Should it take over 1 hour to load an update OS

Should it take over 1 hour to load an update OS on an iPad mini?

A lot can depend on your bandwidth, internet speed, etc. It can also depend on which update you are installing? Are you doing this OTA, or via iTunes. If OTA, then installation also includes expanding the download to the files needed to install. Installation via iTunes can normally not take quite as long since it isn't necessary to expand the files.

Should it take 3 hours to load leopard?

Should it take 3 hours to load leopard?

You might want to start over. Erase and Install 10.5. Then update to 10.5.1. Then Parallels (You need the latest version (3.something I believe) to run on 10.5. If you have installed an earlier version, that might explain part of your problem.) After that you can install Vista.

When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

I just upgraded my apple TV and now when I rent a movie on iTunes, instead of it playing instantly, it takes 60 hours to load. Anyone else have this problem?

Apple Support, I have just purchased 3 movies 2 from my account and 1 from my wifes account and both systems are stating that it will take 2 days to download. I have a FIOS 150 megabit per second up and 150 megabit per second down busiuness class fiber service to my location. I have tested downloading 10Gbyte files from two other locations and both work fine. I additionally went out and have tested doing speed tests (http://www.speedtest.net/) from over 10 other locations all over the US and all are over 75 magabits per second download speeds with a few hitting 100 and 125 megabit per second speeds. What is wrong with your servers or your internet connection????
This is VERY FUSTRATING!!!
I have additionally tried to download them with my Apple TV and two different PCs all wired on Gigabit Ethernet with jumbo frames enabled. I have tried differnet DNS servers also. I can upload and download files to my office 50G in less than 1 hour. I have also download movies from 2 other movie sites without any problems.

HT1551 When i tried to purchase a movie, My Apple TV said it would take 11 hours to load. Any ideas about what to do or what is going on with that?

It always has a very high number at the beginning, but it never takes that long....
However, it can take several hours....I've found this to be true on any device or computer I've downloaded movies or tv shows on - Mac, PC, iPad, Kindle Fire....you name it.
However, even if it does take a long time, that does not prevent you from starting to watch it as soon as it has done a little downloading. Here is the Apple link for typical download times:

Do I need to download the software to restore my iphone every time I restore one and should it take 3 hours?

Do I need to download the software to restore my iphone every time I restore one and should it take 3 hours?
I have an iphone 3G and an iphone 3GS and apple prompts me to download the software for each every time I use the restore function, this takes an (itunes) estimated 3 hours.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's correct - I misunderstood your question - I thought you meant you were downloading mutliple times for the same phone.
Apple provides separate files for each iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad model - with iOS and iCloud, this will improve since you'll only have to download the updates, not the complete file

Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV?

Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV? We are connected to Wifi with a good signal, but nothing seems to work well. We can play music for awhile, but then it just drops us. Tried apple support, not available 'til tomorrow. Purchased yesterday.
Actually we watched the movie yesterday, and now it has to load again. It's on the ipad and plays, no problem. Want to watch it on the tv. Any Thoughts?
Ready to take it back.

Apple TV has no accessible storage, it will need to load each time. The time it takes is dependent on your network.
What is your current connection via speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
The signal/network test on the device won't give a proper indication if there is a network issue. You will need to try ethernet to help rule that out, and it will also help to get a network report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar. It will show signal strength and noise as well as nearby networks)

Why did it take 12 hours to load iOS 6.0.1?

Yes, 12 hours, on a computer that otherwise has a very fast internet connection. And when I connected my iPad this morning and was invited to download iOS 6 for that, I was told it was going to take 7 hours. Knowing as I do that the estimates given by Apple are always ludicrously optimistic I bailed out and will soldier on with iOS 5 rather than have the iPad tied up for at least half a day.
This is not just an iOS 6 issue. The same thing has happened with every software update I've downloaded. I've been a loyal Mac user for 20 years but my faith is regularly being shaken these days to the point where I can actually contemplate jumping ship to Android.
Incidentally, when I was asked to name a category for this post there was no option to choose iOS simply as software. Why, when every desktop software release is listed, is iOS 5 or iOS 6 not listed except in relation to other apps/packages? Sometimes I despair.

i feel your frustration, but in truth at least the updates are less often than Microsofts. i hate it when i need some info my machine is running like the hard drive is made of syrup, then wants to restart. last time i had over 50 updates and took over an hour to sort itself out ;(.
Not sure why you have this problem so regularly, only to sayApple servers will be far more busy when pumping these updates out, given the enormous user base, all i can say is both my ip4s and my ipad2 took Around 15 minutes each to instal 6.01, but may have downloaded it in the background overnight.
you say you have a fast connection but have actually you run 'speedtest' to see if your getting near for what you pay for? i'm on BTInfinity allegedly 'superfast' broadband, i pay for 40 megs but feel lucky to get 20 megs.

Apple TV (Gen 2&3) takes several hours to load a movie from the iTunes Library

I know this had been discussed before, but a went through all posts that I could find and never found a solution. I will list below everything I have tried and if anyone else has ANY ideas I would be extremely greatful to hear them! To reiterate the issue any time I try to play a movie from MY iTunes library it takes several hours before it will even start playing. Now, to what I have already tried...
1. I cycled my router first and after that didn't work I completely took it back to default settings. My router is an Apple Airport Extreme
2. I completely uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled it with full library, and then I also tried with just one movie in my library that I know used to work. My home computer is a Windows 7 PC.
3. I restarted my Apple TV, and also bought a Gen. 3 Apple TV and tried it new out of the box.
4. I have tried to stream on both WiFi and hooked up to an Ethernet Cable.
5. I have tried with all firewalls turned off on the PC and router.
6. I have ended home sharing on all devices and restarted home sharing on just the Apple TV and PC.
7. I have turned off all devices using WiFi in the home.
That is all I can think of off hand so if you have any other ideas please do not hesitate to chime in so I can try something else. Do know that my Apple TV used to not have any issues and worked great since I irst purchased the Gen. 1 Apple TV.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. I just purchased the Apple TV software 5.0. Apple TV is working other than downloading movies. I have been trying to download one movie for the past two days. I have a wireless network, using AT&T DSL. I have tested the connection using the test option in the Settings area of the Apple TV, which passes.
I have also tried rebooting my Apple Tv and turned off all other wireless options. I am able to download Netflix movies using the PS3 without a problem, why not on my Apple TV. I hope I didn't just purchase this device to stream music and photos.
I hope someone has a solution to this problem.
By the way I just upgraded my modem and router (Airport Extreme).
Thanks for the help!!!!

