Why are apps taking so long to download/update in the app store?
Applications i am trying to download or update in the app store on my macbook air (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) take days/weeks to load at least half on average. Why is this happening and how can i speed the downloads/updates up, it's frustrating.
It's probably your internet speed, or something on your computer is impeding the speed. Try to do the updates from safe mode. OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Or download updates from the apple store app on my iMac
my apple store does not work properly can't click on anything or download updates from the apple store app on my iMac or download updates from the apple store app on my iMac . it does not do anything???????can anyone help ??
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Why are my apps taking a long time to update both on my phone and iPad?
Hi ariasm21,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the App Store on your iPhone seems unresponsive or app updates are not completing, try the steps below.
First force close the apps using these steps:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close

Next, restart your device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Try updating an app again. If the issues persist, you may want to troubleshoot your internet connection next:

Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?
Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?
How long is "so long"?
Some product downloads are up to 1.6GB; that can take some time - very much depending on your Internet connection. Check http://www.download-time.com/
For a test, I just downloaded Illustrator CC 2014 (1.6 GB), and the download completed within 13 minutes (and I am 10,000 km away from the Adobe download servers).
Try downloading from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page. -
Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?
Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?
If I am not able to download the new applications, due to an extremely slow connection, does Adobe have other means to help me obtain the software?
Are there any 'other' solutions?Yes, I was able to finally download two out of three of my applications. I waited three hours to get two pieces of software, and I still need to download one more application.
While talking to the customer service department in India, I was told that I could not get help in bypassing my slow Internet connection. Even though I have been a loyal and law abiding customer for thirteen years, Adobe's customer service department treated me like a piece of crap. All I wanted to do is get my applications on cd, so I can bypass the buggy and long downloading periods. I tried desperately to explain: (1) I have been a loyal customer for thirteen years, (2) I bought and committed to a yearly subscription, (3) I have followed Adobe's legal rules since day one, (4) I have no problems with the software's DRM, and (5) I love and support Adobe products.
Regardless about how much I sympathized with Adobe's position, I could not get your customer service department to 'care about me'. I walked away feeling depressed and defeated.
As a result of going through a horrible customer service experience, while also struggling with the change to cloud, I started to think about a change in career. Why do I want to be a graphic and web designer? I spent a crap load of money on an education, so that I can become a slave to the industry's dominate software maker. If it was not for the fact that Adobe's software is the industry's standard, the recent events with your customer service department would have made me walk away.
It sucks that your company has a 90% strangle hold on the industry I love. -

Why is it taking so long to download iCloud onto new phone
Why is it taking so long to download my iCloud onto new phone
What does download iCloud mean? You don't download iCloud. You download the content that is in your iCloud backup to your phone. If you have a great deal of content in the backup, it can take a good bit of time.
Define "so long". That doesn't mean anything to anybody here. It's a relative term and we have no idea how much time "so long" is to you. -

If you're doing the full update it's almost a gig of data, take a bit to download that. It usually comes down to your internet connection.

Why is it taking so long to download film rentals from Itunes ,before it took 20 mins when I have a good internet connection.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
Check your internet speeds just in case > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Try not using other applications that require downloading files while downloading media from iTunes. -
HT4095 why is it taking so long to download tv series
why is it taking so long to download tv series
You can only download as fast as your Internet connection allows you to download. An entire TV series would probably be a pretty large download as well, so it could take a few hours, depending upon your download speed.

Why is it taking so long to download the upgrade from snow leopard v10.6.8 to os X Mavericks?
Because the file is over 5 GBs. If your internet service is slow then it can take a long time - several hours.
