iPhone iOS 4 Release: Download Time UK and US

goddam. Why cant apple uk have a seperate server. i stayed up till 1 so could download ios4 n now i get told 5/6 tonight. If each national branch of apple had its own servers there wud be no update failures like with ios3.

hy thanks for your information i was waiting from long time for this news

How do I back up my films from my iphone 3gs (unhacked) back to my pc?

I think they have separate servers, but a global release is a global release and staggering it to suit the daylight hours of the world would be a larger issue. I am in Australia and am starting to thing I will have to wait a few extra days to get access to it. But will I stay up until 12am on the promise of an editorial about a release date and/or time… No. Will I install it when it seems to be ready and tested by others (at least for a day) and finally, when it's during work hours so I could get emergency support if it goes pear-shaped… Yes. I am really looking forward to it, but don't unwarap your bike-shaped pressie from under the tree until your parents are up and willing to help you ride it.

Because the die hard fans would just use a ip hider so they can download from the server that releses the update first

if you put the films on yourself then you're shit outta luck, if you bought them and downloaded them to your iphone then simply connect your iphone up, open up itunes, right click your iphone and "transfer purchases"

DANG!

Yes they were my own videos. There must be away, maybe another software?

Don't want to lose my videos after I upgrade to new firmware.

Oh no! Dammit! I thought you people in the UK would have had it by now and I was hoping to hear all about it. I am in Canada and was going to stay up late so I could download it. Groan!

So Australia will be around 3am(AEST) Tuesday 22nd June

I only have 3g. Is it worth downloading new software? I’m a bit worried now after Reading comments. Could someone tell me the possible “side effects” this may have on my iPhone. I’m a bit worried.

I’ve already got ios 4 on my iphone all u have to do is downloaded the ios 4 GM for iphone 3gs and install it onto your phone by using itunes! I’ve had this for the last cupple of days!

The multi tasking on it works really well and being able to change your wallpaper makes it better

Why the hell would it come out at 5pm on the 20th US time dumb ass ?

is that for real – anything you upload yourself to iphone gets lost on an update – surely itunes has the record of what you uploaded from your computer since that is how you have to upload it in the first place? I could understand if they trashed pirated movies uploaded to hacked phones but I am thinking of things like my customised ring tones that I have created etc

Apple is using AKAMAI CDN (Content Distribution Network) to distribute their iOS. There are MANY server all over the world. Check this http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/dataviz3.ht…

they say in 21 it will be realse and still nothing

Guys, where can I follow the ios 4 update release, should I just wait for itunes or apple web page …. ? Or isthere a forum where members are alerting the others? br Scoubi

What time will release here in japan? Im waiting for so long. Please help.

Should be worth the wait!

Well this is annoying. its june 21st, 10am here in the UK….. and im guessing its basically gunna be june 22nd by the time i can download. I know apple cant really do a phased worldwide release to suit different time zones, but surely they need to come up with something…….get the horrible feeling iv been waiting all this time and by 6pm il be getting the error messages on itunes saying the systems to busy to download.

arrghhhh c'mon ios4

Use iDump (search Google for it)

still no ios 4.0 in uk @ 10.26am

iPhone explorer will let you download them, you'll need to search through all iTunes folders on the iPhone though and they have rather random names.

It's prob 21st time somewhere in the States, I'm just waiting till the 22nd, then it should definately be ready…

Here in Portugal it´s june 21st, 10am (also) and it has not been yet. Yesterday, I stood up late for nothing! It´s so annoying!

I agree with Luke: "Should be worth the wait!"

Apple is US company, they are not going to release it in UK before US due to time difference, it is obvious. Apple NEVER accommodate international markets ahead of their own.

I have installed IOS4 on my iphone 3gs, only problem is that it wont go to the home screen only emergency calls only? I am in the uk 11.02am 21/06/10. now cant restore my phone back to 3.1.3 any help out there!! thanks in advance

download a program for free called sharepod itunes must be installed but closed http://www.getsharepod.com/about/ dwonload that it will work on iphones that will allow u to just drag and drop on to ur iphone and will allow you to copy ur ipod/iphone to pc have a look at the link hope that helps

yer true. me to here in london, i am waiting for it. sooo tonight 5/6 ish then??

im gna need the link to download the new firmware or do i jus use itunes for it but my iphone is jailbroken !!!

