"Extracting this may take a while" for 4 hours

I downloaded the trial and had to download the adobe download assistant and it started downloading my file after it finished. After it finished downloading it said Extracting... This may take a while. Its been saying that for 4 hours now and it only took 30min to download. Is this normal and if not what can i do to fix it?

Check for the Internet connection. If its good, then try the same with a different broswer. Below link would help in this scenario,

Downloading TRIAL CS6... "Extracting...this may take a while.." Is taking too long.

I've used the Adobe Assistant to download the trial version of CS6, Design and Web Premium on my MAC. It has gotten all the way to the point where it says "Extracting...this may take a while...." But it's been almost 24 hours at this point. What should I do? Do I start over? Or is there something I can do to speed up this process. This is ridiculous at this point. Never had problem like this before...

Yes, start over. Use anotehr browser to initiate the download or use this method:

Then extract the files manualyl using winZip or similar tools.

Premiere Pro trial hangs at "Extracting...this may take a while"

I have tried downloading Premiere Pro several times and each time it downloads and it starts to extract. It just sits at the "Extracting...this may take a while screen". I left it up all night and it was still that way the next morning. I looked in take manager and It does NOT say "not responding" so I think the download assistant program is OK. I did go ahead and uninstall it and reinstalled it as well. I am running Win7 64bit.

This is likely happening due to choosing a location to download the install files to that the Adobe Download Assistant does not have sufficient permissions to write too. I would recommend completing solution 1 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_1 to reset the download experience. When reinitiating the download please choose the default location of your User folder to download the install files too.
Alternately you can follow the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

"Letterboxing...This may take a while" - 17hrs and COUNTING???!! Advice

I'm doing a football scouting film and I imported footage from a Canon XL1 and a small Sony HandyCam.
There are appx 70+ clips in the project.
When I clicked on the "EDIT" switch to start editing, I got the "LETTERBOXING. PLEASE WAIT...THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE" message...that was 17hrs ago!
My hard drive is almost FULL and I'm guessing thats why its taking so long. I keep deleting things to make room for this to finish.
1. Why does it even have to letterbox at all?
2. How can I speed up this process?
3. Should I FORCE QUIT and try to start over? (I don't wanna do that)
ANY advice would be much appreciated
thnx

I would suggest force quitting, opening a new file and on the opening window, change the bar at the bottom to say DV widescreen. Thay way it doesn't have to Letterbox

Rikaichan (add-on) doesn't work at my office. It gives this error "Javascript application: the index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers". And then the PC freezes. What should I do?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.17, and have installed Rikaichan 2.02. Once I've installed the Japanese-English dictionary, I then click on Rikaichan to get it started, and it always gives a "Javascript Application" error:
'''"The index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers"'''
Rikaichan always works fine on my laptop, but I just can't seem to install it properly at work. Is there some sort of office security screwing it up?

venicespent,
Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

Inbox says I have 2 messages. I can't see them. What should I do?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

That seems to be OK via WLAN!
It ist better to do the first backup via LAN-cable.

It's been saying "extracting... it may take a while" for 2 days. Is this normal? What should I do?
