Installing Software Update has been running for over an hour, anyone else have the same issue?

Hopefully it's been resolved by now - I have no idea how large each one of those files are. The progress bar tells you; FWIW, I only download one at a time - makes it easier and faster and you can choose to do the next one when you have time.

  • Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? If so, how? And how can I stop automatic updates? This current update has been running for over 4 hours now. I have a MacBook Pro w/OSX 10.9.1

    Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? Also, how can I turn OFF  automatic updates?

    as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
    If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates".  But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates".  If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.

  • I have been using Firefox for many years now and really like it, now the version 4 is extremely slow, anyone else having the same issue?

    I upgraded to version 4 last week and find it extremely slow compared to the previous version - like so slow that some pages do not even load. I have downloaded and gone back to version 3.6.17 and everything is back to the normal I have known for years with Firefox and it is really fast again...so now I know that there is nothing wrong with my computer and that the supposedly very very fast version 4 is much much slower than the previous version 3.6...so what gives? I'm not keen on going back to the new improved version 4, though I know it will not be supported soon...anyone else having the same issue?

    Having the exact same problem here.
    -Mac OSX
    -3.6 worked great
    -I tried the 4 beta, got rid of it because it was so slow
    -When it upgraded to 4 is VERY slow and freezes often
    -Appears especially slow on sites with flash (ie http://www.bbc.co.uk/news)

  • IOS update has been downloading for over 24 hours

    I started the update for my IOS yesterday and it hasn't completed.  It has been stuck at about 75% for almost 24 hours now.  Will this eventually complete?

    Hello gamamark,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    This article should help you resolve your issues with the iOS update.

  • Mac. MobileMe-to-iCloud. Upgrading Mail Database process seems to be hung - has been running for over 1 hour - progress bar stuck at about 20%.

    Am wondering whether to 'Force Quit' and restart, or to let it keep running. Noticed that Activity Monitor is reporting very use of CPU (98% to 100%) of an activity named as "AddressBookSourceSync". Am not sure if that's related to this issue. Any suggestions? Thanks....

    did you ever resolve this?  I have the same problem.  Now it is March 2012, your question was in October of 2011.

  • TS4006 My iPhone 4s has been busy for over 26 hours now..

    How much longer will/can it take for the wipe to completeMy
    I remote wiped my phone because the iOS6 upgrade had failed 3 times, not expecting it to take this long.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try resetting it while it is connected to power: Hold down the home and sleep button, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons. It is connected to a wall charger?

  • I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

    Shouldn't. Which update. Provide specifics on how and from where. If this is a new machine, it should already be running 10.8.4, ainxw that shipped one and a half months ago.

    Managed to get my ipod restored to factory settings (yay!) However then it was being recognised in windows but not in itunes.......to solve this I referred back to Apples excellent troubleshooting guide. Installed the lastest version of itunes.....and there we go! We have a working ipod! I am so delighted and no longer on the verge of tears! (I so thought I had completely banjaxed my brand new ipod!)

  • After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

    I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

    It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
