TS4036 I've been restoring a new iphone to my icloud backup since last night. It keeps saying 30 + hours remaining. This does not seem right. Any suggestions?

I've been restoring a new iphone to my icloud backup and it's been taking hours. It's already been 15 hours and it keeps flashing between 30 to even 48 hours longer. I already stopped it last night and restarted but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any suggestions???

Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

  • HT4859 I have restored a new iPhone from an iCloud backup but selected the wrong backup point. Can I restore again from a different point.

    I have restored a new iPhone from an iCloud backup but selected the wrong backup point.  Can I do the restore again from a different backup point?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings, once complete the set up assistant will ask if you have an iCloud back up, follow on screen instruction to restore from it.

  • TS2755 I updated my Iphone 4 to the latest os 7 now my imessages will not work.  I tried to back up my phone using the cloud but it said it would take 38 hours.   This does not feel right to me.

    My imessages worked on minute and the next it would stop working so I updated to ios7.  Now it does not work at all.  Now I am unable to do any back up on this phone. What else can I try?

    Burrning-Bunny I have tried that I even went to the Apple store and they told me to reset my password and try again, but that did not work.  I reset the time and date, tried to refresh settings. getting frustrated to say the least.
    thanks.  I appreciate any help though.

  • Restoring new iPhone 4S from iCloud backup has created an app sync nightmare with iTunes

    I've restored my new iPhone 4S from iCloud and plugged it into my computer to sync over the apps so they wouldnt have to redownload via iCloud. Hit the initial ok dialogue button, which had an auto-sync apps option checkmarked under it (this was the only dialogue option and only checkmark). Now iTunes wants to reload all apps and erase app data.
    The phone is peforming as expected, downloading the apps one-by-one from iCloud, however, I won't be able to sync the phone, as leaving apps sync checked will rewrite all apps (erasing app data and adding apps I don't want on my phone), and unchecking apps sync will delete all apps from the phone. I've tried removing the ~/Library/iTunes/ folder, hoping it would force iTunes to re-initialize the sync config. This didn't help at all.
    Any suggestions? I really don't want to re-restore from iCloud, but thinking I'm gonna have to and hope that not checking the auto-sync apps (when the phone is plugged in for the first time) will fix the issue. It's rather mindnumbing that there doesn't appear to be a less painful option for the simple task of setting up a new device from an old device iCloud backup. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this is hard to follow.

    Ok, so this is pretty infuriating. I've gone ahead and restored from iCloud again. This time when I plugged my phone into iTunes for the first time, I unchecked the option to automatically sync apps. As expected, the Apps are not set to sync now, however, the computer does not display the apps loading on the phone, so if I did go ahead and turn on App sync, I would end up losing all app data. It appears that I will have to let all apps redownload from iCloud before I can do anything regarding syncing with iTunes. I can't believe this is the only option. I suppose I could turn off iCloud backup on my iPhone 4, allow it to create a local backup, then local restore onto iPhone 4S, then turn on iCloud backup. That seems a little too band-aidish to me, though.

    Edit: Yes, I have 10.7.2 and all available system updates as of today (10/14/11).

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4 shut off and will not turn on.  My home button does not work.  Any suggestions?

    My iPhone 4 worked fine last night.  When I woke up this morning, it had shut off and will not turn back on.  I looked up the HOME+SLEEP key solutions, but my home button does not work.  Any suggestions?

    Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • Hello. I updated my iPad yesterday and now, when I try to download a new book on my overdrive app, it closes the whole app and my book does not download. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Hello, after I upgraded to the new iOS 7.0 I can not download books I my overdrive app. Every time I try, it closes the app and the book does not download.
    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    I'm a librarian....this is what we got to help people. I haven't tried it yet myself.
    Dear Library Partner,
    Apple released iOS 7 yesterday and many of your Apple users may have upgraded their device(s) or will be upgrading in the near future.
    When an existing OverDrive Media Console (OMC) user upgrades to iOS 7, the app will fail when trying to open a DRM-protected eBook. New or first time users of OMC are unaffected by this issue.
    We are resolving the issue but in the meantime, here are immediate remedies for users:
    1) Re-authenticate the app with their existing or a new Adobe ID. Refer to the iOS section of this Help articlefor assistance. (Recommended)
    2) Uninstall and re-install OMC which will also require the user to re-authorize with Adobe. IMPORTANT NOTE: A re-install will clear a user's bookshelf, history, and app settings.
    Audiobook users won't notice that anything is different unless they attempt to download parts of audiobooks they already downloaded to OMC before upgrading to iOS 7. A user will receive an error message informing them to download the title again.
    We encourage you to share this information with your users via email, Facebook or Twitter.
    We apologize for the inconvenience.
    Regards,
    OverDrive's Partner Services"

  • HT1766 I am trying to restore my new iphone from a previous backup but itunes is asking for the backup password. But I never had one.

    itunes is asking for a password for the backup that I did not set. I can NOT set up my new iphone and restore it from an old backup. What can I do?

    This message is asking for the password that was added when the backup was first created IF you don't have this passcode you will be unable to restore from this backup.
    Good luck Friend.

  • I installed the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25) on a new Windows 7 PC.  I can see ahred libraries on Shared but can't import as the line containing the Settings and Import buttons does not display.   Any suggestions?

    To move the iTunes library to this new computer I switched on Home Sharing and can see the other libraries on my home network.  If I select tracks from a Shared library I can't import them as the strip containing "Show: All Items" and the "Settings" and "Import" buttons, does not display at the bottom of the screen.  Goes straight from the list of tracks to the strip with Playlist icons and xxxx items, tttttt total time, yyyy GB. 
    Any suggestions for making the Import button appear?

  • HT1430 my iPhone will not send emails.  I have checked the settings and reset the phone, it still does not work. Any suggestions?  Thanks

    If anyone can help I would appreciate it.  Mail on my iphone will not send any messages.  I have followed the Apple instructions and still it won't work, even after resetting my iphone.  My email provider is BT.

    To Avoid Relaying:
    If you are sending an email from, say, [email protected], but the return address is [email protected], that is relaying (you are using y.com's servers to send an email where the email "originates" from b.com).  Many servers don't allow relaying to prevent spamming.
    To make this work go into the email account settings, tap the account "button" that has your email address, go to the Advanced section in "Mail" if there is one, then go to  "Outgoing Mail Server",  tap it, and then tap "Primary Server", and in the Outgoing Mail Server enter your user name and password.  It may say optional, but you need this.
    Not all services provide this and the sequence of buttons I describe above may not be exactly the same for each address (look around if different).  If you can't set the user name and password, then that email service does not provide a way to get around relaying.

  • How do I restore my new iphone using the icloud data stored from another phone?

    Yesterday my iPhone stopped working so I took it to the Apple store who replaced it with another one. I used iCloud when setting up this new one but this only restored my numbers to the new phone. I plugged the phone into my computer when I got home and again tried to restore my phone to the setup from yesterday. This changed the phone to the setup from over a year ago. I know my old phone backed up more recently than this because under iCloud 'Manage Storage' it shows that my old phone backed up yesterday. Any ideas how I can access this?

    On your replacement phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings...you should now be able to use the backup from your old phone.
