same as GM?

Hey Apple, fix this damn loop when accepting the new iTunes Terms and Conditions. This is BS.

Same is happening here.

I knocked over an old woman as I was running home to get on my wifi network, so I could download iOS 8.

That was you?? Because of you, I am now in the hospital with a broken hip, and I am trying to get them to delay my surgery, because the iOS 8 download over their crappy Wifi network is so slow!

Interesting, I have upgrade running on iPod 5g and iPad mini, but 4s still says there is no update available.

*** update **** on iPod, it initially said 4 minutes, but has now jumped to 10 minutes, the iPad (which I started second) has finessed and is preparing update!

 

[fotuwe]

OTA .... yes
iTunes ... no

That's not what he meant. You'll see it under About after update. Here's hoping it's 12A365

lol it's the same

The joke is on the people with an 8 GB 5c. Delete all your apps and photos so you can install the update.

Or they could just plug it in to their computer - it'd need less storage then.

 

[fup4000]

install

anyone have just the install disk image?

 

[MarcusCarpenter]

1.1GB (for iPhone 5s)

Really? GM was much bigger, provide a screenie please

 

[Naimfan]

Is Apple pushing it to all eligible devices? I hope not . . .

 

[HawkBYU]

Preparing Update...

 

[refslady]

Well my iPad Air's gonna get some iOS8 love. Not gonna try it on iPhone 4S.

I'm putting on my 4s because I have a 6 being delivered on Friday. However, my husband is keeping his 4s, so I'm testing it for him before he attempts the upgrade.

 

[iCore24]

Requires 6.9GB on iPad Air!!!!! And iTunes keeps saying IOS 7.1.2 is the latest -_-

 

[Milese3]

It's not showing up for me.

 

[Richardgm]

To everyone asking: It's the same build as GM.

 

[deviant]

I always follow what Apple is up to but I haven't the foggiest idea what is new in iOS8. Probably the first time that's been the case for me with either iOS or OSX.

there's a huge list of what's new in ota update. READ IT.

 

[Taylor-C]

Originally said 2 hours, now gone down to 49 minutes.

 

[Polyphonie]

Anyone else getting "Update Requested... Your software update request has been received. You will be notified when the update has been downloaded and is ready to install."

Normally, when I hit download it begins immediately.

I got that and I just waited a bit and now it says "Downloading" although I'm not seeing any progress bar.

Major iOS update is always like this- a lot of waiting.

 

[Got Haggis?]

Unable to Check for Update OTA message for me, heh

 

[dugbug]

Wait, I thought HealthKit was delayed... wouldn't that cause them to delay iOS 8?

I thought just the apps that used it were pulled. Probably a signatures hiccup much like the extensions issue (I don't know for sure, just guessing)

 

[EdgardasB]

Really? GM was much bigger, provide a screenie please

Here also for 5S 1.1GB

 

[JWD]

Hard to update on 16GB devices too... full of apps... looking forward to 64GB of storage

 

[MyDataMyProbs]

All this new stuff is incredible. Give me my black Mac keyboard, with swipe and I'll be, as usual, a perfectly happy consumer/customer.

 

[dingdong]

Look forward to all the BUGS and battery complaints

Installing now on my iPhone 5- its last hurrah before I get a 6 later this fall.

Not gonna install it on my iPad Mini because its A5 chip is the same as the 4S and Im not ok with a laggy experience. It'll stay on 7.1.2