Why should it take over an hour to export a video that is less than 2 minutes long?

The short clip I have is only 1;51 long, but Media Encoder has been slaving away at it for over 20 minutes and still says over an hour remaining. The only thing I am doing differently with this clip is I have sped up the action x10 to give it a "Keystone Kops" effect. (The duration of the raw video totals about 17 minutes.) I've also added about three titles and an MP3 sound file. Tried to export first to F4V, then gave up and am now trying export to plain AVI, but it is taking forever!
Dell T3400 dual core 3.2 gHz. Two 1T hard drives in a RAID stripe 0 configuration. 4g ram. Running Windows 7 Release Candidate (which I LOVE!).
The clips are from my JVC Everio GZ-HM200BU HD camera set at lowest picture quality (for longer recording).
Any ideas?

OK, well... where to start...
First, as to Windows 7, I appreciate your admonishment, but I have had no problems yet that I attribute to the OS. The main reason I switched to W7 is not for bonus points, but because Explorer will natively show thumbnails of the AVCHD files from my cameras. Vista would not do that. I am sure you'd agree that this is an important and very helpful feature. No other add-in program for Vista have I found would do that for me. It may be out there, but we haven't crossed paths yet.
Secondly, I have had no other problem encoding video before this particular one. Most of the videos I produce are for our company website (http://www.topographic.com) to be viewed as a FLV or F4V file, and there have been no problems with that. I did create a video that was over 1-1/2 hours long that was written to DVD, but that took, without surprise, over 4 hours to complete, including the transcoding and DVD writing in Encore. (This one that was giving me problems is only 1-1/2 minutes in length, and is not being written to a DVD.)
This particular video I tried first in F4V, but when it seemed to be drawing out so long, I canceled and restarted it as an AVI. And that one went on for well over an hour before it finished. The main thing that is different from this video, as I explained in my original post, is that the raw video was 17 minutes long, sped up by PPro x10 for fast action (you can see it here: http://www.topographic.com/video/booth_setup.html - I am the guy in the dark blue shirt).
As a comparison, I exported another video that is not yet completed, just as a test. That video is 44 seconds long and it took only 5 minutes to encode. All things being equal, this video would have taken at least 30 minutes to encode if conditions were the same as the video I was having trouble with. I have to believe that the problem would be the compressed timeline for speeding up the action.
As further comparison, I created a test video with the raw clips for the troublesome video and exported it to an AVI file. It was a 17-minute video which took 31 minutes to encode. This seems to be consistent with my previous test.
In all other aspects I have had no serious problems with my videos and PPro CS4. A few little niggling problems here and there, but mostly due to my inexperience with the system (as my previous postings seem to adequately bear out).
As for my being an engineer: make that former engineer. I am now an IT and communications guy. But you can see what kind of stuff I designed by looking here: http://www.geocities.com/wanorman2000/gallery.htm.
Thanks for all your help!

Should it take 7+ hours to export my 2 minute video?

I converted footage from my flip cam to apple ProRes 422 in Quicktime 7. I did some quick edits, threw a few fllters on there & made a minute & a half video. Iopted for the simple share feature to export the movie for youtube. It’s been transcoding for 7+ hours. Should it really take this long? Or should I try exporting it some other way?

No, it shoudln't take that long.
Yes, try something else.
Exactly what you're doing wrong is difficult to tell from the post but the most liekly cause is FCP is going back tot eh original media, doing a frame-by-frame conversion, and then rendering and then attempting to transcode to the YT target.
Export a self-contained movie, use Compressor to arrive at the YT specs or bring your movie back into an empty sequence, share to YT from that.

Itunes takes an hour to load in windows 7

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows Vista. When I did this iTunes stopped working. I uninstalled and installed it several times and it wouldn't open. I found suggestions about deletng some system files and it helped. Now it opens, but only after I let it load for an hour. After opening iTunes it looks like it isn't loading. If you look at the Task Manager, you can see that it is running - just not up on the screen. If I let it sit for an hour it will finally appear on the screen. Any suggestions?

It starts up slowly for me as well but it doesn't take that much time to load. Have you tried defragging your drives?

Should it take SEVEN hours??

Just wondering, should my 64Gb Wi-Fi iPad take around 7 hours to charge?? This seems to be a ridiculous amount of time to charge, is it normal?? If it's not what should I do?
P.S. I am charging it through a dock plugged into a 27" iMac (latest iMac)

The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. *When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.* Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Does your iPad not charge when connected to your Mac when your iPad is in sleep mode?

HT1595 It takes literally hours to load a move and I have good wireless signal...what's up with that?

It is taking literally hours for movies to load on Apple TV using both NETFLIX and iTunes. I have a strong wifi signal and according to the connection test, all is well. What's up with that?

Wifi signal and connection test don't really give a good indication of where things are at
Check speedtest.net to see actual connection speed, needs at least 6mbps consistently for instant HD stream
Check istumbler.net or netstumbler to verify interference
Male sure you are on the ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)
