HT5612 How long should the download take to go from Snow Leopard to the newest version of Mountain Lion?  I started the download 2 hours ago and it's still running.

I have ac OS X version 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  I bought the upgrade to Mountain Lion and started the download 2 hours ago.  It is still downloading.  What should I do?  Is this typical?

I don't know how to determine how fast it is. 
There are several internet sites you can access to test both your upload and download speeds. Among them are:
Speedtest.net
Speakeasy.net
WhatIsMyIP.ccom
Be aware that there can and likely will be wide variations in the tested speed depending on the location of the server running your test, time of day, etc. The results should be taken with a grain of salt and treat variations of less than 10% as inconsequential.

    How long should the iCloud back up take? I only have 4gb of storage but it has taken almost an hour already with approximately 2 hours remaining. 

    Hi RMaskery14,
    If you are concerned about the time your iCloud backup is taking, you may find the following article helpful:
    My backup is taking a long time to finish.
    Backing up and restoring takes time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your network, you may need more time than expected to complete the process. Using a reliable connection when backing up your device is highly recommended.

  • HT4796 how long should the migration take

    how long should the PC to Mac migration take

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It depends on the amount of files you are transferring and the method you are using to transfer your files (Wi-Fi or Ethernet). Both methods are slow and migration would take hours if you need to transfer a lot of files.
    I only recommend you to use Windows Migration Assistant if you need to transfer a small amount of files. If not, it is much better to copy your files to an external drive and transfer them to your Mac

  • 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. 

  • 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?

    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.

    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

  • 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.

  • TA44686 how long should the disconnect message display

    I connected my ipod to my computer and the do not disconnect message doesn't go away. How long should the message show

    Mine took about an hour or so but it mostly depends on your modem and processor speeds. You can check the progress by clicking your iphone on the left and then checking the download progress. As long as that is moving I would just leave it and wait but don't let your computer shut down.

  • 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.

  • HT4796 How long should the migration process last?

    I am trying to do a migration from my PC to my new Mac.  How long should this process take?  Mine has been running for at least six hours now and still has not completed.  Is this normal?

  • How long should the Mac Book pro hold its charge???

    How long should the Mac Book pro hold a  battery charge??

    For a single use or how long will the battery last until it needs to be replaced?  For single use, it depends on what you are doing when using you mac.  I find that when using mine I get about 6-6 1/2 hours just using it to browse the internet before I need to recharge it.  If it is one of the newer Macbook Pros that claim to have a 7 hour battery life, It can last up to 5 years.  See this article on notebook batteries to get the most out of your battery: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html.  Hope this helps

  • How long does it normally take to convert from PDF to Excel files?

    How long does it normally take to convert from a PDF to Excel files?

    Sara-
    I did see your response.  Thanks.  The other thing that happened was after I enabled Adobe on my Dell it apparently knocked out my Mozilla.  Now I can't get internet connection unless I use Internet Explorer which I would prefer not to.  I'm going to visit our IT folks tomorrow and see if I can get some of this resolved.
    The PDF files I obtained that I am trying to transfer to Excel may be too complex because there is a great deal of extraneous text information in the basic document that lies outside of the tables I want to transfer.  I'm going to try and highlight the tables only and see if this works.
    Thanks for taking the time answering.
    Best,
    Henry

    That message is usually due to a bad cable.
