Why is the game taking so long to download

when i purchased deus ex: human revolution from the mac app store it kept saying error occured and then it started to download and now it is taking too long to download the finishing time says 6-8 hours i have tried restarting the download but it is still taking too long what should i do?

How much RAM do you have?
You might want to build it out to the max.
Macs are not gaming consoles, as such are not maximized for such use. They are computers, not gaming consoles, that is not to say they can't play games. Just understand that they will generate more heat and if you are using a game that is using a high number of CPU/GPU cycles, you may have to use an additional cooling apparatus.
All the best

  • Why are my songs taking so long to download?????

    I just bought songs from iTunes fromt he first time and they are taking forever to download. I have a 6GB ipod mini and I only have 189 songs on it. Its taken over 2 hours for 11 songs of about 2-4 min. to download. Why is this taking so long and is there anyhting i can do to speed up the process?

    Not sure what you are downloading, but it isn't a 4MB music file within 2 seconds.
    Even if you could get a true 56K speed (which does not exist) for dial-up, each 4MB file would take you 10 minutes to download.
    Most 56K modems are limited to around 40-50K at their fastest.
    Your times for the 11 songs seems about right.
    -- 11 songs @ an average of 3 minutes in length & 1MB/min = 33 MB total to download
    -- 33MB @ 56K = 1h23m
    -- 33MB @ 34K = 2h17m
    You are probably getting between 30K and 42K of real download speed from the modem.

  • Why is the trash taking so long to empty?

    I recently migated my music files to iCloud through Match tumes and have put my music lrary folder in the Trash.  I then emptied the trash and there were almost 10k files to delete.  The  first 9,000 or so went fairly nornal as afar as delete speed, but starting at file 1028, it's now taking up to an hour per file deleted.
    I've tried a bunch of things including a PRAM reboot, but no luck so far.  The files were on my external fire-wire drive.   suggestions?  Thanks!

    Select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar, then select Finder and press return. From the Finder menu bar, select Finder ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced and uncheck the box labeled Empty Trash securely. Try again to empty the Trash. If you still have problems, follow the instructions in this support article:
    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash

  • Why are my pictures taking so long to download

    I just got a replacement iPhone and my pictures are taking forever to download on the new iPhone. I'm worried I won't get all of my pictures. What can I do??

    That is ironic, but apparently Apple server is "locked" for restore process for three days. During that time it may say it is restoring even past the actual restore time. I have seen where someone successfully stopped that process, by changing apple id password, and where that didn't help to stop process. But 3 days from restore start, that should time out.
    Credit goes to Randers, he is the one who gave that info about three days, but I was also able to verify that myself.

  • 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.
