Why is it taking so long to install lion upgrade

why is it taking so long to install lion upgrade? It is about 20 minutes now and still saying wait a few minutes

Because the file is over 5 GBs. If your internet service is slow then it can take a long time - several hours.

    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
    Check your internet speeds just in case >  Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    Try not using other applications that require downloading files while downloading media from iTunes.

  • TS4036 Why is icloud taking too long to create backup, seems as though it's frozen.

    This is my first time I use iCloud to back up my phone.  I purchased an additional 20GB for a total of 25GB of storage. According to my phone, I have 17.3 GB of free memmory.  My question is this: Why is it taking so long to create a backup?  My phone is reading "Backing Up" and "Estimating time remaining" for about 10 mins thus far and the progress bar is still at the original point it started 10mins ago.  There has been no progress and still have no estimated time remaining.  What is going on with my phone?  Should I just give up and get Apple to refund me the $20 for the additional space?  Thanks!

    Hold the Power button until your MacBook turns off and turn it on again.
    If you don't see anything on the MacBook's display and OS X is not starting up, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Then, turn on the Mac and hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting up to start up in safe mode, so you can start up your computer without loading other apps. Finally, uninstall Seagate apps > http://forums.seagate.com/t5/GoFlex-Net-GoFlex-Home/How-to-uninstall-on-Mac/m-p/ 92100
    After uninstalling the apps, restart again and see if OS X Mavericks can start up. If not, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X. If this doesn't work, you will have to erase the drive.
    I don't recommend you to install the Seagate apps, as you probably don't need them

  • Why is it taking so long to back up on my external hard drive?

    I have a WD 1TB 3.0 USB external hard drive & im transfering 200GB of data.
    Why is it taking so long to back up all my data onto my exernal hard drive using time machine?
    I turn it on every day for about 12 hours to backup.
    I think it will take about 4-5 days to complete, is this normal?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

    why is it taking so long to download acrobat xi?

    Hi Tiachia,
    The download is dependent on the network connectivity speeds.

  • Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

    Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

    How long is "so long"?
    Some product downloads are up to 1.6GB; that can take some time - very much depending on your Internet connection.  Check http://www.download-time.com/
    For a test, I just downloaded Illustrator CC 2014 (1.6 GB), and the download completed within 13 minutes (and I am 10,000 km away from the Adobe download servers).
    Try downloading from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?

    Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?
    If I am not able to download the new applications, due to an extremely slow connection, does Adobe have other means to help me obtain the software?
    Are there any 'other' solutions?

    Yes, I was able to finally download two out of three of my applications. I waited three hours to get two pieces of software, and I still need to download one more application.
    While talking to the customer service department in India, I was told that I could not get help in bypassing my slow Internet connection. Even though I have been a loyal and law abiding customer for thirteen years, Adobe's customer service department treated me like a piece of crap. All I wanted to do is get my applications on cd, so I can bypass the buggy and long downloading periods. I tried desperately to explain: (1) I have been a loyal customer for thirteen years, (2) I bought and committed to a yearly subscription, (3) I have followed Adobe's legal rules since day one, (4) I have no problems with the software's DRM, and (5) I love and support Adobe products.
    Regardless about how much I sympathized with Adobe's position, I could not get your customer service department to 'care about me'. I walked away feeling depressed and defeated.
    As a result of going through a horrible customer service experience, while also struggling with the change to cloud, I started to think about a change in career. Why do I want to be a graphic and web designer? I spent a crap load of money on an education, so that I can become a slave to the industry's dominate software maker. If it was not for the fact that Adobe's software is the industry's standard, the recent events with your customer service department would have made me walk away.
    It sucks that your company has a 90% strangle hold on the industry I love.

  • Why is it taking so long to download iCloud onto new phone

    Why is it taking so long to download my iCloud onto new phone

    What does download iCloud mean? You don't download iCloud. You download the content that is in your iCloud backup to your phone. If you have a great deal of content in the backup, it can take a good bit of time.
    Define "so long". That doesn't mean anything to anybody here. It's a relative term and we have no idea how much time "so long" is to you.
