How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.

How long does it take to download and install full feature software for Officejet 4500 g510g-m?

I have been updating my software in hopes I can get my Officejet 4500 g510g-m to work wirelessly but the full feature software has been at the "installing software" stage for over an hour. Is this normal? Also, anyone know where I can find a step by step guide on setting up my printer for wireless use? Is it even possible?

The download speed is dependent on many things, but is often a factor of your Internet provider's service. If you are on basic DSL, then over an hour is not out of line. If you are on cable, something is wrong.

How Long does it take to receive a space grey iPhone 5s in November, 2013?

I ordered online a 16 gb Space Grey iPhone 5s on November 5th. The Verizon website said it would ship within 2 days of November 6th. Well....it's almost the beginning of December and I'm still getting the "order being processed, check back tomorrow" message when I check the status of my order. I'm starting to think if you order online you are stuck at the back. They might have the phones at the stores so they get the people who wander into the Verizon stores can get their phones before they can change their minds. Would I be best served by canceling my order and just going to a Verizon or Apple store. I waited a couple of months before ordering assuming it wouldn't take this long. Anyone order online something similar recently and received their phone?

the_other_gray,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with receiving your order. At the time of your purchase, the device was on back order until December 5th. Did you receive an email confirmation that you order was received? We can check the order status for you, but the shipping should be within the next few days. Please follow me at TonyG_VZW and provide your number, name, billing password and confirmation number and we can definitely check on this for you.
Thank you,

HT201412 How long does it take to download OS 6 to Iphone 3gs?

Download to OS 6 seemed to work OK until Phone starts download. It starts off ok. But about 3/4 of upgrade, it comes to a stop. No error messages. It remained in the 3/4 upgrade for some time. Tried to restore. Samething. What other options are available?

The time is dependent on the speed of your internet connection. OS X ML is approximately 4+GBs.

How long does it take to download iOS 6 to iPhone 4S over the air ?

I've been waiting for over 2 hours now and it says 1 min left then 1 min after it says 2 hours left

How are you downloading, wireless or wired via iTunes? The two are very different file sizes. Wired is more than 1 GB and wireless is something like 100 MB. Mine took less than 10 min start to finish on wireless with a high speed Verizon FiOS line.
If it has started, ride it out.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET iPHOTO BOOK?

I would like to order my first HARD COVER book and since I am not living in USA, my friend would bring the book back to Europe.
But the only problem is that, she will be there only two days, so the book must be at the address, she will be living on 9th of February.
When do I need to place the order? How long does it take to get the album?
Thank you for your help.

Can't say - no idea where it is going to or what will be going on them
If it were me I'd say that the extra cost was a cheap insurance policy against external forces messing things up - but you make that decision
Waiting three days to order and shipping ground rather than express will increase the chances of it not making it - probably still 95% + (guessing of course) that it will but every day you wait makes the chances less and not using the fastest shipping also increases the chances of failure
If money is the issue then ordering today rather than Wed would be a good idea to me
Good Luck

MAVERICKS...
Check here to see if your Mac is compatible...

If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
NOTE:
It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Major Update or Upgrade.

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?

Thanks.

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

How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick. Drag and drop should be how this works. So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen). It appeared to upload just fine. So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone. And no document.
I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient? Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices? I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection. I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site. I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts. iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

How long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase

how long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase? I used a $15 gift card, it was redeemed, and it showed up in my itunes account on my phone but after buying songs, the credit did not decline from 15, even after I restarted itunes on my phone.

Nt sure on O2, but that seems to be a long time, you need to call your carrier and make sure they dont need to activate it. I believe they do.

Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software on a 5s?

How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software in a iPhone?

There are three major portions involved in a restore:
1. Downloading the latest copy of iOS to your Mac for installation on the iPhone.
2. Installing the software from your Mac onto the iPhone.
3. Restoring all the contents of your iPhone (except iOS, which was done in the above step).
Step 1 will depend on your Mac's download speed. We are talking about downloading more than 1GB.
Step 2 should take about 10 minutes or less.
Step 3 will depend on how much personal stuff (e.g., apps, photos, music) you had on your iPhone. It might take minutes, or an hour or more.
