How long should an update take !!!!!!

Connected up my mini IPod today and I recevied a message saying an update was available. I went ahead and downloded the update.
The ipod update window appeared and only offered the restore option. I thought what the **** lets take that one. Well its been running now for two hours with a "do not disconnect" message on the ipod.Two hours ? That cant be right can it?

You are stuck in the " loop " . Disconnect and try again. Been there , done that.

I am intalling leopar 10.5 on my computer. It's been "intalling" for over 3 hours now. How long should this usually take if you intall it via DVD?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It shouldn't take that amount of time. What is the screen showing? Is the progress bar frozen? The only solution would be to restart your Mac, but it's better to first check what your screen is showing

How long should Yosemite update take?

HHow long does Yosemite update take?

An update or upgrade? Read Software update, upgrade--what's the difference? - Apple Support.
There are two parts to upgrading an earlier version of OS X to Yosemite: downloading it and installing it. The time required to download it is a function of your ISP's speed as well as your wireless environment, assuming you're using wireless. If you have a reasonably fast connection, that will be about an hour. It can take a few times that much if your connection is particularly slow.
Installing Yosemite will take 30 to 40 minutes or so.
Incremental updates occur considerably faster than that, but they also require the same two parts: downloading and installing.

How long should current update take to load on my mac? been 5 hrs.

last night(16th.) very early AM 17th. there was a window which appeared saying critical update for firefox, update now? so I clicked on update now(around 2amCST) and went to bed. just came on line around 20 min. ago(725AM CST) and the update was still running. clicked on yellow dot so I wouldn't have to look at it. Am afraid there is/I did something wrong? help please...

I let my iPhone run out of battery. Plugged it in, but went right back to the white screen/black apple (startup screen I think). Let it die again. Hooked it back up to the iMac & let it power back up: it's on the startup screen still & the iMac and iTunes have no idea it's there. Disconnected it. Can't turn it off. Guess I'll visit Apple after work tomorrow.

HT201269 I'm updating from my iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 and have been 'restoring' for 2 hours now and the progress bar still states I hae 6 hours remaining. Will it really take this long? How long should a restore take? It's a 32gb device. Thanks.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

I have been sent an email saying my podcast was accepted and will be up on iTunes in a few hours. That was 5 hours ago. How long should this process take?

There's no fixed time. If it's been accepted - presumably you've been given a URL? - it should appear reasonably soon. However it can dake some days before it turns up in the search results. The podcast image, if you have one, may also take some days to appear.

How long should "Disk Repair" take?

I have a G Raid 4 T external drive that I recently had shipped back from my editor. She did not use the original packing box and I fear the drive could be damaged. It starts up okay and doesn't make any suspicious noises - but it doesn't mount. I ran disk utility and it told me I need to run "Disk Repair." I've been doing this - for more than an hour so far. How long should this typically take? Should I try something else?

It's usually related to the size of the drive, which in your case, is pretty big.

HT3231 how long should a migration take? Mine says about 24 hours.

How long should a migration take? Mine says about 24 hours.

I would always recommend migrating from a Time Machine backup drive...it's the most reliable (and fastest) means of moving everything over...and it's the most convenient, since you don't need to have two computers up and running to accomplish the backup.
If you'd like to some good reading on migrating everything over, I highly recommend the following site:

I hope this helps!

Thanks for any help.

How long is a piece of string?
Essentially it should not take too long (in my experience 20 minutes max from start to finish) although there are many, many factors that can affect the time taken to download and install the upgrade. Namely the reliability of your broadband connection, reliability of your router/firewall; reliability of the wireless connection (assuming you connect to your router wirelessly); downstream bandwidth supplied to your location by your ISP; the 'health' of your iMac; how much disk space for example? This is not an exhaustive list by any means.
If it's any help I would try the wired connection (ethernet) rather than wireless, I would log into your router's interface and double-check it's maintaining a good connection - if necessary reboot the router and try the upgrade again. Try and make sure there's only you using it at the time you do the upgrade.

How long does imovie update take

I need to use iMovie (first time in months) and all afternoon it has told me that it is updateing and can't be used while updating. How long should it take? How do I know when it finishes?
Or what will happen when I close down my computer in 30 minutes to take it home? There is no other indication of a download.

10.0.2 download is about 2 GB so unless you have a fast internet connection it may take a long time. The update should resume automatically when you restart
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485
The App Store shows a progress bar whilst the update is downloading and when it is installed the update will show in the recent updates list.

HT4117 How long does this update take?

How long should the 10.7 SMC Firmware update take? I got the progress bar for the download and then the screen went black and the light pulsed as if my MacBook Pro were asleep. I waited fifteen minutes and nothing - no fan or other activity. I pressed the power button in a variety of ways (hold for thirty seconds and release - press once briefly - did this a dozen or so times) and now the light is on and the fan is running. It's been another nine minutes.
Should I just be patient or is there a problem?

Your iPhone 4 will be updated to iOS 7.1, that was improved thinking on iPhone 4 speed.
How long it will take depends of your internet connection.

ID CS2 Windows XP Pro - How long should adding pages take?

I am using InDesign CS2 in Windows XP Pro. I have an ID book file with 13 sections, approximately 20-25 pages in each section. There are approximately 4,000-5,000 images on the pages (total on all pages). I am using auto page numbering and am trying to add three blank pages to the beginning of the second section. It's been working for about two hours so far to make the change. Is this normal? I'm a Macintosh guy, so I'm not sure how long this process should take on a Windows machine. When I open the task manager, it says that InDesign is using 47-54% CPU (it fluctuates between 47 and 54%). I've quit all other apps (except system-related), even though they weren't using any of the processor, but it hasn't sped things up. In the menu bar at the top of the main ID window, it says "not responding," but I've seen that before and then it's started working again.
Is this normal? How long should I wait? I know adding an odd number of pages means that items on pages in the sections after the one to which I'm adding pages have to be shifted from right-hand pages to left-hand pages, but should it be taking this long?
I appreciate any input or suggestions. Thank you.
Lloyd Lathrop

Guys,
Thanks for the replies. I'm actually not sure how these files were set up (before I was here), and I haven't dug into them yet, but I'm trying to fix them (each book file is a 300-page catalog, and we have 10 catalogs...pray for me!). I thought there were 2GB of RAM, so that's one place to start. I'll try to add the pages with all the other sections closed first. I went through each section and they almost all had "sections" beginning on an internal page within the section in addition to the first page of the section. I want "automatic page numbering," so I unchecked "start section" (or whatever it says) on those internal pages.
I'll requisition more RAM and keep plugging away. Thanks for the suggestions.
Lloyd

How long should Asset encoding take?

I am burning a DVD of a one hour soccer game. The asset encoding process sure seems to take forever. I am well over two hours of encoding.

Hi - I'm trying to burn a 1hr 5min movie to iDVD from iMovie 4 using my G4 PB with 1.33 GHz and 768mb DDR SDRAM - I've got about 32GB free on my hard drive, but the movie is taking forever to finish 'asset encoding'. It's been doing it for about 24 hours now! There is a lot of different music files and transitions used throughout the film, but has this happened to anyone else? I'm not even sure if I should be leaving my Powerbook on for this long. Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated and how long should I leave it before I give up!?! (I can still use other programs - the whole thing doesn't seemed to have crashed)
Thanks, Paul
