Installing Nano and iTunes with dialup - how long should it take?
I got a nano for Christmas and am just now trying to use it. When I try to download iTunes it says that it will take upwards of 5 hours! I have dialup, living in a rural area, so I know it'll take longer, but can this be right? Also, when I download iTunes, what will happen to the music I have in Windows Media Player? Sorry, but I ma very new to iTunes & Nano!
It depends on a number of things?
1 - the amount of RAM installed.
2 - amount of free space on the boot drive. It's strongly recommended to have a minimum of 20-25 GB free space.
3 - the total playing time of the DVD.
4 - the encoding process selected. Professional Quality is a 2 pass process so will take more time than any of the other options.
5 - CPU speed of your Mac.
6 - if you're using a SL or DL disk.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

About all you can do is wait until it finishes or you get an error message.

After I speak with support, how long should it take for my Apple ID to be reactivate?
Someone used my Apple ID last year to buy over $200 in games. I immediately contacted iTunes support, and they took care of everything beautifully, including disabling my account.
I left it disabled for quite a while, mostly out of forgetfulness. Eventually a couple of my Apps got outdated enough that they stop functioning.
I finally contacted iTunes support again a month ago. I gave them the information they requested, then was told they were "working toward a resolution for the issue", which I assumed would be turning my account back on. However it has been over a month, and my request for an update just got me an e-mail saying "we are unable to enable this account at this time"
Is a month waiting period the usual time? Are they just backed up with these sort of cases? Have they decided I'm not actually who I say I am and if so what is my next step?
Thank you ahead of time.Why was it disabled. Usually you are told, particularly if it was for security reasons.
Best course of action would be to follow the instructions in My Apple ID

My iPhone 5 has been dead for weeks.. I just now found it and plugged it in, how long should it take for it to turn on??
I think that the battery is dead because , if you don't charge it for a long time the battery will ruin. You must wait, with the charger plugged, for a long time to turn it on. it could be also a worse problem and you have to replace your battery

MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?
The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed. -
Guys,
How long should it take for an answer on a question Cisco agree's is a good question and agree to work on it?
I have an RVS-4000 and it sends me error message by email on errors. Yet I do not have any documentation on what these error messages mean. I asked these question last May and still have not received any answers.
I was told it had been forwarded to a engineer for creatation of this documentation in May. Here we are...
Do any of you agree we need this type of documentation on our Routers? I think it should have been created before these where sold and included with these Routers. Maybe if we all voted on it. Then It might still happen?
Please add you reply's to this. As it might help to get things moving...

TS4062 How long should it take to set up my ipad using itunes?
How long should it take to set up my ipad using itunes? Everything went blank on my iPad and I am attempting set it up using itunes. It has been connected for 45 min and gives me a set up incomplete message if I attempt to exit.
I did some check on available sources on the topic and it seems that the app data is often causing a slow backup:
What causes the slow backup?
It’s the Apps! Apps on the iPad might store data to work properly. Some do store a lot, some don’t. For instance a game saves some highscore data (not very much), where a newspaper App or a rss reader might save updated data (can be very much). I believe lots of iPhone users, that experiencing slow backups, have problems with one or many Apps that are leaking in terms of saving tons of tiny files to the iPhone, especially when they have a lot of Apps and when they did backups cross devices (i.e. iPhone 2G to iPhone 3GS).
The article on this website http://apdevblog.com/slow-itunes-sync-backup/ should provide more information and hopefully a fix for your issue! -

How long should it take to download itunes?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The download time depends on the Internet speed, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. If the download doesn't move, press Alt, Command and Esc keys, force close the installer or the App Store and download and install iTunes from the Apple site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1614 -
Can anyone help please?
Lion download to iMac has been running for about 2 hours and is still not halfway yet. How long should it take? should I cancel and start again?1500Kbs is 1.5Mbs. That is Kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so if you divide 1500 (or 1,500,000) by 8 you get 187500 bytes a second. Divide 3.5GBs (3,500,000,000), that capitol B is for Bytes, by that 187500 you get 18666.666 seconds. Which needs to be divided by 60 to get the minutes and then again by 60 to get the hours.
5.1851xxx hours.
I use to have a 3Mbs DSL connection and it took me over 3 hours to download Lion. Now that I have a 19Mbs Cable connection it take about an hour to download and install.
So wait it will happen eventually. If you cancel and start again your are still going to wait 5+ hours. -
how long should it take to rest the settings i have done mine and it is still going after 1 hour it is just on the apple screen
Hey Beck,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve Reset All Settings on your iPhone 4s and now you’re running into an issue where the device only displays an Apple logo on startup. The article linked below provides troubleshooting suggestions that should be able to help you resolve the issue.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Ciao,

HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?
How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps. -
How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB? I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night? Thanks
That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot. -
