long does it take to down load mavericks from snow leperd. The mini Mac has two gig of ram.   It's over two hours now.    I have DSL

By cable standards it's not very fast. Assuming it runs at top speed with no hiccups at either end you can download about 650 KB/s. So, that suggests it will take a little over two hours. Of course transfers are rarely ever perfect, so could take more than two yours, realistically. My pipe is about four times faster than yours, and I've seen the download take twice as long as it "should."

  • How long does it take to down load Firefox and how do I know it is down loading

    I have tried to down load firefox and during the down load iot tells me it starts at 1 minute remaining and it climbs fro this to 3 hours and I cancel the down load. How long does the down load take and how do I know it is down loading?

    WOO-HOOOOOO!  I got it all back!!  Yayyyyy! (jumping up and down).  You see, this is a picture file I've been working on for almost 15 years.
    OK.  Here's the skinny... I finally got an appointment with the Apple Store to discuss with a technician.  He went through the same steps I did (C-Opt-iPhoto) and then trying to repair, then rebuild the folder.  He tried several other options, which I had also tried, thank you to the Community Discussion boards!    He kept puzzling over the icon in front of my " iPhoto Library.photolibrary ".  It had a blank document in front of it, instead of the iPhoto icon.  Even though I could pull up every one of my pictures via Preview, I just could not get them to upload or open in iPhoto.
    He suggested I go back yet another day from the incident-day which messed up my library.  Skeptically, I did... (which I'd done quite a few times before).  EXCEPT.  This time, as I looked at my December 3, 2012 Pictures folder, there were some other files in it.  I had only been hi-lighting the iPhoto Library and trying to Restore.  You don't suppose...?  I hi-lighted everything in the Pictures folder, pressed Restore... and it started to transfer.  I waited perhaps 45 minutes.  (I had a 73GB file.)  But it restored everything - even the Events.
    Crux:  If iPhoto doesn't seem to be able to Restore your iPhoto Library, choose ALL the files in your backed-up Pictures folder (not just the iPhoto Library).  The technician's clue to me was he didn't think some needed sub-folders got transferred.  He was right. The visual indication was, when I opened Finder, the icon in front of it was a blank document.  It needs to have the iPhoto icon or some needed sub-folder didn't get transferred.
    I hope this helps!!
    Thanks for all the support!

  • How long does it take to migrate mail data from snow leopard to lion. Waiting for hours

    OK, so here I thought I was solving a calendar sync problem by updating my OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3. Initially unable to load the mail app, however this seemed to work after taking out the "envelope index" file as suggested in this forum. New mail program loaded, but now stuck with rolling blue and white candy bar on a window inside the "Mail Upgrade" window stating "migrating data ...".Thinking I might simply have a lot of data I waited 5 (!!) hours,... No change. I went back to Finder and once again removed the envelope index file as well as all files with a .plist extension. Again started mail, again stuck with the screen "migrating data". So my question: Do I just have to wait (and then for how long? Days?), or do I have to tweek my MacBook Pro a little to be able to once again read and write e-mail?
    Thanks

    12 hours and did not finish. Still left with the message: migrating data. I cannot imagine what the program is doing.
    So I force quit mail and cleaned up everything I know to clean up: went to folder "~/library/Mail" and deleted everything I thought was not needed. Emptied the trash. Now, of course, I have a fair amount of mails in different folders that are stored in the mail program. But from a total data amount point of view this should be trivial.
    Restarted mail, get the screen: "Mail Message Import", click "Continue"
    Then program successfully imports 4563 messages in less than 2 minutes.
    Then - once again - rotating candy bar with message "migrating data ..."
    There is no way to see what is actually happening and no way to stop the process other than force quit.
    Help!!!

  • How long does it take to get a refund from Apple?

    I returned my MacBook on the 6th or 7th day of having it, and paid the re-stocking fee, 2 weeks ago. Yet I still have no refund. How long does it take to get my refund?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well it shouldn't take 2 weeks.
    Call Apple to find out what the status is on your refund or you can go to the Apple store and find out what's going on in person.
    Just curious, but why did you return your MacBook?
    You should give in another try!

  • How long does it take to download a movie from iTunes? Approximately?

    Just curious. Before I start buying movies I need to know how long it takes to download them to my iPad.  I know it may depend on my wifi but what's the approx amount of time? 

    They should allow you to watch as it's downloading.  I would think with technology these days it wouldn't be that hard to allow us to do this.  I could have gone to the store and rented the movie in less time it takes to download this thing.

    Depends how much data you have.
    And how you transfer it, if you chose wireless (for the convenience) you have chosen the slowest possible method, hours will pass.

  • How long does it take to download when it says waiting in the launchpad?, how long does it take to download when it says waiting in the launchpad?

    I have downloaded the software but it just says waiting for 2 days, what does that mean?

    should not be any more than 5 minutes....
    a few things to try,
    ensure you have the latest version of itunes.
    ensure you're using a USB2.0 port, not on a hub.
    close and reopen itunes.
    restart your computer.
    uninstall and reinstall itunes.
    try to not have any other programs running as you're updating.
    if you have power settings set on your computer (ie- standby, turn off hard disks, after a certain amount of time), disable them before you start the restore.
