HT5460 My 10.8 update installation is taking a lot of time. About an hour already. Is it normal and if it is not, what do i do?

I started to update my mountain lion today but it seems it is stuck at the last bit. I can see nothing else, so can't fiddle and do something myself.
Any help will be appreciated. Do i need to restart or shall i continue waiting? How much time does it normally take? Do i need to update RAM or something? I already have a 16GB RAM.
Model : Macbook Pro
Year : 2009

If I remember correctly, it took over an hour to 1+45 on our 2 computers, so I'd wait for awhile longer. It shouldn't be a RAM problem.

    Hey Andrew keriakous,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone may be in recovery-mode. To resolve this issue, see the following:

    In my case tools was 8.52 and so i did not have to run any relscripts?
    Does this mean we skip entirely from 7-1-1 to 7-1-12?
    What about the PPLTLS84CUR and PPLTLSCURDEL project?Dont we have to copy both of them and alter PPLTLS84CUR?
    I have already copied PPLTLS84CUR followed by CURDEL and then altered PPLTLS84CUR?Will it have done any harm to the installation?All this is not required. If your db is running on PT8.52, skip the task 7-1 and go directly to 7-2. Do not copy and build projects.
    If I was you, I would restart from scratch with a new db.

  • After the latest iOS update (8.1.2) my battery drains in 4-5 hours, on standby (5S 16gb) - and I'm not the only one

    Hello,
    Since the latest update, my iPhone 5S's battery life has decreased significantly.
    In the past, I've never ran into any issues. I have my 5S for over an year now.
    Prior to the 8.1.2 update, a full battery lasted for about 24h (usage time >= 4h) to 50-60 hrs (on standby, no usage).
    However, after updating, I can see my battery decrease in an alert mode ( about 2-3 % every 3-4 minutes, even on standby).
    I've tried all the solutions possible, including but not limited to:
    - downgrading to iOS 8.1.1 (I managed to do it, because Apple is still signing the IPSW files). - didn't work, no improvement
    - restoring and updating again to 8.1.2 , starting from scratch (I've backed up all my stuff first, restored, updated, set iphone as 'new' , didn't put my data back on) - didn't work, no improvement
    I've also chatted with the tech support today and they diagnosed my device, saying:
    Quoting support operator:
    "Good news, it seems that everything for the hardware side —WiFi, Cellular, and Battery is looking beautiful! That is awesome! Some of the software though does seem to be affecting some things I do see. So, we have found out what the cause is. Next step is getting it taken care of so it doesn’t continue. I want to make sure you don’t have to keep worrying about your battery life."
    The only fix they offered was restoring and updating to the latest version, 8.1.2 , again. I've told them I've already tried it, but I thought to give it another try. Unsuccessful again, battery still draining quickly.
    I've discussed with another operator about 7 hours later, describing my problem and also told them other users experience this issue too:
    Iphone iOS 8.1.2 battery drain remains
    No iOS 8 Battery Drain Problems Until iOS 8.1.2
    These are only two topics I've found on apple support forums, but many others are experiencing this too.
    The technical support employee told me that Apple didn't yet discover this bug and if they do (on a large scale) they will issue an update, or a fix.
    That's why I ask you all who have this issue to come and post here, to let Apple know we want our devices to work normally again.
    I can't use my iphone if, it drains 100% of battery in 5-6 hours without abnormal usage time!! I also don't think it's healthy for the battery to recharge it 2-3 times a day.
    Something needs to be done. I regret every day my decision to update to this version of iOS . I will never update again prior to reading other users' experince on the update.
    Please, Apple, do something!
    Oh, and by the way, I would go to a service to have this looked into by a specialist, but in my country (and I'm sure there are other countries too) there aren't any Apple services , only shops. And I can't risk taking my phone to a local GSM repair shop, I don't trust them.
    Hoping for the best,

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Generic Extraction : Taking a lot of time

    HI Experts
    I have created ZKONV a generic extracter which is a copy of KONV table. It has around 16,00,000 records .When I´m pulling the data in to ODS it is taking a lot of time. it is taking around 5+ hours to load the data. Is there anything wrong with my Datasource why it is taking so much of time.
    Kindly provide some inputs
    Thanks
    NLN

