How long is it taking you to download the iOS 5.x update?

I started the download in iTunes and it showed 45 minutes remaining. I am down to about 21 minutes, but these updates take forever to download. I had similar lengthy downloads with the iOS 4.x downloads. I have a 10 MB/s internet connection and am connected on a Wi-Fi network.
I thought the new updates were supposed to be deltas, but even for an non-delta download, these things are interminably slow.
(iPhone 4 updating from iOS 5.0)

Thanks for the clarification on the OTA delta update. I just find it amazing how slow these things are. It is quicker and easier to download and update a real OS update (even the non-delta) than this silly thing.

I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad air and each time I try to download the IOS 8.1 update I get the message "software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8." What is wrong? This problem is ridiculous and frankly annoying

How long does it normally take to download the windows support software

I am trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 but the system seems to freeze during "Downloading Windows support software..." Does anyone know how long this process normally should take?

600MB so should, 10 minutes max, real? too long by 8 hrs
this is what "support for Windows on Mac" ever since.it went to a DL service
Compare that to 1000s of people installing Lion, iOS and other updates
and that no change or improvement in months and the yr since it was offered.
This is what lack of having a DVD in part, or not just post forall Mac ownerslike any other motherboard vendor does for customers.ps I have had adl link but it is no longer current latest driver set I've been told.

How do I un-download the iOS 5.1 update?

I downloaded it from my phone and have not installed it yet, and I really don't want to install it after reading many topics. I cannot be without my phone and I do not have any other communications device on hand.
I do not want to accidentally install it, either. Is there a way I can remove the download from my phone anywhere? Please and thanks for any answers.

Richard, thank you for the false information. It did install overnight without my permission.
In other words: If you haven't already, do not even download the update from your phone. It WILL install.
However, I have not noticed any battery loss or signal drops. I am still at full charge and still have five bars 3-5 bars, which I usually have at any given time.

I tried to download the IOS 8.3 update but my phone has been frozen on a white loading screen for four hours. How do I fix this problem?

My phone is completely frozen and the update has not loaded for four hours. How do I fix the problem without losing all of my stuff?

You're saying you don't back up your phone regularly? You should ALWAYS back up before updating your phone. That said, try resetting first: hold down the home button and the power button for at least 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple. Hopefully you can then try to perform the update again. Start doing backups if your data is important to you.

If you're doing the full update it's almost a gig of data, take a bit to download that. It usually comes down to your internet connection.

Always keep an eye on 'More like this', the column to the right of your initial post. You will often find answers and direct leads to your questions there.
In fact it relates to your ISP and the download speeds you have. I believe it is 4GB in size.

Go to the Purchases Tab in the App Store and Accept the apps.
Then you'll be able to update them.
