How long should it take to update lion?

I downloaded the lion update and it has been 24 hrs and my screen says installing 1 item .. Moving items into place.. Is is normal for it to take so long?

If it's been moving items into place for all that time than it's stuck.  Others had this also and they rebooting and things were fine.

    Something have gone wrong somewhere.
    Try and reset your iPad.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

  • How long should it take to download Lion?

    I bought a new Macbook Pro today.  At 4:30pm I started downloading Lion.  It is still not done yet.  The blue bar under the Lion head is not even half way across!
    How long should this take!?
    I am plugged into the router with an ethernet cable.  It is a wireless router but I am not connecting to the router wirelessly.  I have cable internet.  Not the fastest speed available, but it is still cable internet not dial up or DSL.
    Is something wrong with my computer or the download?
    Thanks,
    Ehren

    I did the speed test.
    Download speed was:  .87 Mbps
    Upload was:  .32 Mbps
    Ping: 58
    So how many Mbps are there in 4gb?  That's how I figure that out right?

    You are on the low end to say the least.  Maybe 10 hours at your speed?

  • How long should it take to update a 30gig to version 1.2 ?

    My update has now taken 2 hours and the update indicator is still active. If it's relevant, I only had about 2.5 gigs of songs on it. The Ipod screen indicates it's charged, and when I touch the click wheel I get the menu.
    If it doesn't stop after x hours, should I disconnect? It's not showing up as connected in Itunes, but I imagine I could use Xp's device disconnect app. Thanks.

    i am assuming since the ipod is not connected it isn't upgrading anything.
    i am having the same problem. i hit ok to update, and then my ipod ejects. i have been having this problem for over 3 weeks! i can't even put any tv shows on the thing now when i just wasted $30 bucks downloading some for a vacation. T_T

  • How long should it take to update an ipad?

    Can someone help me please? My ipad has been stuck with the same apple sign and the "loading" bar underneath for 2 hours now and i cannot do anything about it. Please help!

    Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost.

  • How long should it take to download Lion  from App store?

    The download bar/indicator does not seem to be moving at all. There have been no messages. Is the App store very busy and should I try again later?

    When I attempted on Day#1, it took nearly 24 hours, three or four aborted downloads, several hung downloads, several stuck at "Waiting..." and a furious rant into the skies after hours of quiet desperation. The last time I tried took me a couple of hours tops.

  • How long should it take to update the shuffle?

  • How long should it take to update increased iCloud storage I have purchased

    Hi
    I have purchased additional I cloud storage but is not reflected in storage volume. Trying to store info/ data but still states I only have 5 mb of free storage ??

    The storage on your phone cannot be increased.
    iCloud is a service which syncs your information and backs up your data.   It will backup up to 5 GB of data free.
    If your phone is out of room, you have to delete contents to make room.

    Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
    Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
    Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

  • 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.

  • HT4718 am trying to install OS X Lion for the first time. So far it has been downloading for about 2 hours. How long should it take?

    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.