    Hi Lakshminarayana
    You got to check couple of things.
    First goto the source system and see, how long the extract program is running. The long time may be due to poor source system performance or huge processing at the BW system side. If the job in the source system is running for a long time, then check the source system resource. Build proper index on the mentioned table and see whether it has improved the performance. You can ask the basis people for the SQL trace and they let u know what kindof indexes u can build on the tables.
    If the processing is taking more time, then u have to imrpove the start/update routine in the BW side. Please let us know, where exactly u have the problem. Then we can think of resolving it.

    Thanks.

    I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and  download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.

  • Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen that connect to itunes. so when i connect my iphone to iTunes, it says"itunes has detected

    Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen saying the iphone need to connect to itunes. So when i connect my iphone to iTunes, the computer says"itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes"
    So my question is if I click OK(restore the iphone),will i lose all my data and whatsapp??
    Thank you for your help and time.
    Regards,
    hopeless

    If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

  • Simple select query is taking a lot of time

    hi gems...
    my table has 7267563 rows...and i am doing a simple select * from table;
    but it is taking a lot of time nearly 25minutes but not completed...
    when i did select count(1) from table then it gave the result instantly also select * from table where rownum < 10 is also fine...even when i am selecting all the records using rownum i.e. select * from table where rownum < 7267563 is also giving result instantly...
    but the entire table is not getting result i.e. select * from table...also there is no lock in the table(though i know that select is nothing to do with lock)..
    what may be the issue..please suggest...thanks in advance...

  • Startup taking a LOT of Time

    Hi All,

    The above 2 lines are taking 1.5min each.

    I suggest that you take some thread dumps 10-15 secs apart during the time it's slow. The log timing alone won't tell you where the threads are spending time.

  • Select Command taking a lot of time to execute

    Dear Experts,
    My below SELECT command taking a lot of time to execute.
          SELECT wid
                       matl_desc
                       INTO TABLE open_wid FROM zwb_table
                       WHERE ( weight2 = 0 OR weight2 IS NULL ).
    Table : zwb_table contains around 7 Lacs records. That's why taking a lot of time . I have also Indexed the table zwb_table with field WID & WEIGHT2 . (zwb_table contains only WID as Primary Key Field)
    Structure of Internal Table : open_wid ->
                                             wid LIKE zwb_table-wid,
                                             matl_desc LIKE zwb_table-matl_desc,
    Please suggest me how to Improve the Performance of the above Select command.
    Thanks in Advance
    JACK

    Hi Jack,
    you are having morethan 7lack records in z table. it is not good practice fetching all the records into internal table and restricting with where clause in loop statement.
    I hope you already created secondary index combination of primary key.
    check you select query fetching records based on index you have created in ST05.
    Refer below link for your program is using index that you have created.

  • Can we optimize the query  :  It is taking a lot of time

    the following query is taking a lot of time ...
    Can anyone suggest to make it run faster ???
    table B has 12 million records
    table a has 10000 records
    CREATE TABLE less_time
         PARALLEL
         NOLOGGING
         AS
         SELECT a.user_id,a.mp_id, COUNT(product_id) product _count
         FROM table a,table b
         WHERE TRUNC(a.call_time) < TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 1
         AND a.history_id = b.call_id
         AND b.product_type = 1
         AND b..product_status= 50
         AND user_id IS NOT NULL
         GROUP BY user_id,mp_id;

    analyze index indx_mtx compute statistics
    thanks for explaining David ...
    Actually I somewhat bettered it
    i made a consolidated index on table b
    like create index indx_ty on table b (call_id,mp_id,user_id,b.product_type,product_status)
    now the explain plan shows that the query is much much faster also i did one trick in the query
    SELECT a.user_id,a.mp_id, COUNT(product_id) product _count
    i changed to SELECT a.user_id,a.mp_id, COUNT(1) product _count
    to enable it to do FFS
    thanks anyways ....
