I keep getting the message that my computer is associated with another apple id. I have already removed the device from the other apple id but I still get the message. How long does it take to update?
I am trying to download a tv show that I purchased and I get the message that my laptop is already associated with another apple id. I knew it was my wifes id so I went into her account and removed the association. I still get this message even though there is no other apple id associated with the laptop now.
That's not how it works. Once a device (including a computer) is associated with an Apple ID it cannot be switched for 90 days. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420.

How long does it take to update the iPhone 4?
How long does it take to update the iPhone 4?
Interesting question, beachn! If I understand correctly, you're trying to see how long it will take to update the software/operating system of an iPhone 4. If that's the case, the during of a software update will depend greatly on the speed of your computer and/or your phone. I've seen the process vary from 4 minutes to an hour. If I did not understand correctly, please describe what you mean by update. Thanks!

With regard to what? I assume that since the link connected to your question was from the "How to update your iDevice" kb article, you are talking about seeing this behavior after you updated the iPad.
So, if that's the case, it really shouldn't take but a minute or so, if it even takes that long. If this has been going on for minutes and minutes, the update process is stuck now. You can try restarting the iPad and see if the iPad behaves normally. That might be all that you need to do to set things right again. If restarting just takes you back to this page loading again, you can try rebooting the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

How long does it take to update latest Mountain Lion OS?
I have just updated my OS to the latest version of Mountain Lion. It is 10.8.5 now. however when it restarted, it stopped at the gray Apple logo screen and now the beach ball has been spinning for a long time. Is this normal? How long should I expect? And if not, any solutions to repair this OS?
Thanks
MNo, it's not normal, and may indicate the presence of incompatible software or hardware.
Read and follow all the instructions in the following: Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well. -
How long does it take to update the Ipod to version 1.2 software?
My Ipod has now been updating to software revision 1.2 for over 20 minutes, is this normal? Since there is no option to cancel the update on Itunes, my only option apeears to be disconnecting the USB. What risk does this pose to the IPod?
Thanks.I have been having the same problem. As soon as it begins the update, my ipod is no longer visible in Itunes and it is taking forever.

How long does it take to update icloud settings after upgrading to iOS7?
Since I have updated my ipad2 to iOS7 it has been at the "Updating iCloud settings". 3 hours have elapsed now without any indication on progress being made. Also if I do not touch my ipad every 15 minutes it will turn off. By the looks of it turning off undoes all progress being made.
How can I use my ipad again?
How can I have my ipad finish "Updating to iCloud settings".Try a reset ...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
How long does it take to update to 4.3.3 including backing up?
my phone has crashed on me so ive tried to update the software to 4.3.3 but it seems to be taking ages to back up :S my itunes is still working but it constntly says its backing up, been about 15mins now, is this normal?
I had the same problem with my ipod touch :S i would leave it backing up for hours and it still wouldnt be halfway backed up. I found that deleting a lot of apps that i had speeded up the update very quickly it only took about 30mins !! If you are able to delete mainly the high space apps that might help speed up the process otherwise you might just have to take your phone to an apple shop !! good luck !!

How long does it take to update Apple Tv. Its been more then two hours and its only in step 1 of 2?
Assuming your credit card info is accurate the entire transaction should just take a few seconds.
You don't need to download a new version of QuickTime Player 7 Pro. All you need is the email confirmation of your name and registration number. Enter that into your existing version of Player 7 and the pro features are "unlocked".
