Software update taking 4+ hours

I have a Mac (iBook OSX 10.5.8) and connected my storm 9500 to DM and am trying to load in all the software updates. There were quite a few of them. Among them was the 5.0 operating system upgrade. The update process has been going on now for 4.5 hours. When I look at the log, it says this:
2009-11-22 14:54:10.379 INFO default pimSync Saved UI config data model.
over and over again, except there is a different number on each line where the 379 is.
Is this normal? It seems like everyone else on these forums updated in less than an hour.

Just got iPad. When I sync to computer/iTunes to start, it says that software update willtake 11 hours?

just got iPad, why does it say software update takes 11 hours when I try to update on my iTunes?

I just did mine last night and it took about 20 minutes. Either you have a very slow connection or something is interfering, like virus software or a firewall.

Software updates taking a very lonf time to download

I am deploying patch Tuesday software updates and I am seeing the download of updates to the clients taking a very long time (7 hours to download 11 updates).
I have set BITS throttling to 100 Kbps in my Default Client Settings policy but I didn't think a limit that high would cause this behavior.
In my CAS.log I'm seeing the below behaviour where a lot of errors are being logged trying to delete directories and attempts to download the content seem to be at 10-15 minute intervals. Is this expected behaviour?

Why does it takes too much ?

Software update taking to long.

Everytime I have a new software update its taking longer and longer to download. Last one was 25 minutes and It said it was one item. Then everything froze and now everything is running slow. What to do?

Not much you can do since you are constrained by the speed of your internet connection, the load on the remote servers delivering the downloads, and the size of the files you are downloading.
Maybe they are taking longer because they are simply very large files. Since you haven't provided any information relative to the issue there isn't much we can tell you.

Software update taking too long!

Hi,
I recently got myself a Macbook Pro 13" newer version (late 2011 model) running Mac OS X Lion.
Today I got a system update notification for safari, and it asked me to restart the Macbook for system update.
Its been 15 minutes since that update is installing, and after reboot the Macbook is just stuck on "installing 1 item - Running package scripts" in Software Update window.
Mouse is working fine though. Nothing seems frozen - even the progress bar is showing some animation, but it just isnt going ahead!
Any ideas for a Mac noobie?
Much Thanks!

Those CD's that come with the BT HomeHub are a waste of time, they are full of rubbish that you dont need and waste space on the pc. My Hub has been running happily since day one without the software- the settings are changed here http://bthomehub.home the passwords etc are on the back of the Hub and wireless settings card.
If you have Option 2 or 3 Broadband then BT Net Protect is not on the CD, but here:- https://www.securedownload.bt.com/BTGuard/Guard?beanName=OnlineCustomer&block=online&authenticationR...
To get the hub going then you need a pin, push the reset to defaults on the side for about 10 seconds and release, wait for the Hub to boot then it will work as normal.
If your connecting wirelessly then you need the wireless settings card this will tell you what your SSID name is and your passcode- open the wireless networks on your laptop and select device enter passcode- Done!
Hope this helps!

Why is the software update taking so long?

The pop-up box, "Software Update; Downloading Firefox; Connecting to the update server...", has appeared for the past three days, at different times. There is a progress bar within it that is scrolling, repeatedly, not ending.
This pop-up box only has a "Hide" button.
How long must this pop-up box be active?
Once prior today I did click the "Hide" button, but the pop-up box reappeared. Please give me some feed back.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Do a clean (re-)install instead:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

IPhone 4 software update taking over 24 hours

I began updating my phone over the air yesterday, iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1, to the latest software, and to my surprise it is still updating. I basically can't use my phone at all- it has become a brick. The phone constantly turns off and on an "apple" display... not allowing me to restart it, or even turn it on/off.
What should I expect? Is this how it looks when it's updating?
I began doing the update under wifi at home, but eventually took the phone to work later on, expecting it to have already been completed.

Why is my ios7.1 update taking 4 hours

First try at update ended with update failed message. Second attempt is showing 4 or 5 hours remaining on the download. Download is via wifi but that is the only I use the device. I had already updated three other devices with no problems. If it is now an issue with the server, is there any way to stop the download?

