Downloading Mountain Lion ... taking too long.

Currently downloading Mountain Lion. However it is taking an abnormally long time.  Not the internet provider ... suggestions?

Thank you for the feed back, appreciated.  Will keep being patient.  Others have reported it does take some time, but I was just becoming somewhat concerned as it has already been 2hrs and it doesn't even to have seemed to reach the half way point. 
Will go with the provider theory

  • OSX Mountain Lion taking a long time to download

    I already purchased Mountain Lion and it downloaded fine on my iMac. Now I'm trying to downlad it on my Mac Book Pro and it won't download. It says downloading but it's not moving. Anyone else have this problem?

    If you have Mountain Lion downloaded in your iMac, you can copy it to an external drive and install 10.8 in your MacBook Pro

  • Downloading printer it taking too long

    I am trying to download my new hp printer on my laptop. It has been scrolling for over 30 minutes. How long does it usually take?? hp 5740 e-all-in-one wireless

    Hello @gravesl, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having a problem installing the software for your 5740.
    I would like to help.
    The install should not take that long. In my experience, setting up the printer for out of the box to finish, should be 20 minutes to half an hour.
    So that I may better assist you i would like to clarify something.
    What is taking a long time?
    Is it the actual installation, or are you downloading the software from HP.com, and that is what is taking so long?

  • IOS 8.0.2 download that is taking too long?

    I have an iPhone 4s and downloaded iOS 8.0.2 onto my iTunes and into my phone within 2 hours. My sister has an iPhone 5 and iOS 8.0.2 has already been downloaded onto her iTunes. The only process left is to have the download completed on her phone, but that is taking much longer than the actual iOS 8 download to iTunes. The download bar on the phone has almost reached the end, but has stuck at the same place for the last hour. (This did not happen with my phone.)
    I have unplugged the phone from the computer, but the download bar is still visible with the same point that has not moved a bit. How can this be fixed? How can I increase the download speed? Or do I have to patiently wait? Please help!

    If you unplugged the phone from the computer, you have already interrupted the download and install process. An update via iTunes is not a Wifi update, so once it's unplugged, it is not going to start up again.
    Reset the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the "Slide to Unlock" screen will display. Go to Settings>General>About, and see what version number is showing. If it is 8.0.2, then you should be good to go. If it is not, hook the device back up to iTunes and start the update again.
    Cheers,

  • Why is mountain lion taking so long to download on my macbook pro? It's been the same for about 30 minutes

    I downloaded the app and about 30-45 minutes ago and it is taking forever to download. Is this normal?

    Depends on the speed & type of internet service you have which you never mentioned.

  • Software download for appletv taking too long!

    How long should a software upgrade take for appletv. Currently saying 11hrs and my Internet broadband is ver good!.

    But they don't pass through the computer.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • HT4854 Unable to download Mountain Lion because it takes too long....

    So far am unable to download Mountain Lion because it's taking so long that my computer goes to sleep then it stops downloading and I have to start all over.  Says it takes 9 hours to download.  This makes it almost impossible to get the product downloaded.   I'm very frustrated and would like to either be able to get it done or get my money back. 
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    You need to go to Energy Preferences and set computer to
    never sleep until you finish your download.  Then you can
    re-enable it.
    BTW, since it takes that much time to download, when the
    download completes and the install dialog comes up, cancel
    the install and save the installer app to a safe place (USP memory
    stick, external drive, etc.) so you don't need to download again
    in the future.
    After you have save it, then you can run the installer by just
    double clicking the app in Applications.

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT4736 Taking too long (2 minutes) to locate and download photos into Photo '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD).  I checked and repaired HD permissions. Any ideas?

    Regarding iPhoto '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD).  I am dealing with iPhoto taking too long to download photos.  Specifically, I rechecked and repaired HD permissions. I am running the most current software my five year old Intel MacBook Pro can run.   What happens is that when I connect an external SD card, or my iPhone, the new version of iPhoto takes up to two full minutes to fully acknowledge the device. Then locate new photos and be ready to download them to my external HD.  I am kind of concerned about this.  This has never happened before. 
    I take 20,000 photos a year.  I really don't want to lose any.  Or is there something I am doing wrong?  Or need to be aware of?  Any experienced suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Have a great day.
    PS.... The cameras I use are Canon SX-30, Nikon D3100, and my iPhone 4S.  Thanks again for your assistance.

    Hello Old Toad.... Those sound like great ideas. 
    I thought I checked and repaired disk permissions on my main boot HD.  That boot disk is Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  Capacity 749.3 GB.  Available 562.53 GB.   BUT.... now that I think of it.... the Seagate external HD with USB2 interface is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Capacity 639.79 GB, Available 36.2 GB with my latest iPhoto Library 517.37 GB that was already scanned & updated to be read by the latest iPhoto version. 
    I'll try your suggestions tonight as far as double checking 'permissions' and setting up a tiny test library.
    Or maybe it's time to fill up another External HD?
    I appreciate your and anyone else's suggestions to try.
    Have a great day. ~~ David in Rochester NY

  • How long does it take to download mountain lion

    just downloading mountain lion on my imac ( MAC OS X 10.7.5) ---any idea how long it should take? its starting to look like its going to be slow...

    That's around 1.6 MB/s or approximately. So it should take about one hour at that speed. However, your service speed is not necessarily the transfer speed between you and the Apple servers. Expect the actual time to be longer.
