Corrupt iPod Restore taking forever !!
iTunes told me that my iPod Classic was Corrupt so i run a restore and it started syncing everything again and seemed to be moving quite fast now however 12 hours later it seems to take a couple minutes on just one song !! what can i do ? it's not even half finished this could take days !!
Quit, forcibly if needed. See Corrupt iPod classic. If the stats are OK try the DFU restore method and then the break up large transfers method to reload the media. I suggest you reboot the computer before attempting to load up the device.

During startup my ipod is taking forever to connect to my wifi network. I have the corrct key and everything. Any help?
Your model MB528LL ipod is a 2G and can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. many apps now require 4.3 or later.
You said "will not use the WiFi connection that I have looged on to it continues to tell me that it can't use anything without a secure connection."
Just what are you doing when you get that message and what is the exact wording of the error message? -
I am restoring from a clean install via a network drive and it is taking forever. Is it supposed to take this long?
See #29 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some rough guidelines.
And be sure you're doing it right -- starting with your Snow Leopard Install disc, per #14 in that same link. -
after instaling windows updates i restored windows and its taking forever right now its at restoring rejistery and its been there for about 3 hours what should i do?
thanksYup! it is frozen.
I got the same problem with my system just last week. I tried re-do it a few times, no resolved.
I first tried with SSD, everything went smoothly until I removed the last disc from the PC and the computer started installing all original factory softwares. I left it overnight and even half of a day next day. It kept going....
I decided shut it down and re-do it with a brand new 1TB HDD, it did the same thing...
Then I tried it with another brand new 1.5TB HDD, same thing happened...
I was just about to give up, but I thought I gona give it one time try. This time I got another 320GB HDD.. It did the same.
Then I just remembered I connected all those drives to the SATA slot other than the slot that my old C: drive was connected to.
I reconnected the new 320GB to this old "C:" slot SATA and tried to restore again... guess what? It works...
My problem solved!!!!
Hope this helps! -
IPhone Restore taking forever!
I started my restore at 2 p.m today (Eastern) and it is now 8 p.m. and i still have not finished. I am on the restoring iphone from backup phase and its about 1/4 complete moving like a half an inch every 20-30 minutes. I have never had a restore last this long, this is ridiculous! I also got this backup is corrupt and had to choose another. Any ideas to why this is?
Thanks
Message was edited by: stephen scMe as well! Restore taking hours! There is not enough data over this USB connection to take this long. There is nothing in Activity Monitor to give anything away and sadly, no specific log for what is happening. My backup last night took 10 friggin hours! I have alot of apps, but Apple techs out to chime in here and at least not leave us all hanging.

TS1382 ipod classic taking forever to sync
taking forever to sync my ipod classic
Same problem and there appears to be multitudes of us out there who are having sync problems with the latest iTunes update. You would think Tech Support would be on this.

Hey,
I'm restoring my iPhone, and when I've done the restore, it hangs constantly close to the end of the restore, before it has even let me choose which back up to restore from. Any reason for this, and anyway to sort it?

Corrupted iPod: Restore fails!!!
Something went wrong with my iPod with colour display (the Photo Generation, or whatever they call it).
While I was listening to it, suddenly it started skipping songs till it finally stopped.
As soon as I arrived at the office I connected it to my PC and then the agony started.
I will describe everything in the most possible detailed way in the hope anyone could help (bear with me, please!).
When I connect the iPod to the PC it is shown on "My Computer" as an external driver as "Apple iPod", as usual, and on iTunes I can read its S/N, software version but it doesn't show any capacity and no format either.
I have started iTunes that prompted the follwoing message:
"iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
Disconnecting and reconnecting did not do anything.
So I have tried to restore it to factory settings (thank goodness my library is on my PC...).
The usual message:
"Are you sure you want to restore the iPod "iPod" to its factory settings? All of your songs and other data will be erased." is displayed.
I finally proceed and the "Restoring iPod" message is shown. To my dismay I see that the iPod is disconnected and the next thing is yet another message:
"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1418)".
Then the iPod freezes....
I have tried anything at least a gazillion times with no success.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Thanks,

HP Compaq nc8000 Windows XP iTunes 7.0.2.16I just went thru this myself!
It took me about 6 tries before it finally restored...... Can't suggest anything futher about trying to restore but...here's what I think the culprit was... in my case and I post this as WARNING for other Ipod users!
Heads up....faulty cases for Ipods?
My wife purchased a case for my Ipod... It is a very nice leather case with a flip front...
I noted when I put the Ipod in that the flip front seemd to have a magnet in it to keep the front closed...
I wondered about the wisdom of having a magnet so close to a hard drive - but figured the manufactuer knew what they were doing...
I know question that - within 24 hours of using that case - my Ipod stopped functioning and required 5 or 6 attempts to restore to factory setting in Itunes before it would work again...
I wish I'd saved the packaging to know what company it was... but it might be worth noting that this could be a problem for Ipods... and less knowledgeable clients may be using this case - restoring their Ipod and then using the case again... They may be blaming the Ipod when the problem could be stemming from the case itself... -
Corrupted iPod, Restored several times with no change.
Everytime I attach my iPod to iTunes(I sometimes have difficulty getting it to recognize), it says that "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." I have restored literally about 30 times, with no change in this. This wasn't a problem until I downloaded the new iTunes. I've tried reinstalling the new iTunes, with no luck. I've been looking for my iTunes CD that came with the iPod, and I am hoping that may be the fix to the problem. If anyone else has had this problem and has found a way to fix it, please inform me. =)
I'm right here with ya. I've got the same exact problem to the letter of what you said. Lemme know if you get an answer.

