Yosemite 10.10.2 update taking forever...?

The update's been running for nearly an house now...
Is this normal or am I screwed?

Thanks for your reply.
During my first attempt, the progress bar showed 100% (solid blue) before the download even began.  The activity monitor showed no activity for the download for more than 1 hour.
I eventually called apple, and they had me shut down the machine and restart it in what amounts to "safe mode."  I was then able to download the update, with the progress bar working as it should.
It's a 436 MB file, with the download speed on Apple's side limited to roughly 40 KB/sec.  The entire process on the second attempt required more than 2.5 hours, including download, installation, and the subsequent permissions repair that I always perform after downloading new software.

  • Ipod update taking forever

    How long does it take to download the latest update to the ipod mini over usb. At this point the windows machine has been running for at least an hour and says it closed when finished. Is this normal?

    It shouldn't take too long. Go ahead and reset the mini and see remove it when the apple logo shows up as long as the computer just says to wait for the iPod to finsih its restore process...

  • OS X 10.6.4 Update taking FOREVER to download

    Just got a brand new Macbook a few days ago, running OS X 10.6.3. When I run software update and try to download the 10.6.4 update, it will literally take days to download. I tried going directly to the Apple Support downloads with the same results. This is infuriating! Anyone experience this or have any clue what's going on?

    This sounds like an Internet connection speed issue, not a permissions or damaged OS one. Software Update will attempt to download the smallest version of the OS update possible, but it is still likely to be 500 MB or more for 10.6.4. The combo OS updates are the largest, so if the issue is with your connection speed, trying to download one will only make things worse.
    However, Software Update will also try to download any other applicable updates for your Mac, for example for iTunes, unless you tell it not to. Thus, you might try clicking the 'show updates' button in Software Update & deselecting any others. You can install them later, after 10.6.4 is installed.
    For Internet download speed issues, check your network settings & make sure you are using appropriate ones to connect to the Internet & to any router or access point provided by your ISP or that you have provided & configured yourself. You can also use any of several online speed tests to check your download bandwidth. To find them, search the web with Google or another search engine using the phrase, "Internet speed test."

  • Latest snow leopard update taking forever

    Seems like the latest snow leopard update is stuck on a blue screen with the turning wheel thing. Is it possible to restart the upgrade without messing up my MacBook?

    It might get messy but eventually you won't have a choice. Try a hard restart into Safe Mode:
    Be sure the computer is shut down by using the hard Power button.
    Press the power button again after one minute.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Then use your machine's original software installation disk to do a Repair Permissions.
    Restart your machine after removing the disk and go to the Apple Store/Support/View All Support Downloads. Select the 10.6.5 Combo Updater and use that to attempt another download/install.
    Repair permissions again using Disk Utility.
    Perform a backup after checking all is working well.

  • Snow Leopard Comulative Updates Taking Forever

    I just upgraded my old laptop to Snow Leopard from Leopard.  That process only took one hour.  The updates however, are already on the third hour.  It downloaded them really quickly, but it is stuck on the nebulous purple and pink background with no progress indication.   How can I tell if it is hung up?  I do miss my hard drive activity light.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

    i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

    If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
    As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
    A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Restarting taking forever after Security Update 2014-002

    I just downloaded Security Update 2014-002 and my Mac Mini is taking forever to restart after the download and installation process finished. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks and my Mac is stuck on restart! What should I do?
    Need help! Thanks.

    Tap the space bar on your keyboard once. The dispaly may be sleeping.
    The first restart after the update here was longer than usual but I restarted one more time, it was back to normal boot time.
    After the restart, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu.
    It should say:  Verio 1.0 Installed Apr 22, 2014

  • Installed the OS update.  Now my 'sleep' command is taking forever to take effect.

    Installed the OS update.  Now my 'sleep' command is taking forever to take effect.

    I'm having the same issue. My iPod video now blinks on and off with the apple logo every 3-5 seconds. The HD clicks as well, but nothing happens. It has been like this for about an hour now, and my iTunes does not even recognize that my iPod is connected. Is there something wrong with the iPod update that we are not aware of? And if so, how can I restore my software without having to reinstall all of my songs and videos? This is really frustrating, and there should be some kind of warning about problems that can occur with new software updates.

  • IPhone 4S taking forever to sync after iOS 7 update

    My iPhone 4S is taking forever to completely sync the back up after updating to the new iOS 7 operating system. It's stuck in step 6 of 6 'waiting for items to copy'. Please help!

    I was having this same problem with iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS 7 and iTunes.  It was just taking forever on the 'waiting for items to copy' step.
    I disabled Genius on my iTunes setup, and immediately it resumed and completed that step.  Seems like it was waiting for Genius results that weren't there, or weren't available.
    I have a large iTunes library and still like to manually manage the music on my iPhone.
    I guess I'll live without Genius until Apple can fix this.
    iTunes Genius can cause manual sync of music to iPhone to hang for a long time.

  • Why is it taking forever to move objects in AI? I am completely up to date in CC 2014

    I am working on Trade Show Banners, 8' x 31".  Using linked eps files for all the images that have to go in it. If AI isn't crashing, it's taking forever for every thing I try to do!!!  So now, if I adjust kerning, I save. It takes 8-10 minutes to save. Next thing - 8-10 min to move an object. Then 8-10 min to save because when it crashes I lose all the work. This is driving me nuts. I have deadlines!

  • Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

    why is it taking forever to load!?

    The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
    that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
    or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
    What are these files? Where are they now?
    Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
    Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
    The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
    Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
    As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
    computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
    Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
    Good luck & happy computing!
