How long did your MacBook Pro take to arrive?

My MBP is coming direct from Apple but as it was purchased via a reseller I have no tracking.
Its been over 9 working days already, but the apple site says 2-3 days is typical?
I'm soooo excited but its quickly turning to disappointment with every afternoon.
How long did yours take to arrive?

Hi there,
When I ordered my custom MBP on June 25, it also said 2-3 days to ship. It shipped the 28th from China and arrived via FedEx on July 3rd. That was with standard shipping. I'm not sure if you used expedited shipping or not, but fyi, it is expedited only after going through customs - i.e. 2 day shipping will mean 2 days after going through customs. Depending on when you ordered, especially if you ordered right before or after Independence Day, it could be a day or two extra to process.
Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it when it finally arrives.

How long did your guys' processing take?

I ordered my 16Gb ipad 3 on sunday, they were in stock.
to this day, the order is still "being processed" how long will processing take? how long were you guys processing for?

I am not employed by Apple, and anyone who does cannot give any official news, just technical assistance if they are even try to walk that fine line. We are just users like you.
So no one here can answer your question.

How long should a MacBook Pro take to start up?

I purchased my MacBook Pro 11 mo ago, at the beginning it would take about 30 secs to start up, now it takes almost a minute (the same as my old Dell computer) the only program I have installed is Microsoft office, the mac computers at work take about 30 secs to start up.
I probably don't have more than 10 word files in "my documents" and no more than 500 photos, which I think is nothing compared to ALL the information I have in the computer at work
is it normal to take 1 minute to start up? What should I do in order to make the start up faster?
It annoys me that it takes almost the same as my old Dell computer
Thanks

Mountain Lion has a annoying feature it loads the last used programs when you log in.
So disable that, there are various hacks on this thread
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3244852?start=30&tstart=0
See if that improves your boot time and if not, then do the #12/#13 OnyC cache cleaning routine here and reboot when finished.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If that doesn't solve it, investigate your Office verison is compatible with your OS X version
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Uninstall it and see if the boot time resumes normally, or update it or run further through the Steps.
Why is my computer slow?
The Mac's at work, are they running 10.7 or later? Or the fast and speedy 10.6

How long did your first wireless back up take??

After doing the initial back up via ethernet, how long did your first wireless back up take?? I can't seem to get past the preparing stage. However I have recently learned that the first time backing up wirelessly, the finder indexes the back up & this can take a while. I'm leaving it a little longer now. It has been preparing for about half an hour now.
Is this normal?
How long does this indexing take?
What are your experiences?
Thanks.

So far for me it's been five days. I hooked up Time Capsule Thursday night, and after monitoring the progress for a few hours, I calculated that it should take three days, which I figured would mean that it should finish up by Sunday evening. (My MacBookPro had 103 gigs on it.)
It would have been nice if the instructions that came with the **** thing said something up front about hooking up via an ethernet cable for the initial backup. If I had seen those instructions before I started this nightmare, I might be done by now. Instead I started the backup wirelessly, which I'm sure accounts for some of the delay and hassle.
Unfortunately, the backup pace slowed steadily over the course of the weekend. By Saturday night, it had only done about 60 gigabyites, and by Sunday afternoon, it was only up to around 65. At that pace I figured I might be waiting another week before it finished, and since I actually take my computer with me when I leave my house, this would have deprived me of my computer for an unacceptable period. After doing some internet research and learning that using an ethernet cable would speed up the process, I therefore stopped the wireless backup, hooked up a cable, and restarted it at around 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
The backup then proceeded steadily at a faster (although not exactly zippy) pace. By midnight it had gotten through about 60 gigabytes, and after timing the rate at which it was proceeding by that time, I estimated that it should finish sometime around 8 p.m. tonight (Monday).
I left the computer along during the day while I ran errands away from home. When I got back around 6:30, it appeared to have finished the initial backup and to be in the process of finishing up an incremental backup. The progress bar said "backing up 12,443 items...51.3 MB of 51.3 MB." Unfortunately, it seems to be stuck there. It's now 8 p.m., and it still says it's working on those 51.3 MB. I don't know how much longer I should wait before deciding that it's frozen.
I'd like to just set this thing on fire. I bought the Time Capsule because I liked the idea of wireless, automatic backups. It was supposed to make my life easier, not make it a living ****.

