How long does it take mountain lion to download?

Forever! Wait about half an hour, if there's no progress in the download bar, you can restart to jostle it. It should pick up the DL from where it left off.

  • HT1338 How long does it take Mountain Lion to download?

    I purchased the upgrade about 4 hours ago and it has been supposedly "downloading" since then with no cues or prompts.  How long will this take and when should I expect to have to do something to help it along?  Thanks very much.

    Go to sleep. When you get up in the morning it will be waiting for you to install.
    Tip: Before you install quit out of the installer, then go to /Applications/ "Install OS X.app" and copy the installer off to some other media, a pocket drive, another hard drive. Then double-click the "Install OS X.app" to do the install. This is because after it's installed the installer self-destructs. So, if you have another Mac you want to install on, or for safe keeping in case you ever need it again, save it.

  • How long does it take for cc to download to desktop?

    Hi everyone  - I just signed up for CC and can't seem to download the desktop version. The installer is just hanging forever on my desktop. Does anyone know how long it should take to install?

    Hi Goonerang,
    You can try adjusting the location of your temporary directory.  This will be a system configuration issue though and not adjustable through the Adobe Download Assistant itself.
    Many factors, such as the connection type and network traffic, affect download speed. See Troubleshoot download problems
    Let me know if it helps.
    Thanks!

  • How long should I expect Mountain Lion to download?

    I just purchased Mountain Lion. In Launch pad is says it's downloading. What is the typical download time?
    What will happen after it's finished?
    Thanks!
    Billy

    As Kurt Lang points out, the full Mountain Lion installer is a very large download and the connection you have determines the limit in speed over which you download rate won't go. But how fast the Apple servers deliver it may be less than that limit, depending on what else they have to do, so it may take longer than the theoretical minimum time. (When iOS 7 was first released, my Mac OS installer download speed dropped to the KBs range on a 50Mbs line.)
    Try this: run Activity Monitor in the Utilities Folder and click on Network button at the bottom while the download is proceeding. You'll see the current rate at which you're actually receiving the installer file; it may be lower than your theoretical maximum and it may also not stay constant for the entire download.
    Nothing is ever simple...

    how long does it take to install mountain lion

    It depends on a number of factors - the speed of your computer and hard drive mostly. My experience has been that a standard upgrade will take 30-45 minutes. If you are erasing the hard drive and installing, it takes about 20-30 minutes, not counting migrating your data and applications.
    This doesn't count downloading which can take as litting as 40 minutes (a very fast broadband connection during off hours) to as much as several hours.

    How long does it take to download Mountain Lion

    Just as an example, on a 15Mbps download speed, approximately 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

  • HT1338 Free Mountain Lion request, how long does it take to get a response??

    Submitted my free request for software update to mountain lion yesterday, how long does it take to get a response, and where can I go to verify my request was received?/

    I called them after waiting 12 hours and they said up to 72 hours and there was no place to check things in the meantime.
    Their communication on this one is surprisingly bad, but apparently they have it under control. Time will tell. (It's now been about 36 hours for me with no code or confirmation email.)
