How long is icloud backup restore supposed to take?

I backed up my stuff to icloud and restored backup to get everything back on my iPod again. Well that was yesterday afternoon and now it's Christmas in the morning and still nothing is on my iPod except my contacts. My over 1,000 photos and 4 apps plus messages and small are not there. Is this normal? Says my iPod 4g is 3.6 GB

It can take many hours. It depends upon your network speed and server load. The server load may be high because many new Apple devices are being setup today.
Thanks for not using all caps this time

  • How long does verifying iPad restore with Apple take after upgrading?

    How long does verifying iPad restore with Apple take after upgrading iTunes?  It's been hours & my pc won't let me close because of it.

    Should happen immediately...are your firewalls & anti-virus software turned off? If not, turn all of that stuff of & try again.

  • How long are iCloud backups kept for?

    It's a straightforward question which I've been unable to find an answer to as of yet.
    Also, can historic iCloud backups be transferred to a windows PC or mac?
    Thanks

    No, the documention (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766) says that when you restore from an iCloud backup "You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup".  At least, that's what the documentation says; I've never restored from an iCloud backup so I can't say if that's accurate or not.

  • HT1766 I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work

    I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

  • Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

    Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
    (The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
    I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

    You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.

    Is there anyone know how to do oracle backup,restore and recovery using php? any tips... is there any ways to do that?

    Are you referring to performing RMAN backup operations via the OSB web tool? RMAN operations are managed, not via the web tool, but through RMAN command line or Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM)

  • Serious iCloud backup restore privacy issue

    Hi, I am concerned about the iCloud backup restore. I just restored my iPhone 4S with iCloud backup restore. After that, It ask for my Apple ID username and password. This is where I'm concerned. There was already filled in email address from people I dont know. It was asking Apple ID because it was trying to restore apps. So after I put my Apple ID, it keep on asking Apple ID, but showing different email address in the username field. I guess its other iCloud email address. So is this a known issue or am I the only one who got to see this while restoring with iCloud backup?

    You are not alone and there is another discussion HERE

  • 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 ****.

  • HT6114 My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour.

    Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
    Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
    Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

  • 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.
