Why is my ios7.1 update taking 4 hours

First try at update ended with update failed message. Second attempt is showing 4 or 5 hours remaining on the download. Download is via wifi but that is the only I use the device. I had already updated three other devices with no problems. If it is now an issue with the server, is there any way to stop the download?

First, your battery remaining is a model. Post update that model needs to be rebuilt. Try to use your battery down to about ten percent then charge it up to one hundred. Do this three times.
Next, go into settings battery and see what is using the battery.If you are backing up or restoring from the cloud, your cellular or WiFi radios are being used a good deal. Otherwise you might have an errant program. Do you have the Facebook app? some have reported that being a problem.

      Because all those people who said "I'll cleverly wait until the day after the initial release to download" are all piling on today.
    Seriously, the server loads will likely taper off by the weekend, if you want to wait.

  • HT2404 why is os X update taking so long I tried to download it and would not finish.

    why is os X update taking so long I tried to download it and would not finish downloading..

    It's been a few days since the original post.  If you use Software Update again now, do you still have this problem?
    Also, what is the name and version number of the update?  If you can't get Software Update to do it for some reason, you can search for that update on Apple Support, then download and install it manually.
    Before you do that, run Disk Utility (which is on Applications/Utilities).  Select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Click Verify Disk.  This will check to make sure there is nothing is wrong with your startup disk.  If there is a problem reported, that may be causing the problem with Software Update.

  • Why is the icloud update taking so long on IOS 7 ?

    i am updating IOS 7 and it have been an hour that " updaying icloud settings" has been loading on my phone. should it be taking this long or is my phone messed up ?

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Do a clean (re-)install instead:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Why Is Lion Recovery Update Taking So Long?

    I got the update around 10:15 NYC time, I started it at that time.  It is now 11:50pm, and only 88MB of 888 MB have been downloaded.  Why is this taking so long??? My MacBook Pro is completely up to date (10.7.1) and I have very fast internet service.  This should zip along.  It's not.  At this rate, won't be done till the morning. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Ah so.....just like the trouble I had with iOS 5 earlier.  Thanks

  • Why is the ios7 update freezing at the "updating iCloud settings" page?

    I have updated to ios7, but when i get to the last few steps, the phone stays on the updating iCloud settings forever till the screen locks and i have to start over. Is this normal? What am i doing wrong or what can i do to fix it?

    Same on iPad2. If you skip it you can use the device, BUT you cannot go into the iCloud setting.   It ends up freezing the settings panel.

  • Updated ipad 2 to 5.0.1 and it's not veryfing update taking hours?

    I went in to the software update to update to 5.0.1 on my ipad 2, after hours it is still trying to verify? Does anyone know what I should do.

    Do you have a firewall or antiviral software that could be interfering? You often need to turn these items off to update/upgrade successfully.

  • Why is the software update taking so long?

    The pop-up box, "Software Update; Downloading Firefox; Connecting to the update server...", has appeared for the past three days, at different times. There is a progress bar within it that is scrolling, repeatedly, not ending.
    This pop-up box only has a "Hide" button.
    How long must this pop-up box be active?
    Once prior today I did click the "Hide" button, but the pop-up box reappeared. Please give me some feed back.

  • HT4946 I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup - why would this be, how can I make it faster so I can get the latest IOS update?

    I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup, what can I do to make this faster?

    I'm thinking that you have a corrupt backup. You can try this if you want to give it a shot.
    Without connecting the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See how many backups you have for the iPad. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one. Click on the backup in the window and then click on Delete.
    Quit iTunes, connect the iPad and then try again.

  • Why is my old Apple ID showing for iCloud account after IOS7 update?

