Mavericks has been downloading for 4 hours, is that normal?

Depends on your internet connection speed - I've heard of fast and slower. It is a huge file: about 5 GB; with my connection it takes at least 2.5 hours. What is your connection speed?
Edit: based on your second post, you are downloading Mountain Lion update (shown at the bottom) and are trying to download Mavericks at the same time? Can't download two OS versions at the same time. So, wait until you have the Mountain Lion updated and installed and then try Mavericks again.

The iOS 8.0.2 has been downloading for an hour on my iPad, is that normal?

Yes. Your product list shows that you're currently running iOS 7.1.2, and whenever you make a major update, i.e. iOS 7 to 8, it's a large file which can take a while to download.

Try shutting off by holding down the home and power button at the same time. Once turned back on you can try downloading again. Be sure you have at least 50% of battery life before starting.

My ipad will not turn on/charge, itunes will not recognize ipad, has been charging for hours power and sleep button did not work

My ipad will not turn on/charge. has been charging for hours. Itunes will not recognize it and i have tried the power/sleep button as well. PLEASE HELP!

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it hasn't been, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

How do you stop a book from downloading in iBooks. It has been downloading for 2 days

How do I stop a book from downloading in iBooks It has been downloading for 2 days

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

HT4718 am trying to install OS X Lion for the first time. So far it has been downloading for about 2 hours. How long should it take?

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.

Lion has been downloading for over 3 hours. When will it end?

I have been downloading Lion since 3 hours ago. Does it ever end? How can I check for progress. Don't like not being able to see the progress. :-(

Kit_cat,
Since you're still downloading, you have the opportunity BEFORE you run the installer to capture and save the installer file. So, don't start the install until after you grab the InstallESD.dmg file and burn it to DVD. This way you always have the ability to install without re-downloading.
Here are the steps to get the InstallESD.dmg file.
Let the download finish.
Open Finder, navigate to Applications and you should see the OS X Lion Installation App.
Right click on the OS X Lion Installation App and select 'Show Package Contents'.
Copy the InstallESD.DMG to your desktop.
Launch Disk Utility and click the Burn button
Select the InstallESD.dmg file from your desktop as the image to burn. Insert a blank DVD and wait for the DVD to burn.
After you burn the DVD, you can continue with installing Lion.

What information can I use to find out which software has been downloaded for my company?

Hello Adobe forums! I hope this is the right spot to put these questions.
This is the situation:
I work for a very small printing outfit in a very small town in the middle of nowhere, Canada.
Everybody that worked for the company that was involved with adobe in the past has now moved on, except people that can't help with this issue.
I have managed to slueth some information from some people here but nothing concrete.
Anyways, so far that I know that this company subscribed to some sort of Adobe subscription service that enabled them to upgrade as need be for an annual fee. At least this is what i've been told.
We have both a PC and a Mac version of Adobe Design Premium CS3, working on their respective computers. The reason I need to know whats going on is that the PC with CS3 is about to go kaput - So I've got a new PC. Now I need to transfer the design suite from one computer to another. I know I can have active two installations of the design suite per purchase, but I also know I can deactivate one activation and reactive it again elsewhere. Thats the option I want to pursue.
I have no idea what usernames were used to download these products, no idea which people in the company's history were responsible for acquiring these suites. I have a list of names and emails, and also I do beleive the company credit card has remained the same for many years, and so I have that as well.
I also still have the working and legitimate copies of Design Premium CS3. I do not have serial numbers for these programs because I dont have access to the emails that purchased them. I did however yesterday register the photoshop CS3 to the current email address I use now for adobe.com (although I haven't seen anything reflected in my account just yet - I understand it takes 24-48 hours for that to show up) So that I believe should at least be one step towards proving to adobe I exist and that my design suite is genuine.
So basically I'm looking for two things. One, I need to find out which account we used to acquire the software (With email addresses and a CC# should will I be able to find this?) and two, I need the serial number and a link to download CS3 Design Premium, which I'd imagine is dependant on the first objective.
(An interesting side note: in the Adobe folder on the dying PC there is an unistalled zip file containing CS4 Design Premium. I know the PC wont support CS4, so maybe thats why its not installed. Interesting that it is on there - is there any way i can tell if it was downloaded from a subscription service by jsut looking at the .7s zip file?)
Thanks for any help anyone can provide! Any further info I can give I will glady hand out, cheers!

Two thoughts:
(1)     It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
(2)     You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
Good luck.

Lion has been downloading for almost two days on my new imac..

Hello,
I just bought an Imac a week ago and I was told I could download Lion for free...I have been downloading it for almost two days straight and it still isn't done...the bar has been advancing slowly, but now its nearly done and stuck! Should I restart and risk two more days of downloading?
Thank you!

Wow, that's a long time, you can try to pause it by going to the purchased tab and clicking pause in the App store. Then resume later.http://www.techmazine.com/2011/07/mac-os-x-lion-pauisng-and-resuming-374.html
