"Waiting for activating, this may take some time" appears
I have a problem, everytime i turn on my Ipad, it appears " waiting for activation, this may need some time" then i choose dismiss, Ipad works normally, but the sentences that appear are disturbing. What should I do? How to activate Ipad since there is no option to activate athough i have plugged it into itunes many times? I live and use my ipad in Indonesia. Any of you know the solution? Is it because i live in Indonesia and i use Indonesian itunes account? Thanks
If you have the 3G version of the iPad and haven't purchased a 3G data plan, go to Settings > Cellular Data and turn cellular data off to stop the messages.

IPhone 4 ( waiting for activation this may take some time)?
How do I get my phone activated and get that message to go away?
Same thing with my new iPhone 4: "waiting to activate...." Then 1 hour, a few network restarts and power cycles later, here's what activated it.
From another ATT wireless phone (could be other ATT phone)
- I called 611.
- Pressed 2 to enter another phone number (mine for my new iPhone); listened to recording about me getting a new phone (yep).
- Pressed 1 to activate my phone.
- entered billing zip then last four digits of soc sec #.
- Pressed 1 to really activate my new phone (and understood my old iPhone would be disabled phone-wise).
- Turned my iPhone 4 off and waited for 5 minutes "while the cell system updates."
- Turned my iPhone 4 ON and, yep, it activated. -

Always show"Waiting for activation, it may take some time to"
I just bought a iphone5,but it always show "Waiting for activation, it may take some time to",i just can use Wifi,don't know what happen
Congrats on the new phone abochoa! Ann154 & gina7239 are right. The SIM activation can take a bit, and it's best to make sure the SIM was meant for the number you're activating. Here's a great site for help with the initial set up and activation of your new iPhone 5: http://bit.ly/Vl0NrS. If it takes more than an hour to activate, try powering the phone down and removing the SIM for a minute to refresh the phone's connection to the WiFi network and activation process.
Thank you

I have not backed up my computer using Time Machine since before I updated to Mavericks. It has been "preparing backup" for a half hour at least and shows no indication of how long this may take. Is something wrong?
No. TM has to look through your entire drive contents and copy them all. This will take some time.
Once the first backup is made, then subsequent backup will be much quicker, depending on how much data has changed since the last one. -
I'm using Firefox 3.6.17, and have installed Rikaichan 2.02. Once I've installed the Japanese-English dictionary, I then click on Rikaichan to get it started, and it always gives a "Javascript Application" error:
'''"The index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers"'''
Rikaichan always works fine on my laptop, but I just can't seem to install it properly at work. Is there some sort of office security screwing it up?venicespent,
Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours.
I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.

ugh......firefox has been wanting to install 17.01 or 17.04, can't remember which number, it bugs me and bugs me until i say o.k. i'll update my version. so i let it, it has to restart my computer,, then it says just a minute firefox is checking your addons for comparison, or whatever the 'f' it says, then a box comes on and a scrolling horizontal line goes back and forth like its working and the bottom says, this may take a few minutes. well, i wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and........nothing. i can't cancel it i can't x out of the box...i've let it do it for over and hour and it does nothing.....so i have to use internet ex. i've redownloaded firefox from there to try it from scratch and same thing happens, if I say cancel to the box right away it stops then nothing and i can rehit the firefox button and it will load firefox. but never fear....another box comes up later and says you need the latest version of firefox....man if the system on your end isn't working, can't you guys see this? I'm disappointed that you have sold out not too long ago too. and the ads and slowness and privacy is becoming more of an issue
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file. -
I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -

"Extracting this may take a while" for 4 hours
I downloaded the trial and had to download the adobe download assistant and it started downloading my file after it finished. After it finished downloading it said Extracting... This may take a while. Its been saying that for 4 hours now and it only took 30min to download. Is this normal and if not what can i do to fix it?
Check for the Internet connection. If its good, then try the same with a different broswer. Below link would help in this scenario,

