Why does Garmin Express map update take 8 hours? or should it?

My imac is 2 years old, works fine, no problems with Maverics, and I have a comcast cable connection. Do others have this problem with Garmin Express and a NUVI 2460?

Thanks Mike. This may explain part of it (I am doing the whole of North America) but It is now going on 10 hours  and while the download did finish, the installation has 60% still to go!
(By the way, my download speed checks out at 28 Mbps)
Ciao,
Chris

    you could always try turning the phone off and starting the backup over again. If it's still happening, it's possible that it's related to the network you're in

    help!

    This is up to your internet connection. You need to check www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD rentals. Wifi interference can also cause issues so try ethernet and/or check www.istumbler.net
    Make sure you are using your ISP's DNS

    There lies the possible root of the problem. Make sure you keep enough available space for the ipad to update and function properly.

    Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?For example, I have 9,80GD on disk and after looked 2 video on youtube(2-3 min each) it's become 9,60GB. It's 200MB gone!

    If you did not see the dialog box asking if you wanted to delete from the hard drive, I think this may be one of those options where you can say "Don't ask again," meaning until you trash your iTunes prefs, it will cease asking the question.
    you can bring those dialogs back. iTunes > preferences > advanced > reset all dialog warnings

    Apple haven't stopped giving updates to the iPhone 4. The fact that an update has just been released only for the iPhone 5 does not imply this.

    why does my i-pad 2 take ages to shut down

    Could you be more specific on what you mean by "ages"? It should be a matter of seconds... but for that matter, the iPad rarely needs to be shut down. Personally, I only do it when about to board an airplane.

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • Why does exporting a quicktime movie take so long?

    I'm exporting an 88-minute-long HDV movie as a self-contained quicktime without recompressing. The media is all on one ESATA drive and the target disk is a second ESATA drive. It takes five hours and uses >150% of my CPU during the export. It seems to me like it shouldn't take nearly that long, nor should it use so much CPU since basically all it's doing is copying data from one disk to another, right? Any idea why it's taking so long and using so much CPU? Thanks.

    No, wrong. It is creating a completely new GOP structure for your MPEG2 based edit.
    Ah.
    This is one of the drawbacks of working/delivering in HDV ... With that in mind, is there any special reason you are creating an HDV self contained master?
    I'm making it self contained so I can put the whole thing on my MBP's internal hard drive and show it to people without having to carry terabytes of media around. I'm staying in HDV because I started out working in Final Cut Express, which converts everything to AIC, and had very bad results: my media files grew by a factor of three, everything was ridiculously slow, and my machine crashed regularly, particularly during captures, which was unbelievably frustrating because that meant I had to babysit the machine throughout the entire capture process (and often through multiple iterations of the capture process interleaved with machine reboots). In fact, the only reason I started using FCP instead of FCE is so I wouldn't have to transcode.

  • Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

    When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

    Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed.  Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
    Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below.  While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
    If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.
