone and iPad users have found Apple’s latest iOS update, which was released this week, not as easy to install as it has been in the past.
The biggest problem for most is the sheer size of iOS 8, which has led to people needing to delete apps, photos, music, videos and other files to free up the 5GB or so of space for the update.

The operating system makeover is being hailed as Apple’s biggest ever because it comes with a slew of new updates to popular apps, including messages, photos and the keyboard.
Thankfully, if you don’t want to delete “Kim Kardashian Hollywood” or get rid of your selfies, there is another way to get the iOS update.
Connect your device to your computer and make sure you’re running the latest version of iTunes. (You can check this by going to the iTunes help menu and clicking “check for updates.”)
Once you’re connected, it’s time to update. If you’re not prompted on your device, go to settings, general and software update to begin the download.
As the new iOS downloads, go watch a movie or sit down for a lavish meal. It may take a while.
Lastly, if you’re not clamoring for the iOS update today, it may be worth waiting.
Think of it like trying to find a parking spot at the mall on the day after Thanksgiving. It’s the same crowd scenario here — only as users suck up bandwidth downloading Apple’s new operating system.
