My software update seems to be stalled saying that there is less than one minute remainig but no progress is being made.
Any suggestions to resolve this problem

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) Then try the update again.

try this
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
if that doesn't work then connect to a computer and try to open the device in itunes

Latest update 7.1.2 stuck with less than one minute remaining

I Couldn't download anymore apps and noticed I needed to update my software to the latest version so thought that this would solve the problem. I started the update at 11pm last night and after waiting 2 hours with it on charge and connected to wifi it still said less than one minute remaining. Searches on internet suggest a hard reboot but will this loose my apps as some I have are no longer available to get? I have backed up photos etc to the cloud so not too worried about those.
any advise please Thanks in advance

If you can't download apps, it's probably because you don't have sufficient storage space. You need to increase your Available space.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

When I sync my iphone it says that there is newer version of the software but when I click the 'update'button I am told that 'itunes' is the latest version?

when I sync my iphone it says that there is newer version of the software but when I click the 'update' button I am told that 'itunes' is the latest version? There seem to be a few apps that are not compatible with my phone and I am wondering if that is because it is not up to date or beacuse it is a 3gs?

Snow Leopard requirements here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
I recommend no less than 2GB's of RAM. There is no download for SL, you must purchase from Apple, $29 at any Apple store. Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. About the only place you can find a retail disk is eBay, however the prices are getting ridiculous.

Yosemite 10.10.3 update stuck on 'less than a minute remaining' for 2 hours encounting?

Yosemite 10.10.3 update stuck on 'less than a minute remaining' for 2 hours encounting?
Anyone else having this?
Shall I just wait or can i force shut down or anything like that?
Thanks.

I ended up having to force quit by holding down the power button after waiting 4 hours to see if it would resolve itself an load.
Wouldn't boot up properly, seemed to be stuck on the new apple logo with loading bar below so forced quit again and tried to restore form a time machine back up by holding cmd+R on restart. It said it was unable to do this so restarted again and it eventually started as normal and I was running 10.10.3 although I wasn't sure if the install was done correctly so did complete a restore from a time machine back up.
I think I will wait for another .1 update or just try again at a later date maybe.
Thanks.

Depending on why it's been disabled, you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

Just tried installing an update to OS. Although the screen tells me that the installation will be completed in less than one minute, that was two hours ago, and the computer won't permit me to shut it down via the power button, as I get an error sound.

Just tried installing an update to OSX Snow Leopard. Prior to trying to update OS, I was running V 10.6.3. During installation, it locked up. Although the screen tells me that the installation will be completed in less than one minute, that was two hours ago, and the computer won't permit me to shut it down via the power button, as I get an error sound. What do I do now? Help!

Hold the power key till it shuts down, it may take a little while, try holding it thru the warning.
Then if it shuts down restart and open Safari/Preferences, General tab, and set "Save Downloaded Files to:"
Select desktop, if desktop is not available in the the drop down menu, click other, then select Desktop from the column from the on the left.
Then download this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
This will download the "stand alone installer"
Click on the installer pkg and follow the prompts.
Hope this helps

HT4796 It says "less than a minute remaining" and has said that for 12 hours now.

It says "less than a minute remaining" and has been stuck on that for over 12 hours. I'm transferring information from my PC to Mac - all was going well for the first 8 hours, then it just hung.

Hold down the power button for a few seconds to force a shutdown, then restart. It will probably be OK.

Migration stalled with "less than a minute remaining"

This issue was discussed back in April, but no definitive solution was found.
I installed Mountain Lion on an older MacBook Pro and all went well until I got to the Setup Assistant after restart. The migration of my files from a Time Machine backup stalled with "less than a minute remaining" while "transferring files to support applications". Apparently this is a known issue that affects older Macs upgrading from Snow Leopard. I have two questions about this:
1. Can anyone suggest a fix or workaround for this problem? In the earlier thread, some people repeated the file transfer several times with exactly the same results. One person evidently had better luck when he started over and deselected everything but Users on the transfer options screen; but it obviously requires alot of extra work on the user's part to reinstall every application.
2. What is the best way to abort the stalled transfer without risk of damaging the data on my Time Machine backup drive? Mountain Lion refused to install on my startup drive until I erased it, so my Time Machine backup is the only copy I have of my data. Since Setup Assistant is not frozen, I can hit command-Q and Setup Assistant offers to shut down; but is the data on my backup drive at risk if I shut down and start over?
Thanks!

