Apple Releases iOS 7 With UI Redesign, iTunes Radio, New Notification Center, Multitasking Screen and More

[fruitpunch.ben]

Can't believe today is the one day in the month I left my iPhone 5 at home and took my wife's 3GS. Bleurgh.
Oh well. I guess the servers might be a bit happier at 5:30PM (EDT) anyway...

Couldn't gt my iPad 2 to download until I connected to power, even though it asked if I wanted to continue without power...
Once I connected to power, it started downloading

I wondered about this... my wifes ipad... can't find the charger (shocker...if u knew her, really... ) so I plugged it into an iPhone charger to try to "fool" it into thinking it had adequate power... ha ha

I'm giving Apple some time to sort it out now that its in the hands of the general public.

My fully optimized iOS 6 is doing very well, no rush here

I hope people aren't expecting all their apps to be updated right away. Be patient.

Would anyone be so kind as to confirm the build to be 11A465?

It's 11A465.

 

[Yendog]

and got to end of download and "operation error"

damn us early adopters.

 

[macchiato2009]

the current built is 11A470a not 66

Bummer. Got it downloading just after it appeared, and after lots of fails got it going with 15 mins remaining: just the right time before I leave work. Then after a while it failed, and restart stuck on 2hrs. Now I need to leave work and the Wi-Fi zone.

 

[Renzatic]

and unfortunately you'll have a long preparation wait as well. At least I seem to be.

Getting the download is the difficult part. Once it's done, the rest is just waiting, which isn't a problem.

Though right now it seems to be chugging along at a decent pace. I'm about 3 quarters of the way to the finish line.

 

[AustinIllini]

Has ANYONE successfully updated yet? Or is it a fail across the board?

"Preparing Update" here. that's post download.

 

[DollFaceDork]

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

Yayyy! Feel free to goto the bathroom now!


I'm just going to do one device at a time...

 

[zjazz]

Itunes says no update available ????? How to update if no update available????

 

[Godzilla71]

Downloaded after around 20-30 tries, now says "preparing to update". Ten minutes of downloading with a 2mb/s connection.

Good luck.

and also good luck with your "preparing to update" wait.

 

[RVijay007]

iTunes 11.1.0 and XCode 5

Are now available via Software Update! YAY!

 

[Amazing Iceman]

I can't download OTA because I need 3GB storage space?!

Yes. Space to download, process and recover in case the update fails.

 

[deason]

I'm still getting the "This version of the iPhone software (6.1.4) is the current version." message

 

[pnoyblazed]

Done preparing now installing/rebooting on iPhone 5 and iPad Mini.

 

[Godzilla71]

Itunes says no update available ????? How to update if no update available????

I am doing it via OTA have you tried that?

 

[xmarcuswildx]

Apple **** never ****ing works correctly.

 

[machpost]

Got it downloading on my iPad 2 on the second try, but it's been sitting at the "Preparing Update" step for 20 minutes or so. The status bar is very slowly creeping along.

 

[kskill]

OTA download going strong.. Started with an estimated 2 hours and 5 minutes later it says 44 minutes remaining. Wooo wool!!

Update: ...it crashed.

 

[skiltrip]

Waiting on this reboot...oooh the anticipation! Not really, but looking forward to poking around v7 on my mini.

 

[Tech198]

doh !!

OTA is dam right...

I just wasted 930MB or so x2 updating on my iPad..

Worse thing is it doesn't time out. It downloads everything, but then i get a "Software update failed."

So i may try from iTunes on desktop.. at least that way i'll have it on the system.

 

[KCMichaelB]

I can't even successfully get the iTunes update. Be back tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

"Preparing Update" here. that's post download.

I'm at the same point on two devices for at least 15-minutes and counting... download took 10-minutes...
