10.4.7 update -- how long for restart?

I just downloaded the subject update and it took a looooong time to restart. Is that normal? It appeared to have a lot of security elements and I was wondering if it was going through all my files. Previous restarts following updates have taken only a brief period of time.
I have recently installed VirusBarrier X4.

Long restarts directly prior to Mac OS X updates are to be expected.
From this article: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060627132933535
"note that the first restart after applying Mac OS X 10.4.7 may be abnormally long. Subsequent restarts should take place at normal speed."

10.5.2 update - how long for boot cache update?

At the end of the 10.5.2 updater, I got amessage telling me the Boot Cache needed to be updated, and that everything would run and then restart when finished. When I went back to the MacBook, the screen was dark, yet the white power light on the font was on.
I'm not sure if the Boot Cache cleanup is complete or if I am having problems. How long should it take, and is the screen supposed to turn off/go black during the process?

Thanks for the feedback. Since the restart fixed the problem, I recommend downloading the 10.5.2 COMBO update, installing it to ensure that nothing's broken, and after restarting, launch Disk Utility and repair permissions. Once that's finished, launch Software Update and install everything that's missing, except the Time Machine & Airport combined update which precludes reinstalling the COMBO update.

HT6114 My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour.

Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

Just purchased Lion...how long for the install wirelessly?

Yes, the installer will launch automatically and wait for you when you wake up to proceed with the Lion installation.
Good Luck, and remember to back up your data always before installing operating systems or OS patches.

Rarcrack - how long for the file with 400 MB ?

Hi everyone
I'm trying to get the password in the encrypted file with 400 MB. It's more time I thought.
If someone have used the program, rarcrack, can you tell me know that get the password with special characters ?
For example:
The encrypted file with 400MB + the passwords "?_123_123_abc_@theworld".
How long for that ?
Thank you very much.

Does rarcrack know how long the pass-phrase is or not?
Also, are you using a dictionary/removing obvious choices of pass-phrase to help speed up the process OR are you brute-forcing every single pass-phrase from the ASCII alpha-numeric alphabet + punctuation?
TL;DR: Assuming I've done the Maths correctly, a damn sight longer that you might have thought
Since you haven't said, I'm going to assume YES to the first question and I'm assuming you're brute forcing, to make the maths simpler.
For one character position you're looking at about 26 lower case + 26 upper case + 10 digits + 10 punctuation marks of some sort. So that's 72 characters. You've got 22 characters in the passphrase, so that's a potential of 72^22 = 7.26632672153 x 10^40 pass-phrase combinations.
Now let's assume you're doing this on modern hardware, with an SSD on a single machine which can process something at the rate of 200MB/s. That's two seconds a pass. That'll take you about 2.01842408931 x 10^37 hours.
Disclaimer: I'm working off the assumption that encryption has been used, and that rarcrack would decrypt the whole file on each attempt (pass-phrase protection and encryption are different things...). I don't actually know how it works, but for those that do know how it does, you can probably work out the time from the number of pass-phrase combinations.

how long for the I watch sport to be delivered from buying today 2nd May until it arrives at my door roughly?!

What did the email say that confirmed your order? It states on there an expected delivery date. This is a user to user support forum, so no one here would really know when it would be delivered, only Apple would, and they do not participate in the forum.

How long for new apps for review and approval by apple?

Hello there; was wondering if for a new apple developers' account, how long for a brand new app review? We submitted ours 6 days ago and wondering how long until the app gets reviewed and once in review mode, how long before approving it on the app store?

When i uploaded my application it took around 12 working days, If there is any problem in the app, apple team will send you the error to the mail.

How long for updates and bug fixes usually?

I'm new to Logic and even new to Macs. I'm just wondering how long does it usually take for Apple to release bug fixes and updates to Logic?
Also, how long did Apple take to get around to providing worthwhile updates to Logic 7? Were there substantial updates changed work flow, functionality, etc?
Basically I'm wondering how long until Logic 8 will be more stable and complete?

Logic 7 was never updated so as to provide any significant changes in workflow over its initial release. But apparently L7 so intrinsically broken that they abandoned any effort to fix it. Instead, they developed Logic 8.
L8 has some very obvious bugs, yes. They need to be fixed yesterday. But as usual, Apple is dragging its feet in this regard.
To your question, how long.... well, L7 updates occurred about every 4 months. There's no telling if they'll be on a more conscientious schedule for releasing L8 updates. They only offer end-users one choice: wait and see what happens.

10.5.2 Update How Long Did it Take You?

Did your's update successfully? How long did you wait. I've been waiting for about 8 hours now with no success, stuck at startup/bootup apple logo and rotating counter.

Mine only took about six minutes to install. Then the computer went through the two restart cycles that seem to be typical of system updates which took a few minutes. After that, the computer boots "normally". I have not timed it but it does not seem like an inordinate amount of time is required to start up. I would say if it's taking longer than a minute or two to boot, there's something not right.

Mac mini update how long should this take?

I accepted an update for it about 20mins ago, it rebooted and has just been sat there, not doing much? Do I just need patience, it makes the normal hard drive noises now and then.

I don't know how long migration takes...it's a process frought with potential problems. I strongly suggest a clean install of OSX followed by clean installs of your software if it is at all possible. While it may seem like a pain, it's no worse than the 6 hrs + you have already spent. I think you'll find -most- folks here prefer to not use migration assistant. A short search on migration assistant will show you why.

How long for itunes match?

How long is normal for iTunes Match to go?
I seem to have it go through and recyle umpteen times and has now been going for over 20 hours.
This is on a base of about 11,000 songs and darned if I know whether my tv programs are included or not.
It seems to go thorugh steps then add a few hundred more songs each pass
Very confusing and challenginng to wait for it
How much 'updating' can it do?
One other killer quiestion - if you delete purchased songs from your machine (as in when your storage space is getting too big and costing too much?) - how do you permanently remove something from your database?
Thanks as always for any insights
Geoff

I am not surprised to hear it is taking a long time. I signed up when Match first became available. It took several days before it finally finished. I had maybe half as many tracks as you. Also, prepare for this ahead of time: Even after it finishes there will still be some tracks that do not match. This still happens even though iTunes Match has been around for a year.
To permanently delete a track from iTunes Match, check the box in the delete confirmation that says "Also delete this item from iCloud".

How long for NX6800 TD128 rma (weird characters problem)

Anyone rma this card to MSI? I sent it in tuesday of last week and it's still not on it's way. On the tracking, it is said to be "In Processing"

i did call and they said they would have to call back, so I asked for an e-mail cus my parents would probably assume they were a telemarketer, because the person i was talking to did not have the information on his computer as to why it was taking so long. so i should be gettin that tonite or tomorrow morning. I'll update later for anyone who's interested in how long it may take for them
