How Long Should It Take To Transfer approx 4000 songs to a 16GB MP3 play
All files are 28k
ps.
Should it takes about 4-5 hours or is this too slow?
Thanks
I doubt the transfers are at USB . speeds. I think the transfer time the O.P. indicates is in the "reasonable" range.
Assuming an average transfer time of 3 sec/track it would take 200 minutes (or 3 /3 hours) to transfer 4000 tracks. From my own experience a consistent 3 sec/track avg transfer to the Zen is optimistic. If there is any on-the-fly conversion going on it will likely be substantially slower.
[Addendum: I should probably clarify the speeds I mention above are based upon my real-world experience doing "sync" operations from apps like WMP and MediaMonkey to my Zen. Direct file copies to the Zen can be faster but that is a bit moot since most people use syncing. Nothing in my experience approaches anything close to theoretical USB 2.0 transfer speeds, if for no other reason than the cap imposed by the relati've slowness of flash memory write operations compared to read operations.]

HT1202 how long should it take to sync approx 900 songs with my new computer
How long should it take to sync my ipod to a new computer and how can I tell the progress it is making, looks like nothing is happening?
It could take anywhere from 5 10 minutes or possibily longer depending on a number of factors, such as the amount of system resources available for syncing and how much bandwidth is available on the USB bus, etc. The best thing to do in this situation is wait it out for a while.

There is no answer to that. The time depends on the amount of data and the method used for transfer.

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 should it take to transfer aperture library to an external drive 54GB
can any one help with this ?
Do the math. Look at the transfer rate of your connection and drive then divide that into 54GB. And the transfer rate provided by your device manufacturer is likely the theoretical rate so reduce your result somewhat.

Using Migration Assistant and I am transferring data from PC to IMac. Have no idea how ling this process should take. How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?
This may not be the best forum to get an answer.
Depending on what is being/can be migrated it may be dependent on how much data is on the PC already.

How long should it take a well-qualified server admin to migrate from Tiger to Lion...
How long should it take a well-qualified server admin to migrate from Tiger to Lion...
For a small company, if the Tiger server is running on a G4 Tower:
-Roughly 500GB in user files
-Data resides on old-school ATA drives
-OD Master - Kerberized
-AFP
-Mobile Homes
-DHCP
-DNS (for 2 domains)
-FTP
-iChat
-Mail (non SSL)
-NetBoot
-Print Server
-SWUPD
-VPN
-Hosting website using MySQL
-User & Computer Management
Considerations/Hurdles/Challenges:
-Tossing old G4 into garbage, upgrading Mini client to Snow Leopard, adding Lion iMac client to the LAN
-Fresh OS installs on the Mini and iMac
-Upgrading from CAT5 to CATE on the LAN (not it the walls - just loose cables)
-All new hardware must be sourced out (take some time to price compare)
-Must find a way to transfer data from ATA drives to SATA drives or Lion Server
-Company must not have any email downtime (MX Records to be modified on DNS Providers site)
-Servers hostname goes from "companyserver.company.com" to "server.company.com"
-ISP blocks some SMTP ports
-DNS Provider doesn't support TSL/SSL SMTP
-Implementing a switch into the network
-Implementing a new router (for firewall and NAT) from ISP
Upgrading to Lion Mini Server
-All the same services
-Using SSL
-Implementing Mobile Device Enrolment and Deployment
That should just about cover it. I'll add any other details/hurdles as they come to mind.
Can you guys give me your best guesstimate as to how many hours you think this job should take? I'd appreciate any feedback as to how long you guys think it'd take you to make this transition. I'm trying to plan, and we're going to be down-and-out, the boss NEEDS to know for how long.!
Thanks in advance guys!It's about a gigabyte, so if you have a slow connection, it might take some time.
But - you shouldn't be getting the beach ball - that's a different thing.
Can you do open Activity Monitor, or is it stuck completely? -

How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB? I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night? Thanks
That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

How long should it take it to back up icloud to iphone 5c?
The answer depends on the amount of data to be restored, the speed of your Internet connection, and wireless network conditions. It could take the better part of a day.

I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot. -
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. -
I've erased and formatted the hard drive accordingly in order to reinstall OS X. everything went fine until about half way through the install. it just seems to stop. how long should this take? should i do something else to speed it up?
About all you can do is wait until it finishes or you get an error message.

Can anyone help please?
Lion download to iMac has been running for about 2 hours and is still not halfway yet. How long should it take? should I cancel and start again?1500Kbs is 1.5Mbs. That is Kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so if you divide 1500 (or 1,500,000) by 8 you get 187500 bytes a second. Divide 3.5GBs (3,500,000,000), that capitol B is for Bytes, by that 187500 you get 18666.666 seconds. Which needs to be divided by 60 to get the minutes and then again by 60 to get the hours.
5.1851xxx hours.
I use to have a 3Mbs DSL connection and it took me over 3 hours to download Lion. Now that I have a 19Mbs Cable connection it take about an hour to download and install.
So wait it will happen eventually. If you cancel and start again your are still going to wait 5+ hours. -
Ripping DVD's - How long should it take?
How long should it take to rip a whole DVD? PQDVD seems the easiest, but it rips at 1x speed (or close to it). Are there programs out there that do it faster? Are there programs that are cheaper? $35 is a lot of money.
I use DVD Decryptor (free) to rip the VCD files from the DVD.
I then use Videora for iPod to encode them to MP4.
Time for DVD Decrypt is about 15 minutes for a 2 hour movie.
Time for Videora is about an hour and a half for a 2 hour movie (give or take a half hour).
DVD Decryptor needs to be set to Not split the files based on size, and there is another tab that asks if you want to split the VCD files at all. Both set to none, find in the options screen.
Good luck!
