Why is it taking so long to update to 3.0?

Whenever I try to update to 3.0 it always takes up to 4 hours. Is there something wrong with it or my computer?

Seems to me it's close to 280 MB in size. That can take a while. Then, the actual installation and backup can take well over an hour in addition (depending on the size of your touch).

Why is itunes taking so long to update 11.1.4?

Why is itunes taking so long updating the latest version of itunes 11.1.4 ?

I have this same exact issue, however only with music. It happens when files are added in anyway: dragged, automatically added, opened from safari.
I have Mountain Lion, a new MacBook Pro with Retina, and iTunes Match turned on. I have a feeling iTunes is trying to match/upload the songs first. I've just added 10 songs, iTunes said they were copied over but they don't show up in my library but I can see the cloud icon "working".
EDIT: That's not the reason, the songs finally showed up but they are still waiting to be matched.

Why is Itunes taking so long to update Ipad Moives

Itunes is taking a long LONG time to update a simple 300 Mgb TV show from my Windows 7 Ultimate PC to my IPad? Both have the latest updates. It used to be easy and take a very short time.
Is Apple intentially making it hard to work with Windows in hopes of moving me to Apple products only?
This is very frustrating. I can't even make my Apple TV sync with my Windows computer on the same network.

Why is it taking so long to update an app?? Keeps saying waiting...

My son is trying to update an app on his iPad 2 and it's taking forever! Same thing happens when trying to download a new app. It keeps saying waiting. We've tried restarting but still the same.

A) The app is large.
B) Your Internet connection is slow.
C) Some combination of A & B.

WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO UPDATE?!

I started updating 2 hours ago and it said at first that it'll take about 2 hours to update but then the estimations keep changing! It said 8 hours, then 5, then 10 AND NOW 12! I deleted all my pics and nothings happening, I assumed that that would make it faster.
UGH!

Try again tomorrow. All Apple servers are undergoing a huge number of hits. I think tomorrow or even the next day, all upgrade and activation servers will be in better shape.

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.

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.

If your iPhone 4 IOS version 5.x, you can directly update through the phone.
Put the iPhone on Wall charger and make sure your Wi-Fi is connected.
Settings > General > Software Update >
If you have have IOS before 5.0 then you need to update through computer iTunes with your iPhone connected and selected.
If you're using MS Windows, disable anti-virus or similar programs before you update.

Why is it taking so long to back up on my external hard drive?

I have a WD 1TB 3.0 USB external hard drive & im transfering 200GB of data.
Why is it taking so long to back up all my data onto my exernal hard drive using time machine?
I turn it on every day for about 12 hours to backup.
I think it will take about 4-5 days to complete, is this normal?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

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.
