How Long does it take to download Mountain Lion?  Anybody have a good guess?

How long does it take to download Mountain Lion?  I know there are variables regarding DSL but should it take an hour?  two hours.  Ball Park please?!

Wish I had your DSL speed.  iTunes suggests I have about 7 1/2 hours still to go!  Just glad it is giving it it's best shot.
Thanks for your reply.

    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.

    just downloading mountain lion on my imac ( MAC OS X 10.7.5) ---any idea how long it should take? its starting to look like its going to be slow...

    That's around 1.6 MB/s or approximately. So it should take about one hour at that speed. However, your service speed is not necessarily the transfer speed between you and the Apple servers. Expect the actual time to be longer.

  • How long does it take to install mountain lion

    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 should it take to download Mountain Lion?

    How long should it take to download and install Mountain Lion?  I have been downloading it for about 5 hours and it still has 1 gig to go.  My current OS X is 10.7.4

    It depends on what bottlenecks you have interposed.
    If you have a fast Ethernet connection, not cable Internet, that is not throttled by your ISP, and are using fast Ethernet on your local network, you should be able to download in about an hour.
    If you are transmitting it over your wireless connection, it may take substantially longer.

  • How long does it take to reinstall Mountain Lion on a new hard drive?

    Due to performance/corruption issues, I erased my MacBook pro's hard drive. Now, I'm attempting to reinstall Mountain Lion (then do the upgrade to Mavericks). However, after about 5 hours of it doing the reinstall and downloading files (I have it connected to a network cable), I went to bed.
    At some point during the night, the process seems to have timed out. Evidently, I will need to start from the beginning of the installation process.
    My Questions:
    How long should I take?
    Is there a way I can prevent the MacBook from going into sleep mode so I can leave it unattended?
    Since I've worked in corporate IT, I'm more than familiar with the Windows reinstall process and generally know what's going on and how long portions of an installation should take. Is there a way I can have the installation tell me what's going on?
    Any other tips/tricks or general information?
    Thank you for any assistance.

  • HT4818 how long does it take to install mountain lion?

    My computer (the App Store page) says that it is downloading Mountain Lion, but I don't see any progress and it has literally been "downloading" for hours. I've been billed for Mountain Lion, but it is not on my computer. I'm sure that my computer was ready to accept Mountain Lion. Now what?

    It all depends on your download speed. Patience is a virtue.
    Leave your computer running.  Verify throught the app store the download is in progress or restart the download.

    how long does it take to download the ios software

    Depends how fast your internet it and the size of the update - used to take 10-15 mins for me on around 4 Mbps but I could sear some updates have been faster recently so maybe they've been incremental update not the whole software package.

    How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
    Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.