How long did your installation take?

How long did your installation take? I'm just curious because mine went from saying 3 hours and 54 min, down to 54 min and sorta bounced around, its about 3/4 done.

Total, err, maybe a little over an hour? The counter was way wrong the whole time, so, yeah. Don't be surprised if when it says "About a minute remaining..." you actually wait about 20 more minutes. This seems to be happening to almost everyone. I know for sure it happened to me. The best advice I can give on the Leopard installer is this: It's a very poorly written piece of software, so, be patient, and give it lots of your time and love.

HT5873 how long can a macbook pro battery last?

how long can a macbook pro battery last?

Depends on your particular model of MBP. It depends on the context, too. Do you mean hours of usage or do you mean life of the battery?

How long did your contract setup took?

Not asking about the app store review (plenty of other threads for that) but how long did your non free contract setup took? I emailed them and they took me it could be up to 4 weeks!! What the...

Mine took two or three weeks. My first app was help up almost a week for the contract to finish setup.

IPhone 2G- users, how long did your phone last?

I just got a 3G iPhone and I'm wondering if my phone will last the whole 2 year contract I have with AT&T... and hopefully longer when I renew my contract (so I don't have to buy a new iPhone)..
How many of you still use your original 2G iPhone for over a year+, and still no issues? (like dead pixels, or dead spots on the screen)
For those who do have issues, how long did it take for those issues to pop up? 6 months? 1 year? 2 years?

Mine is still gong strong after more than a year.

How long did your repair take

Hey all,
My Powerbook recently went in for a transplant (Trackpad issues) and its been a week now and im getting antsy. Last time it only took 3 days. My question is how long should i expect my repairs to take (i.e whats the longest you've gone without your PB). Also the first time my motherboard was upgraded from 1.5 to 1.67 and now on the repair document, another "1.5GHz MLB" was requested instead of "1.5/1.67 MLB". Does that mean i'l get downgraded, if so that'll be torture. Call me weird but i just wouldn't accept that and that would be the catalyst for my decision to get a macbook and sell the PB. Any thoughts welcomed

With a pb under warranty and another £50+VAT=£60ish to jump the queue at Cancom (looks like a bribe to me), it took 10 days to replace the logic board. Although I did make sure before leaving it there that the parts were available. Still testing it to see if it works!

How long will this MacBook Pro last me?

I recently have received a mid-2009 macbook pro as a gift. I have upgraded the software to Mountain Lion (and most likely going to upgrade to Mavericks whenever it comes out). I am going to become a high school senior in the upcoming months. I was wondering how long this laptop would last me! I like gaming, but the graphics aren't that good even on low quality, but I'm sure this laptop will be fine for my last year of high school and til the end of college prehaps?
Thanks,
Christopher!
Edit:
I understand there isn't just a breakdown date or timer, but I am just asking for a guess from the community! Sorry for the confusion if there was any.
Thank you!

Your machine is about 4 years old and in it's end of life stage for a laptop.
It al depends how much abuse the previous owner did to it, how much wear on the keyboard/Superdrive and on the graphics etc.
I'd say another year or two and it's done.
The reason gaming is bad it's because they are designed for PC towers and the latest graphics which a laptop you can't upgrade.
Also the many OS X operating system versions also has a part as later OS X versions slow down older machines.
If you want to 3D game, then get a PS4 or a Windows 7/8 3D gaming tower and upgrade the video card every couple of years to a better one.
That's the only way, Mac's can't upgrade the video card anymore and new 3D games need better graphics.
The only way one can keep a Mac a very long time is to take exceeding great care of it, all the wear and tear on external devices, then there is a limit to upgrading operating systems and Apple will begin denying security updates as well.
Good luck

