How long does it take a tablet in "Preparing for Shipment" usually?

Hello everyone.
I've ordered an iPad yesterday at around 7 p.m. and I really need it to be delivered in Cincinatti until December 15, which is the date given for the delivery ("Delivers: Dec 15 by 2 Business Days"). As I'm leaving the country in Dec 16, I'm a bit concerned because in my order page it remains "preparing for shipment". Is this a regular situation?
Thanks in advance.

From my experience when the order status changes to "preparing for shipment" it ships the next day, and typically shows up a day or two after via FedEx. As soon as it ships they should send you a tracking number. Keep in mind, its holiday season, so quantities may be getting constrained a bit and take longer to ship out.

  • HT4060 how long does it take to charge the battery for a mini Ipad from 1% to 100% ?

    how long does it take to charge a mini Ipad battery completely from 1% to 100%?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • How long does it take to download Microsoft 2011 for Mac

    I am downloading Microsoft 2011 for Mac on a brand new IMAC, and its taking 4 hours to download, it shows that I have four more hours to install, this can't be correct. Does anyone know what is going on with it?  Thanks

  • HT4859 how long does it take to backup your phone for the first time using icloud?

    I have never used Icloud before and now my phone wants to be resotred so I am trying to back everything up using Icloud it just dosent seem to be moving and it just continues to say estimated time ...

    Hello there jspin11,
    The amount of time that the iCloud backup will take depends on a few factors the 2 most important are the amount of data to be backed up, and the internet connection speed.
    I found a great resource for troubleshooting iCloud backups named iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3992.
    General information
    iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
    Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
    You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
    iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
    Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
    Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
    SettingsiCloud Backup settings are controlled on a per-device basis from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    To view Storage & Backup settings:
    Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    Tap your device's name. From here you can:
    View the size of your backups and see the storage used by each app.
    Enable or disable Backup for each app.
    Delete Backups.
    Buy more storage.
    If you're out of iCloud Storage space, you can apply several solutions:
    Exclude Camera Roll and other large data from iCloud backups of your device by going to iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and choosing your device.
    Remove some of the larger files on your device, such as large audio or video files, from your Camera Roll in order make more space.
    Remove existing Backups.
    Purchase more storage.
    For more information about managing and using the Storage & Backup settings, see this article.
    If an issue persists and you are not able to resolve it using the methods discussed in this article, contact iCloud Support for additional assistance.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How long does it take to receive confirmation email for Mountain Lion

    Hi, I received my new Mac Book Pro Retina two days ago, and I'm eligible for an upgrade to Mountain Lion, I filled out the form, and have a reference number, but haven't received a email back with the code to be able to download it from the app store.
    Do you think I could just download it from the App Store and claim a refund later?

    As an update, I called Apple and they mentioned that in some cases, even though i've been told 24 hours, it could potentially, but be unlikley that it takes 72 hours after signing up on the page for the activation code.
    I did express my frustration with this, as the Apple Care person on the phone was able to see that I was 'approved' eg: I bought my mac 2 days ago and serial passed. But was unable to access any code, but mentioned that it was an automated processed and an email will be going out.
    Also read one some of the posts here, 'and this is unconfirmed' - is that there was codes given out, and some people were having problems with the codes, and maybe this is the reason why it is taking so slow.
    Your guess is as good as mine, but will be patient.
    Regards to all.

  • How long does it take to receive email receipts for App Store purchases?

    I've been using iTunes for awhile but only recently got an iPhone.  Whenever I've purchased music from iTunes I would usually get an email receipt same day or next day.  I purchased my first iPhone app from the App Store five days ago but still have not received an email receipt (email address is correct and I checked spam folder).  Is this normal?  I'm kind of a stickler about keeping records for my credit card purchases and would like to have a receipt for all purchases.  I read somewhere an email is sent every $20 spent or every 12 hours, whichever comes first.  I've made other app purchases since then but not $20 worth.  But since it's been five days since my first purchase, something has to be wrong, no?  Additionally, is there a way to find and print receipts?  I know you can go to 'purchase history' in iTunes and do a screen grab, but if I have to do that for each purchase here on out, that will be depressing.  Also it's not much of a receipt since it doesn't show which credit card was used.
    Thanks for input,
    Joe

    Well wouldn't you know it?  I received the email receipt tonight!  Only took a full 5 days.  Of course it comes right after I posted this question...  I guess the 12 hours thing is bunked--maybe only when it comes to app purchases--but at least they sent it.

  • "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"

    Yesterday there was a question in the USALUG.org "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"
    This question was a good question, so I decide to make the ultimate test. I have a lot of computers standing here around, and remembered that on one of them was have already Archlinux installation. I was right, when I booted, the system check said me, that the system was 253 days not checked anymore. I got so excited that I forgot to check was it one of my 0.7.2 Gimmick or 0.8 Voodoo installations.

    After reboot the system loads all new applications with out any problem. Later I replaced the intel-video driver "xf86-video-i810 1.7.4-6" with the driver xf86-video-intel 2.2.0-2. No problems at all.

    definitely. By contrast, here's a regular upgrade on my debian box -- out of the blue it's having some problem with one of the packages, and it's turning into a regular recursive nightmare.

    It's so "delicate" and temperamental compared to the no-nonsense, straightforward approach of Arch. If one little thing is off, the entire system has a hissy-fit and won't do anything until you hunt the internet high and low searching for a solution, encountering all the debian hawks along the way who are ready to rip your head off at the first suggestion that debian isn't directly from god and could have a problem. Imo, Arch is the best linx distro hands down. Nothing else even comes close.

  • So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher ...

    I have a 160GB Gen 5 that I bought when first released back in the day when they were $400. Through a number of changes, the most recent being the advent of the Convert Higher Bitrate Songs to 128bit AAC feature, I decided to look at what more music I could store. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bit of a disaster with cover art not being properly applied to the music being played. I decided to *restore the ipod* based on suggestions in the discussion boards, and equally important was following the hints and tips here.
    http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
    The advice is especially important in very large library situations to ensure you have uniqueness in the albums you want to display. Hadn't really given it much thought until I had the ability to see the individual albums for the 40K songs on the iPod via the cover art view.
    Finally the point of the post...
    *So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher Bitrate option now available in iTunes 9.1?* The specs on my computer are not highend by any stretch, but it's no slouch, and neither of the CPUs are ever pegged. At this point I've lost count of how much time it's taken, but the load is going on 3-4 days. With some breaks in between because I need to check each incremental load to verify there is no cover art corruption, correct bad tags and such, but for the most part the loading is visibly slow, and I'm sure the conversion is the cause. I'm not really complaining at this point, but there is clearly room for improvement. And of course unless there is a redo involved in which case I will get quite cranky.
    *I would like to hear the experiences of others.*
    Finally to lend a bit more credence to the performance concern, my 32GB iPhone 3GS for only about say 28GB of music takes about 24 hrs to load from a 2.2GHz dual core intel laptop, again using the convert higher bitrate option.

    With AC power adapter it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge. With the USB charger it takes 9-0 hours for a full charge. I am not happy with them removing the AC charger and other accessoreis at all. It's business but it still stinks.
    I know I would rethink my purchase but would most likely end up buying the Micro anyway

  • HT5071 After submission, how long does it take for a new book to appear in the iBook store?

  • How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
    I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
    Thanks.

    We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !

  • Time machine migration, how long does it take?

    Im going to migrate to another mac using time machine, how long does it take (time machine/main hdd in the old mac was at about 700gb capacity)

    There is no way of determining that. The time is dependent on a number of different factors.
