How long should reboot take after installing Mavericks?
All was well with my 2011 iMac until I decided to upgrade to Mavericks yesterday. I figured/hoped most of the early bugs must be squashed by now. The download took forever (but that's due to our slow bandwidth here) and the re-start has been going on 12+ hours. It's obviously hung up. I get gray screen with Apple logo; i have cursor control and no spinning ball. Occasiionally it still makes some sounds like it's processing. I've tried safe re-start, re-setting PRAM, ran disk utility to repair disk and all is supposedly OK. Thank God I have this MBP as my alternate device. Any advice as to next streps?? Chuck it all and restart from Time Machine?
If you haven't tried unplugging your peripherals, I'd do that, and try another boot in safe mode.
I wouldn't do a reinstall from TM, as that may reinstall whatever problem that you are having that is causing the installation to fail.
I'd bite the bullet, back up your documents, reformat (erase) the HD, and do a clean install.

How long should yosemite take to install?
yosemite update shows over 24 hours to install, is this normal? My computer goes into screen saver mode and install is paused.
A clean install is about 25 minutes. An upgrade install could take upwards of an hour or so. Should never take 24 hours. That probably means the upgrade has stalled. You should have changed your Energy Saver preferences to Put Computer to Sleep - Never.
You can quit everything by holding down the Power button until the computer shuts down. -

i started to install it this morning and it was sitting for 6 hrs and it still hasn't finished or gotten half way. my internet is a little slow right now but i don't know if it should take this long?
Terminate the process, run the cleaner tool and start over. If the issue persists, you will have to provide proper system info and other technical details so people can help you.

How long should it take to reinstall mavericks from Recovery Disk?
8 GB OF RAM onboard.
It depends on your internet connection. Mine is DSL 7 mbps and it takes +/- 2.5 hours to download the entire + 5 GB installer and then up to 30 minutes to install. Slower connection = will take longer.

How long does iCloud take to install
I have purchased iCloud and it is now four days since I started to install the software. iCloud appears to stop installing when my password protections comes on. I have therefore taken that off until the software is installed.
How long should it take to install? I have over 5686 records to bring matched. The software appears to have checked 5685 and cannot seem to get beyond that number, I have stopped the software and restarted it once but I still end up in the same position.
I also started to transfare some images in to photostream and thought this might have been the problem. However photostream has completed the installation of my images now but iCloud still continues.
Can I have some advice please.
Regards
Asp9990iTunes Match can initially take a very long time to scan your library. Using other iCloud services such as photo stream will not have an effect on iTunes Match.
It should eventually move onto the last song and finish the scan, although 3 days is a very long time for it to be stuck. My library is 1590 songs and took around 12 hours to complete. If it continues to be stuck for a day or two I would suggest restarting the scan. -
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. -
MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?
The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed. -
how long should it take to rest the settings i have done mine and it is still going after 1 hour it is just on the apple screen
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.

If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Ciao,

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 it take to install ios 7 on an iphone 4s?
Note that it was previously on an old ios4 hardware.
I downloaded ios7, and it started installing it via wi-fi 3 hours ago.
Unfortunatelly it seems stuck halfway through.
Should I assume it's stuck or is it normall?
Many thanks!mine took a long time lost patience and rebooted it and then I started from the begining
so guess I made it take even longer and I did it over usb -
Downloaded Lion ... Upgrade began ... 20 minutes later spinning wheel only!! How long should this take? What now?
Install after download seems to take around a half hour. Of course it will depend on your hardware.

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.

How long should it take my iPad to charge
How long should it take my iPad to charge?
What model iPad? 1,2,3,4 or mini? When you ask a question, you need to provide enough info to answer.
I assume you mean from near 0% to 100%.
Depending on the model, it takes 3 to about 8 hours.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
