My e mail is taking forever to download.

My e mail is taking forever to download. It comes through fine on my i phone via the same wireless router. It is showing the amount of e mails being downloaded, I know there are no large files in there. Its as if something is blocking or slowing down the download. The rest of the computer works fine, as does outgoing mail. Any clues anyone?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke? Has it EVER been dropped? Did it EVER get excessively wet? Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, 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 and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever to download my photos. It being going for four days. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever for my photos to download. It's been going for 4 days. It's downloaded 1400 out of 1900 photos. Am I doing something wrong?

I think you may not using the right technical terms. When backing up to icloud, there is no way you'd get a message saying things will be wiped. This message may be displayed when you are performing a RESTORE from a backup and then trying to cancel it.
If you are doing a restore, then you can reboot and restore again.

Why is my mail app taking forever to push Icloud emails?

For the last two days, is taking a long time for the mail app to download emails from icloud...
When I check on icloud.com online the emails is already there, but when I look at my mail.app that little circle keeps moving like is loading forever...
I'm using for incoming server imap.mail.me.com, 993, ssl, and for outcoming smtp.mail.me.com default port, ssl
What could be wrong?

ChinaPanda we'll get you up and running! To clarify, do you have the Galaxy S4 or the Mini? What type of email account do you have? Are you having trouble with other data activities such as browsing the web?

Why is the Windows Support Software taking forever to download in boot camp 4.0?

Hi, everybody! First time in the forums.
I've surfed though hours of content to try and find an answer to my problem. Whenever I try to download the Windows Support Software from Boot Camp 4.0 it gets to about 20% and just lays there. Forever. I've just left it there for hours and nothing. I have a Macbook pro 13" and am using osx 10.7.4. This is my first Macbook and I'm not really familiar with a lot of the great features.
If anyone has gotten around this then please help me out! Thanks in advance!

Only you can decide. I'll wait till the 10.8.1 or 10.8.2 version comes out, thank you very much... What I meant is that huge number of ML downloaders (@ 4.5GB a pop, which is what the installer file takes up) surely must be eating serious bandwith off Apple's servers.
Tech Support will roll their eyes and suggest yet more patience!

Why is GarageBand taking forever to download?

Hey so I bought a new macbook pro (13 inch) online off of ebay. It is a 2012 edition(md101/lla). It didn't come with GarageBand all that so I had to go to the App Store and click on Purchases and install it from there. Now here's the problem. I opened it and got a window saying I don't have a complete installation of GarageBand and thus they have to bring things up-to-date and download the missing pieces. According to the progress bar, it says it will take 29 more hours although idk if I can depend on it cause at one point it will say about 26 hours ,then at another point it will say about 30 hours...
Why is this taking so long? Is this normal? Do I have to really wait this long? Is there anything I can do to speed this up? Btw i'm running on 10.8.2 if that helps.

Probably because it is the largest download you have ever attempted. The Mavericks download is something like 5.4 gigabytes. It takes a while to complete.

Apple Configurator 1.2 - Taking forever to download iOS 6 software

So I just downloaded this update and I'm attempting to use it to sync up 22 iPads that I use in my classroom. Prior to getting this update, when iPads were plugged in, I was getting an error that said "Can't install app." Now that the update is installed, I've plugged in my iPads in an attempt to load apps, however, they now all say "Downloading iOS software." They have said this for the better part of the past hour and don't seem to be progressing at all. All of the iPads already had iOS 6 installed from the update released a few weeks ago. Should it be taking as long as it is with seemingly no progress?
Thanks

I called Support and they were able to resolve the issue. In my situation, I was escalated to a level 2 engineer who determined there was an issue with the .ipsw file. The symptom was an empty directory at /Users/USER/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator,
How we solved this was
1. open the iPad with iTunes
2. Select "Restore" under Version on the Summary tab
3. Closed iTunes
4. Open configurator
5. Navigate to settings
6. Select "Other" for Settings
7. Navigate to the .ipsw created by the restore in steps 2 (located in /Users/USER/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
8. Prepare device
After these steps, I am now able to use the configurator. I did this on a single iPad, so I don't know if you have to do this for every iPad or only one. You will have to experiment.
NOTE: I was told there maybe a number of different issues that cause the same symptom, so performing these steps may not resolve your issue. I recommend you contact Support.

My iPad is taking forever to download anything since I got the new iOS7. How do I fix this?

It's taking at least an hour to download any app or tv episode. It never used to take this long until it recently updated my iPad. I'm using the exact same internet connection I did before. What can I do to speed up my downloads? I'm getting very frustrated. This is on my IPad2

HT1766 I did a restore and now my pictures are taking forever to download. Its been stuck on the same number for 2 days now. What should I do?

I had problems with my internet connection and I had called sprint. I was told I had to erase all contacts and settings. I backed it up on iTunes now when I went to restore, first I didnt get half of my apps back (had to go re-download them) and now It shows downloading 43 of 816 photos whenever I go to camera roll. Its been on the numer 43 for 2 days now ?? What should I do or is there anything I can do!

I would let it finish if it's proceeding. Then if they still aren't there, try restoring from backup again (by right-clicking on the name of your phone on the left panel of iTunes and selecting Restore from Backup, then choosing your most recent backup to restore from). Suggest you go to iTunes preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent iTunes from automatically syncing when you connect your phone and overwriting the backup you are trying to restore to.

OS X 10.6.4 Update taking FOREVER to download

Just got a brand new Macbook a few days ago, running OS X 10.6.3. When I run software update and try to download the 10.6.4 update, it will literally take days to download. I tried going directly to the Apple Support downloads with the same results. This is infuriating! Anyone experience this or have any clue what's going on?

This sounds like an Internet connection speed issue, not a permissions or damaged OS one. Software Update will attempt to download the smallest version of the OS update possible, but it is still likely to be 500 MB or more for 10.6.4. The combo OS updates are the largest, so if the issue is with your connection speed, trying to download one will only make things worse.
However, Software Update will also try to download any other applicable updates for your Mac, for example for iTunes, unless you tell it not to. Thus, you might try clicking the 'show updates' button in Software Update & deselecting any others. You can install them later, after 10.6.4 is installed.
For Internet download speed issues, check your network settings & make sure you are using appropriate ones to connect to the Internet & to any router or access point provided by your ISP or that you have provided & configured yourself. You can also use any of several online speed tests to check your download bandwidth. To find them, search the web with Google or another search engine using the phrase, "Internet speed test."

Why is it taking forever to download my .zip file from "DPS App Builder?

I have created my first single edition app with App Builder, but when I go to download the .ipa or .zip file I end up on a screen that says "Downloading The_Insider .zip, this popup will disappear once complete. It has been on that screen for three hours. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, that's a normal size. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to download that file. I would close App Builder, re-open it, and then try again. If that doesn't work, uninstall/reinstall App Builder and build a new app.

My e mail is taking forever to download.
