How long should program disks be kept after upgrading?

I am currently using Adobe Creative Suites CS3. I have my PageMaker disks back to version 5.0, and my PageMill disks back to version 5.0, from when I first purchased them. To go from PageMill to GoLive, I needed to keep the PageMill disks for the serial numbers. Now I have all of the disks all the way back - PageMaker, PageMill, GoLive, Dreamweaver, CS, CS2. How long do I need to keep these disks? I'd love to be able to give/throw some of them away. Thanks.

I would like to get in contact with you manager and or your IT manager. I
have asked you before to get me of the reply to all list, I am and have been
getting copies of ALL your and several other techs email between your selves
and each other, at the bottom of each mail it says "This message was sent to
larrypike. This just happens to be my logon to your support.
It has been going on for months.

How long should upgrade to Yosemite take?

I have downloaded Yosemite from the AppStore and on my initial attempt to install got to the point of having a grey screen with apple in the middle and a progress bar which stopped about 1/4th the way to completion. I let it run overnight after reading posts online indicating that it should resolve itself with time. After over 12 hours, I restarted the late 2012 MacBook Air and it would immediately go back to the same point in the installation. I then booted to the recovery disk and restored Maverick from my TimeMachine. I have tried to install again and have been stuck in the same spot for over 12 hours. I've tried entering Command-L to observe the log file with no change in what is being displayed. How long should I wait?

Install after download seems to take around a half hour. Of course it will depend on your hardware.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed but it still kept getting stuck on the apple loading screen.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!

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.

Hey Beck,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve Reset All Settings on your iPhone 4s and now you’re running into an issue where the device only displays an Apple logo on startup. The article linked below provides troubleshooting suggestions that should be able to help you resolve the issue.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

How long should it take to transfer information from hard drive to MacBook Pro after resetting

how long should it take to transfer information from my hard drive to my Mac Pro after it has been reset

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

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.

How long should CHKDSK take ?

Hi
I have XP installed on Parallels (not Boot Camp) and it crashes frequently.
When I restart XP it wants to run CHKDSK. When I allow it it quickly gets up to a percent complete (say 18% or 31% but no higher) then just stays there for hours and never seems to complete.
How long should it take ? If I check Activity Monitor then Parallel's CPU usage is low but variable so it seems to be doing something...
Should I just leave it to run all night maybe ?
Thanks

DU doesn't have any support I know of for mapping out sectors. Either the drive will, or you can scan media using TechTool Pro. Speedtools has two programs, one to test media, and another that can auto assign new blocks, or attempt to force the drive to do so. It also has an indepth SMART test which can take about 45 minutes for a drive.
Even SoftRAID I don't think does but will alert if there is an I/O write error (and if anyone was going to, SoftRAID would).
Disk Warrior will write to system log and you can see if there are any used spares, how many left which a Google study found to be a good indicator of a failing drive.
Bad sectors that are used by partition tables require reformatting. DU does test non-user hidden partition table blocks, which is what may happen when DU fails to partition a drive. SoftRAID also tests the first and last 100 sectors, and you can begin and safely stop a zero-all of a drive before creating partitions.
Most of the time, you have to use the zero-all in DU or the more thorough 7-way write-erase to (hopefully) map out bad blocks. Say if TechTool Pro discovers bad media, which of course means losing all data, which is why I own Speedtools.
Chkdsk which does have the option, if you enable it, to map out bad sectors. Something you can't do normally with OS X. Which is one feature of Windows we seem to lack.

How long should it take too boot from cd?

Hello. I bought a new 1TB hard drive for my mid 2010 MacBook Pro and I wanted to get it up and running. It's currently in the computer installed, I've inserted my installation disk, but how long should it take for it to load? I tried letting it sit and load for about 2 hours but I got impatient and shut it off. I'm going to try to see if I see any changes if I let it sit over night. Right now, the grey apple is on the screen with the spinning gradient pinwheel. But on average, how long should it take? I also read that I should have my macbook plugged to my internet connection, so that's on there as well.

