How long does Repair Disk take?

When starting up my iMac - only bought 3 weeks ago, I open Safari and my screen gets a black screen over it and say "You need to restart your computer. Hold down..." after 3 times of doing this I rung apple and went through some steps with technical help. I'm now waiting for Disk Utility to repair my disk - it's been over an hour. How long should this take?

An hour seems too long to me. That screen effect and message sound like a kernel panic. Such freezes are generally attributed to hardware but not always.
If the machine is only three weeks old and you are getting kernel panics, I'd make a booking for the shop to check it out.

    Usually just a few days... they very seldom (if ever) repair them. You'll usually get either a new or refurbished replacement.

  • How long does it usually take to backup Adobe Premier projects?

    When you go into the Project Manager and back up the project, so that Premiere copies every file involved to a portable hard drive, along with the project file, so the project can be opened and edited on a different computer, how long does it take?
    I am currently backing up a project with over eight hours of footage in the work area so that I can continue working on it from another computer, and the backup does not seem to be progressing. I do not typically backup projects like this, I usually only save a new version of the project file, so I have no idea what to expect, and it seems to be taking a while.

    Usually till it is finished, give or take a few minutes.
    The question resembles: "How long does it usually take to travel from A to B?"
    The answer is: It depends. It depends on traffic jams on the route (what are the specs of your system), the transportation means (what kind of portable hard disk and the interface), the amount of luggage taken along (how much source material and what codec), does one take a rest while en route or stop for gas (what background processes are running), etc.

  • How long does it usually take to get added raw support (nex5n)?  i pretty much just use aperture 3 and love it but why does lightroom from adobe seem to get raw support faster than Apple's Aperture 3.  Also FCPX lacks v Adobe on 60p.

    How long does it usually take to get raw support for Aperture 3?  Is it slowed by Apple or camera company.  I only ask because Lightroom has support for nex5n raw but Aperture 3 does not.  Also direct import into Adobe premiere  and ability to edit in 60p.  However, support for 60 p not as easily worked with in FCPX.  I am just surprised Apple does not keep pace with these type of updates that Adobe does.  Don't get me wrong I love and use Apple software  when I can but I wish Apple was ahead of adobe in getting this support.  I guess more of a vent than a question.

    Yes, more of a vent.
    FWIW I agree. 
    Camera companies keep RAW specs confidential so firms like Apple and Adobe have to (sort of) reverse-engineer to develop RAW converters for each new camera. The good news is to my eyes/brain Apple usually does a slightly better job at it than Adobe does. The best RAW conversions (logically) come from the camera manufacturers.
    Apple gives up market share with slow support for new cameras. IMO really DUMB. It has at least been improving...

  • How long does mountain lion take to download?

    On average how long does mountain lion take to download from the app store?

    Always keep an eye on 'More like this', the column to the right of your initial post.    You will often find answers and direct leads to your questions there.
    In fact it relates to your ISP and the download speeds you have.   I believe it is 4GB in size.

  • How long does it normally take to convert from PDF to Excel files?

    How long does it normally take to convert from a PDF to Excel files?

    Sara-
    I did see your response.  Thanks.  The other thing that happened was after I enabled Adobe on my Dell it apparently knocked out my Mozilla.  Now I can't get internet connection unless I use Internet Explorer which I would prefer not to.  I'm going to visit our IT folks tomorrow and see if I can get some of this resolved.
    The PDF files I obtained that I am trying to transfer to Excel may be too complex because there is a great deal of extraneous text information in the basic document that lies outside of the tables I want to transfer.  I'm going to try and highlight the tables only and see if this works.
    Thanks for taking the time answering.
    Best,
    Henry

  • How long does it usually take to ship Iphone 4 for at&t?

    How long does it usually take to ship Iphone 4 for at&t?

    The US Apple Store says that AT&T-model iPhone 4 units are in stock, which usually means that they ship in a day or so, though shipping at this time of year may take longer. Other resellers may ship sooner or may take longer to ship. As RG said, you'd have to ask whoever you ordered, or intend to order, from to confirm exact shipping details.
    Regards.

    how long does mountain lion take to download and where does it say how much it has left mine just says downloading ?

    It's totally dependent on your broadband speed.
    It took me about 45 minutes to download, but I have a reasonably fast connection.
    It will often say in the purchased pane of the Mac App Store how much longer it will take.