Its funny how so many people still don't know how to use an iPhone. What the!!! If you knew how to use iTunes properly then you would know that to get a movie on iPhone you had to have had it on your PC or Mac in which case it is already backed up on your system. Movies that were made using the camera of the phone are able to be transferred to iPhoto on a Mac or equivalent on a PC (I don't know which folder as i HATE Microsoft but i imagine the movie folder)

hello folks….a strange news for u guys…ios 4 will be available in Europe only from 23rd night…i.e smoothly from 24th day time onwards….you will find the same official news soon in the forums….Mark (CA)

Assuming it is anything like previous updates, everything on your phone will stay on your phone (including content not "purchased"). The phone will backup before it updates but after it updates, it should be just as it was (but with a few exciting extras!)

And why in the hell you think you should get this update before anybody else? Everybody will be able to update at the same time. Server too busy? Well, isn't that the case with any other update when bunch of people start downloading it? Stop complaining, wait and download when it's available. So what if it's June 22 in UK when you are able? Where in the stone is written you have to get it on 21st?

If it makes you feel any better, Apple is not just about the U.S. getting it first, they are all about their specific time zone. Everything Apple does is based on PST (Pacific Standard Time), which means they will release the iOS 4 at 10:00am their time. That means we blokes on the east coast have to wait until 1:00pm to get the software. They release it to everyone at the same time based on their watches, so yeah, a lot of people are going to feel they are getting screwed.

im not getting here in perth, wa, australia till tomorrow

Why would you ever loose your films/videos? Back up your phone, update to iOS 4 and then when it’s all done, you can selectively restore data from your backup, meaning you can restore only things you want… in this example, your videos. I’m doing it with every single iPhone update. No need to buy expensive third party software, no need for hacked stuff. Use what Apple is offering for free. BTW, nothing works better than original stuff

It is worth the wait. Period. I’ve had this little baby for about a week now and it still surprises me. I haven’t had any problems relating to the software. But I am also awaiting it’s release since I can’t get iBooks until then or anyone to challenge in game center.

iPod touch 3dg.

I guess we have been waiting for this long..Nothing changes in another 15 hrs I believe !!!

21st night it is .. so be it !!!!!!

Good luck folks !!!

what idiot said its coming to europe on the 23rd???…….i watched Steve Jobs say that its ready for worldwide release as of the 21st. …plus all sites on the net say 21st 5pm UK time.

i'm on vacation in Mauritius now and still nothing the time differance from holland is + 2 hours so hopefully i can download it around 8pm mauritian time.

10 in UK means 1 o'clock in San Fransisco, home of apple. Of course some apple dude will allowed us to get the OS when they are on work.

I have installed IOS4 on my iphone 3gs, but it has problem that it doesn't go to the home screen. I am in the uk and want to restore my phone back to 3.1.3 but it doesn't work any help out there!!

wow. someone's had 'cunt' for breakfast. the dude above you never said it was 'written in stone' that he had to get it today, and nor did he say that he should 'get this update before anbody else,' merely made a commment that if a worldwide release date of 21st is given, it's not really worldwide if countries apart from america have to wait until the 22nd to be able to download it. learn to read you angst filled knob

im in aus and its 12am june 22nd….
oh well

This is complete crap. They should release it to everyone at different times. I guarantee you when 10:00 PST comes around we're all going to be screwed because the servers will crash. You can probably count on just getting it tomorrow.

June 21st means June 21st …

They should've released it as soon as it was 12 midnight in Japan.

It's good business is now shifting to Asia, at least most of the nations wouldn't have to wait for US Timing

I will be downloading it as soon as I get home from work. It wasn’t available at 6:30 am when I checked. >:(

Yo world! Let USA get ready. Chill relax

I've been trying every half an hour, pretty much all day. Thanks for the time, I guess I'll try again around 6ish.
Apple this is getting a bit old, if it had been released at midnight then the downloads would have been a bit more staggered

Still waiting for iOS 4….. Faster!! Have Steve Jobs wake up from his bed?? Singapore 10.52pm Jun 21

how about Asia region? malaysia? Singapore? when is iOS 4 available to upgrade for Malaysia iphone users??

err……it was released 2 years ago by Dr .Who from the Tardis in warp phase matrix time by sonic screwdriver

I am here in the US and when the heck is it coming im waiting since 1 am!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is to be released at 10 AM time in California, USA everywhere, which is exactly in 1 hrs and 45 min from the time i am posting this. Timing is based in California bc that is where the company is therefore the timing relates to them.

you think your getting screwed because someone is getting a firmware at a time that suits them. Get a life mate.

