If you have problems at the verification stage after the Preparing Update stage, just back up and come into Software Update in OTA again. It does NOT require re-downloading. After a few attempts both of my devices got passed it and moved forward.
 
Got that a few times I am bracing myself for it to happen again.

LOL As if this update not working right is something worth actually bracing for.

I don't know if rebooting the phone will solve it, but I don't want to redownload it either if it gets erased after a re boot.
 
My iPhone 4 updated beautifully after more than two dozen failed attempts. To bad my 4 will be retired in two days for a new 5S.
 
I don't see the spotlight yet. When I pull down then I get my stock notifications and that is it.

Swipe down from the middle of any home screen, not from the top of the screen. Top of the screen for Notification Center, anywhere below that for Spotlight. :D
 
Why must I be an early adopter?????!???? iPhone gods... please activate my phone already!
 
Anyone having any problem texting? It freezes for a minute when I open up Messages, and then when I type something, it wont let me hit send.
 
I did a clean install to my iPhone 4 and it will not activate...why does it need to activate?

Any help would be appreciated.

Give the activation servers a chance.

Clean install can be done via itunes or you can just do a reset and erase all from the phone, effectively the same thing.

Awesome ill try that!
 
I got the update unavailable message, after downloading, about 5 times before the install went through. Just keep trying.
 
Just installed mine (Arizona) and it worked. I did have to restart my computer after updating iTunes. Not loving the new OS yet. I find it difficult to read/see the apps and info on my phone now as everything is so light and lacking textures. I do see some new functions that will be great/efficient but overall, this will be a BIG adjustment for me and others I think. Why so light Ive?
 
iTunes update was incredibly fast. 10-15min to download and then 5 min to install in on the ipad. I did a restore and update.
 
Anyone else get an activation error? I'm assuming it's because the servers are being pillaged at the moment.

Yeah, I got the same message on my iPad 4 when I was trying to update OTA to iOS 7. After a few tries it finally started updating but it's very slow, it says I got about 3h left updating.

By the way you have to make sure you have enough free space for iOS 7, which requires 3.4 GB of free space on your device.
 
Final Build Number

Can anyone give me the final build number for iPhone 5? I have the GM and the developer site shows the same build number of IOS 11A465. Is this correct?

No. I'm referring to this.

Otterbox, Griffin Armored Cases and Command Center

Have fun with trying to get command center to come up from swiping from the bottom....

Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't...unless you take the protective faceplate off then it works all the time.

Apple needs to address this.