Activation - This May Help You
First and foremost, remember that there are hundreds of thousands of new AT&T subscribers who have elected to "move their current phone number" over to the AT&T service. So it should be no surprise to anyone during these first few days of glitches.
Some important information when you opt to transfer your old number to this new service:
When going through the online setup you'll be asked for the billing information. This is not the credit card billing information, it is the billing information your previous Cell Phone service is using to bill you. Get a copy of your last statement and put that address in letter-for-letter. If it is all caps but it in all caps. If it says "#" instead of "APT" then put in "#".
My experience: when I enrolled in the online service through iTunes I put in the credit card billing address because that's what all online vendors ask for. I was moving from T-Mobile over to AT&T. First it denied my request altogether and told me to go into an AT&T store for a credit check. I said "be damned!" and tried it again. Still, it was a no go so I hunted for numbers and called AT&T International (1-877-800-3701).
Nice chick helped me and we went through the online information again. When I gave the billing information she asked "Is that the same billing information T-Mobile is using?" I looked at my T-Mobile bill and said - "Well, yes, somewhat. I mean, they have it all in CAPS, abbreviate street as ST, use a 9-digit Zip Code, and don't show our suite number (I run a company, my iPhone doubles as a business phone). "Try changing it to exactly as it appears in the T-Mobile billing..."
I did so and the moment I pushed the "continue" button a "ding" rang out and my OSX Mail program announced a new message. AT&T sent me an email to my Mac.com account to say "Processing Activation - We are currently processing your order. Your order number is xxxxxx.
You will receive an additional e-mail when your order is complete that will provide further instructions to activate your iPhone."
Ok. Good sign. She then said it would take some time because of the thousands of new accounts and transfer for the transfer of the number to complete, maybe as long as 24 hours.
I stood in line in the downtown Apple store for over four hours with five of my employees (ok, we took turns) so I was disappointed in the amount of time it would take to activate. There was nothing to do but wait.
Please note guys: the phone will not work any features until it is activated by AT&T. No iPod, no syncing, no nothing. This was sure to be part of the Apple/AT&T agreement (probably required by AT&T) to ensure AT&T made money on the deal.
I go to bed wake up and still no activation. Every hour I checked and no activation. As the 17th hour approached I said "enuf..." and started dialing. I found a specific phone number to check your AT&T activation on number transfers. Here it is: 1-888-898-7685
I called, explained that I was a doctor (I am!) and needed the phone activated. Again I got a nice female who checked my account and said that it was noted as activated. "Did you try turning it off then on?" "Yes, repeatedly. "Let me do some checking..." and off she went. She was gone about a minute and asked me to try turning the iPhone off and on again and to wait at least a minute before turning it back on. She waited as I did this.
Low and behold the **** thing lit up like a Christmas tree, announced it was activated and while still on the line my mail program starting dinging with "You've been activated... Welcome to AT&T... Congratulations on own your new iPhone..."
So there you go. That's my experience. As of this moment all six of our iPhones (myself and my employees) are all turned on and working. The employees had different services from Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. The slowest activations were with T-Mobile.
Opinion: I think Apple has done a tremendous job. Once the waiting line began moving at the downtown store, Apple employees shined! These guys were amazing and like clockwork they took our credit cards, handed us our phones and ushered us right out the door. They had shifts of customers coming in the door and to various cash registers upstairs and down. While in line they kept us all entertained with clowns, musicians, and the general whackos who wanted the City streets. They brought us red wagons of bottled water and thanked us profusely for being so patient.
Activation was a glitch but understandable. Once you are activated you forget the headache because the iPhone is so amazing. We have so much free WiFi here in San Francisco that the internet portion of the iPhone is incredibly fast. Everything on the iPhone works as demonstrated by Steve and the YouTube stuff is mesmerizing and oftentimes funny.
So don't give up. Hang in there. I love my iPhone!
Tim...AT&T has corrected the activation problems incurred by the initial onslaught of new iPhone buyers. Today activation is a pretty simple process.
