Apple Maps - How long does it take for a new entry to be approved?

Like many other small business, my listing is missing in the new Apple Maps app and customers are having difficulty in finding me on their iphones.
Last Friday I attempted to add my business using these instructions - http://www.didgeroo.com/blog/41-tips-tricks/282-how-to-add-your-business-listing -to-apple-maps I also added a listing to Yelp.
It's almost a week now and my business still does not appear when searching Apple Maps. My Yelp listing is there, but nothing in Apple Maps.
Has anyone had any luck adding their business to Apple Maps? How long did it take to appear after you submitted a report?
I guess there must be a huge backlog at Apple. Would be nice if the process was more transparent - e.g. details of the approval process would help.

I'll take a look. This is pure speculation - I am guessing that the department store updated because there were enough signals from other data sources that confirmed your change. For example, I believe Apple's primary source of business listings data in Switzerland is TomTom. If you search for Globus in Zurich in TomTom at https://mycompany.places.tomtom.com/ there is a result for the address Theaterstrasse 12 zurich - http://places.tomtom.com/de_ch/detail/globus/zurich/63747953026467150.
So perhaps Apple was getting signals from other data sources that conflicted with TomTom and signaled "EPA". And your update overrode all of the other signals because it matched the TomTom data. BTW, not sure this means anything, but there are two listings for this business in TomTom. One of them links to the wrong website I think https://www.google.com/search?oq=site%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&q=si te%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&pws=0
Of course, it could have been any number of other screw-ups as well
You may want to search all of the known data suppliers and Google for queries like "epa Theaterstrasse 12 zurich" to try to find the out of date data sources. If you find any let us know, as this will be a key "paper trail" to figuring out how Apple gets some of it's data.

How Long does it take for a NEW PODCAST to appear in iTunes?

I was curious if maybe you know the answer to this question- How long does it take for a brand new podcast, once submitted to iTunes, to appear in the podcast section of iTunes? Does it really take 5 days? And, will I receive an email once it's on there? Thanks!

Hi,
I found the answer to this question after doing two podcasts.
It takes about week and half to be fully listed. When you first submit you receive an automated email. Emailed to the email address of your podcast feed. Then your podcast page is created for itune store and you receive another email that it's approved. You should receive this email sometimes two days after you received the first but it still won't be browse able until another few weeks(ie. listed in category). In the mean time don't remove your podcast feed file from your hosting account and don't make changes which will change the link to the feed you submitted.
The only other part I couldn't figure out was why podcasts episodes don't come up when keywords from episode sections of podcast feed are typed in itune search box.

How long does it take for a new episode to become available?

My cable is out, but there's a new episode of a show I want to watch tonight at 7pm. How long does it usually take for new episodes to appear on the Itunes store?

It is usually 24-48 hours, but please keep in mind that the store is at the mercy of the networks to provide the files for distribution. If there is any sort of hang-up at the network, the episode will not be delivered to the store in the expected timeframe.

How long does it take for your App Updates to be approved

When I first submitted an App to the App Store, it felt like it only took a couple days for it to be approved, but now that I've submitted an update, it's been over five days now that it's been In Review.
Is anybody else noticing the same thing?

Yes same here.
I can only guess its on purpose, its Apples attempt to stop people submitting lots of tiny updates.
They want you to get it right FIRST TIME, and if not, make sure you fix it properly in a single update.

How long does it take for the custom field created in SFDC to show up in the field mapping list? I hit the refresh field button, but it is not showing up after 5 min. Do I just need to have patience?

Hi,
What do you have to do to the field in SFDC to make it accessible so that it shows up in the Eloqua field mapping area as a field to be mapped?

How long does it take for apple to review my free Pages,Numbers & Keynote

how long does it take for apple to review my free Pages,Numbers & Keynote
It seems it's in review, bummer, 3 calls over 50 hrs and always in review. The blame seems goes to holiday traffic ? Shades of Obamacare !
I always thought Apple was in tune with customer issues, guess not.

Don't know what you mean by "review", but this may be relevent:

How long does it take for an iPhone 5 to deliver? i know it says........

if you have recently bought an iphone on apple.com, how long did it take for it to deliver to your house? i know it says 2-3 weeks but does it actually take that long?

Apple.com has notoriously given very accurate assessments of their ship dates. Keep checking back there for updates. The place to look is in the Store ... find the "Account" button near the upper right.

How long does it take for them to review your proof of purchase?

I need a replacement for my iPod mini, and even though my Apple account information clearly states that it is still covered under the one-year warranty, they requested that I fax them a proof of purchase. I finally managed to get a credit card printout from Best Buy and I just faxed it to them earlier today, but my online repair status still says "pending review of proof of purchase." How long does it take for Apple to review the proof of purchase? Time is running out and my warranty expires on July 6th.

Was this resolved for you? I have a similar issue.

How long does it take for the storage to be upgraded? I bought some 12 hours ago and it still hasn't gone on my iPhone 4

Hi Katie,
Where are you looking on your phone to determine how much storage you now have? Are you looking under Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?
If so, and it still doesn't show the correct storage, try resetting your phone. Hold down the Home and Power buttons and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. Then check your storage again.
Post back with questions!
Cheers,
