HT4796 how long does the windows migration take

I have been migrating music and other things from my pc to my new macbook pro. It has been stuck on 40 minutes for a hour now. What should I do?

That's rather like asking how long is a piece of string.
It depends on how much you've got to migrate. Make sure that you run software update on the old machine before you start the migration. Failure to do this is one of the biggest causes of problems people have with this process.

    How long does the Apple TV take to update? It looks as though mine got jammed! What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mine's usually about 5 minutes, but it wouldn't be more than 30-40, if it's any longer.......
    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

    It should not be stuck at the language choice. Is there a "Next" button in the upper right corner? Or a blue arrow pointing to the right?

  • HT5262 how long does the back up take?

    How long does the back up take?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It depends of the space your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad has to back up on iCloud. You can see what's backed up in Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, and select the backup, so you will be able to choose what you want to back up. The device will back up automatically when it's connected to the power adapter

  • HT4796 How long does the migration assistant transfer usually take?

    This transfer seems to be taking a really long time and no real change in status. How long does it usually take?

    I originally tried to migrate from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac via wifi. 30 hours, and it never finished. Tried again, same result. 3 days later, and never finished the transfer,  I connected the two via ethernet. Less than 4 hours to transer files (had a lot of high quality pix), but now up and running with no problems ... although I now have two main users. Read somewhere that there's a way to fix that. Don't EVER go wifi for Migration. Especially if you have others in your household using wifi, or a lot of high MB files. Or even if you've put you phone on wifi.
    Oh yeah: don't forget to set your drive auto shut down to "never." That info isn't provided. Crucial for both devices. If either computer sleeps (the drive, not the screen), migration stops and doesn't warn as to "why" your migration isn't progressing, and you have to start all over. Be sure to go back and adjust the computer shut dowm to "never." System Preferences," "Energy Saver."
    I am Mac, through and through. Just wish they'd offer more "how to" upfront versus me searching online or making an appointment to see some Genius, or waiting on hold for Apple assistance, to solve problems which I believe many face.
    3 days later, migration complete. Finally. Seriously, Ethernet is the only way to go when you move from one Mac to another.
    Been there, done that. Wish that Apple would suggest Ethernet as the way to Migrate. Have as of yet to see a successful migration via wifi; and I have looked, Googled, searched the topic. Apple should suggest Ethernet as the best way to migrate. Period.

  • How long does the newest update take? My Mac has been installing for over an hour. Don't know what to do?

    Installing the newest update for mavericks. Has been installing for over an hour. Don't know what to do. How long should it take?

    I went to Apple Chat and they lead me through a power down and start up with Recovery Disc Utility (Hold down  Apple and R keys when powering up).
    Then was instructed to run Disk Recovery and it showed HD was error free. Then a reboot started up fine to desktop and showed update to 10.9.2 had been installed. I am guessing the internet connection my have been interrupted during the install.
    Apple Chat folks are awesome and a short wait too.

    How long does the Maverick install take?

    The length of a piece of string.
    There are too many variables for anyone to ask the question. How good is your broadband? How busy is the server you're downloading from? What processor on your Mac? How full is the HD? How much Ram do you have?
    Set aside a couple of hours.

  • HT1600 How long does the update take to install?

    How long does the latest Apple TV software update take to install?

    I started the Apple TV software update at 8:00pm, hoping to watch a movie that night.  After two hours, the update was still not complete - the status bar was stuck in the middle - so I left the update running and went to bed.  The next morning, the update was finally complete, so it must have taken several hours.  I have since installed an AirPort Extreme router - perhaps the next Apple TV software update will go faster!  Updates on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro are complete within minutes and I expected the same with Apple TV.  All in all, I really enjoy the Apple products and technology.

  • How long does the warranty repair service take?

    Hi,
    I bought my laptop on 2007-07-06 and few days later I have noticed that my RTC battery isn working properly, so I have returned my laptop to Toshiba on 25.07.2007. On the Toshiba Service Status site http://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/WeblordTracking/default.aspx i see that they received it on 27.07.2007.
    The next entry, which is 30.07.2007, says that the repair is in progress and nothing else. So, does anybody know how long can take a battery change, and how long do I have to wait for my laptop?

    Hi Leszek
    As you know it is not easy to say how long time the repair will take and I presume it is not the same by every authorized service partner. Some of them do this faster and some need more time because they have no parts for replacement.
    If you are now in PL (Poland I suppose) it will take a little bit more time as usual.
    BTW: why you didnt try to load BIOS battery as described in Users Manuals? If I am remembering well the loading time is about 48 hours. If you want you can check it in Users Manuals.
