HT4623 how long does io 7 take to update from io6 on a 4S?

I'm wondering how long it takes for an upgrade of the software to occur?
To upgrade from ios 6 to ios 7, my phone has been hanging for over an hour on the start up screen with a timeline below the apple indicating it is about 33% of the way complate.
The upgrade now has taken about 4 and half hours so far.
As this is the first time I've upgraded the SW, since the 4S was my first iPhone, can anyone give me an indication of what to expect?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, Roger!
I can wait. Managing expectations is the main thing. And learning not to make the same mistake again!
Hope you have a happy holiday season.

    How long does it normally take to convert from a PDF to Excel files?

    Sara-
    I did see your response.  Thanks.  The other thing that happened was after I enabled Adobe on my Dell it apparently knocked out my Mozilla.  Now I can't get internet connection unless I use Internet Explorer which I would prefer not to.  I'm going to visit our IT folks tomorrow and see if I can get some of this resolved.
    The PDF files I obtained that I am trying to transfer to Excel may be too complex because there is a great deal of extraneous text information in the basic document that lies outside of the tables I want to transfer.  I'm going to try and highlight the tables only and see if this works.
    Thanks for taking the time answering.
    Best,
    Henry

  • How long does it typically take to update new apple products?  I'm speaking in terms of software/firmware updates.  My new Apple TV and iPad 3 are glitchy, which is extremely frustrating considering I have the last gen of each sitting there working great.

    How long does it typically take to update new apple products?  I'm speaking in terms of software/firmware updates.  My new Apple TV and iPad 3 are glitchy, which is extremely frustrating considering I have the last gen of each sitting there working flawlessly.

    I appreciate the responses, however my initial post was too vague. I apologize and will explain.  The specific issues are the window closes occasionally when loading something large, that has ceased in the last day or two. My battery life is no where near the second gens, is that the extra hardware at work? I thought that had been accounted for? One of the frustrating, albeit humorous occurrences is when I placed the second and third gen within 1 foot of each other, turned off LTE, and streamed a video.  From every location the second gen out ran the new model on 3G signal, lol.  Not a huge deal since I have wi-fi or LTE pretty much everywhere I am, but disappointing none the less. 
    The new apple tv is great, except for the same thing everyone is posting about. HD iTunes library streaming taking overly extended load times. I don't expect it will take too long  for apple to address that issue. I'm new to apple, last 6 months, but they seem to have excellent support!  It is definetly highly rated.

  • How long does it typically take to update ios5, if you have over 800 pics and 400 sings, How long does it typically take to update ios5, if you have over 800 pics and 400 sings

    How long does it typically take to update ios5? Since update mine has been syncing for hours. I do have over 800 pics and 400 songs. Any ideas?

    My update to iOS 5 took about 75 to 80 minutes. After the update I then had to update some aps and reload from the backup. When iOS 5 is being uploaded there should be some sort of status message in the top pert of iTunes. If this is not changing then I think you have a problem. If the status is changing, even of very slowly, then let it keep running until it's done.

  • HT4623 How long does ios 7 take time to download ?

    How long does ios 7 take time to download???
    For my ipad mini it says 28 hours and my iPhone 4S it says 68 hours!!!
    Why???

    Diavonex:
    My apologies.  I meant to say iOS 7.02, but I guess my wishful thinking for 7.03 being out there got in the way.
    BTW, it took me the better part of 1/2 hour to install 7.02 over top of my existing 7.0 iPad 3rd-gen installation.
    Some suggestions (if not outright hints and tips) for everyone when you upgrade your iPads:
    Make sure you keep at least about 1-2 GBs of free space on your iPad AFTER installing iOS 7 or later, otherwise you may risk seeing your performance suffer big-time.
    I like filling my 64 GB iPad bucket with apps, and shortly after I finished downloading a couple of really HUGE games to fill that remaining 3.5 GBs of space that I had after upgrading from iOS 6 to iOS 7 (notably, Asphalt 8, Megapolis HD, etc), things REALLY started to slow down, and, most importantly, SCREW up, leading to crashes if I opened apps, crashes and restarts just updating apps, even crashes if I swiped to unlock and change a few basic settings
    Hoping some of these performance issues will be addressed in a future iOS 7.1 upgrade, or, at least, we see recognition and guidelines of where this water line should be from Apple.  My guess is, if they do this, they will get about one gazillion articles from the Apple journo community, not to mention a boatload of complaints.
    My gut instinct is saying at least about 1-2 GBs is where this presumably critical operational waterline is, but depending on your iPad, your mileage may vary, so this is just a heads-up and to keep an eye on your usage and storage stats if you see your performance take a hit without warning.
    My current solution: Start deleting apps until you get back to that 1-2 GB free zone level.  I didn't even need to restart to see my performance improve to something approaching enjoyable, if not tolerable.

