Ridiculously long download time Sierra.
I did not start the download Sierra yesterday until after I am home from work here in the Central time zone, thinking the manic rush put to the test the Apple servers would be more after 5 to 6 hours.
That I was wrong.
I started the download and was initially thrilled to see it would take less than 30 minutes. But none. After about 25% of the download, I was informed the time needed for downloading amounted to 5-6 hours, and in the course of the next hour, the time required regularly rose at the top, no kidding, "someday, 11 hours."
So I called my ISP and after I restarted my computer, my router and my modem, I ran Speedtest (see below).
http://www.Speedtest.NET/my-result/5649708170
I then restarted the download, and in a few minutes, the total download time estimated again exploded within 30 minutes for well over a day.
I have a life, so I gave up the download from one day to the next, with the hope, once again, that the race would be seriously reduced by the time wherever I tried again this morning.
Ha! I write this, now the estimated download time is "two days."
I am happy that Apple is a success of these days (I remember the dark days of the mid - 90s), but C'mon - it is of nuts!
What gives?
It's a popular download, is a large download, it is free to download but just as importantly, it's a download of TCP/IP, so, to do a checksum for all data sent. It's not like a UDP stream movies Netflix or XBL HD where the data does not have to check so it is much more complex. Your ISP can be the fastest thing out there but it is still limited to the Apple bandwidth limited when something this big and with all these factors and expected goes live.

Hello wdemetris,
Thanks for asking for scanning helps here in the Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important to have access to your scanner and am happy to offer help for this.
As a precaution, we always recommend that you have backups to make sure that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup using Time Machine and an external hard drive. Use this article to help make a backup of your Mac: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.
Then, in accordance with article help: printer and scanner for Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks macOS software, the HP Envy 4500 e-all-in-one is supported for printing and scanning. The drivers must be installed, but if not, if it please go to the App Store and check the updates tab to see if there are updates for HP. If there is, please install.
If you have only general questions about how to get your updated scanner in place or how to scan pictures, please check out these two articles: macOS Sierra: implement a scanner & macOS Sierra: scan images or documents.

I tried to download macOS Sierra on my macbook pro iOS 10 for a few hours and it still has several hours to go. Should I just download the Capitan instead? All sites tell me that I should update my Safari or I wouldn't even through this disorder.
You must complete the download of Sierra. It is a very large file and will take some time, especially on a slow Internet connection.

I tried to download iOS Sierra and got this message-
"This copy install macOS application Sierra is damaged and cannot be used to install macOS"
Can someone tell me how to sort this please?
Thank you
In general, it is a case where something happened during the download installation where it has been interrupted or has been corrupted. Usually, this will happen if the Internet connection was disrupted.

I used my HP Touchpad as an eReader using beta Kindle from the HP App store. Recently, after I put in that latest WebOS update (version 3.0.5), now I can no longer download and read books. All my books have been archived automatically. When I try to download a book, I get the message ' error downloading

Please allow the network and connect to the internet and try again ".» It is strange that WiFi is on and I can see the Amazon bookstore.I have already read the other posts and uninstalled and reinstalled Kindle; tried to pass in the Amazon and send the books on my Touchpad, but nothing works.

What is the difference between them?
Timer.Schedule (task TimerTask, delay, long) vs timer.scheduleAtFixedRate (...)
The difference is the way it handles trolling and catching up.
If schedule() is used and a performance falls behind his scheduled execution date, consecutive executions are also delayed.
With scheduleAtFixedRate() If execution falls behind, he'll try to 'catch up' and do a run right after the other.

Hello. I have Lightroom 3. The only addition I've ever done is to add a plugin of double Finder several years ago. No, all of a sudden I can no longer download photos as usual. I need to deceive Lightroom by downloading by adding new files into folders and then synchronize these folders. But lately this work around is not no longer works. Is the program, forcing me to upgrade? Can I continue to use this version. I need to reset something. Please help because it is very frustrating.
Thank you!
EmilyPDF, GIF and BMP are not the types of files supported for Lightroom.
See here: help Lightroom | Supported file formats
However, there is a plugin available that will allow you at least these files from the catalog, it is called Anyfile: any Lightroom Plugin file

After you download the new operating system i.e. sierra, my iMac has slowed down considerably. It takes a lot of time to open applications.
If it's just after the upgrade, it can be busy all indexing. Give him a couple of hours.
If it is still slow execution Etrecheck and post the report here.

Download macOS Sierra problems
Hello!
I tried to download Sierra since last night. It is 2.75 GB right now, but then instead of having only 20 or so left min to download, it kept longer and longer. It is 6 hours right now. Then last night there was a popup that says that an error has occurred while I was trying to download it.
I know this isn't the internet speed because I just checked my speed and everything seems to work very well. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Servers probably overloaded, try not to do any heavy Internet traffic while it is downloading.
If you use WiFi you can try to connect via the ethernet cable instead.
