Why are my pictures taking so long to download

I just got a replacement iPhone and my pictures are taking forever to download on the new iPhone. I'm worried I won't get all of my pictures. What can I do??

That is ironic, but apparently Apple server is "locked" for restore process for three days. During that time it may say it is restoring even past the actual restore time. I have seen where someone successfully stopped that process, by changing apple id password, and where that didn't help to stop process. But 3 days from restore start, that should time out.
Credit goes to Randers, he is the one who gave that info about three days, but I was also able to verify that myself.

Not sure what you are downloading, but it isn't a 4MB music file within 2 seconds.
Even if you could get a true 56K speed (which does not exist) for dial-up, each 4MB file would take you 10 minutes to download.
Most 56K modems are limited to around 40-50K at their fastest.
Your times for the 11 songs seems about right.
-- 11 songs @ an average of 3 minutes in length & 1MB/min = 33 MB total to download
-- 33MB @ 56K = 1h23m
-- 33MB @ 34K = 2h17m
You are probably getting between 30K and 42K of real download speed from the modem.

Why is the game taking so long to download

when i purchased deus ex: human revolution from the mac app store it kept saying error occured and then it started to download and now it is taking too long to download the finishing time says 6-8 hours i have tried restarting the download but it is still taking too long what should i do?

How much RAM do you have?
You might want to build it out to the max.
Macs are not gaming consoles, as such are not maximized for such use. They are computers, not gaming consoles, that is not to say they can't play games. Just understand that they will generate more heat and if you are using a game that is using a high number of CPU/GPU cycles, you may have to use an additional cooling apparatus.
All the best

Why are my contacts taking so long to sync to icloud from my imac

I have allowed my iMac to remain on and Contacts remains "actively" syncing to iCloud, but the number of contacts is still far apart on iCloud (2037) Contacts on iMac 3848). This has been going on for several days.
Plus the speed of the iMac has dramatically slowed and it appears to go into sleep mode after a very short period of time.

Depends on the speed & type of internet service you have which you never mentioned.

Why is iOS7 taking so long to download on my iPhone 5?

I started the download shortly after 1:00PM this afternoon when the iOS 7 download became available and it is now 8:30PM. It has gone from saying there were 27 hours remaining, to 12, to 34, and now it is saying there are about 47 hours remaining. I am not sure why my phone is taking so long to update when just about everyone I know that has started the download has iOS 7 running on their phones already. Is there anything I can do to speed up the update? Please help!

Could be something with your internet connection. Other than that, with everyone trying to download ios7 at the same time can cause delays.

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.