When you back up with itunes, the videos aren't being backed up for me?

guys can you help about date and time in middle-east (dubai) so how to do update ios4 and from where to download

itunes says: will look for next upd8 on june 23 !! :S NOOO!!!..
btw can i keep my jailbroken stuff when i update to ios4 ???????????????

you will probably have to wait until its out properly and restore and let itunes download the firmware

Agreed! why are some people complete knobs, this guy and many many others like me in the UK are waiting for this download, I tried it at midnight hoping i would get it but its 4pm now and still no update, it frustrating that you lot all get it when you wake up. and we probably have to wait until the 22nd or very late tonight

Thanks for replies guys

Sharepod worked fine thanks

5pm uk time.

I upgraded to iOS 4.0 last week – got the GM candidate – if the official upgrade released today is anything like it, it'spretty good

apple has done about 6 months in total beta testing there shouldnt be any problems that wont be fixed in future updates

you will not have any side effects. you will not have all features. but there will be no side effects. dont worry.

Yes but obviously the original file had been deleted after copying to iphone, that's why you want to copy it back.

whats an iOS 4?

still not available

I'm downloading now

none, it is official apple software

There is … -_-

Its 11:20 here in Chicago and still not available for DL… THIS IS HOGWASH.

I call shenanigans on Apple… DAMN YOU STEVE JOBS!!!!

you use itunes to download firmware b4 you do though i would reccomend restoring your iphone and then update then use redsn0w 0.9.5 to rejailbreak it cause otherwise it could mess up your phone i've heard

its now 2am june 22nd in aus, 9am in LA so do yous reckon at 10 in the us it will be released??? im a jailbreak dev, helping jailbreak it just need the official update asap.

I'm in Brisbane, Aus. And I've been waiting for this update since 9am June 21st! It's now 3:10am June 22nd, and according to official release times, it should be out by now. Very annoyed. >.<

Downloading it now here in UK

I´m so tired of waiting!! I´ll have to wait 2 more days?!

Is Apple kidding with our faces?!

it's available right now, just started download

DOWOAD NOW NOW NOW

Just started downloading here in the U.S. I'm excited!

downloading now in uk

Im Busy downloading right now in Namibia

They said 10am for US. it's 10:23. I dont understand why I cant download it yet.
The apple site still says coming soon.

6.30pm in the UK and still nowt…

The article states 10am PST, but there is not anywhere in the US that is on PST. The west coast is all on PDT which is Pacific Daylight Time. Makes it easier to convert the time to your local time if the correct time is given since PST and PDT differ by an hour.

Its available now in the UK, am just downloading now

Installing it, after download, as we speak! Takes a looong time just to back up the iPhone.

iOS4 has been available since 7.15 PM (local time Sweden, Stockholm)

iOS4 has just RELEASED….

Apple iPhone Operating System 4 version has just released at 10:30pm (Pakistan time).

Due to heavy load on apple server the download is very slow.

All the best to all those waiting for iOS4. Now is the time to install it….

Must Share your experiences

Goodluck

Just started downloading update right now with only 35 minute download time.

dl now see you soon multitaskers

Just downloading, only a 4 hour download time!!!! Better be worth it!

I got it here in romania a couple of minutes ago but i dont have time to install now. I wanted to be sure tomorow i can install it because with 3.0 the server kept crashing in the morning after the launch

Are you saying a 3G running iOS v4 can't run iMovie?I'm actually looking forward to iOS 4 for my iPhone 3g.Apple is a smart company, and would like to make big money. This is it forces people to buy the latest product approach.

after 4 hours, i stopped… not worth the effort

I have tried 4 times 3 -4 hour download ends with problem with download concerning Network Connection lost from Bahamas

man i have trying to upgrade to the new software for 3GS and it would always fail in Kuwait thru iTunes . Any other alternates for downloading the same…

ios4 download error message coming up network time out how do i sort it out
