Taken from a long time Linux user who got desperate with OSX, Apple also has the logging functionality, however it is deeply buried. If you open up a terminal and type sudo dmesg, you get a full dump of system status, and what crashed. Furthermore, you have event log where software drops its guts to in the Apple system settings, or if you want to be Unixy about things, try in the command line to see what you have in /var/log , or even better, tail /var/log/system.log , which was still the default logging place for Tiger, when I last used a Mac.
There are a number of reasons why an install might fail, as other mentioned, bad cable, funky port, maybe bad block in your iphone, etc. If you have issues, it is recommended to open a terminal and tail -f the log to see why, while the happen.

You would think it would have been a lot easier to walk out the front door to the pub while she slept.

This is what I call patience. It reminds me a film I can't find the english name (with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins).
Edit: is it possibly "Shawshank redemption" ?

No; he dug another hole and put the soil down there.

15 years? Definitely not Nagy then, he'd have found a better solution.

Is that one of those questions like "how many people work here?"?
'Cause the answer's probably the same -- "About half of us".

Linky say FAKE 
However, I once lived two doors away from a pub and one evening it took me nearly an hour to get home. 
In my defence, it was on the side of a rather steep hill and it had snowed. On exiting the hostility, I slid down the hill [fun an all] and every time I got up the hill again, I'd slide back down.

In my final year at university (Leicester D'oh Monfort) I lived next door to a pub, in a ground floor flat.
The pub toilets were downstairs.
It was quicker to go home for a piss.
The landlord was a Derby fan (as am I0, lived in Nottingham with a wife that he hated, and had a flat above the pub.
Much after hours drinking took place.
When I first went to university (Lancaster) I lived on campus, and became entirely nocturnal for a few months. I'd get up in the evening, pad through the corridors and covered walkways to the college bar in my dressing gown and slippers, get a couple of pints to take back to my room whilst I get ready for a night out.
This is the reason a second university was required as the first didn't want me back after the first year.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Not really.
How long were you in line?

|

I did make an appointment online so it shouldn't have been too bad. Even so I got there at 730 for 800. I was the only person who had an appointment: well over 100 people were already in line when I go there.
However, making an appointment only gets you in the door a bit quicker: you still have to gat a number assigned and then wait. And wait. And wait.
All done now; no need to return for at least 4 years.

Is that when they're predicting they'll be calling the number you got assigned?
Here in AZ we renew driver licenses every 25 - 30 years, or at 65 years old. Vehicle registrations are all by mail or Internet, and you can pick the duration (and fee, of course).

A UK license lasts from the day you pass the test until you are 70! (Not sure what happens after that)
Not my birthday but there was an issue with the license that I had to sort out which meant a new license. Painful.

You go to see the docker and he signs you off for more years [up to 5 at a time I believe]. My Dad's licence has been suspended due to being legally blind three times now and as his eyes improve [it goes in waves] they remove the suspension.

Doesn't a picture that out of date defeat the purpose of a photo ID?
OTOH with licenses without the last few decades of security features built being valid in must make your state the fake ID capital of the US. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The DMV here in the little town of Hudson NY has maybe 3 people in line at most, and there's 2 or 3 clerks to service everyone at any given time. In and out in 5 minutes usually.
As well with the post office on tax day, when I used to live in San Diego I discovered it was well worth the effort to drive to some tiny little town outside of the city (like Spring Valley) and use their DMV and postal services. A 20 minute drive would save me 3-4 hours of lines.