How long to transfer macbook pro into imac

I just got my new imac. Started migration from my good old macbook pro through wifi & than connected ethernet cable. 4 hours have gone by now.... Is it normal? How long should this process take more or less ?
Tks

Thanks for replying. My question: if i plagued an ethernet cable while migration was already on, did the computers change and now migrate through ethernet? The only difference i noticed after connecting the ethernet cable is, the notice about connecting ethernet for a faster migration disappeared. But that was 2 hours ago.... . After how many hours should i start to be suspicious?
Tks

How long to boot MacBook pro 13" late 2011?

It takes 1 minute 30 seconds to startup my macbook pro 13" late 2011 (2.4ghz i5 processor, 4GB RAM)
This seems like a long time? I have Microsoft Office and Photoshop installed, will this slow it down?
Thanks!

if you have a normal hard drive installed - it usually takes a minute to desktop when you power up.
check your login items to see what's loading when you first power up your Macbook.
you can also go to disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair them if errors are found then restart your Macbook.
see if that helps your booting time.
good luck

How long does the macbook pro 13 retina battery last

I just recently got my macbook and was wondering this because i am a bit scared. Apple says their battery lasts around 9 hours, what does that mean? If just doing simple work like pages and other programs a like, my battery will last up to 9 or 10 hours but that is when my brightness is less than 60%, it lasts maybe 8 hours at full. However, when I'm doing searches on safari like going on websites and youtube, my battery only lasts about 6.5 hours at 40% brightness, for some reason if i am on netflix it will last longer, maybe for about 7.5 hours 40% brightness. I personally would be happy with 6+ hours and keeping it at a low brightness but if I'm supposed to get more battery than why not?! P.S. When i go on activity monitor it says that none of the applications are using more than 5% (except activity monitor).

Hey samraymond,
Welcome to the Apple family, I’m glad to hear that you have purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Our marketing pages state that the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display can last up to 9 hours. However, please keep in mind that battery life will definitely vary by use and configuration. Our technical specifications page provides more information on the testing that was conducted to determine battery life:
Apple - MacBook Pro with Retina display - Technical Specifications
http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
Testing conducted by Apple in July 2014 using preproduction 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, preproduction 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, and preproduction 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.

How long should my macbook pro battery charge last before needing to be recharged

My macbook pro goes from 100% fully charged to zero in one day of light use. Is that normal? It seems to hold a charge for less time now than in the past. Do I need a new battery? Thanks, Gina

Watching video depletes the battery faster than typing a letter. My MBP battery will go down from 100% to about 65% (sometimes down to 50%) in about 3 - 4 hours if I do nothing but browse this site and possibly watch a short video. It also depends on the screen brightness settings and a host of other things. If you only use it for 2 hours, then there is a problem and I'd take it to your nearest Genius Bar for a diagnosis.

How long did your 23" LCD last.

I have a dead Apple 23" LCD, tech says its not repairable.
Purchased in 2002 for over $5,000 (Canadian $).
Canadian Law requires products to be durable for a reasonable period of time.
Is 4 yrs 6 mths a reasonable period for such a product to last?
I have several very much older CRT monitors still going strong.
Macbook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1gig ram, 7200rpm drive

4 peices of 23" ADC did start to get bad after 1,5-2 years,persistance / ghosting made me choose another brand for my next investment. Too bad, they look great and are good in the beginning, but I think it´s´a matter of quality,It´s not as good Apple did say in the beginning and still for me are ignoring.
Been a mac addict since 1988 and have bought almost every model that been sold, this is my first and big mistake.
As I work in video / print design for broadcast ,posters ,etc ,I really need quality........
I am working with a 2x KVM DVI switch connected to 7 Macs (G5:s and one PC)
4 x23" screens ( a pretty set up), a tablet and so on, The screens make it look "top gear" but the truth is I will choose another brand next time......
G5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.6)
