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

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.

HT4117 How long does this update take?

How long should the 10.7 SMC Firmware update take? I got the progress bar for the download and then the screen went black and the light pulsed as if my MacBook Pro were asleep. I waited fifteen minutes and nothing - no fan or other activity. I pressed the power button in a variety of ways (hold for thirty seconds and release - press once briefly - did this a dozen or so times) and now the light is on and the fan is running. It's been another nine minutes.
Should I just be patient or is there a problem?

Your iPhone 4 will be updated to iOS 7.1, that was improved thinking on iPhone 4 speed.
How long it will take depends of your internet connection.

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.

How long should Yosemite update take?

HHow long does Yosemite update take?

An update or upgrade? Read Software update, upgrade--what's the difference? - Apple Support.
There are two parts to upgrading an earlier version of OS X to Yosemite: downloading it and installing it. The time required to download it is a function of your ISP's speed as well as your wireless environment, assuming you're using wireless. If you have a reasonably fast connection, that will be about an hour. It can take a few times that much if your connection is particularly slow.
Installing Yosemite will take 30 to 40 minutes or so.
Incremental updates occur considerably faster than that, but they also require the same two parts: downloading and installing.

How long does the new update take to load??

I waited for over 12 hours and still did not download. My internet connexion is very fast. AppelTV seems to have gone on an endless loop: apple logo, blank screen, appel logo, etc. Can anyone tell me what I should do? I can't reset it, since I cannot get out of this loop. Any help, suggestion, will be greatly appreciated.

HT5704 How long does this update take to download? Last time it was like 9 hrs

Last time I updated an update from my Acer Netbook it took 9 hours. I was trying to find out if this normal or if I am doing something incorrectly. I have only had my phone since last fall

The update is about 900 MB, and the download time is purely a function of your Internet connection speed. On my FiOS connection it takes about 5 minutes.

How long should current update take to load on my mac? been 5 hrs.

last night(16th.) very early AM 17th. there was a window which appeared saying critical update for firefox, update now? so I clicked on update now(around 2amCST) and went to bed. just came on line around 20 min. ago(725AM CST) and the update was still running. clicked on yellow dot so I wouldn't have to look at it. Am afraid there is/I did something wrong? help please...

I let my iPhone run out of battery. Plugged it in, but went right back to the white screen/black apple (startup screen I think). Let it die again. Hooked it back up to the iMac & let it power back up: it's on the startup screen still & the iMac and iTunes have no idea it's there. Disconnected it. Can't turn it off. Guess I'll visit Apple after work tomorrow.

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.

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.

Restore Ipod? How Long Should This Take?

I received my replacement iPod back from Apple this afternoon. As a Windows 2000 user, I followed the instructions provided to reset the iPod for Windows. Namely to install the latest updater, restart PC, run updater... connect iPod and select Restore when the box became available.
The message then popped up saying Your iPod has been restored to factory settings and is restarting. Please leave the iPod connected and wait while it completes the restore process.
Just how long should this take? I hit restore at 14:15pm UK time, it's now 22:15 and it's still sat there with the same message, iPod blinking Do Not Disconnect and seemingly nothing else happening. Should it be restarted by now?
If it helps, am running Win 2000 SP4, used iPod updater 11-17-05, PC has 192mb RAM and is PIII 600Mhz.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
I clicked the X. It told me application couldn't be cancelled. Shut down PC anyway. Disconnected iPod. Apple logo shows up. Battery charger image shows, so I connected it to the mains charger... it sat there, thought about it and told me it was fully charged! Is now sat here quite happily accepting tunes from my iTunes library!
Thanks ever so much for the help, really appreciate it! Going to work tomorrow will seem more worthwhile having music to listen to!

HT204655 how long should the update and subsequent uploading take (to start)?

I am trying to upload my photos to photo (icloud) from my old macbook pro (2010) and it has been over 24 hours since i started and it is still showing 'updating...'?
How long should this take? I have tried the usual - restart photo; restart mac; turn off and on icloud upload.
the file is about 9000 iphone photos and 100 short videos.
Thanks for any help.

How long is a piece of string?
Essentially it should not take too long (in my experience 20 minutes max from start to finish) although there are many, many factors that can affect the time taken to download and install the upgrade. Namely the reliability of your broadband connection, reliability of your router/firewall; reliability of the wireless connection (assuming you connect to your router wirelessly); downstream bandwidth supplied to your location by your ISP; the 'health' of your iMac; how much disk space for example? This is not an exhaustive list by any means.
If it's any help I would try the wired connection (ethernet) rather than wireless, I would log into your router's interface and double-check it's maintaining a good connection - if necessary reboot the router and try the upgrade again. Try and make sure there's only you using it at the time you do the upgrade.

About all you can do is wait until it finishes or you get an error message.

HT3231 how long should a migration take? Mine says about 24 hours.

How long should a migration take? Mine says about 24 hours.

I would always recommend migrating from a Time Machine backup drive...it's the most reliable (and fastest) means of moving everything over...and it's the most convenient, since you don't need to have two computers up and running to accomplish the backup.
If you'd like to some good reading on migrating everything over, I highly recommend the following site:

I hope this helps!
Congratulations on your new iMac.
