TS3991 how long does icloud take to sink? My scrolling Icaon has been up for half an hour

I am loading I cloud on a new windows 8 system. CThe scrolling icon has been loading for over a half hourIs this normal.

I went to Apple Chat and they lead me through a power down and start up with Recovery Disc Utility (Hold down  Apple and R keys when powering up).
Then was instructed to run Disk Recovery and it showed HD was error free. Then a reboot started up fine to desktop and showed update to 10.9.2 had been installed. I am guessing the internet connection my have been interrupted during the install.
Apple Chat folks are awesome and a short wait too.

  • How long does it take to restore firmware.My phone has been in recovery for 3 hours now?

    How long does it take to restore firmware on iphone5.The phone is only 3 week old and has been in recovery mode for nearly 3 hours now?

    - No. That is too long. What does the status bar in iTunes say the iPod is doing?
    - Terminate the sync. Force close iTunes if necessary then reboot the computer. Also reset the iPod. 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.
    - Try again. If still problem come back with what the status bar says when it stopped.

  • How long does iCloud take to install

    I have purchased iCloud and it is now four days since I started to install the software.   iCloud appears to stop installing when my password protections comes on.  I have therefore taken that off until the software is installed. 
    How long should it take to install?  I have over 5686 records to bring matched.  The software appears to have checked 5685 and cannot seem to get beyond that number,  I have stopped the software and restarted it once but I still end up in the same position.
    I also started to transfare some images in to photostream and thought this might have been the problem. However photostream has completed the installation of my images now but iCloud still continues.
    Can I have some advice please.
    Regards

    iTunes Match can initially take a very long time to scan your library. Using other iCloud services such as photo stream will not have an effect on iTunes Match.
    It should eventually move onto the last song and finish the scan, although 3 days is a very long time for it to be stuck. My library is 1590 songs and took around 12 hours to complete. If it continues to be stuck for a day or two I would suggest restarting the scan.

  • How long does it take to delete an old user/administrator from my MacBook Pro?  Hours/Days?

    I just bought a new 2011 MacBook Pro and I want to give my late 2006 MacBook Pro to my niece for college.  It's in near-perfect condition.
    I'm trying to delete all of my user info and files.  I went ahead and created an account for her as an "administrator".  Then, I logged off from my account, logged in as her and then tried to delete my old account under System Settings / Accounts.
    I got as far as to remove the user account and to delete the home folder for my old user account.  Now it says "Deleting account..." under my user name.  It's been this way for about 6 hours.
    I have no way of knowing how long it takes, but does anyone know if it takes hours?  A full day?  With no status bar to indicate the deletion process, I have no way of knowing if my old computer is "stuck" or if it's actually working.  I have yet to try and stop the process for fear of screwing something up.  But if anyone has any idea how long this might take, I'd appreciate it so I can move on and do other things while this computer just "does its thing".
    Thanks!

    Cool.  Thanks for the response back.
    The late 2006 is running on OS X Lion (10.7). 
    As for the "Activity Monitor", where would I find that?  I tried to search for it...but nothing popped up.
    I did, however, "get info" on the hard drive icon and noticed that the available disc space has gotten bigger, which would indicate to me that there have been some program and file deletions during the course of the day.  In fact, when I started the process, there was only about 50Gb of disc space available.  But, it seems like that number has doubled, which indicates to me the disc space is slowly freeing up. 
    Again, it would be nice to some how know how long it would take.  Maybe this "activity monitor" is something I can find and see.

  • Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? If so, how? And how can I stop automatic updates? This current update has been running for over 4 hours now. I have a MacBook Pro w/OSX 10.9.1

    Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? Also, how can I turn OFF  automatic updates?

    as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
    If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates".  But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates".  If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.

  • How long does it take to extract CS6?

    How long does it take to extract CS6? Mine has been extracting for over an hour.

    Did you manage to install? If its Master Collection it may take a while, but I don't think that it would take more than an hour.
    A lot of it depends on your computer, RAM, free space on disc etc so its diffult to say exactly how long it should take.

    Forever! Wait about half an hour, if there's no progress in the download bar, you can restart to jostle it. It should pick up the DL from where it left off.

  • How long does it take to get a credit back for a phone return?

    as the subject states i just sent a phone back and was wondering how long it will take to get my refund.

    I've been waiting for two months, after being scammed into the EDGE program.    At least they told me the phones were accepted in the warehouse 2 months ago, but I've been lied to so much, I won't feel better until I see the return credit(s) for all 4 phones on my account.   I am not happy with VZ at all.  We've been loyal for about 8 years.    SPRINT is talking loud and strong about covering any buyout fees.

  • How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

    I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick.  Drag and drop should be how this works.  So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen).  It appeared to upload just fine.  So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone.  And no document.
    I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient?  Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices?  I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

    It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection.  I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site.  I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
    Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts.  iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

  • How long does it take for your iCloud storage to incase once you have purchased additional space?

    Hi I have just purchased additional iCloud space, how long does it take before I can access this additional storage space?

    Wiki activity has not been showing up on the Activities tab of our Profiles for some time now. This is a known issue that they are working on. I don't know if our staticstics is being updated. You new article looks fine, so it must have published. Your
    profile still shows 16 articles. I will try to check if our statistics are being updated, but it could be the same issue we already know about (no Wiki activities in profiles).
