Apple has placed a temporary authorization amount hold in my card for repair. My old iphone has been received by apple. how long does it take to release the amount?

How long it takes depends partially on your bank. Once they release it, it could take several days for the authorization to roll off of your account. It is generally not a problem unless you're using a debit card, which will lock the funds in your checking account and make them unavailable, which I presume you did or you wouldn't be worried about it.
This is not unique to Apple. That's a problem when using debit cards for any purchase.  Several years ago, when gas prices spiked to $4 a gallon here, gas stations would routinely authorize and hold upwards of $100 every time you tried to pay at the pump. Created some major headaches for the working stiffs just trying to get to their jobs and pay the bills.

  • HT4623 Approximately how long should it take to update the iOS 7.0.2.....?  So far it has taken over 8 hours and the bar is still not half way.

    Approximately how long should it take to update the iOS 7.0.2....?  So far it has been over 8 hours and the bar is not even half way....

    Something have gone wrong somewhere.
    Try and reset your iPad.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

    With regard to what? I assume that since the link connected to your question was from the "How to update your iDevice" kb article, you are talking about seeing this behavior after you updated the iPad.
    So, if that's the case, it really shouldn't take but a minute or so, if it even takes that long. If this has been going on for minutes and minutes, the update process is stuck now. You can try restarting the iPad and see if the iPad behaves normally. That might be all that you need to do to set things right again. If restarting just takes you back to this page loading again, you can try rebooting the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How long does it take to restore firmware.My phone has been in recovery for 3 hours now?

    How long does it take to restore firmware on iphone5.The phone is only 3 week old and has been in recovery mode for nearly 3 hours now?

    - No. That is too long. What does the status bar in iTunes say the iPod is doing?
    - Terminate the sync. Force close iTunes if necessary then reboot the computer. Also reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try again. If still problem come back with what the status bar says when it stopped.

  • HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
    i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
    But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
    my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
    the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

  • How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
    I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
    Thanks.

    We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !

  • How long does it take to get a refund from Apple?

    I returned my MacBook on the 6th or 7th day of having it, and paid the re-stocking fee, 2 weeks ago. Yet I still have no refund. How long does it take to get my refund?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well it shouldn't take 2 weeks.
    Call Apple to find out what the status is on your refund or you can go to the Apple store and find out what's going on in person.
    Just curious, but why did you return your MacBook?
    You should give in another try!

  • I was prompted to update my apple tv. That was two hours ago and its still preparing update. How long does it take!

    How long does it take to update Apple Tv.  Its been more then two hours and its only in step 1 of 2?

    Assuming your credit card info is accurate the entire transaction should just take a few seconds.
    You don't need to download a new version of QuickTime Player 7 Pro. All you need is the email confirmation of your name and registration number. Enter that into your existing version of Player 7 and the pro features are "unlocked".

  • I bought an iPhone 5 from someone, how long does it take for his Apple ID to come off

    I bought an iPhone 5s from someone second hand, he had put it back to factory settings but when I tried to use it it asked for his Apple ID and password, I contacted him to ask for him to delete his id from the phone, how long does it take after he does that for me to be able to set up the phone with my details?

    This is what should have been done:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If the seller didn't do the above, you need to get the seller to do this. If you don't, you won't be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
    I suspect you may have been scammed.
