To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. It says that lion is downloading and it's on my dock but it is taking an extremely long time. Posted on Jul 20, AM. Page content loaded. Jul 20, AM in response to rachel In response to rachel Servers may be very busy now -- or perhaps you have a slow connection. The file is about 4 GB, a very large download. Took me about min and I have a fast connection.

If I wanted to put my computer to sleep because I'm leaving, would it harm to pause the download and resume later? Never had a problem with my download speed so far, but after 3 hours, only MB downloaded!
According to the App Store I still have 2 days to wait! Jul 22, AM in response to rachel In response to rachel Jul 22, AM. Jul 22, AM in response to davidnowhere In response to davidnowhere.

I paused it around 11 last night so I could watch some Netflix. Resumed it this morning and it still has two hours to go. What's causing the molasses? Is it Apple? I'd like to do something productive, but this is like watching paint dry.
Oct 24, AM. Steps Find out what computer model you have. Click the "Apple button" in the upper left corner of your screen. Select "About This Mac". Update current system. Which macOS version is the latest? Select the installer and quit. In the top portion of the Activity Monitor window, find the installer then click on the red icon to quit process. Category: technology and computing shareware and freeware. The operating system takes 30 to 60 minutes to install , so now might be a good time to take a coffee break.
When the install is finished, your Mac restarts itself. If you were reinstalling OS X on a hard disk that it had been installed on previously, you're done. Can I close my computer while updating? How do you reinstall Mac OS? Reinstall macOS. Install the latest version of macOS from the internet: Press and hold Option-Command-R until a spinning globe appears, then release the keys.
How long does it take to install Windows on Mac? Will reinstalling Mac OS make it faster? How long does it take to wipe Macbook Pro? How long does a Mac update take? How long does it take to factory reset a MacBook? I never do upgrade installations, regardless of the operating system.
Things get left behind. Things aren't compatible. Things aren't as snappy. I can understand downloading the installer for an app but not an entire operating system. Nope, not terribly different, except for WAY more people and people who don't normally care about download times as much as developers accessing the download. Apple isn't talking about this, but for a lot of people, that download, if it's possible at all, is going to be a bear.
It's a conundrum all right. Personally I have a 20 Mbps connection with no cap limit on my downloads so no problems here. But my brother is in Malaysia and has cellular internet at around Kbps with a 5 GB per month cap limit.
I can't speak for the US market but here in British Columbia Canada, uncapped or nearly uncapped , high speed internet isn't all that common once you get away from the major urban centres. Here in upstate New York with a normal residential connection for the general Ithaca area Time Warner cable , and based on some experience with downloading files of approximately that exact size, it looks like we are talking as fast as a half hour or as slow as 4 hours.
If I were planning to install Lion on a Saturday morning, say, I'd want to start downloading on Friday evening I wonder if you can pause a download? Perhaps you could download a little bit every month until you've got it all? I wonder also if you could go to an Apple Store and download it there? Perhaps this is a way to get more people in the doors There's a 4 GB monthly limit here in rural Wisconsin.
I haven't measured my download speed, but will do so. As a reference, it recently took about an hour to download the free pilot episode of Warehouse 13 from iTunes. I think this is way too long. I am on a fiber-to-the-home network, meaning the entire network is fiber, down to the interface box on the side of my house. Granted, there are a lot of things that determine download times, but my setup seems really fast to me, at least compared to other suppliers.
I'd rather have disks. How is this going to work for those of us in the boonies who do NOT have high-speed internet? Seems like it would take days off my life, and max my usage right out, to try to download this via cell modem.
