iPhone 5 will not load iOs 8
I've attempted around 10 x's. It will start the download (saying 26hrs to complete!!) and then time out after about 30 mins. I'm running Maverick on my iMac & MacBook. Thoughts?
iPhone 5, iOS 8

Hi LaxMan007,
Not being able to even download the update (and the reported time to download) imply this is a networking issue.
Has some troubleshooting steps for timeout issues under, "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
