How long does the preparation take for ???

My order of late 2012 iMac 27" is now showing
Preparing for Shipment
How long does it take for them to ship my iMac since the date of showing "Preparing for Shipment"?
(OMG...They're so slow...it seems taking them years...)

By about Dec 4th or 5th all of the 27" iMacs that would ship in the first 'batch' had been ordered.  Anyone ordering after that time would have to wait for the 2nd production run and there was/is no way to know just when the 2nd wave of iMacs would be ready to ship.
How long has your order been 'Preparing for Shipment'?  If it is more than a day or so I can certainly see why you are a bit disappointed and frustrated, I would be too. 
The only consolation I can give is that the 27" is apparently a very good machine (mine certainly is) which will give you a lot of pleasure when it does arrive.

  • How long does the "activation" take for my apple tv? its been about 20 minutes.

    my apple tv has been "activating" for 20+ minutes, is that normal?

    That would indicate that it is not properly connected to the network.
    Reboot Apple TV and router
    Router should have port 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)
    If on wifi try ethernet
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (setting - general - network)

  • How long does it normally take for all of your music to load on the new computer when you are home sharing?

    I am trying to load my music on my sisters computer. How long does it normally take for the first time to download? Her computer has been "Checking for new purchases," for about an hour now.

    10 hours does not seem right at all. Should take several minutes at best. The entire OS installation is under an hour. Post your issue in the FCS forum area here:

    The length of a piece of string.
    There are too many variables for anyone to ask the question. How good is your broadband? How busy is the server you're downloading from? What processor on your Mac? How full is the HD? How much Ram do you have?
    Set aside a couple of hours.

  • HT1600 How long does the update take to install?

    How long does the latest Apple TV software update take to install?

    I started the Apple TV software update at 8:00pm, hoping to watch a movie that night.  After two hours, the update was still not complete - the status bar was stuck in the middle - so I left the update running and went to bed.  The next morning, the update was finally complete, so it must have taken several hours.  I have since installed an AirPort Extreme router - perhaps the next Apple TV software update will go faster!  Updates on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro are complete within minutes and I expected the same with Apple TV.  All in all, I really enjoy the Apple products and technology.

    How long does it usually take from an iBook to be authenticated on iTunes Publisher?

    Have you connected it to your computer running iTunes? If you have and it's still displaying the connect to iTunes logo, then you need to troubleshoot why it's not being recognized by the computer. As long as that's on the screen, it isn't doing anything.

  • Qosmio F30-117: How long does the repair take?

    can any body tell me how long does it take for toshiba repair center to repair the laptop and send it back. I bought this new laptop but there was harddisk fault, then i sent it for repair but not yet received. Its two weeks now.

    Mine went for repair twice - I think the fault was quite straightforward so was just a screen swap. This may explain the speed of turnaround. The first time it was picked up on a Wednesday - arrived Thursday and was repaired. It was then sent back and I got it on Monday (4 working days). The second time it took longer and was around 7-8 working days.
    I found it useful to call the repair centre. They have some notes on machines there but if they can't give you specifics they should be able to give you the number for the 3rd party people that fix them and they'll give you a full update. Usually the third party places only work standard office days and hours.
    hope this helps.

  • How long does the nano take to ship?!?

    I ordered my Nano about 4 or 5 days ago and it still says it is processing my order. Whats with that, does anybody know how long it is going to take?

    I ordered a 2gb black nano on Sunday night. The apple site says that the order has been shipped and gives me a tracking code for a shipping service called same day right away, or something. But the site says that there is no such tracking number in their database. The email I have says that it takes up to 24 hours for it to post, but it's been at least 48.
    I've also heard of some people getting their nano's almost immediately after ordering them without paying extra for the 3 - 5 day shipping, just wanted to see how many that happened for.. I'm hoping i'll be one of the lucky ones!

  • How long does express replacement take for an Iphone 4s??

    My iPhone 4s broke today, and I called for an express replacement for it. They charged $30 for it, and put the order in.
    The representative failed to mention what I'm supposed to do and how long it would take for my new iphone to come in. I also failed to ask him these questions, I dont know why..
    So how long will it take for my new iPhone to come in, and what do I do with my current broken iPhone once the new one does come in?

    Instead of waiting here for a response, why don't you just call them back and ask?