How were you booting from the DVD drive? Did you hold down the C key at startup? Try holding down the Option key to get a Boot Selection screen, Wait 30+ seconds for the DVD disc to show up and select it to boot from.
If when using the Option key you never get the install DVD disc showing up or after selecting it to boot from the system just sits there for any length of time, over 2 minutes, then your Supredrive is not reading it. This is a very common problem with the Supredrives. They seem to work for some things and not for others or they just fail out of the blue.
I suggest you go out and buy any brand External DVD drive that connect by USB port (That is Except the Apple USB External Superdrive as they won'r work on your model Mac notebook) and try booting the install DVD from that external DVD drive.

About how long should it take to process a 1:40m movie in iMovie 11?

about how long should it take to process a 1:40m movie in iMovie 11?

Hi
And the free space avail. on the Start-Up (Macintosh HD) also play an important role.
For interlaced SD-Video Quality (as on old fat TVs) - I never go less than 25Gb free space (per hour Video)
For HD - about 4 - 5 times more
If strange Video-Codecs - that might need lot's of conversions to be used - then multiply with 2 - 3 times more and Hope.
I make the conversion of raw material first outside iMovie to make things easier.
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
• No File Vault on - Important
• NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
• Lot's of icons on DeskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
• Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
• And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

Rebuilding library creative V how long should it ta

I just got? my creacti've V 2 days ago & after I took it off dock it says rebuilding library. It's been rebuilding for 8 hours. How long should it take or should I plug the usb back in. reset only takes me back to the rebuilding screen. PLEASE HELP

Ha...it should only take a few seconds. My brand new Zen V Plus is a victim to this hardware problem. It froze on me while initally loading songs. I had to reset using the tiny hole on the side.When I turned it back on....you guessed it..."rebuilding library". End of story. It hung there. I reset again and started to the "recovery menu". First tried "clean up",? scan disk said 00% completed but would not clear or allow menu to return.Reset again. This time I reformatted; a hassle since I had spent an hour loading songs. This Worked!? I got past the "rebuilding library" since there was no library left to rebuild.Started loading songs again. Got about /3 of the library reloaded and then froze in the middle of a transfer.....oh no.......Had to reset again. Tried "clean up" again, (same result). When I restarted, I got "rebuilding library" and the progress bar stopped about 3/4 of the way across and that was all she wrote. In desperation I thought I would try to reload the firmware, perhaps correcting some deeper flaw. I downloaded the new firmware, BUT THEN ran right into a problem that people on this forum have been gnashing their teeth at for over a year. My? new firmware refused to recognize the player even though it was plugged in. I have WMP on my PC...but I wasn't using it. (I use Media Monkey). So I have no idea why the software refuses to recognize the player, but it is a VERY widespread problem. I had the Zen V 4 GB player and am still using it's but I have never tried to reinstall the firmware. Good thing, it would probably be as dead as the new one. Of course I called Creative Tech Support, but the dude offered zero solutions and just told me my player is toast. Thanks a lot. Fortunately, it is new so the store will have to replace it. But this was a terrible experience and reading about so many others having these various problems, I may be shy of CL in the future. Too bad, I absolutely LOVE these players. When I get a replacement player, now I am worried about the software on my laptop from the Zen V 4GB and the leftover software from the aborti've 8GB. I am wondering if I should uninstall Everything before proceeding again. Ya know, it Really shouldn't be necessary.

How long should I wait to download OS5?

After reading all the problems some of you are having I'm in no hurry to update my iPhone 4. This has to be a bug in iTunes, the iPhone or OS5. Or, it's a problem with the servers being overloaded by anxious iPhone owners. Since I can live without OS5 for now, although I would like to have the new features, how long should I wait before updating the OS. Days? Weeks? Months?
When I do update, will I have to download all of my apps again?

Out of warranty exchange unit is $199 in US for 4S at Apple Genius bar ($149 if a 4 )

How long should I leave my iPhone in rice?

My younger sister accidently spilled water on my iphone 4. It seemed okay but it kept trying to turn itself off so I put it in rice and its been in there for about 3 days now. How long should I leave it in there to insure that it will be OK?

you can't be sure if it's ok
But three days should do the trick. Good luck

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!
