Attempting to update software and the process says it will take over 600 hrs. Why?

I am attempting to install available updates (4 total). My system says it updating Safari and it will take over 600 hrs. Can anyone help with a suggestion?

The time to install may change after a few minutes to something more reasonable. BTW, I don't think it's ever a good idea to install a number of updates together, especially, but not only, if any restarts are involved. I would run them one at a time, making certain each one has been installed successfully. Or, get them separately from Apple Downloads and install from the Desktop.

    Try resetting the one dropping calls more often.  Hold the on/off and home switches together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, consider restoring it using iTunes.

  • I have just added a time machine to my iMac and it is saying it will take 11 days to do the first back up.  Any ideas?

    I have just added a time machine to my iMac and it is saying it will take 11 days to do the first back up.  Any ideas?  It is only 355GB but is being backed up  wirelessly but 11 days?
    Help.

    Hi lajetidreaming, I'm in the same boat; "See you in 8 days".
    As LaPastenague says, use an ethernetcable for the initial backup.
    And I will add; Since TimeMachine don't accept any interruptions during the initial backup, make a small backup first. That is - exclude a number of 'secundary' folders like music etc.
    When you have one backup completed, TimeMachine is much more forgiving about interrupts, rebooting your Mac and so.
    Good luck!

  • When an iPad is connected to the MacBook And the option says it will make a full back of the iPad to the computer does that mean ALL the files associated with apps on the iPad? If so where is the backup located on the computer?

  • Restore X201 from Rescue and Recovery file says it will take 6 days complete

    Hi,
    I had a malware issue that messed up my firewall (McAfee) and so I decided to restore from a RnR file.  The file is located on my home network drive so I connnected via ethernet cable and initiated the full restore of the file.  I'm running an X201 with Win7 64bit.
    I started the restore last night before I went to bed.  This morning I checked on it and it was had the progress bar showing and the estimated time remaining.  It said it was restoring partition "1 of 2", approx 5% complete, with approx 8800 minutes remaining.  12 hours later, it has approx 8200 minutes remaining.  Yep, about 6 days.
    I've done a restore before but only back to factory settings.  This 6 day restore can't be normal.
    What does the RnR file contain?  Does it only take an image of the user partition of the drive or does it also take an image of the system partition (Q?  What if I forced the laptop to power down and restarted the restore process?  Will I nuke the system?  Or can I recover from that with my RnR file?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Additional comments.  If have home computer 1 and computer 2, does backup to Network imply you have a /RRbackups folder on computer 1, which is a backup of computer 2?
    If computer 1 has RNR installed, maybe you can copy backups to another medium(cd/dvd). /RRbackups would have to reside on the local(C) drive of computer 1. Then you can REFESH computer 2 from the backup medium, avoiding ethernet issues.
    If backup of computer 2 is on computer 1, you can reach in and restore single files which you might Love.  Glad you
    had your DATA backed up via other means!!
    You mentioned restore of 1 of 2 paritions.  Lots of debate lately about the System Reserve partition used by bitlocker.
    Do you have a windows 7 which supports bitlocker? (ie, windows ultimate, professional).
    After you get your Factory reset calmed down, could you post a  diskmanagement screen of your partitions? I did a clean install of windows 7, so only have 1 partition.  If you bought a Lenovo with win7, you got win 7, win re and RNR factory reset partition. If RNR takes a base backup C drive, maybe Factory partition, maybe a bitlocker partition are backed up.
    Depending on which options your choose for RNR standalone restore (6 days), you choose base, 3 weeks ago incremental, etc.
    If you interrupt the restore of any of the above C drive is trash(brick). You made the correct decision to do factory reset.
    If you love your base backup, you can tell RNR  standalone to start there.  IF you astro exit out of a incremental backup restore, wax. Go back to base.  So you astro out of the incremental restore!. Simple, do the base restore, then come back and do the incremental restore.

    recently certain video or pictorial attachments to my e-mails be opened because the system requires the installation of the Adobe Flash player with Java plug-ins. The message also gives a link for installation. It appears to install but nothing really happens.

  • When attempting to install "Software Update" from Apple, the process talls at "Configuring Installation".  Even allowing it to run for 24 hours does not result in any progress.

    Thanks for the straightforward tip. I had restarted once already, but the second time was a charm. The install button now works. Don't know if it mattered, but I also repaired disk permissions and then restarted in safe mode this time.
    The printer driver is apparently a different issue in itself. It turns out that the my printer, the HP Deskjet F380, has some fluke that makes it incompatible in 10.6. A new driver is coming out from HP according to Rickmeister in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10076690&#10076690
    In case anyone else has the same problem with the F380: Like the user in the aforementioned thread, I downloaded and installed the old HP drivers for 10.5, and now at least I can print in the meantime.
