Why is a download update for 1 item increasing "time remaining" and is already over 2 hours?

I am not very adept at this stuff.

"Time remaining" is based on expecatations of internet speed.  This expectation gets "smarter" as there is more data.  So it seems that you must be on a very slow connection, or one that is much slower now than it was when the download started.

  • Why is the download speed for Creative Cloud updates and initial software installation so slow?

    Why is the download process for Adobe Creative Cloud updates and initial installations so slow? I can download and update other software from other providers almost an order of magnitude faster. This slow download problem has been present since I started using Creative Cloud soon after it was initially offered.
    Adobe customer support maintains that there is no throttling at Adobe's end, and that no one has complained about this problem -- this forum shows the latter not to be true.
    What is the problem?

    Hi ErstwhileCreative,
    I don't think I've ever checked the download speed but the installers are definitely large files, many several GB. It might seem longer because the download immediately progresses into the installation at 50%

  • Download updates for the lion and I read the writing could not save any of the selected updates. Why?

    why after Download updates for the lion 10.7 and I read the writing could not save any of the selected updates and I can't upgrade the software ?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

  • Can't get Windows update to download updates for other MS products

    Hi,
    Installed W7 Home Premium on a single system and for one or another reason I cannot get Windows Update to download updates for other Microsoft products. MS Office University 365, MS Visual Studio Pro 2013 and Microsoft Expression are also installed on this
    system.
    I click on Find Out More in the Windows Update page and IE 11 opens. It first goes to http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx?ln=en-au and then redirects to http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5
    Here is a picture of the page:
    As you can see there is no change settings button as described at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/change-windows-update-installation-notification#1TC=windows-7 .There is no way I can change settings so updates for other MS products are also downloaded.
    Firefox is my default browser; even if I load the link in Firefox I get the same result.
    Thanks,
    Imran

    Don't use a web browser to do that. Since Vista, WindowsUpdates are no longer performed in a web browser, it's in Control Panel. (that's why the
    www.update.microsoft.com web page is telling you to check Start Menu")
    The Change Settings button, appears in the Windows Update applet in Control Panel.
    Click "Start", and in the search box, type in: Windows Update. Or, look on Start Menu. Or go to Control Panel/System&Security/WindowsUpdate.

    I have an Iphone 5  6.01.  I have a notice on my app store that I have an update. Tried to update, but it won't.  Connected to Itunes and tried to download update for App.  I can't do that either.  It won't let me update any of the apps.  What is wrong?

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

  • My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

    My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

    Flash has been used for more than just displaying videos. The Vote choice your daughter found is one of those flash type sites that will not display on iOS devices. There are now over 100 million iPads, and who knows how many more iPhones out there. Developers who want their content to display on all these devices will have to move away from the old Flash technology.
    There were some version of Flash that ran on other brands of tablets. But Adobe has stopped all development of Flash for all mobile devices. As time goes on and mobile operating systems evolve the no Apple devices will lose their ability to run Flash too. Web developers need to move on to cleaner, more efficient types of programming.

  • Hi. When I tried to download updates for my Iphone 3G I lost all my music on my iphone and I can't find it anywhere on itunes. Any ideas please?

    I just can't seem to find all the music I bought on itunes since I downloaded updates for my iphone today. I followed the suggestions in the support area, but it's still a mystery where it's gone. Any ideas please?
    Thanks

    I take it you didn't transfer purchases BEFORE you attempted to update your phone?  If that's the case and you live in the US you can look at your purchase history and re-download the purchased music using iTunes. If you're outside the US, you're out of luck.

  • I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

    However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
    What should I do?

    In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
    Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?

  • I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.
