On average how long should a download and install of Illustrator take?

Just curious.  It's taken about 1 hours, and Illustrator is still at 2% on the install.  Do you think this is because my account information was hacked?  Is someone stealing all of my computer processor's cycles? Or is it because Adobe has their heads...I think I need a beer.  Arrogant Bastards Ale anyone?

Speed has nothing to do with Adobe's subscription model.because all the software is downloaded on to your machine ONCE FIRST TIME and you can continue using it without any Internet connection (~~that is why there are cracks available to use CC products!!!!!!!!!!!).  The only time Internet is required is when you want to download the security updates and also when you have to activate your product every three months.
Adobe tried to outwit the pirates but it seems they have failed very miserably And these dunce MVPs failed to tell you that you don't require Internet to use Creative Cloud products.  You just need to be creative to use Creative Products.  No pun intended.

  • Should I download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash to use with Lion?  My need for Flash is very basic: Google Maps, YouTube, and content on certain websites.  Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

    Thanks for the speedy reply.  I have read so many comments about Flash being incompatible with Lion I was wondering whether to download it or not.  So many sites on the Web still require flash, however, you almost don't have a choice but to download it even if it is incompatible.  I gather a better version of Flash will be available for Lion soon.  Again, thanks for the help.  I will download the latest version of Flash.

  • How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

    How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

    There is no trial version for Acrobat XI Standard. What Leonard suggested would work for Pro however.
    If you purchased Acrobat via a download from Adobe, you can re-download by going to the "My Orders" page on Adobe's web site (https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html). You would also find you serial number there. If this does not work, you can download the software from here: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - if you've registered your software, you can lookup your serial number here: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader

  • How long should the download for Maverick take?

    I am updating to Mavericks and the download is going on for quite a while.  Since there is no progress bar (only the button which says "Downloading"), I am not sure if anything is happening.  How long should I wait?
    Thanks

    It's almost 6 GB, and the download speed depends on your broadband connection. If you open LaunchPad, or look in the Applications folder for the installer, there will be a progress bar you can watch to see the status of the download.

  • HT204655 how long should the update and subsequent uploading take (to start)?

    I am trying to upload my photos to photo (icloud) from my old macbook pro (2010) and it has been over 24 hours since i started and it is still showing 'updating...'?
    How long should this take? I have tried the usual - restart photo; restart mac; turn off and on icloud upload.
    the file is about 9000 iphone photos and 100 short videos.
    Thanks for any help.

    How long is a piece of string?
    Essentially it should not take too long (in my experience 20 minutes max from start to finish) although there are many, many factors that can affect the time taken to download and install the upgrade. Namely the reliability of your broadband connection, reliability of your router/firewall; reliability of the wireless connection (assuming you connect to your router wirelessly); downstream bandwidth supplied to your location by your ISP; the 'health' of your iMac; how much disk space for example? This is not an exhaustive list by any means.
    If it's any help I would try the wired connection (ethernet) rather than wireless, I would log into your router's interface and double-check it's maintaining a good connection - if necessary reboot the router and try the upgrade again. Try and make sure there's only you using it at the time you do the upgrade.

  • How long should setting time and dates take?

    I have hooked up my apple tv, and it is still "setting time and date" after 2 hours.
    How long should it take?

    You have a network problme.  ATV is not able to connect to the internet, so it is not able to set it's date and time.

    Impossible to answer. Depends on things like the quality of the connection you have, congestion on the network, load on the server.

  • How to prevent automatic download and install of Reader 8.1.2

    Hi-
    I have Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and I need to keep it as my default Adobe reader program and plug-in for some applications that I use.
    Over the last week, Adobe reader 8.1.2 downloads automatically and installs itself in my business laptop (Win XP SP2) and replaces my 7.0.9 version.
    Each time I uninstall the 8.1.2 and reinstall the 7.0.9. I ensure the option of automatic download and install is disabled in 7.0.9.
    But it still happens I have for the xth time today the new 8.1.2 in my laptop.
    Anybody knows what is going on ? And how can I solve this issue to keep my 7.0.9 version ?
    Thanks.

