How long does it take to upgrade iphone 3g?

i was on the i-tunes site and accepted an opportunity to upgrade my 3g, hours later....
how long does it typically take?  thanks!

imagine, kilted tom, that if i am on some apple support community site asking such dumb-*** questions and providing inadequate information, i might be just some average person who bought an i-phone, know little about it and even less about how internet connection speeds work. 
imagine too, that we all in fact have different areas of expertise, and i am seeking support because this situation draws on none of mine.
now, i suspect you might know whether it would be three days or six to eight hours to download this frickin' upgrade,and i asked you what information might help you give me some idea, but instead you want to get a little pissy about the topic.  not my interest to engage. 
do you see what i'm getting at here?  thanks for your attempt to help.  hope you earned some points. have an awesome day!

  • How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped?

    How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped. I ordered my iphone on sept 20 6:00 pm and right next to the "preparing to ship" it still says 7-10 days and apple already took the money out of my account?

    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 upgrade eligiblity to show up after returning phone?

    I returned a phone in store today and already receieved the credit on my account, but it shows that I am not eligible for an upgrade on my line. I was wondering how long it usually takes for my upgrade eligiblity to show back up after returning a phone. Thanks!

    Always make sure this is reset before leaving the store. But a simple call to customer service should get it fixed right away.

  • TS3992 how long does it take for my iphone to backup, very few pic, just contacts

    How long will it take my Iphone to back up, I only have a few pic, mabey 50 contacts.

    Contacts are not backed up since they are in their own database (the one used for syncing).  I have a few pics also, and an initial backup took several minutes at 454 MB.
    Go to: 
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, there you'll find how much the last backup was, and if you tap the device name under "Backups", you see the "Next Backup Size" for the next backup.

  • How long does it take for my iphone to get repaired/replaced and sent back to me?

    I just sent it away today.

    Depends on how far away it had to be send and how long it takes to repair the device.
    You can check repair status anytime > Repair Status
    Since you just shipped the iPhone today, there may not be any status updates for 24 to 48 hours.

  • How long does it take to upgrade bb software.....??

    My phone has been updating for nearly 2hours and all its saying now is ''Checking for blackberry device software updates'' i thinking of just pulling the lead out nowwww

    To get through the upgrade will take an hour or more.  To just check for the upgrade, which I believe is what your phone is doing, should take about 10 seconds.
    As Sonic suggested, yank that battery out and try again.

  • HT1688 How long does it take for an iphone to master reset?

    I performed a reset this morning to clear my phone of all data and info. Its been four hours and my phone continues to show a black screen and in the middle there is a wheen spinning. Im just curious as to if I have totally messed my phone up or if it just takes a very long time to wipe it.  Thank You!

    If  a device restart/reset doesn't work

    I'd try recovery /restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    or dfu mode
    DFU Mode
    DFU mode[1] is a state that you can put your iPhone into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader (this is what really differs DFU mode from recovery mode). DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.
    While connected to PC, running iTunes, hold down Home and Power( button on upper right edge) button for exactly 8 seconds. 
    Release the power button.  Restore message will appear in iTunes.  The device will be recognized by iTunes, but no display will appear on the device itself.  The lack of a display on the device will verify that it is in dfu mode.

    I think once you can get it out of the "spinning wheel" mode, you will be OK.  My experience has also been great with visits to the Genius bar.  If you live close to one they are really helpful. 

  • How long does it take to upgrade

    I started the process a few hours ago.   It went through the download, restart, upgrade.  Then it restarted again as per the application.   It has been sitting there spinning now for about 1.5 hours.   
    The screen has a Circle with a bar through it and below it the spinning - " I am doing something icon ".     Do I wait longer or am I in a spot where there may be no return.
    I have a Mac Book Pro (2009/2010).  It was running the latest software release of Lion 10.7.  I updated all software before starting the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    No errors at all until it reboots after installation.  The only error is the continual spinning of the "I am doing something icon". 
    I will have to sit with this for a bit, let my system cool down. 
    For the most part my files are saved on an external drive.   Music and my phone backup are about what I may loose "if" I have to reinstall after formatting.  All my apps are downloadable again. 
    Hmmmmm. I really do not want to have to blow it away.   Tomorrow I will see if I can sash into it and recover some files.   
    Any other ideas are welcome.
