'Preparing Update…' takes longer than the download!

 

[Leonard1818]

been sitting on "preparing update" with about 1/8 of the status bar LEFT....

(ipad still no dice)

 

[SgtPepper12]

anyone know if its worth upgrading from the GM? or are the GM and the Official release the same? (I'm new to all this haha)

It's exactly the same build as the GM, fortunately (or not).

Honestly, it's still pretty buggy. I guess 7.0.1 is coming pretty soon. At the moment the circles around the numbers of the passcode screen don't show up. At least it's nothing too critical.

Downloading right now.

Thats about as exciting to read as one of Michaelgtrusa's posts.

Can you imagine the guy at Apple screaming 'WE NEED MORE POWER?'.

I can and it has me slightly amused.

Apple read this and terminated my download.

Mine did that and failed.

Akamai

Just a reminder, there isn't an "apple server" for this - apple uses a content distribution network via Akamai, I believe. It's likely that the update is still propagating out through their system.

Anyone getting it to start and get halfway done with the download only for the error?

 

[currocj]

Errors galore

An error has occurred 20x

 

[gusapple]

It sounds like everybody is having failure. Anybody successfully updated?

 

[SuperMatt]

What would you guys estimate the time to be if the serve wasn't overloaded? Is this typically like a 10 minute download?

It's a 750 MB download for my iPhone 5. So, if you have 5 Mbit/sec internet like me, that's 500K per second, or 30 megabytes a minute: 25 minutes. Which is about what I'm experiencing on my connection. So no apparent server-side problems in my experience.

Mine finally started the downloaded. Kept getting the "can't check for update" message.

Just kidding. It failed. -_-

Yeah, download on my iPhone 5 took 5 minutes, 21 minutes of "Preparing Update." It's installing now.

 

[bridgettwhite]

i'm on preparing update. took about 15-20 minutes to download after a crash the first time i tried to update. i'm hoping it doesn''t crash again!!

 

[WilliamLondon]

Same issue for me.

The really annoying this about this (I'm getting it on both my devices right now too) is that it doesn't seem to be picking up where it left off, it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) to be starting over each time - how incredibly inefficient, but perhaps there's a credible reason it's doing this??

Ok, now mine says 21 hours remaining

Software Update Failed
