How long can i pause my download

I'm downloading OS X Lion and I am wondering how long I can pause it for because I'm not willing to pull an all nighter for a download.

Try posting in the Lion Forum
More feedback that way.

    How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

    As long as it's been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to watch it.
    As to how long you have to watch it, from here :
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

    If your launchpad icon is displayed on your dock, you should see a status bar underneath it showing download progress. 

  • How long does it take to download a movie with a 2 Mb/sec connection speed?

    I will shortly be returning back to the UK after a number of years in India where we have a slow internet connection. I will need to sign up for a new ISP and want to choose carefully what kind of contract I buy. Downloads on my current speed ( never more than 170kbps) are impractically slow so I was wondering what I could expect with a faster connection. For instance, how long would it take to download a movie or TV show, and what about the large software updates. To update to 10.4.10 took all night here!

    Take a look at this page:
    iTunes Store: Download times for purchases will vary
    It should give you an idea as to what sort of download times you can expect.

  • How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
    Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.

    How long does it take to download and install maverick, not got high speed connection

    It always depends on your network.
    Can always go to http://www.speedtest.net and it will let you know your download speed and can do the math.
    It will take about 2 hours on a good network though.

  • HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
    i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
    But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
    my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
    the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

  • How Long Does It Take To Download The iOS 8.0.2 Update?

    How long does it take to download the iOS 8.0.2 upgrade?
    I'm downloading it now through iTunes and it's been about 1 1/2 hours so far and it says there's another 2 hours to go.

    Maybe there are some server problems: Can't restore iOS 8.0.2

  • I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

    I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?  Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

    How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
    Check your power status
    From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
    Copy and Paste in your reply.
    The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
    Long term storage (6 months):
    Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

  • How long can the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter last?

    Hi,
    I've been using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (genuine) for a year now but not everyday. Yesterday I bought a new display that needs this adapter, so now is the time that it will be used everyday. I was wondering how long can it last (or operational hours) if it were to sit in the same place, not unplugged, with an average use of 4 hours a day?
    Thanks
    PS. This one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter.

    This is impossible to predict.
    Sometime cables last a lifetime, sometimes they fail in short order.

  • How long will it take to download and install this OS?

    I want to update my Mac OS to the Lion OS; I just paid for it. how long would it take to download and start the istallation process through a wifi connection? I see the lion and the downloading bar however, it does not seen to be advancing. thanks,

    Your time depends on how busy the Apple servers are and your ISP's download speed. For me it takes ~1 hour to download then ~ 30mins to install.

  • How long should it take to download Mountain Lion?

    How long should it take to download and install Mountain Lion?  I have been downloading it for about 5 hours and it still has 1 gig to go.  My current OS X is 10.7.4

    It depends on what bottlenecks you have interposed.
    If you have a fast Ethernet connection, not cable Internet, that is not throttled by your ISP, and are using fast Ethernet on your local network, you should be able to download in about an hour.
    If you are transmitting it over your wireless connection, it may take substantially longer.

  • Mountain lion is not downloading but it's on the side of my computer how long does it take to download

    How long does mountain lion take download b/c it is just sitting there idle

    actually nevermind, it's working now. I closed iTunes, then waited a little, then double clicked one of my iTunes video files from my documents, which opened up iTunes again and the video started playing. I tried restarting iTunes before and that didn't work, so maybe for those who have similar problems, just try clicking on the video file in your documents/desktop of your computer, rather than directly from iTunes.

  • Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

    Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

    If a server supports resuming downloads then the download should continue where it left off.<br />
    You can test that by simple starting a large download and wait a minute or so before pausing it.<br />
    Then you can close and restart Firefox and see if resuming works.
    You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
    That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
