iPad will not install rapid security response says it’s not connected to the Internet even though I’m literally connect Internet posting this

I was getting a message saying the update couldn’t be installed because I wasn’t connected to the internet. 

I went though several setting configuration changes because I was definitely connected. 

So this configuration worked

Wi-Fi off

Bluetooth off

VPN on

Only cellular connection on

Then under cellular 

I turned off cellular connection for folders in the apps section and changed the iCloud connection to off when not on Wi-Fi at the very bottom below the app list. This immediately turned off my phone. I wasn’t sure if it was updating because the screen was just dark black. I clicked on the power button fast once. The apple showed then went blank for a second before restarting a showing it was updated.

So whatever the issue is it has to due with something in my iCloud connection or files.

Actually, I think Apple simply fixed the glitch. I didn't do any of those settings changes and mine installed just fine.

As indicated, the only required action was to exercise patience - while Apple fixed their own update delivery issue. 🙂

I had the same problem. Not anymore. After about 1.5 hours it worked. Installation on iPad and iPhone has now been successfully completed. My advice: try again.

Remove any add-on VPN client app.

Force-restart, and try again: Force restart iPad - Apple Support

Same issue on iPhone 13 when trying to install iOS Security Response 16.4.1(a). So I think it is a bug.

no vpn client

I already said I restarted

A restart, or a forced restart? If you did not force a restart, force one.

You’re not alone. I can confirm seeing exactly the same the behaviour.

System restart doesn’t clear the issue.

Disabling Apple Private Relay service doesn’t appear to clear the issue.

There seem to be a growing number of posts mentioning this. I'm still in the "Preparing Security Respons..." on my iPhone 11 Pro. Haven't tried on the iPad yet.

ETA: Nope, I got the same error.

Same issue, same measures, no go.
