IOS 8 update time 20 hours?

II'm trying to download ios8 on my old iphone 5 as part of a restore.  It says it will take 20 hours!  I realize there is a lot of traffic, but 20 hours?  It was this way at 3am EST and the same now at 9 am.  Any ideas other than wait it out?  I did an internet test (fios) and connection is fine and fast.

  • Ios 5 update time out

    Just bought a new Ipad 2 and am trying to update to IOS 5 but it continually times out before the complete 700+MB has downloaded.

    Many thanks. The firewall/virus strategy didn't help, but going to the link you provided did. I downloaded the IOS5 via my browser and then did a restore on my ipad while holding down the shift key and directing Itunes to the downloaded file. Initially I tried to do it by hitting update - didn't work. I should have read the instructions more carefully.

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Since update to iOS 7, every time I open an app a pop up message telling me to connect to iTunes to use push notifications comes up. EVERY TIME! How do I make it stop???

    Do you use iTunes with your iPad and if so, have you tried syncing your iPad with iTunes since you updated the iOS?

  • I have i phone 4s i there is problem of wifi my wifi is not working when i go to the wifi there is no working on off when i update it as a 6.1 ios on that time again it was good but after 2 days again the same problem i am too tired

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • I have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?

    i have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?

    You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers.  The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari.  Hope this helps!

  • My iPhone 4S camera needs a lot of time to open, after the latest two iOS 6 updates, help?

    Whenever I tap on the camera app, it opens, but I can't take any pictures! It only shows a black screen ( the one that appears when you switch from camera to video) but it doesn't open and it doesn't show the scene or whatever is in front of the camera.
    That is really annoying, it started to happen after that major update that took a lot of time (the first iOS 6 update) and continued after the second,I thought that the second would fix it but it didn't.
    I'm using an iPhone 4S.
    Did this happen to anyone else? If so how did you fix it? -if you did-
    I hope that I get some help about this, it's really annoying me a lot!
    Thanks!

    Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

  • I'm thinking about getting an i pod touch for my daughter. If I get the 4th generation i pod, is it compatible with the ios 7 updates for i phones as far as if she wants to imessage or face time with me?

    The 4G can not run IOS-7.  "6" is the highest that it can go.  You need the 5G for IOS-7.
    However, that won't affect her ability to use iMessage and FaceTime.

  • My iphone  4S is not  completing IOS 7 update. Its been 4 hours.

    What do I do if my iphone 4 S is still not completed the IOS 7 update after 4.5 hours?

    Hi r. rick,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If your iPhone is not responding while running an update, I would suggest following the steps in the following article.

  • HT5503 Every time I try to download the iOS 6 update on my iPhone 4 it tells me there us an error ????

    Every time I try to download the iOS 6 upgrade it just tells me there is an error idk why I've tried almost everything I could think of

    Try these steps:
    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
    See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Ios 5 update on iphone 3gs takes 36 hours???

    ios 5 update on iphone 3gs takes 36 HOURS??? that's the msg i got when i tried to update to ios 5! what the? has anyone run into similar issues when updating their 3gs? Could it be due to the apple servers being overloaded really? Then how come my housemates had no issues updating their iphone 4 to ios 5? is it coz mine's an iphone 3gs?

    Had to restore the phone to fix, after making sure all the possible settings everywhere were United States and English, but it worked. Still find it amazing that an update would change so many settings in so many places, especially the ones that aren't on the phone.
