Preparing Update... Preparing Update... Preparing Update... Preparing Update... Hurry!

 

[DudeDad]

Could you guys stop trying to update...I'd like to do so and your attempts are causing me great delay.

Prepping taking forever!

Is anyone else getting

"Your software update has been received. You will be notified when the update has been downloaded and is ready to install"

Just give it a few minutes.

OTA-jusy looking at a spinning wheel as it accessing nothing.
iTunes-either reports and error reaching server or tells me 7.1.2 is the current IOS. Apple get your $h*t together. WTH?!

iOS8 = A Total HOG

Ha, my iPad Air needs 6.9 GB of free space. My iPad is 16GB. This should be interesting clearing up space....

Yikes! Right now this install is a deal breaker as I'm not about to clear off one third of my iPad's apps, etc. to perform the task.

Boo Apple

It should start showing percentage soon unless the servers are jammed. Glad I tried a little before 1 o'clock.

"Unable to Check for Update" message keeps coming up. I tried for about 15 minutes. I'll come back later.

I still don't understand how apple doesn't prepare more for launch days like these. Every year there are the same issues when trying to update..

 

[mattwashere88]

Download was super fast, the update has been "preparing" for twice as much time..

 

[rjflyn]

Sits back with coffee watching Apples servers get slammed and people whine.

IOS 8 OTA for me is jumping around on time from 18 to 25 mins with like 25% done ...





tv update is only 14 mins to update

This is why I get the GM when it comes out - none of this trouble!

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

If you install through iTunes (when it's ready) then you should be fine without deleting stuff.

Requires 4.6GB, so anyone on a 16GB iPhone is basically screwed