    So, about a year ago I switched from a local internet service provider to Google Fiber.  As such, my email account from the internet service provider was shut down, and I moved my email to a Gmail account.
    I used to have my Apple ID set to [email protected], but just before switching to Google Fiber, I updated the Apple ID to [email protected].  I have been using the @gmail.com Apple ID for about a year now to purchase items in iTunes and backup my iPhone and iPad to iCloud.  My previous purchases under @isp.com in iTunes were still there and available for download.
    Last night, I updated to iOS 7 on my iPhone.  I was never prompted to "restore" from a backup during the upgrade.  When I finally got into the phone, all of my apps, photos, music, etc. were there.  I went to run a backup on iCloud from the iPhone, and found the iCloud settings show my Apple ID to be @isp.com, instead of @gmail.com.  With the new security features in iOS 7, I can't change the Apple ID (the field is grayed out), restore the device, or delete the exiting iCloud backup, without knowing the password for the old Apple ID of @isp.com, which I haven't used in over a year.
    I have read several other posts about changing the Apple ID back to the old email address, then verifying that email in order to change the password to something new, but in my case, I don't have that option since the old email address has been shut down.  I called Apple Support and they were baffled by this. After a half hour of troubleshooting, their only suggestion was to do a full "Erase All Content & Settings", and then set up the iPhone as a "new device", before trying to restore from the @gmail.com Apple ID.  The problem here is that the option to "Erase" also feeds into the new security features for iOS 7, and requires the old password from when I was using my Apple ID as @isp.com. 
    I'm all about the increased security, but it seems this has essentially locked out a ton of users from getting to their own stuff, simply because at some point they changed their Apple ID.
    It seems a number of people are having this problem, so if anyone finds a solution to this, please let me know.

    Thanks mellaguy - makes me feel a little better knowing there are others out there experiencing the same problem!
    A short time ago, iCloud mysteriously let me sign in using my current password from the @gmail.com Apple ID, which I had tried probably 30 times before.  It's almost like iOS7 on my device suddenly connected with the iCloud servers, and obtained the most "current" information?
    Apple Support told me earlier today that when I changed the Apple ID login from @isp.com to @gmail.com last year, I was simply updating an existing "account", and did not create a separate account.  This was why all of my previous purchases under @isp.com were still available for download, etc.  They said that despite the fact my old @isp.com Apple ID was showing after the iOS7 update, I should be able to enter the current password for the @gmail.com Apple ID.  When that didn't work, I went to iCloud on my Mac and changed my password.  Even after changing the password to something new, it still didn't work on my iPhone running on iOS7.  Mysteriously, after 30+ attempts to login using the new password, it suddenly accepted it.  It had literally denied my password repeatedly within 5 minutes before it accepted it, which is why I thought maybe it suddenly connected to the server and recognized the current login credentials for my account.
    I'm not sure why it suddenly decided to let me sign in, but I've finally managed to disable the "Find my iPhone" feature long enough to change the iCloud Apple ID to @gmail.com and start a backup (still in progress).
    The one thing I can't tell from the other threads I'm reading is if this is a widespread iOS7 issue on all devices, or if it is isolated to a particular device (or model).  I'm hesitant to upgrade my iPad2 until I see more on this issue.

  • HT4623 Why do my iPhone cords for my 5 say it is not certified and may not work with this device? It's the same cord that came with my phone. The only difference is the iOS7 update.

    Since the ios7 update I go to use my camera and switch to video and it won't switch ! ..why is this ? HELP

    Thanks stedman1 for continuing to push this interface change news...   I must have taken 100 photos last night (of my shoes) trying to switch to video (unsuccessfully).   Very frustrating.
    OTOH, like many Apple interface innovations, it is simple to learn and easy to remember.  
    Honestly, that's all we can ask for, there really ain't no intuitive. 

  • Why materialized view taking hours and yet not created

    hi,
    i am trying to create the following MV
    create materialized view MV1
    force on demand
    start with date 1 next date2
    AS
    select query 1--> complex query that return approcimately 2 millions rows
    union all
    select query2 --> complex query that returns 300K rowsit has been taking hours i.e > 4 hrs and still unable to create the MV
    w/o the create materialized view statement i am able to return the results from the union of the 2 queries
    what might be the possibility ?
    tks & rdgs

    Issue could be due to the complexity of your query..Even i faced the same issue when i worked on materialized views.It was taking too long to create materialized view and then we splitted the query and created two materialized views.
    Finally created a View for those MV's.You can also try the same
    Materialized View Log
    When you create a materialized view using the FAST option you will need to create a view log on the base tables.A fast refresh uses materialized view logs to update only the rows that have changed since the last refresh.
    When DML changes are made to the master table's data, Oracle stores rows describing those changes in the materialized view log and then uses the materialized view log to refresh materialized views based on the base table. This process is called an incremental or fast refresh.Without a materialized view log, Oracle must reexecute the materialized view query to refresh the materialized view. This process is called a complete refresh.Usually, a fast refresh takes less time than a complete refresh.

    How are you trying to update, direct on your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update, or via your computer's iTunes ? If via your computer then you will need iTunes 11.1 installed : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
