Macbook Pro 15 inch downloads

My new macbook pro 15 inch is taking a long time to complete downloads. from updates to a tv show on itunes.  It says it will take several hours.  I don't know what to do and how to fix it.  I can't download anything because of the time it takes.  Please help!

I don't think this is a MacBook issue, it's most likely a connection issue

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • My MacBook Pro has downloaded my old emails twice into my Outlook folder. Why? How do I stop this from recalling all the old emails?

    My MacBook Pro has downloaded all my previous emails (several months worth) and reloaded them into my Inbox twice! Why is this happening? How do I get it to stop from happening again?
    Thanks!

    Since this is an Outlook question, you should ask over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums.

  • After connecting my iPhone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone, my pages application is now gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back?

    After connecting my iphone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone yesterday, my Pages application is gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back? Its not in my trash or anywhere else.

    The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
    Pages     ver.4.1          265.8MB
    Numbers ver. 2.1          89.5MB
    Keynote ver. 5.1.1        238.1MB
    They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
    Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

    Apparantly there were some compatibility issues with the Sims3 and Lion. I believe there is a Sims3 update available if I'm not mistaken.

  • Hi, after that crash of my MacBook Pro I download again Lightroom 5 with my license serial number removed , but the system say that my number is wrong, but is not. What shall I do???, thanks

    Hi, after that crash of my MacBook Pro I download again Lightroom 5 with my license 1160-4006-5882-6826-4588-7623, but the system say that my number is wrong, but is not. What shall I do???, thanks

    You probably downloaded the Lightroom Creative Cloud version. Your Perpetual License key will not work.
    Uninstall the existing version of Lightroom, this process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files.
    Then download the correct version from the link below, install and enter the license. Every thing should be just fine. (Also by displaying your License Key for all to see anyone can use it to have a free copy of the program)

  • Can MacBook Pro computers download PC software?

    Can a MacBook pro download PC software. I had a distant family member visit with his MacBook pro and download windows 7. Can they also download Microsoft Word and PC games?

    Sure, you can download anything you like with a MacBook. However, you might not be able to run it, if it is a windows program - you will need to have windows loaded as an operating system on your MacBook running under bootcamp.

  • I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt  work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen,  so I want to remove this

    I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt  work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen,  so I want to remove this download sign. How can I get this done? Please help me.

    Many apps are not completely removed if the .app file is trashed (which is what I believe you've done so far).
    If you don't want to dig through the system to manually remove library files, I recommend the use of AppCleaner, which does the job for you.

  • Whenever i try to update my macbook pro, it downloads then says I need to restart my computer. I restart the computer, and everything just freezes. When my computer eventually turns back on, its not updated. other apps i try to download dont download also

    First, do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    When you complete the above re-download your OS X upgrade (not sure which one that is, but I assume Mavericks.) After the download is completed re-install it. Hopefully, this time it will do what you expect.

  • My Macbook pro 2014 downloading speed is slow

    Hello guys, I need help! I am new to Macbook, I was checking the internet speed on speedtest.net and my download speed was 11mbps. when I tried to download a movie it's  actually 33-100kbps. I don't know if the movie website is slow or my macbook is slow. Any suggestions?
    My macbook is 13' with retina display 2014

    Sounds as if the servers on the movie site are simply overloaded. It happens.

  • How do I reset macbook pro with downloaded OSX lion

    Hi everyone,
    I own a Macbook Pro 2.3GHz core I5.
    I have just downloaded OSX lion from the app store but I would like to completely reset my macbook.
    I have the installation CD's but I was wondering if I could redownload OSX lion without having to pay for it again.
    Also, I have a time machine backup of my computer but I would only like to restore certain files and not all of them.
    Can Anyone help me with these questions.
    Thanks,
    ps: Is there a way to reset my macbook using the downloaded OSX lion without having the install it again later. Thanks again for your help.

    Restart it... and hold down command+R
    then choose disk utility and format your disk
    then choose reinstall lion
    and it's back to default.

  • Where can I get the Boot Disk for my macbook pro? Downloading OSX Lion is taking too long

    I got a macbook pro that was owned by someone for a few days before. I tried to restore to factory setting but now downloading OSX Lion is taking forever with my internet connection. Can anyone help me find a boot Disk to speed up the process?

    Apple no longer sells a Lion installation USB flash drive (they did at one time). SO you'll just have to wait for the download to complete. It's best to 'hard-wire' the download - not over wifi but with an Ethernet cable connected directly to your router. That will gain you some speed.
    You could also try taking your MBP to a friend's home where they may have a faster Internet service. My download speed is 22+Mbps with my cable company - you may have a friend or neighbor who has something similar? Of course, you are always at the mercy of Apple's servers - sometimes they're just overloaded and a download that should take 20 minutes can take up to an hour and one-half.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • I have a MacBook Pro and downloaded new operating system Maverick

  • 2013 haswel macbook pro problem downloading

    my new i7 haswell macbook pro 13' has problem with WIFI and downloading. Does anybody experience strange downloads?
    for example updating iphoto took 2 hours, size of the file was blinking from 700mb to 60mb every second and when it crashes I must start over. Same applies to any file being downloaded fromt he internet.

    I have the same late 2013 retina laptop.
    Same issues - battery level dropping 1% every minute after upgrading to Yosemite from Mavericks.
    I don't use the Calendar however I noticed three services were all using more CPU than any others; Calendar Agent, AddressBookSourceSync and Openvpn-service.
    My solution:
    1. Turn off all calendar syncing by going to System Preferences > Internet Accounts and un-ticking Calendar (I use Google Calendar anyhow).
    2. Top menu Finder > Go > Go to Folder ''~/Library/Calendars" and delete all the files in there- yer, I'm ruthless like that!
    3. Top menu Finder > Go > Go to Folder "~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook" and deleted everything in there too.
    4. Restarted calendar so it resets itself.
    5. Reboot.
    Result is that my three hogs have all been silenced - AddressBookSourceSync seemed to be using Openvpn-service was stuck and I guess the same for the calendar.
    Battery life is back to 7 hours+ where it should be and the laptop is no longer on fire.  I hope this helps someone
