Why is GarageBand taking forever to download?

Hey so I bought a new macbook pro (13 inch) online off of ebay. It is a 2012 edition(md101/lla). It didn't come with GarageBand all that so I had to go to the App Store and click on Purchases and install it from there. Now here's the problem. I opened it and got a window saying I don't have a complete installation of GarageBand and thus they have to bring things up-to-date and download the missing pieces. According to the progress bar, it says it will take 29 more hours although idk if I can depend on it cause at one point it will say about 26 hours ,then at another point it will say about 30 hours...
Why is this taking so long? Is this normal? Do I have to really wait this long? Is there anything I can do to speed this up? Btw i'm running on 10.8.2 if that helps.

Probably because it is the largest download you have ever attempted. The Mavericks download is something like 5.4 gigabytes. It takes a while to complete.

IPad is taking DAYS to download apps

iPad taking days (plural--DAYS!) to download apps, though storage is nowhere near full and the apps are simple free games for the kids. Never had any issues with updates or downloads before, and can't find any info about this. Help!

1. Check if there is any stalled download in iTune e.g. Podcast, Music or Movies
2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
3. Make sure you are connected to the internet

New iPad taking 3 days to download tv show and still not downloaded

I purchased 3 tv shows 3 days ago and they still haven't downloaded onto my iPad, they keep stopping. So I have to restart and it's
Really starting to annoy me. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it??

What kind of internet do you have? And are you trying to download via 3 or 4G or wifi?
Your iPad - generally - is only as fast as the internet it's connected to. Also, for example, if you're at a library or such place, they have been known to put data caps on users so that they don't get too many people coming in and downloading gigs and gigs on their network (it's a 'don't download illegal stuff we'll be blamed for' tactic)

Why is it taking 2hours to download a movie. I have 11MB...it should take 2 to 3 minutes. Anyone has an answer to improve the speed?

My apple tv is slow to download a movie. I have 11MB...it should take 2 to 3 minutes if that long. The Movie apps on my blu ray are almost instant. Anyone has an answer to improve the speed?

I have a 50x5 Mbit cable business class modem in my house (doing that give me priority bandwidth over other residences).... The most I EVER get from the iTunes Store is 4-5MBytes/sec (about 35 Mbits)... Usually I get 1-2 MBytes/sec to iTunes or any device
My guesses are
1) Apple just doesn't have the bandwidth during certain times
2) I notice they throttle accounts. If I download an entire hd season, I start out fast, the it slows after a few hrs... Im guessing apple has a max data cap per day then slows you down.

Does anyone know why it is taking hours to download an OS7 upgrade? i have fast FIOS connection and my connectivity is excellent at the moment.

Seems beyond strange. I have tried multiple times over the last 24 hours and am still getting the same horribly poor performance. Please help!

Forget the iPhone for a moment.
Will Sprint unlock any phone purchased from them to be used on another carrier? If the answer is no, why should an iPhone be any different?
That being said, the 4S is a world phone meaning it has GSM and CDMA antennas. The iPhone 4 is not.. it is either CDMA (Sprint/Verizon/Cricket) or GSM (AT&T, any number of European carriers, unlocked).
I have never personally known a CDMA carrier to "unlock" a device they sell to allow it to work on another network. Both Sprint and Verizon will unlock the GSM portion of the 4S for International only use.
That $800+ dollar new phone you purchased still works perfectly fine as an iPod touch once off contract or can be sold to another Sprint user to recoup some of your investment.
In the end, it is a decision you have to make as to whether it is financially worthwhile to you to purchase a new phone every year. If you can afford it financially and determine that it is worthwhile to you, then do so. Otherwise, do like millions of others and wait until you are eligible for the subsidized pricing or enjoy your device for as long as you can until it finally dies or becomes too "slow" to use. My 3GS is still running strong after 3+ years and my partner uses it daily as his primary phone/media player.

Why is it taking forever to download my .zip file from "DPS App Builder?

I have created my first single edition app with App Builder, but when I go to download the .ipa or .zip file I end up on a screen that says "Downloading The_Insider .zip, this popup will disappear once complete. It has been on that screen for three hours. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, that's a normal size. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to download that file. I would close App Builder, re-open it, and then try again. If that doesn't work, uninstall/reinstall App Builder and build a new app.

Why is one film from iTunes Store taking over two days to download?

Hi,
I bought a film from iTunes store two days ago and it is still downloading, loading about 0.1 MB per ten minutes. iTunes is telling me that I have around 80-100 hours until the download is completed, which seems absolutely crazy for a film that is only two hours long. I'm beginning to lose patience and would like to know if anyone knows why it is taking so long for this film to download? And, is there a way to increase the download speed without downloading any untrustworthy files?
Thank you,
IsabellaAMG

Because the people who hold the copyright to a song may be different in each country; everything on the iTunes Store is available with the permission of the copyright holder.

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.

HT1577 Why is it taking over 4 hrs to download "The Best of War" By War?

Why is it taking over 4hrs to download "the Best of War" by War?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
