Your time depends on how busy the Apple servers are and your ISP's download speed. For me it takes ~1 hour to download then ~ 30mins to install.

    How long does it take to download and install Yosemite?

    That is going to depend on the speed of your Internet connection as well as your machine. It took about an hour to install on my mid 2011 iMac if I recall. I started it and walked away, stopping in to check on it a few times throughout the evening.  That doesn't include the time it takes to download the ~5GB installer.

  • How long does it take to download and install Mavericks?

    my 10.6 is stuck on it for 8hrs.

    I suggest you start over.  Mine took about 20 minutes to download and another 30 to fully install.  All depends on internet speed and Mac speed.

  • How long does it take to download and install full feature software for Officejet 4500 g510g-m?

    I have been updating my software in hopes I can get my Officejet 4500 g510g-m to work wirelessly but the full feature software has been at the "installing software" stage for over an hour. Is this normal? Also, anyone know where I can find a step by step guide on setting up my printer for wireless use? Is it even possible?

    The download speed is dependent on many things, but is often a factor of your Internet provider's service.  If you are on basic DSL, then over an hour is not out of line.  If you are on cable, something is wrong.

    Is there a way to make the Adobe Application Manager download the archive containing the software on another disk? (I am not talking about setting a different install folder, my understanding is that the application downloads the files in a Temp folder on my C: Drive)
    My problem is this: I got a SSD as boot drive but the size is very limited (Effectively 52GB) and I am experiencing troubles in downloading the whole suite: Illustrator, Flash and other programs do not have enough size to download and extract on my C: drive.
    Looking forward to an answer.

  • How long will it take to download Lion?

    Lion Doesmnot seem to be downloading properly.

    Mine took 5 hours (maybe more ... I stopped waiting and watching).  Some reported as little as 3.  Zoom in on the little Lion synbol in the dock ... the progress bar moves more quickly in the pixel-scale-range that is in that tiny icon.
    After it downloads, use this to save it and avoid another download (courtesy of Kappy): https://discussions.apple.com/message/16639520#16639520

  • 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.

  • Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?, Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?

    Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?, Just recieved my iphone4 and i have no service, how long will it take to activate?

    Normally activation should only be a matter of minutes, but if your iTunes library (where you're trying to activate the phone)  is in a place where you have no cell service, it will not activate until you take it to a place where you do have service.
    So if it is sitting idle and not activating that could be a reason (happened to me). If you're a Verizon customer you may have to dial *228, then press 1 to finish the activation.

  • I 5c fell in toilet and won't turn off. have it in rice, how long will it take?

    I 5c fell in toilet and won't turn off. have it in rice, how long will it take?

    How long will what take? You should leave the phone in rice for at least 4-5 days. At that point, plug the phone in and let it charge for about 15 minutes and see if it turns on. Accept the fact your phone will probably never work properly again.

  • How long does it take to download a movie with a 2 Mb/sec connection speed?

    I will shortly be returning back to the UK after a number of years in India where we have a slow internet connection. I will need to sign up for a new ISP and want to choose carefully what kind of contract I buy. Downloads on my current speed ( never more than 170kbps) are impractically slow so I was wondering what I could expect with a faster connection. For instance, how long would it take to download a movie or TV show, and what about the large software updates. To update to 10.4.10 took all night here!

    Take a look at this page:
    iTunes Store: Download times for purchases will vary
    It should give you an idea as to what sort of download times you can expect.