First, your battery remaining is a model. Post update that model needs to be rebuilt. Try to use your battery down to about ten percent then charge it up to one hundred. Do this three times.
Next, go into settings battery and see what is using the battery.If you are backing up or restoring from the cloud, your cellular or WiFi radios are being used a good deal. Otherwise you might have an errant program. Do you have the Facebook app? some have reported that being a problem.

Latest Software update has shut down my mac - cant boot it up anymore

can anybody shed any light on this issue - i have just (stupidly) run the latest software update (about an hour ago) and now my macbook pro wont boot past the grey screen, it restarted the 1st time but no softwarew would work- then i restarted and now it wont get past the greay screen with the apple on and spinning wheel- ive tried booting of the install cd (it just spits out the cd)- safe booting, reseting the pram -and am now considering throwing it out of the window as i have deadline and have run out of idea's - it may have got dangerously low on disk space around the update - but it looked like it had at least a gig on it can anyone PLEASE help....

Hi exit23, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately I've read of this happening before, it's usually Disk or OS corruption that leads to it.
And iGB free space is nothing these days, definitely dangerous territory, less the 10 GB is really slowing OSX down to a crawl.
Apparently you don't have a bootable backup!?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
But you'll likely have to clear some space ASAP.
Do you have another Mac and both with Firewire?

Software updates trashed wireless connection

Did the recent software updates about an hour ago on my Powerbook and after restart lost my wireless network connection which worked fine prior to the update. When I go to the System Prefs: Network I can see the network listed under Airport. Under Network Status I get the interesting message that Airport is connected to the network beachnet (my wireless network). It then notes that Airport has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet. (Really??) Beachnet also shows up on the menu bar under Airport as connected. But when I go to safari to connect i get the message that I am not connected to the internet ( before I was automatically routed to a secure login page). Network diagnostics is kind of useless in scoping out the problem.
So here I sit without wireless. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? I guess i'll just have to drag out the ethernet cable and and switch in the mean time. Any advise would be helpful.
Thanks

If it's worth anything to you. A similiar problem happened to me yesterday, when my iBook rebooted after updating the software my wireless had completely been... 'trashed'. I posted a help topic here yesterday about it.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=857301&tstart=30
After connecting my iBook directly to my modem/router via ethernet, and using the network set-up assistant, my airport suddenly just... started working again.
Perhaps it might be worth a try by connecting up via ethernet (which sounds like what you're about to-do anyway).

Still installing software update after12hours and cannot reboot?

Iphone 4s off during software update in recovery mode. Normal?

My iphone4S crashed during the latest software update. I tried rebooting. Now itunes is completing a software update before it can restore. However, my iPhone is off. Nothing on the screen no matter what I press. Is this normal? I am too afraid to unplug it from the computer. The software update needs 3 hours. I briefly had the itunes/usb logo but it went away the minute itunes started the download. Any advice?

Thank you! Thank you! I was about to spend forever on hold for Apple support to help get me out of airplane mode! I forgot I was in airplane mode when I started updating the phone to 2.1.
Thanks so much for saving me a needless call!

My Ipod touch is taking such a long time to do a Software update 7.0.6 I dont know whatt do do! Its been pass 12 hours

I just went to the apple store to replace my Ipod Touch yesterday. There I began the process of restoring my Ipod. When I got home to continue doing it my apps werent downloading, they just read waiting... So I decided to stop the restoring and my apps still did the same thing. I researched and completely stopped all of my apps from downloading and I am just keeping them in my Icloud for now. I was trying to find the thing that was causing for this slowness. I found out that my Ipod is doing a software update of iOS 7.0.6 but its not loading at all. It just says, "Estimating time remaining..." So I think this is the cause? Do I just wait? And for how long? And on the bottom it says Downloading... in gray. PLease help!!

Likely the Apple servers are just busy.
You can try
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
and see what that does.

New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network
