    There are several internet sites you can access to test both your upload and download speeds. Among them are:
    Speedtest.net
    Speakeasy.net
    WhatIsMyIP.ccom
    Be aware that there can and likely will be wide variations in the tested speed depending on the location of the server running your test, time of day, etc. The results should be taken with a grain of salt and treat variations of less than 10% as inconsequential.

  • HT4796 how long should the migration take

    how long should the PC to Mac migration take

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It depends on the amount of files you are transferring and the method you are using to transfer your files (Wi-Fi or Ethernet). Both methods are slow and migration would take hours if you need to transfer a lot of files.
    I only recommend you to use Windows Migration Assistant if you need to transfer a small amount of files. If not, it is much better to copy your files to an external drive and transfer them to your Mac

  • How long should the download for Maverick take?

    I am updating to Mavericks and the download is going on for quite a while.  Since there is no progress bar (only the button which says "Downloading"), I am not sure if anything is happening.  How long should I wait?
    Thanks

    It's almost 6 GB, and the download speed depends on your broadband connection. If you open LaunchPad, or look in the Applications folder for the installer, there will be a progress bar you can watch to see the status of the download.

    Downloading Iphoto 11  It seems to be taking forever.  How long should it take?

    Impossible to answer. Depends on things like the quality of the connection you have, congestion on the network, load on the server.

  • HT4854 How long did the download take? So far it has been 2 hours and it has not completed yet.

    How long does downloading take? So far I have been waiting 2 hours and it has not completed.
    Thanks

    Took me a shade under an hour to download on an 18Mbps connection.
    Basic 768kpbs-1.5Mbps connections can take 8-9 hours (or longer).

  • How long should itunes download take on new computer with windows 7 64 bit ie8?

    I bought a new computer and need to sync my iphone with it.  I'm getting a msg that it has 17+ hrs left to download itunes......seems too long and wonder what I'm doing wrong. thx.

    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • How long does the download take

    i have been waiting for 2 hours and the download bar has not moved at all. why?

    Im having the exact same problem, I started mine 45 minutes ago, and all thats appeared is grey screen, app store logo and a bar underneath and nothing has even loaded in the bar yet and my internet connection is good.

  • HT4623 How long should the restart take after the software has been installed?

    Its already been an hour and the bar is barely moving

    Same here on two Macs, a Mid 2012 MBPro Retina/SSD and a Mid-2011 27" iMac. I waited two hours for the "Restarting" dialog to disappear on the MBPro and then I forced a shutdown and restarted. That worked and did not cause any apparent problems. I went to bed last night with the "Restarting" dialog on the iMac and it was still there this morning. I forced a restart and it, too, seems OK.
    My guess is you should expect this to go on forever, or until you force a restart.
    This is why I do SuperDuper backups of my machines before updating the OS, and I disconnect the backup drives before updating.

  • How long should the backup take as part of the iOS 5 update?

    Any ideas why my iOS5 update can't get past the backing up stage? I've left it running for 12 hours, but the update process never gets past the scrolling message about backing up.

    Well at last its done! I ended the current restore, backed up to icloud instead of itunes and then did a full restore. Hey presto! 10 mins later everything was tickity boo! all contacts, calenders music and even the photos were back! Needless to say I wont be getting the new iphone on my upgrade! Getting very fed up of the crap that goes along with it. Time for an andriod phome me thinks! Sorry apple but this is definitley one customer that you've lost!

  • HT5262 How long should the icloud back up take?

    How long should the iCloud back up take? I only have 4gb of storage but it has taken almost an hour already with approximately 2 hours remaining. 

    Hi RMaskery14,
    If you are concerned about the time your iCloud backup is taking, you may find the following article helpful:
    My backup is taking a long time to finish.
    Backing up and restoring takes time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your network, you may need more time than expected to complete the process. Using a reliable connection when backing up your device is highly recommended.

  • 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.

  • HT1544 how long should this update take?

    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