  • HT1222 How long does it usually take to update?

    I need to know how long it takes to update.

    It spends on what iOS you are updating from. If you are updating from iOS 5 to 6.1,3 and you do it via iTunes on your computer, it could take quite some time. If you don't have a very fast Internet connection it will take even longer. If you are looking for an actual amount of time, it's impossible to say, bit it could take a few hours and it could take 90 minutes. When you update via iTunes you are downloading the entire iOS all over again.
    When you update over WiGi, you are downloading an incremental update and it will not take as long. But once again, if you don't have a fat connection, it will take some time.
    IIRC, I updated from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6 over WiFi in about an hour. When I updated from iOS 6 to 6.1 and then to 6.1.2 or whatever it was, it took about 15 minutes each time over WiFi.

  • HT4623 How long does the latest iPad software update take?

    depends on your wifi connection but otherwise not too long.

  • How Long Does it Normally Take to Update Album Artwork in the iTunes Store?

    My apologies in advance, I know this has probably been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding it.
    This is my first attempt at setting up a podcast in the iTunes Store. I think I have everything set up correctly, but I made a mistake on the album artwork - I created a PNG file with transparency, which appears as black. I have replaced the PNG file with a JPEG file with a different name (as suggested by the Apple instructions), and updated the RSS XML file to reflect that new file name. I also had a typo in the description, which I was using the <description> tag for. I corrected the typo in the <description> tag, and also added an <itunes:summary> tag with the same info.
    I've waited for a few hours with no updates appearing. Is there a way to force the update, or do I just need to wait? I've verified that the raw RSS feed is updated correctly from the site.

    Thanks for the quick reply, Roger!

  • How long does it usually take to backup Adobe Premier projects?

    When you go into the Project Manager and back up the project, so that Premiere copies every file involved to a portable hard drive, along with the project file, so the project can be opened and edited on a different computer, how long does it take?
    I am currently backing up a project with over eight hours of footage in the work area so that I can continue working on it from another computer, and the backup does not seem to be progressing. I do not typically backup projects like this, I usually only save a new version of the project file, so I have no idea what to expect, and it seems to be taking a while.

    Usually till it is finished, give or take a few minutes.
    The question resembles: "How long does it usually take to travel from A to B?"
    The answer is: It depends. It depends on traffic jams on the route (what are the specs of your system), the transportation means (what kind of portable hard disk and the interface), the amount of luggage taken along (how much source material and what codec), does one take a rest while en route or stop for gas (what background processes are running), etc.

  • How long does mountain lion take to download?

    On average how long does mountain lion take to download from the app store?

    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.

  • So I created an account yesterday and I still havn't gotten the verification email. How long does it usually take to recieve that?

    I can't use my $25 card because I havn't gotten the verification email, but I set up my account last night and I keep trying to resend the email, but I still havn't got anything yet. How long does it usually take to get it?

    What model iPhone you have is completely irrelevant. How long it will take to download iTunes is dependent on the speed of your Internet connection.

  • How long does it usually take to get added raw support (nex5n)?  i pretty much just use aperture 3 and love it but why does lightroom from adobe seem to get raw support faster than Apple's Aperture 3.  Also FCPX lacks v Adobe on 60p.

    How long does it usually take to get raw support for Aperture 3?  Is it slowed by Apple or camera company.  I only ask because Lightroom has support for nex5n raw but Aperture 3 does not.  Also direct import into Adobe premiere  and ability to edit in 60p.  However, support for 60 p not as easily worked with in FCPX.  I am just surprised Apple does not keep pace with these type of updates that Adobe does.  Don't get me wrong I love and use Apple software  when I can but I wish Apple was ahead of adobe in getting this support.  I guess more of a vent than a question.

    Yes, more of a vent.
    FWIW I agree. 
    Camera companies keep RAW specs confidential so firms like Apple and Adobe have to (sort of) reverse-engineer to develop RAW converters for each new camera. The good news is to my eyes/brain Apple usually does a slightly better job at it than Adobe does. The best RAW conversions (logically) come from the camera manufacturers.
    Apple gives up market share with slow support for new cameras. IMO really DUMB. It has at least been improving...