Has your Migration Assistant actually crashed? I am restoring my computer from a hard drive failure and the following dialog has been displayed for the last 12 hours. I clicked on the App in the dock to see if it was displaying as crashed, it doesn't appear to be.
I checked the "Get Info" on the Hard Drive Volume, and it is showing a very slow progression of used bytes. I suspect the transfer is still continuing, just very slow as I have so much data. I think it is a matter of quanity of files rather than "file size".
Should be interesting to see in another day or so to see if it completes. :-)

HT4796 I have has message saying less than a minute remaining (for about 20 minutes now...and the mac seems hung, curser wont move etc??

My migration assistant seem to have got hung up...the message says, less than a minute but that was 20 mintes ago.... the mouse wont move either now????

You may not have created a mess, it's possible you simply don't know where your data is after migrating. Had you followed the Setup Assistant's on-screen prompts when you initially turned on your new system you would be running just fine by now. My guess is you haven't been exposed to Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips.
Migration Assistant (MA) and Setup Assistant (SA) are cousins, similar but different. The primary difference is MA creates a new user account which can be confusing to some users. If you successfuly migrated then log out of your existing using account and you should see the new user account. Log into that account then you should see the migrated data. If you do then use Pondini's Transferring files from one User Account to another.
However if you have totally made of mess out of things then I'd start over, this time using the Setup Assistant Tips beginning where he discusses Second Chance.

HT1933 I get emails saying that there is a new show to download, but when I click on download, it doesn't work. How do I fix this?

Long story short. I get emails for my pre-purchased TV shows saying I can download them. I click the button, it downloads into iTunes, and I watch them. Now, this isn't happening. I can purchase and download songs just fine, but when I click on the pre-purchased tv shows, I can't get them to download. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I'm on a macbook air using iTunes 11.0.2 .

It seems that this is a MAJOR issue with MANY end users experiencing the exact same problem - iTunes 10.5.2.11 Crossfade is completely buggy. Apple, get it together, seriously...your QA department should all be fired for this.
Diego, there are numerous threads replicating your problem.
So far, there are a few work arounds:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3408812?start=0&tstart=0
One thing to keep in mind, at least what has worked for me: After you make a change to the crossfade timing, you must close out of iTunes and re-open before the new settings take place.
Crossfade timing = 12 seconds actually equates to about 50 seconds.
Click the slider, then use your arrow key to tick over about 20 times - this should crossfade your songs approximately 6 seconds before ending.
Apply, then close out and re-open iTunes...
Peruse through the link above, there are different approaches. Maybe one will work for you.

For some reason my itunes will not open because it says that I need Quicktime 7.5.5 or later which I have installed. Any suggestions?

I recently had my computer cleared out and for some reason I am getting an error when I try to open my iTunes. It says that I need to install Quicktime 7.5.5 or later which I have installed and I keep getting this error mesage. Any suggestions?
Also I am opporating MacOS 10.5 Do I have to buy the software from the store or can be be downloaded off the apple site? I have heard that you need the actual software from a retailer?

Hi, try this...

I have an Epson NX420 printer/scanner, and I keep getting a message on the scanner, saying that there is a communication error, check the connection. I am not having any luck scanning my pictures into the computer.

I have an Epson Nx 420/printer/scanner, and I keep getting a message that says there is a communication error. Check the connection [W-61}. I have the snow leopard operating system Mac OS X 10.6.8 I want to scan my pictures into iphoto. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thankyou.

Make sure you have updated all of your scanner drivers. Check Software update and check with Epson tech support.
Not sure if the Gutenprint and Gimp-Print for Mac OS X (10.2 and later) drivers deal with scanners. Read the info on their website.
Check Apple's Knowledge Base for Snow Leopard & Lion Printer solutions and suggestions for scanner troubleshooting. Especially if you have an all in one.
