How do I back up more quickly.

When I go to sync my phone it makes a back up and it takes over an hour for it to complete. This seems really lengthy.
Is there a way to turn off the back up or set it to just once a week or just make it quicker?
iTunes and firmware are up to date.

A normal backup should only take a minute or two.
Searching through this forum, there are several people who report that deleting the Facebook app from the phone reduces backup time from hours to just minutes.
I've never used the Facebook app, so I have no personal experience to report. Others' experience is here:

  • Web galleries: how to get back to Homepage quickly?

    I have several Aperture web galleries on my .Mac homepage. I like the look but the huge downside is that when someone gets to the last page, e.g. number 15, to get back to my homepage they have to either go back in their browser 15 times or re-enter my homepage address. Is there a way for them to get back to my homepage (which is my site menu) in one click?
    I am also thinking of making my own website with iWeb. Would I have the same problem with it?

    i personally have edited my templates to include a couple of "returns" from the large images ... also if you click the "tidy photography" image it will (in most cases) send you back to the previous menu (on the older pages it goes to my homepage - still havent fixed this)

  • How to receive Denim update more quickly

    Hi,
    I obviously can't verify that this will work for anyone but here it goes.
    I hadn't received the Denim update for the Lumia 930 by yesterday (16th Jan). Then I uninstalled the "Preview for Developers" App. Initially when I checked for updates again there was no update notification. But just a few hours later the update came through. I don't know if it's linked but it's very coincidental.
    So I would suggest you try the same, wait for a few hours and then see if the update comes through.
    Good luck!
    My Nokia history:
    2110 => 6110 => 8110 => 6310 => 2300 => 2600 => 6070 => E71 => N97 Mini => E72 => C7 => E7 => E6 => 700

    Sounds like a coincidence as the 'full'930 DENIM rollout has just started a day or so ago.

  • How to mark days in calendar & how to delete mail more quickly ?

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4S and run the latest iOS.
    I want the calendar app to mark days with appointments so that I can see them in the Month view.
    Also, I don't want to have to select mail messages individually for deletion. How can I do this more quickly (besides tapping faster)?
    Thanks ahead,
    -gd

    Days with appointments will be marked with a dot in month view. Tapping the icon that looks like a box with three lines underit will show you events for the selected day in month view.
    Also, I don't want to have to select mail messages individually for deletion. How can I do this more quickly (besides tapping faster)?
    You can't.

  • HT1473 how can I download an more than one audio cd to itunes, scramble all and then transfer all back to a R/W cd?

    how can I download an more than one audio cd to itunes, scramble all and then transfer all back to a R/W cd?

    Import the CDs to iTunes one at a time, following these instructions.
    Once the tracks are in your iTunes library, put them into a playlist, and get them into the order you want.  Or if you by "scramble" you mean a randomly shuffled order, use the crossing arrows at the lower left to do so.
    When you are ready, insert a blank CD, use the command File > Burn Playlist to Disc, and create an audio CD.  I strongly suggest using CD-Rs rather than CD-RWs, since the latter often have trouble in normal CD players.

  • I am trying to install Snow Leapord and I get a response that I do not have enough memoroy.  I recently bought a 2TB WD backup drive.  I backed up the iMac. Now how do I free up more memory?

    I am trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and I get a message that I do not have enough memory. I recently bought a 2TB WD back-up drive and backed up the entire computer.  Now how do I free up more memory to allow me to install the new software?

    First thing to try is emptying the trash to get more space.
    Go to the Finder -> File Menu -> Empty Trash.
    This will free up some space.
    Next look at your Download folder. Click on "Size" to sort by largest to smallest. This is where you have downloaded files over time and you should be able to delete a good amount of them, if you don't need them any more, to clear up space. Select the files you want to get rid of and hit "Command-Delete". This will move them to the Trash. You will then need to Empty the Trash again.
    You can also look through your documents for large files. Do the same think, click on "Size" in the finder window to sort by largest to smallest.
    Lastly, look at your applications folder. Unlike a PC, you can just Delete applications. Now certain data will still remain, but the bulky items will go away by doing the same "Command-Delete" on the applications you don't want.
    Don't forget, after you have deleted things, you need to Empty the Trash.

  • How to optimize web2 in order to open the window more quickly?

    how to optimize web2 in order to open the window more quickly ?

    salientgreen is right. But my suggestion is that you'd better first transfer these data to your computer to have a backup and then delete them to free up space.
    By the way, you can open Settings and navigate to General > Usage to get an idea of your storage consumption. Music, videos, and photos might be the biggest offender.

  • How to display helpTip more quickly [ScriptUI]

    Hi
    I want to display ScriptUI helpTip more quickly.
    When mouseover the element, it takes 2sec to dipspay helptip-message.
    Can I set delay-time to 1sec, or is there other way to resolve this?
    (function(){
      var u;

      help.helpTip = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
      win.show();

    Hmm, yeah, I guess InDesign overrides the OS's default tooltip delays, which is not surprising, as it does present tooltips in a better way in some cases. Sorry for the bad guess (I was not near a Mac at the time).
    Though...why is it interesting if it doesn't work?

  • I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants.  Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

    I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes.  i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files.  now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files.  so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date.  the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download. 
    Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
    ***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • My hard drive that is sync to my ipad crashed! Good thing is all my photos were transferred to my ipad for viewing - now my quesiton is how do I back up my ipad on another computer without losing my pictures? can I back up my ipad on a external hard drive

    My hard drive on my computer crashed!  This is the computer my ipad was sync with! All my photos of my three girls are on the ipad, but how do I get them transferred to either an external hard drive or to another computer - or just have them all printed - nearly 1000 photos!
    Also, can I back up my ipad with an external hard drive?  If I try to sync to a new computer it will erase everything I currently have on the ipad , correct?
    Thanks for your help - I am worried if I don't do something quick, my ipad will crash too!

    Right.  You didn't read the post, you only read the title.
    The title came from an earlier step in the process when I was posing a question to the systen.
    The pertinent part of the question is "How to I back up documents that are stored in iCloud" 
    That the destination for the backup is NOT my internal HDD should be clear from the rest of the post.
    And frankly, even if that is where I want to back up to, that would at least give me two copies, at least giving me one duplicate of the stuff on iCloud.
    So please stop wasting my time if you can't answer the actual question: How do I backup content that is stored in iCloud.  The destination of the backup is irrelevant.

  • How do I back up itunes to dvd

    How do i back up itunes to dvd.I have the latest update,but under file- library,there is no backup to disc now

    The backup to disk option was removed as of iTunes 10.4. If you want to back up your tracks to a CD, you can as a workaround put the tracks in a playlist and then use the Burn Playlist to Disk command and select a data disk as the format. If you want to back up your tracks to a DVD now, you'll need to use other software. Unless your library is pretty small, though, it's probably a lot more effective to just copy the entire iTunes folder to an external hard drive or USB flash drive.

  • How do I back up my iPhone 5s when iTunes doesn't recognize my phone?

    I haven't backed up my iPhone 5s for a couple of months and I received a message that my data exceeds iCloud storage.  The other day I connected my phone to my iMac and pulled up iTunes and a screen popped up asking me if this was a new phone!  I'm afraid to proceed because I'm guessing I will lose all of my "Notes" and pictures that exceeded the storage limit on iCloud.  Any suggestions as to how I can back up my phone and not lose information stored on my phone?
    One more note, I haven't been able to update to the lates IOS version 7.1 because it needs 2.5GB of storage and I want to back up before I make space available. 
    Thank you so much!!

    DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
    If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then readhttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps.
    try also
    RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • How do I back up documents that are stored in iCloud to my own hard drive?

    The trouble is, however I search for an answer to this question, I get instructions on how to back up stuff TO iCloud.
    I want to back up stuff that applications like Pages and Numbers are already storing IN iCloud.
    See, I don't want to have to trust iCloud to safely store my documents.  Not unless there are copies somewhere that I can fall back on if (it's really only a matter of when) something goes fatally haywire in iCloud.
    It's easy enough to do with a service like, say, Dropbox, which treats my "cloud-stored" files like they are in a folder on my hard-drive.  So when I run either a local (Time Machine/Capsule) or a cloud (Crashplan, in my case) backup, those files get backed up.  So I have at least three copies of those files - in Dropbox, on my Time Capsule, and on Crashplan's servers.
    So how do I do that with docs that are stored in iCloud?  Apple wants me to store stuff in iCloud - if I have iCloud enabled and want to save a doc to another destination, there are multiple steps I want to go through.  And I'm fine with using iCloud if I'm creating documents that I want to be able to access from my iOS devices as well.
    Yes, I can do that with Dropbox, but it's less seamless than doing it through iCloud.
    But I want my own backups of those files, and near as I can tell, Apple makes that nearly impossible because iCloud does not show up anywhere as a folder that I can access or sort.
    Or does it?  Am I missing something?
    If so, let me know.... if not... is there a solution to this dilemma, or is it just one more aspect of iCloud that Apple has not clearly thought through?
    Thanks,
    --PS

  • How to exclude one or more than one member on report?

    Post Author: izhar
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Hi all group members, I am working on BOXI R2. I have to ask that, How to exclude one or more than one member from the report. I know there is function of filter, through which we can see our desired members and other remaining will be excluded, but that's filter. In some of tools i have seen just do right click on a specific member and click on "Exclude" option to exclude the member. Suppose i have placed a Time dimension on the report and standing on "Month Level" which has data from 1, 2, ... 7,8, ... 11, 12 Now i just have to exclude member 7 from the report. Can any member guide me here. Regards, Izhar

    Izhar,
    If you run the report in "modify" mode, then you have two options
    1) You can click on the "Show/Hide Filter Pane" button which opens up the "apply filter" pane.  From there you go to your Data panel and grab, drag, and drop an item from the Data panel into the apply filter pane and provide a constant or select a value to filter in or out from your report.
    2) You can highlight the column of data that you want to filter on, then click on the "Add Quick Filter" button.  Using the List of Values menu you either select one or multiple items that you want to include in the report.