How long does it take to download the latest update to the ipod mini over usb. At this point the windows machine has been running for at least an hour and says it closed when finished. Is this normal?
It shouldn't take too long. Go ahead and reset the mini and see remove it when the apple logo shows up as long as the computer just says to wait for the iPod to finsih its restore process...

Ipod nano taking forever to charge
I have an ipod nano 2nd generation. Almost a month ago, I was planning on taking it along
with me on a trip. It had not been charged. When I went to listen to it the battery was dead.
Ever since then, it has never been fully charged. Please help!kbeartx wrote:
Shuffles also blink orange when 'communicating' w/ iTunes - while syncing, while playing or editing items in iTunes that are also on the Shuffle.
Please don't confuse the issue! The original poster said *"This has been charging for about 8 hours now"* NONE of the activities you mentioned should be taking that long... -
Time Machine Restoration Taking Forever
For a little about my setup I have 2 2TB Time Machine's in the basement. One is acting as my router as well, the other is just for backups. I also have an airport express in the living room acting as a Wireless Access Point for the DVR and a network range extender.
My iMac connects to the network via ethernet cable to a 10MBPs/100MBPs switch in the basement that the TC Router connects to. Everything else in the house connects wirelessly.
So recently the 1 TB HD in my iMac was replaced by the nearest authorized service center under Apple's recall or whatever you want to call it. I got the machine back about a two weeks ago or so, and stared installing the OS (the install disk I have is Snow Leopard although I had updated to Mountain Lion). During the course of the install I was given the option of restoring from a Time Machine backup so I chose that option.
The latest backup on one of the TC's was 12/2011. So I figured I had the wrong TC, went back and chose the other. This TC did not give me the option of which backup I wanted to use so I figured it must be the most recent. Hit continue and it seemed to start the restore process. After approximately 8 days the progress bar was only at 50% and seemed hung up. I let it be for a couple more days and still seemed hung up.
So here I am today, typing this on my MBP and trying to figure out what to do. I forced a shutdown of the system and re-booted with Snow Leopard disk installed and did a clean install. I go into finder and I can see my previous user account, but I can't logout and login back in as that user because the password is now not the same as it was prior to the HD replacement.
Also during all of this I changed my network around. The NetGear router I was using would not play nice with the Airport Express, so with Tech Support's help I swapped to the TC as the router. During that process both TC's had to be reset.
Currenty Finder is trying to connect to the TC with what I assume is the latest backup, I guess I will just let it go and see what happens.
EDIT: well after about 10 minutes, the backup folder opened, I selected 'Latest' and now I get a pop-up "Connecting to server" and above the progress bar it says "Resolving alias to . . . ". The names of the Time Capsules were changed as part of the TC restoration when on the phone with Tech Support so maybe that is it?
I would appreciate any help.Well finally got it back up and running. Ended up hooking the TC with the older backup from 12/2011 directly to the iMac, booting form my SL disk, and then restoring from the TC.
This brought my OS up to Lion.
I then made a Lion boot disk, booted into that, and was able to restore to Mountain Lion from the latest backup on the other TC.
All I can figure is that for some reason Snow Leopard wouldn't let me restore to an image made from Mountain Lion?
Lesson learned is to have a boot disk. I now have an optical Mountain Lion boot disk, and a boot disk on a flash drive in case or the other fails. -
I am restoring a 30 minute movie from time machine. It has been restoring for 15-20 minutes. How long should a restore that size take?
Hi
Restore - No - Don't know - BUT reg speed I accidentally found out
• When Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk fills up - everything goes slowely till it stop - I never let it go under 25Gb free space
• Starting a new User Account - and do my project here - speeded up project significantly
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show and Speed increases slightly on My Mac.

Restore of ipod touch taking 5 HOURS!
Hi i recently smashed my ipod screen and got i got a new one, it is the exact same make as the old one (ipod touch 4th generation) however i decided to restore it from a backup and it is saying it is going to take 5 hours to restore, is there something wrong here? or is this just normal, it is taking forever to restore, is there anyway i can speed up this restore? Thanks
Is that time for downloading the firmware? Usually it speeds up.
If not downloading, at what stage of the restore is the iPod? What does the status bar in iTunes say?
