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 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.

  • How Long Did Your Upgrade Take?

    My upgrade is still going, I think. The Iphone screen is on, the white bar is full white. On ITunes, the "Updating Iphone Software" dialog box is full green. My hard drive continues to be accessed, and my internet continues to pass data occasionally.
    I'm not sure if I have a problem or not.
    Any help appreciated.

    I updated using itunes.
    I put the phone in airplane mode and hit the update key, it took 20 minutes in a start to finish flawless update and installation.
    note: my imac is a stand alone machine (no networks, airport, or bluetooth running)

  • 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 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 ****.

    Usually 1 1/2 Hours tops.

    Around the Same

    Thirty Minutes.
    I think if it is taking you 6 to 7 hours then something is wrong here. Either the battery is flawed, the cable or dock is flawed, or something is wrong with the outlet. It should not take that long.

  • How long did your contract setup took?

  • How long should "Disk Repair" take?

    I have a G Raid 4 T external drive that I recently had shipped back from my editor. She did not use the original packing box and I fear the drive could be damaged. It starts up okay and doesn't make any suspicious noises - but it doesn't mount. I ran disk utility and it told me I need to run "Disk Repair." I've been doing this - for more than an hour so far. How long should this typically take? Should I try something else?

    It's usually related to the size of the drive, which in your case, is pretty big.

  • 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 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.

  • Qosmio F30-117: How long does the repair take?

    can any body tell me how long does it take for toshiba repair center to repair the laptop and send it back. I bought this new laptop but there was harddisk fault, then i sent it for repair but not yet received. Its two weeks now.

    Mine went for repair twice - I think the fault was quite straightforward so was just a screen swap. This may explain the speed of turnaround. The first time it was picked up on a Wednesday - arrived Thursday and was repaired. It was then sent back and I got it on Monday (4 working days). The second time it took longer and was around 7-8 working days.
    I found it useful to call the repair centre. They have some notes on machines there but if they can't give you specifics they should be able to give you the number for the 3rd party people that fix them and they'll give you a full update. Usually the third party places only work standard office days and hours.
    hope this helps.

  • How long should permissions repair take?

    I have a MBP 3,1 23.4GHz/4GB/320GB 7200RPM HD running OS X 10.5.7. I remember permissions repair, a long time ago, being a relatively quick process. It has waxed and waned over time, and at times there were many messages up (SUID...) that I was told to ignore.
    Today, all messages are gone. I ran a permissions repair, then ran a second one and timed it. It took 5 minutes 9 seconds. Of that time, I got the barber pole for about 4 minutes and the crawling line for 1.
    That seems awfully long. Any comments?
    Thanks!

    Hi Donna,
    I've never heard of it taking this long, so something doesn't sound right.
    How long has it been since you've run it?
    I would quit the process and run Verify to see if the HD directory is ok. If it won't let you quit, try a force quit (command-option-esc), and if that doesn't work, you may have to do a forced shutdown (hold power button down for about 10 seconds/until MBP shuts down).
    The "whirring" sound may be your fans revving up now and then.

  • How long does your battery take to charge?

    this is only my second laptop and the battery on my first one went pretty quickly, so i dont really know long its supposed to take to charge
    so... how long does it take, and how long does it take for the battery to drain

    Im not sure how long exactly it takes to charge it. I would say about 2 hours maybe 3 at the most. I use mine plugged in ost of the time, so its not unplugged much. I get great battery life out of mine. I had it off AC for about 3 hours the other night and still had 40 mins left according to the battery monitor. This is with the brightness all the way up.

    How long does downloading take? So far I have been waiting 2 hours and it has not completed.

    Took me a shade under an hour to download on an 18Mbps connection.
    Basic 768kpbs-1.5Mbps connections can take 8-9 hours (or longer).

  • How long did your pc hold?

    This goes for any kind of pc ;p my msi pc's graphic card just broke after 11 months. How did yours do?

    I think its a bit unfair to base your viewpoint on SegaStep's experience only. He OC'ed the living daylights out of his boards and then tried to get past the max CPU voltage limitations that were imposed by the BIOS.    see here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=170012.msg1248266#msg1248266
    My K8n Neo4 lasted 5 years before lightning destroyed it.
    My P45 Platinum was burgled after around 3 years.
    My Z68 board with a 2600K oced to 4,5GHz has been going on 4 years now and my nephew is using it.
    My Z77 with a 3770K Oce'd to 4,5GHz on 3 years now.
    So I never had  problems.
    Didn't even list my GPUs, none of which has ever broken.
