Expected Download time for Mavericks?

How long should OS X Mavericks take to download with broadband service approx. 4MB downloading to 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo currently running OS X 10.6.8. Memory fitted is 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Internal harddrive now fitted is 1Tb.

Downloading is more depended on your broadband speed. If I were to guess, I would say anywhere between half an hour to an hour. The Software Updates app will tell you based on your download speed.
On the other hand, installation will be long for your computer. I would say anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half (could even be more).
There are too many variables to accurately guess so don't hold me to my educated guesses to much.

    Down load fron the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show you all of your files and the respective sizes.
    In addition, click on your HDD icon in the upper right hand corner of your desk top with COMMAND I (I as in the letter i).  What does it say about the space used and available.

  • HT1577 Why am I experiencing long download times for an HD movie rental from itunes?

    I have been experiencing long download times for movie rentals from itunes (this time 11 hours).  I have even tried to use ethernet, turn off simultaneous downloads, and shut down my browser, to speed up the time but that didn't help.  My internet download speed is about 7mbps.  Any suggestions?

    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

  • What is the boot up time for Mavericks using a 2.4 Ghz 13" MacBook Pro

    What is the boot up time for Mavericks using a 2.4 Ghz 13" MacBook Pro

    This will vary depending on what HDD/SSD option any system has been specked to, whether from apple or upgraded afterwards (depending on upgradable model)
    I have a late 2011 2.4 i5 13" upgraded to 16Gb ram and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD and my install of Mavericks boots in around 15 seconds. This is actually about the same as my 2008 core2duo macbook booted snow leopard with a Samsung 840 (non pro)
    You may find a system with less ram actually boots marginally quicker, but this would be marginal.

  • Download error for mavericks

    My download for mavericks stops at 995.5 mb. Please provide some solution.

    Hi anujsehgal,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your OS X Mavericks download did not complete, first see if you can resume the download using the steps below:
    If downloading an app is interrupted
    Once an Internet connection is reestablished, your purchased downloads should automatically restart. The Mac App Store may alert you that there was an issue with the download and ask if you'd like to restart the download(s). Confirming will restart all pending downloads. For more information on this topic, see Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads.
    See Troubleshooting the Mac App Store for more information. 
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • How to download iPhoto for Mavericks?

    After a clean install of OS X 10.9 Mavericks on my Mac Mini, I went to the Mac App Store to download iPhoto. It says I can't, because iPhoto 9.6 requires OS X 10.10. Yosemite.
    Upgrading to Yosemite is not an option.
    Fine, and how do I get iPhoto for Mavericks now?
    Thanks for any hint!

    After a clean install of OS X 10.9 Mavericks on my Mac Mini,
    Which version did you have previously? The same system version?
    Did you previously have iPhoto '11 installed on your Mini with Mavericks?  Then restore iPhoto from your backup you made before you wiped the drive.

  • VERY long download times for movie rental

    I tried to rent a movie for a recent trip and I was unable to download the movies to put them onto my ipod touch. The download times were 12 to 18 HOURS!!! I left the download going overnight and it still had 10 hours to go in the morning. I have a cable connection and I tried to download at home and again at the hotel that I was staying at. It was the same both places.
    I am now heading home and still have not been able to download the movies. Of course the charge went against my account right away. Apple had no problem downloading the money!
    Any sugggestions or ideas what may be wrong?

    I was having the same trouble today with buying a movie on iTunes. I started last night to download a movie that was over 2 gb. It was moving very, very slow. I checked my download speed several times. I left my computer on overnight to download it. This morning, the files was at 110 mb downloaded!!! After tweaking and checking online for the possible fixes, I gave up and switched over to download via my laptop. It took about 14 minutes to download the darned thing. I think it might be that something is wrong with my desktop. Funny thing is, that I have downloaded a number of movies on my desktop with no problem, except for a rental that would not play long ago.

  • What's an average download time for a movie on appletv?

    Trying to use AppleTV for the first time and it seems to be taking hours to download.  My network is working properly.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Permershall.
    There isn't an average as such, it depends on connection speeds.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

    Yes,  I followed the steps in email to download Contribute CS5 for Mac.
    It has been 1 hour.  How much time does it take. I have not typed in lisence key yet

    It depends on the speed of your Internet connection.  The download is only the first phase you will still need to install the software.  During the installation process you will be prompted to enter your license key/serial number.

  • What is the download size for Mavericks?

    Hello, I have a late 2009 Macbook that is currently running 10.6.8. A bit outdated, I know, but I hope to fix that. The issue is, I don't have a stable internet connection at home. So here is my question; How large is the file download to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8, and more importantly, will my older computer and applications even be compatable? I don't want to upgrade only to discover that my computer runs slower. Thank you for the responses.

    1. Unless Apple says otherwise, Mavericks is no longer available.
    2. Your Mac is compatible with both Lion and Yosemite. Click here and look your software up.

  • Download Safari for Mavericks

    Hi, Apple!
    I accidentally deleted by CleanMyMac Safari. Give please install file Safari for OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Thanks! 

    Hi
    There's o download for Safari 7 on Mavericks : either restore it from a backup or other Mavericks  computer, or reinstall OS X. I suggest that you remove CleanMyMac completely & never use it, or similar applications/utilities.

  • Utility to show download time (for dialup users)?

    I manage a site for the local Friends of the library
    www.forl.org
    We live in a rural area where there are still many dial-up users: either high speed is too expensive, or unavailable. As I make additions & changes, I'd like to keep an eye on how long a page takes for a dialup user to download. This sort of thing used to be standard in html editors but now there's the assumption that everyone has broadband and I have not found anything for OS X that will do this task.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Fast connection speed doesn't automatically translate to fast page load times. Ask anyone on a modern "high speed" connection.
    Web browsers still use "cached files" to intercept previously load page elements (until the cache is cleared) to assist page load times.
    The speed of your server (combined by your connection speed) and "bandwidth usage" is a better guide. Your files are served by Apple and the largest file on your start page is:
    http://web.mac.com/akantha/forl/Scripts/iWebSite.js (made by the iWeb software and also cached) at 109KB's.
    http://www.mac.com/st/1/sharedassets/1.1/Common/Templates/Watercolor/About%20Me/ navgb_blue-1.jpg is the third largest page element. You can view the individual files use in your Web pages by using the Safari Activity window.
    Since you have no control over the server speed or the "bandwidth" limits (both controlled by your MobileMe account) there is little you can do to "speed things up".
    My 2¢?
    Don't worry about things out of your control. Your pages and your service is just fine for dial up users.
