Why Is Lion Recovery Update Taking So Long?

I got the update around 10:15 NYC time, I started it at that time. It is now 11:50pm, and only 88MB of 888 MB have been downloaded. Why is this taking so long??? My MacBook Pro is completely up to date (10.7.1) and I have very fast internet service. This should zip along. It's not. At this rate, won't be done till the morning. Any ideas?
Thanks

Ah so.....just like the trouble I had with iOS 5 earlier. Thanks

Because all those people who said "I'll cleverly wait until the day after the initial release to download" are all piling on today.
Seriously, the server loads will likely taper off by the weekend, if you want to wait.

It's been a few days since the original post. If you use Software Update again now, do you still have this problem?
Also, what is the name and version number of the update? If you can't get Software Update to do it for some reason, you can search for that update on Apple Support, then download and install it manually.
Before you do that, run Disk Utility (which is on Applications/Utilities). Select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Click Verify Disk. This will check to make sure there is nothing is wrong with your startup disk. If there is a problem reported, that may be causing the problem with Software Update.

Do a clean (re-)install instead:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Why is the software update taking so long?

The pop-up box, "Software Update; Downloading Firefox; Connecting to the update server...", has appeared for the past three days, at different times. There is a progress bar within it that is scrolling, repeatedly, not ending.
This pop-up box only has a "Hide" button.
How long must this pop-up box be active?
Once prior today I did click the "Hide" button, but the pop-up box reappeared. Please give me some feed back.

Why is the Lion Recovery updating downloading slowly by my ethernet but fast on my wifi?

Came home tonight and immediately started updating the house macs.
First, my imac. I decided to limit the download first to the Lion Recovery Update. It is 452MB.
My imac connected by ethernet is reporting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Going real slow.
I boot up the macbook sitting in the same chair, connected by wifi, and it downloaded and installed the same update in about 4 minutes.
I tried stopping the imac, rebooting, making sure everything else was closed...even tried turning on the wifi...is saying 45 minutes.
I don't get it...any tips?
Thanks.

Never figured this out but it finally downloaded. Closing out.

Unable to install Lion Recovery Update v1.0 on Mac OS 10.8.2

Hi to anyone who can help,
As the "Find My Mac" option is greyed out, I followed all the instructions on the support forums on how to get this feature, such as Verify/Repair Machintosh HD using Disk Ultilty from the Recovery partition.
Subsequently I tried to install Lion Recovery Update v1.0 from the Apple Support link below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1464
However, while attempting to install, it says "This update can only be installed on OS 10.7". How do I get this fixed?
Some background info, my MacBook Pro 15" (early 2011) had a replacement Hard Disk Drive and Logic Board.
1. The replacement drive had 10.7.4 installed, and I used the recovery partition to restore to a Time Machine Backup (which was 10.8.2).
2. Do I need to "download" the Mountain Lion package in the app store again? I see it as an available to download instead of saying "Installed".

Exit Code 6 is a generic error that indicates that the installation was not successful.
Have a look at the following document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.html
A quick look at the error log, indicates a permission issues. Are you logged in with an Administrator account and have sufficient privileges to install software?

UPDATE taking too long

Hi everyone,
I have a small problem with a simple update statement that takes more than 15 minutes to execute. I really don't understand why it's taking that much. I'm using Oracle 10g (release 5).
Here is the statement:
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
     UPDATE local_persons a
        SET a.is_deleted = '1'
      WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
                          FROM remote_persons_mv z
                         WHERE a.person_id = z.person_id
                           AND a.institution_code = z.institution_code
                         UNION ALL
                        SELECT 1
                          FROM cf_additional_persons z
                         WHERE a.person_id = z.person_id
                           AND z.transform_type = 'CREATE');If you want to know how much records by table (remote_persons_mv is a materialized view).
- local_persons : 48770 records
- cf_additional_person: 4 records
- remote_persons_mv: 48766 records
Here is the execution plan I get.

   - dynamic sampling used for this statementI also checked if my statistics are correctly gathered and it seems so:
SELECT table_name, pct_free, num_rows, blocks, avg_row_len, last_analyzed
FROM all_tables
WHERE table_name = 'LOCAL_PERSONS';
LOCAL_PERSONS     10     48770     622     74     09/11/11
SELECT table_name, pct_free, num_rows, blocks, avg_row_len, last_analyzed
FROM all_tables
WHERE table_name = 'REMOTE_PERSONS_MV';
REMOTE_PERSONS_MV     10     48766     896     114     09/11/11I know that pct_free is not computed in statistics.
Does anyone have any idea about why is it taking soooo long??
Thanks,

You could also try to change the query so that instead of a NOT exists you do an IN + left join.
Looking at the execution plan the optimizer already seem to be doing this, but I might be mistaken. I just wonder where the second table access to local_persons is coming from.
Also important might be how many rows are already marked as deleted. Your select each time reconsiders those rows, without any need to do so. This might take much time. I added "a.is_deleted = '0' " in the next example.
untested
UPDATE local_persons a
SET a.is_deleted = '1'
WHERE a.is_deleted = '0' /* might be IS NOT NULL expression, depending how your column is filled */
AND a.id in ( /* here we build a list of IDs to be deleted */
select p2.id
from local_persons p2
left join remote_persons_mv z on p2.person_id = z.person_id and p2.institution_code = z.institution_code
left join cf_additional_persons ap on ap.person_id = p2.person_id and ap.transform_type = 'CREATE'
where z.person_id is null
and ap.person_id is null

Why is this video render taking a long time?

OS X Mavericks, Photoshop cc 2014, 2011 core i7 3.4 imac with 32GB ram, 256GB ssd scratch disk, 2GB video card.
See images for layers setup, etc., and for export settings. Each 'slide' is a jpeg under a MB placed as smart object. Each lower third is about 2 MB placed as smart object.
Render takes about 24 hours to complete. Why is this taking so long? I've tried this on other machines but they all take about the same time. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, in advance, for your help!

How long are the video clips and I see on at least one you have added a camera raw smart filter. I do not know how a smart filter operates on a video clip. However if Photoshop need to renter a full frame for each video frame and filter each frame image with ACR then encode the frames into a mp4 video stream it could be a very time consuming process for nearly 170 thousand frames. Have you tried encoding the mp4 without using the ACR smart filter adjustment? You also do not show the Timeline palette.

Why is downloading new storage taking so long

I brought som more storage for Iclou ,why is it taking so long for my storage to download ?

It includes this with the available iCloud storage options on the iPhone.
10GB - $20/year - 15 GB total iCloud storage.
20GB - $40/year - 25 GB total iCloud storage.
50GB - $100/year - 55 GB total iCloud storage.
Not sure how someone can equate "total iCloud storage" to increasing the iPhone's storage capacity, but the following is included - contact Apple for a full refund within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment. Partial refunds are available where required by law.