    This nonsense is happening right now on my iPhone.  2.3GB deleted, now iOS 8 is downloading without my consent.
    That's *not* a good thing to hear.
    After the download finishes, do NOT press the Install Now button. Try the following to remove the download from the device. Here's the procedure I came up with last time this happened with iOS 7...It may or may not work.
    Re: Apple Forced iOS7 update on my iPad2 !
    Afterwards if you succeed, block Apple's update server using the following method so it wont get pushed to the device again:
    In your router's settings, set up a block (using Access Restrictions or similar in the router's web interface) to mesu.apple.com. This will prevent the devices from "phoning home" to Apple, checking for the update and getting the download pushed to it again.
    Or follow the instructions at this link:

  • HT1175 How long should I expect my Time Capsule to take to back up my MacBook Pro for the first time?

    Since I purchased my Time Capsule, I have not been able to back up my mac. The backup process begins but it says it will take 2 days. 2 days later it is frozen and it never finishes. I gave up

    This will obviously depend on how much it has to back up - and the first always takes longer.
    I have just posted that my TC reported it would take over 3 million days!  I have had similar problems with 2 days and then no finish
    Are you using a flash drive in your MBP?

    I don't know how to determine how fast it is. 
    There are several internet sites you can access to test both your upload and download speeds. Among them are:
    Speedtest.net
    Speakeasy.net
    WhatIsMyIP.ccom
    Be aware that there can and likely will be wide variations in the tested speed depending on the location of the server running your test, time of day, etc. The results should be taken with a grain of salt and treat variations of less than 10% as inconsequential.

  • How long should itunes download take on new computer with windows 7 64 bit ie8?

    I bought a new computer and need to sync my iphone with it.  I'm getting a msg that it has 17+ hrs left to download itunes......seems too long and wonder what I'm doing wrong. thx.

    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • How do I find, download, and install an older version of the Netflix app?

    I was using the Netflix app when it froze up trying to start playing an episode of a TV show. Rebooting my iPhone 5 didn't unfreeze it, so I deleted the app. When I went into the App Store to download it again, it said I had to update to iOS 7.0 or higher in order to download the Netflix app. In the past, the App Store has given me the option to download an older version of the app and this has always fixed any problems I have had with it. Next, I tried logging into iTunes on my laptop (I'm working in Windows, in case that makes a difference) to see if it would give me the option to download an older version of the Netflix app there, but that didn't work either. Finally, I called Netflix's customer support help desk line, but they told me they have no app link to send me and no control over which old editions Apple chooses to offer in the App Store, and that my best bet was to go ask you fine folks if you have any possible solutions.
    (The reason I can't simply upgrade from my current setting of iOS 6.1.4 is that when Apple released iOS 7.0, even with adjustments to the color contrast, the reduced motion feature enabled, and sunglasses on, using my iPhone 5 for more than 5 minutes at a time gave me projectile-vomit-inducing migraines that lasted 24 hours each time. I'm disabled so I use my iPhone for pretty much everything, though I would say about 95% of my usage time is watching movies and TV shows on apps like Netflix for entertainment -- distraction is a huge part of my pain control plan, because so few medications help me -- because it's more convenient than using my laptop in bed, both in terms of distance to available power outlets and in terms of how I'm able to position my disabled body most comfortably. So I'm not just being a stupid stubborn girl here, I just couldn't make iOS 7.0 work for my disabled body and I don't currently have the financial resources to trade my iPhone 5 in and go buy an Android smartphone that does work for me...though I'm increasingly suspicious that this may be my only option.)
    I tried downloading older Netflix apps compatible with iOS 6.1.4 in various public forums online as one of my friends recommended, but when I moved the old Netflix app into my iTunes Library, it kept asking me for the password of the original iTunes account that downloaded the app in order to access it and sync it to my iPhone 5. And I haven't been lucky, no one has been using their username or "password" as the password. I have yet to find a download link offer the username/password combo in the details for new downloaders, so if any of you have an old version of the Netflix app that's compatible with iOS 6.1.4 and want to share your username/password combo with me (after which you should change your password for safety, obviously), I couldn't possibly be more grateful.

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.
