I started latest update but it says it will take 9 hours! is that normal?

I just started to download new ios 4.3.3. but it says it will take 9 hours! is that normal? I can't possibly leave my phone and computer downloading all night!

No, not normal in any sense of the word(unless your connection is that slow). Could be the servers are getting overloaded as you and everyone else in the world try to download this update. Try again later, like tomorrow.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

My ipad is updating to I0S7 and says it will take 67 hours to download! Is this normal?

My ipad 2 is updating to IOS7 and says it will take 67 hours to download!
What can speed the process up? Thanks for any answers!

Are you updating via iTUnes or 'over the air' wirelessly?
If via iTunes, the update is around a gig, so if you have slow internet, it could be taking that long.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Foxfire wants me to update but it says it will disable some of my kesperski anti virus software

I get a message that there is a newer version of firefox but when I go to install it there is a message saying it will interfere with my Kesperski anti virus software. may as well go back to IE if there are security issues with firefox and those updates conflict with a-v stuff. I have updated Kesperski but it still does not work.

hello, this message is only referring to the extensions that kaspersky adds to the browser (which offer some sort of additional functionality). however this won't affect the anti-virus protection of kaspersky at all - it will work as usual. therefore it's best to update firefox as soon as possible...

HT1657 rented Zero Dark Thirty. Didn't start watching it, but it says we only have 23 hours left. We clicked on it intially but when it asked if we wanted to watch we clicked cancel.

Rented movie through Itunes. Didnt start watching it but did click on it because we had download problems. When it asked f we wanted to watch we said no. Yet it still says we have 23 hours left to watch.

Hey kalani06,

IMac 20" was running very slow (could not even scroll without the spinning beach ball of death), The computer was operating on OSX 10.5. After a lot of attempts of diagnostic attempts, have resorted to an erase and reinstall. says it will take 60 hours!

Working on my friends iMac 20" computer. It is 2.66 ghz, and was running 4mb of ram when the computer started acting up on OSX 10.5.
When I was called over the computer was so slow that I could not even scroll without getting the beach ball of death. I checked the activities moniter, and found an HP application was taking up 46% of the CPU. We attempted to go in and uninstall all of the HP applications, but the computer ended up freezing. Ended up doing a hard shut down, and decided to run disk utilities. Repaired both Permissions, and Disk. Restarted... no difference. Thought of restoring the computer to when it was working fine via Time machine in disk utility mode... failed. Finally resorted to deleting the hard drive, reinstalling Tiger, and upgrading.
After what seemed like forever for the hard drive to erease, attempted to reinstall. Ended up taking almost an hour to verify the disk, and then announced, that it would take 58+ hours to install. After leaving it for 3 hours, the number was going up, and was not installing.
I then thought the problem would be the 2nd party ram. We replaced the paired 2mb's to give 4mb's with the origional paired 1mb's providing now 2 mb's. Attempted to reinstall osx. Same problem 60+ hours after 3 hours of letting it sit.
What to do now? Is it the logic board? Could it be a faulty hard drive? Should I attempt in firewire more from another computer? Do a 7 pass erase over the hard drive? Run Disk warrior?
If anyone could give some info on why this is so blessedly slow that would be great thanks!

Decided to try and chek out the hard drive more extensively. SMART, states that it is verified. After running Diskwarrior and repairing all of the disk and the permissions, and running a hardware test, everything seemed to be running fine.
Went back to disk utilities, checked disk and permissions again, verified. SMART states it is verified.
Attemping now to install Mac OSX 10.4.7 from the original install disk. I am currently attemting the basic install, no programs, nothing. It has been over an hour, It is 44% of installing the base system Part 1, announcing 5 hours and 53 minutes.
When I did erase the hard drive yes I selected to write over zeros once. I then erased a second time from Diskwarrior.

I have been given a iphone and have gone to settings/general/reset and it says it will take a hour but its been more than 3 now so can anyone advise me on what/how and why

I have been given a iphone and was told to restore setting so have done and its been hours and I need help

Press and Hold the Power and Home button until the phone shuts off and the Apple logo appears. Then see if you can get to the proper settings to reset the phone.
If that doesnt help Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

I have rented a movie on Apple TV but it won't play. Say it will take 69 hours to be ready! Network tested fine and lowest resolution set. Help?!

How do I contact Apple about this ?

You must have a slower connection if it took 2.5 hours, did you pause it or exit out to the main screen? I've paused movies many times and it resumes..it could be due to the connection as well so what is your actual speed? Check www.speedtest.net Wifi or ethernet? Have you changed the DNS settings?

Leopard install says it will take 24+ hours... how can I speed things up?

I encountered some issues with my previous installation of Leopard, so I decided to format, and re-install it.
I start the installation using "Erase and Install" and after the disk verifies, I start the installation. Only problem is, the installation's giving me an estimated time remaining of 26 hours.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
That first estimate can be very erroneous. It should quickly settle down to a more reasonable number.
