Applications i am trying to download or update in the app store on my macbook air (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) take days/weeks to load at least half on average. Why is this happening and how can i speed the downloads/updates up, it's frustrating.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I'm having same issue. Not the internet - speedtest shows 40mb/s download speed and not having issue downloading anything else. It says 2 days to download 2gb... only having issue with app store. Same computer and iOS as kk99025
It isn't the internet speed. In the case of the latest iTubes update, the App store update says 6 hrs + to download. After 4 hours it still said 4 hours remaining. I cancelled. Googled "iTunes Update" and downloaded in less than 10 minutes. Seems to be a problem on the App store side.
I'm having the same problem !
I'm on 45mbps AT&T u-verse link and everything else works fine including speed test.
Updates from the MAC App store, updates for my ipad & iphone from my devices or via itunes on my MAC are also slow.
Updates that usually complete in seconds are now taking hours.
I had the same situation a few days ago & it started working better but it is now back again.
The problem appears to be related to Apples downloading servers.
It's probably your internet speed, or something on your computer is impeding the speed. Try to do the updates from safe mode. OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
Why are apps taking so long to download/update in the app store?
