How long does it take to back up your iPhone it's been 6 hrs and still going!!!!!

It's been 6 hrs and my iCloud is still syncing ..I don't think this is normal!!!

Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • How long does it take to back up my macbook pro?

    How long does it take to back up my macbook pro?

    How long TimeMachine will take is a function of: 1) how frequently you back up, 2) how much free space the backup drive has, and 3) how the drive is connected to the computer.
    1) the longer you wait between backups increases the data that has to be backed up and it also increases the preparation time. Letting more than a couple days between backups elapse isn't a good idea to begin with - who wants to try and redo 3 days of work - but it also seems to take longer than three daily backups.
    2) when your backup drive becomes too full, TimeMachine must 'look through' the oldest files and delete enough to make room for the newer files. This can take a very long time.
    3) backing up over WiFi to a networked drive or TimeCapsule is the slowest backup method and when you have lots to back up it can take a very long time. If your connection speed isn't good it gets worse. For all the advantages that a TimeCapsule appears to have, this alone was enough to make me rethink the idea.
    With a 17 day estimate I'm guessing you must be using a TimeCapsule.

  • HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
    i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
    But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
    my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
    the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

  • How long does it take to charge the new iPhone 6

    How long does it take to charge the new iPhone 6?

    That depends on the level of charge...if it is fully discharged it could take two-three hours.  If only partially discharged, an hour.  But that is only guessing as it depends heavily on the charge level when you start charging.

  • How long does it take after switching on an iPhone 4S before you can enter the SIM card PIN?

    Hello,
    I have question concerning the iPhone 4s. I am currently not sure if my iPhone 4S shows a malfunction or not.
    After switching on my iPhone 4S it can take more 45 seconds before the dialog to enter SIM card PIN is displayed. I observe the same duration with two SIM cards from two different providers. It is not fully reproducible. In some care cases the dialog for requesting the SIM card PIN is also displayed after a few seconds. On my iPhone 3GS and my iPad this dialog is always displayed with the same SIM cards already after a few seconds. Could you please let my know how long does it take with your iPhone 4S?
    Thank you in advance.
    Roland

    I had a similar issue activating by HTC DNA.  The activation instructions Verizon sends are horrible since they explicitly mention that you do not need to call in to activate your phone.  I left my SIM activation running overnight and it just didn't work.  I finally called Verizon from my work phone the next day and the agent informed me that you do need to call to activate your SIM card.  You will need to have your SIM card ready when you call (to provide the long string of numbers on the back of the card).  Hope this helps!

  • How long does it take to back up my phone usually..?

    My phone shows that it takes 7 hours to backup up in icloud, (when it in charge and wifi on), for only 0.5G usage. Is it normal..?

    Turn around with this is 5 business days or less including shipping in both directions which is done via FedEx priority overnight.
    If a hardware repair is needed, more than likely your iPhone will be exchanged - to speed up the turn around.
    Before returning your iPhone, you will remove your SIM card. AppleCare will send you simple instructions along with a small paperclip for ejecting the SIM card tray.
    Be sure to erase all data and settings on your iPhone before returning it. Go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings.

  • How long does it take to be an "official iPhone Developer?"

    I decided that I wanted to be a iPhone developer a couple of days after the March announcement. So I filled out the contact information, and of course got the reply that the beta program was full.
    Fast forward to July 14th, when I got a email from the iPhone Dev folks that my application was being reviewed. It is now July 26th, and I still haven't got an answer back. Does it really take this long to even become a developer??? Can someone get turned down? If so, why? Do you have to tell Apple what you plan to develop?
    I have never had to go through such hoops to become a developer for any other platform. You just pay your money and bang there your are, if you even need that. I'm not an official OS X developer because, I really don't need pre-released software.
    Also, since all I want to do is just run my own apps on my own iPhone/touch, do you really have to get the official stamp of approval for Apple to get a 'signature"? Do you have to go through Apple to even distribute your apps, even if you may or may not sell them?
    Finally, is there anyway to get a file to your iPhone application to read outside of adding it to your application's resources, or create a socket and read it in?
    Thanks,

    I signed up to be an iPhone developer two days ago and today I have my app running on my iPhone. It takes less than a day to get signed up. BUT, you need to watch out for one thing. When I originally placed my order for the $99 SDK I seemed to have checked some tax related checkbox I shouldn't have. The order completed as expected. But 36 hours later I had no email showing the order and I wasn't accepted yet. So I logged into my account on the Apple online store and looked at my order history. Sure enough, my order had a big red flag (not literally) stating I needed to fax in some tax exemption form. What? So I called the 800 number on the bottom of the screen. Since I'm an individual this shouldn't have been required. The guy on the phone sent me over to the small business dept who took care of the issue and the next day I had all my emails showing I was in the program.
    So if you sign up these days and it takes more than a day, check your order status.
    Enjoy,
    Rick

  • How long does it take to back up??

    I have just downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software and when I connected my curve 9300 it begins the back up. The problem is it seems to get stuck on RMS Databases 12 of 13 records. I cancelled the first go after 20 minutes and the second go was still stuck 40 minutes later. Am I just being impatient or is there a problem???

    Fiona, in the Desktop Software, go to Device > Backup > Select Data and UNselect the RMS database to backup.
    Click to proceed and see if the remaining backup runs ok?

  • TS3991 how long does icloud take to sink? My scrolling Icaon has been up for half an hour

    I am loading I cloud on a new windows 8 system. CThe scrolling icon has been loading for over a half hourIs this normal.

    I went to Apple Chat and they lead me through a power down and start up with Recovery Disc Utility (Hold down  Apple and R keys when powering up).
    Then was instructed to run Disk Recovery and it showed HD was error free. Then a reboot started up fine to desktop and showed update to 10.9.2 had been installed. I am guessing the internet connection my have been interrupted during the install.
    Apple Chat folks are awesome and a short wait too.

    Sounds about right. Good luck.

  • How long does it take to get my X61 checked from water spill?

    Hi,
    I had spilled some water into my X61 yesterday.
    Though I instantly shut it down and try to clean, I was too stupid to try to boot it in ten minutes.
    Not sure if it is "OK" right now....
    Does anyone have the same experience?
    Could you share how long does it take you to have your laptop shipped and checked at lenovo repair center?
    Thanks a lot!

    do you have accidental damage warranty? if you don't then you will incur a hefty bill. The check up should not take more than 5 days including shipping, provided that no parts need to changed, if there is parts that are required, then depending on the parts availability, you could wait up to a month or two.
