How long does an intial icloud back up take?

how long does an inityial iCloid back up take on a new iPad?

Solution - turn backup off. Just means you will not have a backup to restore from but if you dont have a few hours to wait every time you need to restore the backup and up to an hour to wait every time you sync then you wont care.

How long did your first wireless back up take??

After doing the initial back up via ethernet, how long did your first wireless back up take?? I can't seem to get past the preparing stage. However I have recently learned that the first time backing up wirelessly, the finder indexes the back up & this can take a while. I'm leaving it a little longer now. It has been preparing for about half an hour now.
Is this normal?
How long does this indexing take?
What are your experiences?
Thanks.

So far for me it's been five days. I hooked up Time Capsule Thursday night, and after monitoring the progress for a few hours, I calculated that it should take three days, which I figured would mean that it should finish up by Sunday evening. (My MacBookPro had 103 gigs on it.)
It would have been nice if the instructions that came with the **** thing said something up front about hooking up via an ethernet cable for the initial backup. If I had seen those instructions before I started this nightmare, I might be done by now. Instead I started the backup wirelessly, which I'm sure accounts for some of the delay and hassle.
Unfortunately, the backup pace slowed steadily over the course of the weekend. By Saturday night, it had only done about 60 gigabyites, and by Sunday afternoon, it was only up to around 65. At that pace I figured I might be waiting another week before it finished, and since I actually take my computer with me when I leave my house, this would have deprived me of my computer for an unacceptable period. After doing some internet research and learning that using an ethernet cable would speed up the process, I therefore stopped the wireless backup, hooked up a cable, and restarted it at around 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
The backup then proceeded steadily at a faster (although not exactly zippy) pace. By midnight it had gotten through about 60 gigabytes, and after timing the rate at which it was proceeding by that time, I estimated that it should finish sometime around 8 p.m. tonight (Monday).
I left the computer along during the day while I ran errands away from home. When I got back around 6:30, it appeared to have finished the initial backup and to be in the process of finishing up an incremental backup. The progress bar said "backing up 12,443 items...51.3 MB of 51.3 MB." Unfortunately, it seems to be stuck there. It's now 8 p.m., and it still says it's working on those 51.3 MB. I don't know how much longer I should wait before deciding that it's frozen.
I'd like to just set this thing on fire. I bought the Time Capsule because I liked the idea of wireless, automatic backups. It was supposed to make my life easier, not make it a living ****.

HT4743 how long does a purchased tv season series take to download?

how long does a purchased tv season series take to download?

The season does not download. Individual episodes download when the user selects them. The ATV (2nd and 3rd gen) have no appreciable onboard storage, everything is streaming.
Honestly, content will download faster to iTunes on a computer, for there it can be streamed to the ATV on the same network via the Computers option on the ATV.

How long does the 10.8.3 update take?

It depends on your Internet speed. I have about 5MBPS and it took me 8hrs. If you have hi-speed internet I would say it would take about a hour.
Hope This Helps!

HT4796 How long does the migration assistant transfer usually take?

This transfer seems to be taking a really long time and no real change in status. How long does it usually take?

I originally tried to migrate from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac via wifi. 30 hours, and it never finished. Tried again, same result. 3 days later, and never finished the transfer, I connected the two via ethernet. Less than 4 hours to transer files (had a lot of high quality pix), but now up and running with no problems ... although I now have two main users. Read somewhere that there's a way to fix that. Don't EVER go wifi for Migration. Especially if you have others in your household using wifi, or a lot of high MB files. Or even if you've put you phone on wifi.
Oh yeah: don't forget to set your drive auto shut down to "never." That info isn't provided. Crucial for both devices. If either computer sleeps (the drive, not the screen), migration stops and doesn't warn as to "why" your migration isn't progressing, and you have to start all over. Be sure to go back and adjust the computer shut dowm to "never." System Preferences," "Energy Saver."
I am Mac, through and through. Just wish they'd offer more "how to" upfront versus me searching online or making an appointment to see some Genius, or waiting on hold for Apple assistance, to solve problems which I believe many face.
3 days later, migration complete. Finally. Seriously, Ethernet is the only way to go when you move from one Mac to another.
Been there, done that. Wish that Apple would suggest Ethernet as the way to Migrate. Have as of yet to see a successful migration via wifi; and I have looked, Googled, searched the topic. Apple should suggest Ethernet as the best way to migrate. Period.

How long does it (ipod shuffle 1st gen) take to charge

I have an iphone 4, and this morning i found my old ipod shuffle. How long does it take? i want to know if it still works.

It could take up to 30 minutes before the Shuffle shows any signs of life. I assume you are using the same cable that was originally included with the Shuffle when you purchased it?
How long has it been since it was last used. If it's been an extended period of time, the battery may be totally shot on the device as an iPod's batteries need constant activity in order to build and maintain a charge.

How long does final cut studio crossgrade mail take?

Hey there, forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this.
I sent in my final cut studio discs with filled out form in about 4 days ago regular mail.
I scanned the discs before i sent them off and of course I still have my paperwork (serials) and all that.
What bothers me is that I check the status and there is no record of it.
there is also a field that is required for "company" and I dont have a company name so I have no idea if this is screwing up the whole look up.
Anyway, its probably that they havent recieved my discs yet, since 4 days isnt very long.
BUT, can anyone clue me in on how long it took to get their universal versions nial cut studio?

It took mine almost 2 weeks. It took almost a week for mine to show up on the status and when it did, it said backordered. Stayed that way for 4 or 5 days, then got an e-mail saying they had been shipped. Got them this past Saturday.
Company name doesn't matter. I didn't fill in one on the original form and didn't when used the status form.

HT4972 How long does ipad 2 iOS 7 update take from iOS 4.3.5?! Help?

Hi, trying to download iOS 7 for an ipad 2 that has iOS 4.3.5. I've updated iTunes, downloaded ios7 to iTunes and am trying to update the ipad. I've manually backed up the ipad but when I click "update" it tries to back up the ipad still. Left it running for 2 hrs and nothing seems to be happening. It only has 12gig of data, is something else wrong?
Not much good at computer stuff, and getting frustrated. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks

If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

How long does erase all content and setting take

Hello,
Hi, i want to ask about "erase all content and setting", i have this ipad mini, and its already about an hour from the first time i choose that option, and till now there's nothing happened except this loading screen. Is it normal? Or do I have to connect it to my computer?

Ohh, okay then, but the progress bar on my ipad hasn't appear yet, just that circle thingy going round and round again.
Do i have to let it be or there's something i could do about it?

How long does the download for mountain lion take?

after the reading of many very bad customer appraisals I have not hesitated, nevertheless, and have on-line bought the silver lion's actualisation. Now I wait for half an hour, and there is no result generally. What´s happening there? Is this the apple company, where i am client since 20 Years?!

Yes, it's an "improvement". Now, instead of spending time going to the Apple store and buying a shiny new disc, or ordering it online, you only have to wait for your beard to grow.
If you have a loading bar under AppsStore icon, that's right.

How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick. Drag and drop should be how this works. So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen). It appeared to upload just fine. So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone. And no document.
I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient? Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices? I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection. I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site. I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts. iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.
