I've been trying to download IOS5 for more than 2 hours. Do I need to stop and restart the download?

I think I would cancel it. Unplug phone, then plug back in and then maybe only select download instead of download and install. Thats what I did for our phones and so far we have no issues at all with any of the features - new or old. I don't know why that would make a difference though. But it will allow you to unplug your phone once the download starts and go do your thing while its downloading. Then you can come back later and when u plug in iTunes will ask you to install new software for phone.

    It needs Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup, insert the disc and upgrade. Finally, go to  > Software Update and install the most recent version. You'll be able to install that app now.

  • Why is my powerbook G3 has been attempting to log in for more than 30 minutes

    Why is my powerbook g3 not logging in, it has been attempting to do so fore more than 45 minutes. HELP!

    Will it boot from the MacOS X installation disk? If so run the Disk Utility file check to see if any repair is needed.

    You could also try booting into safe mode which runs a file check as well.

  • Downloading mavericks and it's been on the apple logo for more than 2 hours

    I started downloading mavericks and I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and it's been at the apple logo with the greyish white screen with the turning wheel for over 2 hours I'm not sure if that's normal. It would be great if someone who had a familiar problem   I'm thinking about rebooting it if that's a good idea?

    How do I sync this iPhone 4s to his laptop? The phone was stolen last week and everything was deleted. I've been trying for over an hour to get it to sync.

    That"s part of my problem, I dont get that option.
    I get iTunes store and that's about it.
    I've thought about "erasing/resetting" all settings but I'm afraid to do it. Or am I
    missing something in iTunes?
    Help please!

  • Firefox hangs after it has been left open but idle for more than about 30 minutes.

    Any idea what could be causing this or how I fix it. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the software

    Hi,
    As you can see from the theory this alert could mean two things:
    1. Too many powershell scripts are executed on agent simultaneously
    2. There are scripts that takes much time to complete
    First of all, you need to evaluate a script-based module (workflow). You need to find answers to following questions:
    – What is the target for this script-based workflow?
    – How many instances of this target class are exist on the affected computer?
    – Does this script leveraging a cookdown concept?
    – How long it take for script to complete?
    Please go through the articles below for more details:
