How long does it take to migrate mail data from snow leopard to lion. Waiting for hours

OK, so here I thought I was solving a calendar sync problem by updating my OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3. Initially unable to load the mail app, however this seemed to work after taking out the "envelope index" file as suggested in this forum. New mail program loaded, but now stuck with rolling blue and white candy bar on a window inside the "Mail Upgrade" window stating "migrating data ...".Thinking I might simply have a lot of data I waited 5 (!!) hours,... No change. I went back to Finder and once again removed the envelope index file as well as all files with a .plist extension. Again started mail, again stuck with the screen "migrating data". So my question: Do I just have to wait (and then for how long? Days?), or do I have to tweek my MacBook Pro a little to be able to once again read and write e-mail?
Thanks

12 hours and did not finish. Still left with the message: migrating data. I cannot imagine what the program is doing.
So I force quit mail and cleaned up everything I know to clean up: went to folder "~/library/Mail" and deleted everything I thought was not needed. Emptied the trash. Now, of course, I have a fair amount of mails in different folders that are stored in the mail program. But from a total data amount point of view this should be trivial.
Restarted mail, get the screen: "Mail Message Import", click "Continue"
Then program successfully imports 4563 messages in less than 2 minutes.
Then - once again - rotating candy bar with message "migrating data ..."
There is no way to see what is actually happening and no way to stop the process other than force quit.
Help!!!

How long does it take to migrate mac to mac via USB

I have the new 27inch iMac, and I am migrating via a USB from my 2008 imac running the latest Mac OSX Lion. It seems to be taking forever.
It is still telling me 24hrs 31 hinutes after 1.5hrs to transfer 320G. Does this sound right? It seemsnot to be moving in time to complete.

Don't use WiFi
Here are the maximum transfer speeds for each connection type
WiFi       300Mb/s (actual rate closer to 50Mb/s depending on distance to source, terrain and error correction)
FW 400 400Mb/s
USB2     480Mb/s
FW 800 800Mb/s
Ethernet1000Mb/s (Cat5 cable)
USB3     5000Mb/s
TBolt     10000Mb/s
In all cases real world speeds tend to be lower but a direct Ethernet connection is fast and reliable. 4 hours plus is not unusual, there is more work going on than just transferring files.
PS: in the case of a connection using 2 methods (eg: FW400 to FW800) the transfer is at the lowest of the 2 speeds, not the highest.

How long does it take to get a refund from Apple?

I returned my MacBook on the 6th or 7th day of having it, and paid the re-stocking fee, 2 weeks ago. Yet I still have no refund. How long does it take to get my refund?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well it shouldn't take 2 weeks.
Call Apple to find out what the status is on your refund or you can go to the Apple store and find out what's going on in person.
Just curious, but why did you return your MacBook?
You should give in another try!

Time machine migration, how long does it take?

Im going to migrate to another mac using time machine, how long does it take (time machine/main hdd in the old mac was at about 700gb capacity)

There is no way of determining that. The time is dependent on a number of different factors.

Using Migration Assistant and I am transferring data from PC to IMac. Have no idea how ling this process should take. How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

This may not be the best forum to get an answer.
Depending on what is being/can be migrated it may be dependent on how much data is on the PC already.

How long does it take to transfer computers

if i purchase a new macbook, how long does it take to transfer everything off my old mac?

Using Migration Asisstant over WiFi (described below), it took me about 2 hours to migrate my 60GB from old to new Mac.
You could speed this up using Ethernet if you choose.

How long does it take to install mountain lion

how long does it take to install mountain lion

It depends on a number of factors - the speed of your computer and hard drive mostly. My experience has been that a standard upgrade will take 30-45 minutes. If you are erasing the hard drive and installing, it takes about 20-30 minutes, not counting migrating your data and applications.
This doesn't count downloading which can take as litting as 40 minutes (a very fast broadband connection during off hours) to as much as several hours.

"How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"

Yesterday there was a question in the USALUG.org "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"
This question was a good question, so I decide to make the ultimate test. I have a lot of computers standing here around, and remembered that on one of them was have already Archlinux installation. I was right, when I booted, the system check said me, that the system was 253 days not checked anymore. I got so excited that I forgot to check was it one of my 0.7.2 Gimmick or 0.8 Voodoo installations.

And for your tread question.
How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?
one hour

After reboot the system loads all new applications with out any problem. Later I replaced the intel-video driver "xf86-video-i810 1.7.4-6" with the driver xf86-video-intel 2.2.0-2. No problems at all.

definitely. By contrast, here's a regular upgrade on my debian box -- out of the blue it's having some problem with one of the packages, and it's turning into a regular recursive nightmare.

It's so "delicate" and temperamental compared to the no-nonsense, straightforward approach of Arch. If one little thing is off, the entire system has a hissy-fit and won't do anything until you hunt the internet high and low searching for a solution, encountering all the debian hawks along the way who are ready to rip your head off at the first suggestion that debian isn't directly from god and could have a problem. Imo, Arch is the best linx distro hands down. Nothing else even comes close.

So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher ...

I have a 160GB Gen 5 that I bought when first released back in the day when they were $400. Through a number of changes, the most recent being the advent of the Convert Higher Bitrate Songs to 128bit AAC feature, I decided to look at what more music I could store. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bit of a disaster with cover art not being properly applied to the music being played. I decided to *restore the ipod* based on suggestions in the discussion boards, and equally important was following the hints and tips here.
http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
The advice is especially important in very large library situations to ensure you have uniqueness in the albums you want to display. Hadn't really given it much thought until I had the ability to see the individual albums for the 40K songs on the iPod via the cover art view.
Finally the point of the post...
*So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher Bitrate option now available in iTunes 9.1?* The specs on my computer are not highend by any stretch, but it's no slouch, and neither of the CPUs are ever pegged. At this point I've lost count of how much time it's taken, but the load is going on 3-4 days. With some breaks in between because I need to check each incremental load to verify there is no cover art corruption, correct bad tags and such, but for the most part the loading is visibly slow, and I'm sure the conversion is the cause. I'm not really complaining at this point, but there is clearly room for improvement. And of course unless there is a redo involved in which case I will get quite cranky.
*I would like to hear the experiences of others.*
Finally to lend a bit more credence to the performance concern, my 32GB iPhone 3GS for only about say 28GB of music takes about 24 hrs to load from a 2.2GHz dual core intel laptop, again using the convert higher bitrate option.

With AC power adapter it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge. With the USB charger it takes 9-0 hours for a full charge. I am not happy with them removing the AC charger and other accessoreis at all. It's business but it still stinks.
I know I would rethink my purchase but would most likely end up buying the Micro anyway

How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
Thanks.

We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !
