Full Back-up Too Slow? 6 Hours and Only 17.57GB done?
I started a full back-up right after preparing the external USB drive. Six hours later I only have 17.57GB backed-up out of 203.47GB. Is this normal? Here is the console log below. Did I not set-up the USB drive right in Disk Util.?

Does this show USB 1.1 or USB 2 at 12mb/sec? If would unplugging it in mid-back-up be disaster?

I just bought a iTunes card and its not accepting it. It already sent it to the support team and they said they were going to get back to my within 24 hours and i am trying to buy a program in the app store for work. How can I expedite this process?
Has it been 24 hours?
I take it this was a gift card. iTunes Store: Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement. -
In trying to update my iPhone 3Gs from v. 3.13, it apparently downloaded the upgrade, but got stuck during the backup. It backed up for over an hour, and now the green bar in the Backup window is now colorless and is showing no movement. Any suggestions?

I am trying to back up on my new time capsule with my mac book pro. It's been 25 hours and only done 5.8gb of 129gb. any advice. Thanks
You can backup 2 computers as long as the TC has enough space.
Your access might be restricted if you set it up with users.. you must log in with the correct user to get access to the files.
Otherwise you should be able to see both sparsebundles just with finder.
Look at Pondini's excellent FAQ
this one in particular may help

i'm on a prepaid plan for the 4s, i want the hotspot option which isn't offered on the prepaid plan. heard the connection is too slow on the 4s only worth it on the 5 or 5s. would you agree? not sure how much the hotspot would increase my monthly bill....
To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?
It's my iphone problem or itunes?It shouldn't take this long, something is wrong with your iTunes. Try this:
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and do the sync again and if it is working now. -
My last Time Machine back-up is 45 days old and only of User Account files (not entire HD) and I must now reinstall Lion (via internet) without performing a new back-up. Will any new User Account files, since my last back-up, be lost when Lion reinstalls ?
Reinstalling OS X doesn't affect user data, provided nothing goes wrong. But it would be very unwise to assume that nothing will go wrong, especially if you're having (unspecified) system issues. You should try to back up all data before you reinstall or do anything else. There are ways to do that, even if you're unable to boot.
If your backups include only user files, you won't be able to access them in Setup Assistant. -
Stuck at "Backing up" sync stage for hours and hours.
Hey everyone, thanks in advance for your help.
I tried syncing a 3rd gen iPod touch running iOS 5, an iPhone 3GS running 4.something, and iPhone 4 w/ 5.1.
When I plug in the items they all get stuck at the "backing up" sync stage, or step 2, (its always 2 of__).
I am running Windows 7 and running iTunes 10.5.1.42
Things I have done to try to get it to work:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.
Rebooting the computer.
Totally reset the iPhone 3GS so that there were no media/new apps/ pics. Was told to do this to speed up the process.
"X"ing out this step. Tried clicking on the little "x" next to "step 2" , was told it would discontinue that specific step and move on to the next process.
Letting it sit for 8 hours
This started about 4 days ago, never had a problem with any of these products before.
All of these did nothing.
Help!!
Thanks so muchHey.
So I figured it out and just wanted to share the solution in case there is anyone else out there having the same issue.
The moment I plugged in my device iTunes begins to back it up before the syncing begins.
What you have to do is keep your Task Manager open.
When it starts to back up the process AppleMobileBackup.exe*32 will begin. You should immediately end that process, this will speed things up considerably. iTunes will also pop open a window telling you that your backup has failed. This is OK, and obviously expected.
If you do want to actually backup your device then I would reccomend syncing it a few times while ending the back up process, and then syncing it again while allowing the process. I do not know why, but this gets the back up process running much smoother and doesn't take up as much CPU.
In general I would also reccomend closing the "Apple Push"process. This too seems to be taking up alot of CPU.
You will have to shut off the backup process from the task manager every single time you sync your device. Even in the same sitting, if you just added a bit more media, once you press sync the backup process will begin again, so be aware of that.
I hope this was helpful.
Good Luck -
I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.
Hi Erik,
Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
6. REBOOT your PC.
7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
8. Plug in your iPhone.
If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
Goodluck all!
Cheers. -
I downloaded a ringtone a few days ago and iTunes charged me twice which I am not happy about, not only that I didn't receive the ringtone.
This is probably not the right place to complain but I have tried contacting iTunes support and they said they will be in contact with myself in 24 hours and well its been well over that !!!!
You guys really need a phone customer services for iTunes, I know quite a few people that this has happened too and waiting for days for a response is not good.You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is a user forum. We are all itunes users just like you. -
HT1935 "Disk is too slow or System Overload-" Only 1 soft synth in project
I am getting the message "Disk is too slow or System Overload…" message when trying to playback in Logic Pro 9.1.8. This happens with only one soft synth plug in within any project. I am running Lion 10.7.5 on my Early 2011 13" Macbook Pro, upgraded to 8GB of RAM. This happened before I upgraded the RAM too.
I have checked all of my Logic preferences and they're set to what Apple suggest to keep CPU usage in check.
I have tried turning off my "Motion Sensor" and it still happens, so I don't think it's that.
If someone could advise me on what might be causing this I'd be very grateful.Hi
Which Soft Synth plugin?
Does the problem happen with all plugs or 1 specific one?

I am at wit's end. I took my first TC back to the Apple Store. The second is no better. I've spoken to AppleCare. I've tried direct hook up. I have been working on this for six weeks and have yet to obtain a single successful back up.
Any suggestions?My first question is what are you using to backup? You'r signature line once said 10.5.3 but mostly says 10.4.10?? Are you using Time Machine which came first with 10.5.1??
I'll continue, for the moment, on the assumption that you are using Time Machine with your Time Capsule.
If the 1.1MB/sec you observed was a sustained speed, then 400GB would take about 4 1/2 days. The way the Activity Monitor reports you see peak rate over some interval in the graphic window and what I believe is actual bytes sent in a one second interval (bytes/sec number). Also there is a cumulative bytes sent number which over say a few minutes of backup might give an indication of "real" speed.
But it's clear that if the sustainable speed is on the order of 1MB/sec or less then it is going to take 4,5,6...days to complete.
So, I see 2 questions: why is the sped as slow as it appears; second why does it fail before completing?
1. On my MacBook, doing an initial backup of 40GB in 2.5 hours gives an effective data rate of 4.4MB/sec. So we can conclude that the Time Capsule should not be the bottle neck. This is with a GB ethernet wired connection. I don't know the speed of the G5's network connection, but that could be a factor....I only switched to the Mac starting last year.
2. The logs. Interestingly, the logs shown in the Airport utility are only connected to the networking activity - the Airport side of the TC. To see the system log go to the Console application. ( Finder: Applications/Utilities/Console ) On the left is a list of many log files, the system.log is the 1st when expanding LOG FILES.
There is a LOT of messages in the file, and the log entries from different applications/services etc are interspersed. The 5 entries I showed yesterday, it turns out, are not all the relevant ones for a backup. They were only the ones that had "Time Capsule"appearing as in them. The workhorse of the actual backup is something called the backup daemon - appearing as "backupd" in the log file. Below is the "complete" log of the entries relating to a successful initial backup. If you examine your log you may find a clue as to why the backup fails/cause the system to crash/or?? It's possible that there is a "backupd" entry related to the failure or perhaps some other part of the system. If the system crashed, you can try and look at the dates/time to see where you re-booted a work backward looking for "ominous" entries that may indicate the failure....

Apex is too slow to login and run report
Hello Expert,
I am working to fix a problem with APEX is extremely slow to login. It might take 3 to 5 min for the login to show up and it takes forever to load the reports on the screeen that has 1000's of rows. And when it comes to clik on the button to move from tabs in the application, or select a drop down menu, it takes forever.
can any one suggest a solution to this problem? Is anyone experience this at their work environment and what can I do? If I am working on the same application in Development Environment, it is a little bit faster, it dosn't take that long as it takes in production.
Your suggestions is much needed and appreciated.Without knowing what version of the database & APEX it is kinda hard to even fathom where your issue is...
Are you having issues just getting a user logged in or is it a combination of logging in then running the report?
Have you tried running the query OUTSIDE APEX in TOAD or SQL Developer?
Can you post some information on what the query looks like? Maybe even post a sample of the code on the Hosted Oracle Instance?
Remember, the more you help us, the More We can Help You!!
