[Atrin1]

status bar is at 50% and it now says preparing update

fingers crossed...

Gosh. iTunes still says that I'm on the current version (6.1.4)

iTunes 11.1

Failed twice on my iPhone 5 - rebooted my phone and trying again...

 

[DotCom2]

To be honest - we are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

iPad won't even start
iPhone 4 says 2 hours

That's why I am just going to wait until all you guys are all out of the way. Then I will download mine safely, securely, and timely.

 

[bbotte]

uh oh, 2hrs now.....

 

[hauntvictim]

Hmm. Not working for me. Still says 6.1.3 is the current version -- iPod Touch 5th gen.

Kept saying the same for me, downloaded new iTunes and all. So now doing it OTA and it has worked. iPad mini at 1 hour!!!! and iPhone 5 at 25 mins.

In London as well downloading...7 hours remaining....

If anyone could post a direct-link for the A1429 iPhone 5 iOS 7 official release build (Not GM or anything) I'd really appreciate it !

iOS 7 Beta 5 is what I'm running.. Is there any possibility for OTA or will I have to download the GM from the dev site to update? I just wish they would turn the flag on to allow OTA from the beta releases...

 

[astewes]

disappointed

Mine was never estimating longer than 7 minutes , and even worked its way down steadily, from 6 to 5 to 4 min, before the download ultimately failed each time.

NOW, it's not even attempting to download, just getting a failure message as soon as I agree to terms.

As I recall, this was never an issue with previous updates. Overloaded servers would push the ETA up to 2-3 hours, but not fail before the download actually started.

I understand there's only so much can be done from a server standpoint, but I'm nonetheless disappointed.

 

[taybo20]

got it downloaded! Now preparing update!

Preparing has taken longer than my download...

 

[adam044]

iOS 7 GM install complete. Yay.

Save yourselves the headache and just download and install the GM.

no

 

[Leonard1818]

past the reboot phase... it's applying the update.... more waiting...more waiting... more waiting....

 

[anshuvorty]

i am gonna wait until the direct links to the ipsw are released. I have seen that these are much more reliable way of installing a new ios version.

 

[mdlooker]

lol..Apple servers are getting the "bizzness" right now!

 

[l0renz]

My friend the GM build is similar to the one that is released now

I assumed that too but wasn't sure
Thank you for that info!

God bless

iPhone 5 = Preparing for update . Little left but not moving anymore…it doesn't sound good….

Got the apple ! Progress bar loading slowly….

 

[xmarcuswildx]

Can't update to iTunes 11.1 at all. My OTA has no update and my iTunes 11.05 still says 6.1.4 is up to date wtf.

 

[Godzilla71]

got it downloaded! Now preparing update!

Mine have been preparing forever it seems.

 

[Tyler23]

I'm running on the GM too and I haven't had an update yet. Please let me know if downgrading to iOS 6 helped you out. Thanks

You won't get an update - the GM is the same as what everyone else is updating to now.

 

[ICEBERG]

Mine is almost done downloading. It took about 30min..

Hahaha....Just F#$#ng jinx my self. Software Update Failed....

 

[fruitpunch.ben]

My friend the GM build is similar to the one that is released now

VERY similar in fact
(it's the exact same )

 

[srsub3]

preparing update takes more than download.....

 

[Renzatic]

Preparing update! I MADE IT, GUYS! I MADE IT!

 

[jerbeck24]

Fourth time reaching "about 2 minutes remaining" and hopefully this time it doesn't fail! Twice it has failed with 2 minutes remaining and once with only one minute to go....

Edit: Failed again! Fifth time is the charm?!?

 

[prosp]

I started at 1pm, have been at "preparing update" for about 10 minutes.
