I purchased os x lion and it is taking a long time to download whats up
I purchased os x lion and it is taking forever to download ?
How big is "rather large" to you?? If you don't like non-specifity by others, don't do the same yourself.
If Apple listed the filesize of the download or something meaningful, we could all determine how long is reasonable for our internet connections, which we know despite the lack of capabilities from Apple in helping that regard as well!

OSX Mountain Lion taking a long time to download
I already purchased Mountain Lion and it downloaded fine on my iMac. Now I'm trying to downlad it on my Mac Book Pro and it won't download. It says downloading but it's not moving. Anyone else have this problem?
If you have Mountain Lion downloaded in your iMac, you can copy it to an external drive and install 10.8 in your MacBook Pro

I select print and it is taking a long time to print
I have a HP 6500A plus...the printer keeps going off line. Then when it shows on line it takes a long time to print.
How is your computer connected to your printer. Is it networked do you have other networked devices that work ok?

I decided to first "restore" my phone in the itunes store and then i "Erase(d) All Contents and Settings". Its been taking longer then a couple hours and it is not showing the apple logo is is showing the circle loading screen. Is this normal? Please help!
Try a normal reset; just turn your phone off and then on again:

Then connect it to your computer (with iTunes already running) via the USB cable.
Give it a few seconds, then look for your phone's icon in the left-hand column of the iTunes window. Click on it once.
In the right-hand (large) column of the iTunes window, look for RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTING. Click on that and let it happen; it will take a few minutes.
Do not bother with the Erase All command from your iPhone's Settings app - unless you have a significant security concern, it is not necessary to do that. -
Erasing All Contents and Settings is taking a long time showing circle loading logo
So, I was trying to erase my phone (iPhone 4) because I'm suppose to sell it tomorrow since I have an iPhone 5 and no longer need a 4... so I tried the "easiest" way with Erasing All Contests from the phone but it's been 3 hours and the circle is still there.
Now I've read other places where it says what to do, but my problem is the following my power button does not work at all. So I can't press Power and Home because it isn't going to do anything. Should I wait to see if the circle stops? Should I wait to see if the battery dies? is there any way at all to turn it off and try again?iPhone 4 uses hareware encryption and doesn't require overwriting - should take only a few minutes. The fact that yours is going for hours suggests the phone was hacked/jailbroken.

Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked. How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?
Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say: v10.8
If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
FYI .. for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation. -
I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this? I allways found that handy. Now I have to click on an icon on the top, This is a backward step if that is now the only way to see the number of items. Am I missing something obvious?

In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way. -

I have a laptop (2010) with Lion OS and tried to install Mavericks and part way through the installation it quit and reverted back to Lion and the app store doesn't let me download Mavericks again. How can I resolve this?
Is your data backed up?
Are you running any non-Apple system optimization tools? -
back in the days of leopard, the dashboard widgets would come to the foreground but you could still see what you were working on. Now I've updated to mountain lion and the work is no longer visible when I activate dashboard. Can I change that back?
Go to system preferences, mission control, and unselect "Show Dashboard as a Space". While you're there, you may want to make dashboard set to a hot corner "Hot Corners" button at the bottom.

i have done an online payment for the new mac os. and the downloading is taking a long time . why is it so. its been more than half a day.
also my internet was down for a couple of minutes and so does this affect the integrity of the software and would it be corrupted.
if the software is downloaded is corrupt will i be able to retrieve another copy or have i lost my money in thos.My download took about 4 hours on a 6 Mbps connection, and I noticed from the winking router light that it paused from time-to-time. The download was successful. It operated perfectly, probably because I did a clean installation rather than the simpler upgrade.

Netflix, HBO Go, ABC TV along with other apple TV apps, take a very long time to download the video and they are choppy when running. My apple TV runs off of WiFi in my apartment. When trying to download updates, it take a long time and then a video screen with "This Update was not Successful. Apple TV couldn't be downloaded at this time. Try again later." What can I do to resolve this issue? I purchased this apple TV in May 2013 new.
That will be an issue with the network
What is your current connection via speedtest.net?
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general -network)
Since you are in an apartment the local wifi network is more prone to interference, try ethernet -
My Apple TV all of a sudden refuses to show the movies from my MacBook and says it needs to set time network. What is that?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV should set it's time automatically from the network time server, if it isn't doing this try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, if this fails try resetting or restoring it.
