Solutions to Update Failures
Now that we have discussed some common reasons why your iPad may not be updating to iOS 17, let’s explore some solutions to help you resolve the issue.
Free Up Space on Your Device
If your device is running low on storage space, you can free up space by deleting unnecessary apps and files from your device or using cloud storage services to store your data. To delete an app, simply swipe left on its icon and tap the “X” button that appears to remove it from your home screen.
Reset Your iPad
If none of the above solutions work, you can try resetting your iPad to its factory settings. This will erase all of your data and settings, so make sure to back up your important files before attempting to reset your device. To reset your iPad, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

This can help to rule out compatibility issues with your current device or computer. If you do not have access to another device or computer, you may want to consider contacting Apple Support for further assistance.
