OSX Yosemite is loading on my Mac Air I at a snail's pace, I have almost 2 DAYS left to download! How can I speed it up?

OSX Yosemite is downloading 1 MB per minute or less. I have a Mac Air I using Parallels. I have 6.85 GB free. B/U is external. 105 GB are photos.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hi, Dr.Rowlin.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


If you are experiencing issues downloading from the Mac App Store, here is a helpful troubleshooting article.


Note: The download time will vary according to the file's size and your Internet connection speed. Refer to this article about iTunes Store purchases for more information about download times for large files.

Also, you will have to free up space on your computer to allow the install of Yosemite.


Your Mac also needs:

  • OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8, already installed
  • 2 GB or more of memory
  • 8 GB or more of available disk space
