Recently I came across a problem in my new mac book, which I had been ignoring for some time.
When you download an app from the app store, it add a download icon with a progress bar in it. This progress bar moves smoothly for small size files. A bit slow for medium sized app downloads. But for big downloads like XCODE it is nearly invisible.
And until you leave it for downloading for couple of hours in a broad band connection, you will not find any significant progress in the progress bar on the downloading icon.
After exploring much, I came to know that actually there is a place where you can get the complete detailed status of the downloading app.
Click on the
App Store Icon and then click on the
Purchases tab. Here you will see a detailed download progress of the app.
Here you will be able to see the following informations :-
- Total Size of the app to be downloaded
- Total MB already downloaded
- Time Remaining to complete the download
