How long should Restore from iCloud take on iPhone 6?

I have just purchased a new iPhone 6 and after downloading whatsapp, the restore from iCloud function is currently active for 32060 messages and 3421 photos, but has been for the last 12 hours and is now frozen on 91%.
I am not sure how to access my whatsapp now as I cannot seem to exit the restore from iCloud function but it will not proceed forward with the restore.
Is there any way for me to resolve this?

Hello Mark,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see you're concerned about the time for how long it's taking for your iPhone to restore from iCloud. There's no set time for completion of an iCloud backup, as the time does vary based on how much content needs to be restored.
The restore process is taking a long time to finish
The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
If you're traveling between countries, the restore process might take longer than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.

HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

HT1176 how long should an initial backup take?

How long should an initial backup take?

If the Mac is connected to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection, the backup will proceed on average at about 30-35 GB per hour.
So, if you have 100 GB to backup, the process will be approximately 3 hours.
Bets are off with a backup using wireless, but it will likely be at least 3-4 times longer than the wired Ethernet connection.

How long should upgrade to Yosemite take?

I have downloaded Yosemite from the AppStore and on my initial attempt to install got to the point of having a grey screen with apple in the middle and a progress bar which stopped about 1/4th the way to completion. I let it run overnight after reading posts online indicating that it should resolve itself with time. After over 12 hours, I restarted the late 2012 MacBook Air and it would immediately go back to the same point in the installation. I then booted to the recovery disk and restored Maverick from my TimeMachine. I have tried to install again and have been stuck in the same spot for over 12 hours. I've tried entering Command-L to observe the log file with no change in what is being displayed. How long should I wait?

Install after download seems to take around a half hour. Of course it will depend on your hardware.

Why so long to restore from iCloud back-up? (new iPhone 6)

I am setting up my new iPhone 6 and the 'Restoring from iCloud backup' stage has continued for at last 6 hours. From all appearances, the iPhone is successfully set up. It's slowing down the device significantly, especially for anything that needs to access the Internet. Should I be concerned?

How much data did you have in the cloud? What is your internet connection speed? If lots of photos and movies and such then it could take a while if you have a slow connection, Though 6 hours is ridiculous. I'd unplug and start over.

How long should Loading Installation Information take with a formatted Drive?

The OS was corrupted when installed over an incompatible 10.6 version of Centrify. It should have been uninstalled prior to installing Lion, so I was hoping to do a fresh install without restoring anything related to older applications to sort out network hang conditions. Restoring from Time Machine does not appear to offer selective restore in terms of Apps and Users.
I am now waiting for more than hour at a window over the prompt "To set up the installation of Mac OS X 10.7, click Continue" that says:
To download and restore Mac OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple. This just has a throbber spinning in front of the message
Loading Installation Information... " I have about 16mbit/sec Internet connectivity, how long should this phase of the reinstall operation take?
When I first installed Lion, a bootable image of the initial version of Lion was made that was able to restore Lion to an erased drive in about 28 minutes. It seems that image has been disabled by changes the MacBook boot flash. Is there a way to be better prepared, and how long should this process take starting with an erased drive?

Sorry to hear that saga. This time download another Lion installer from MAS by going to purchases and holding the option key. When downloaded it will appear in /Applications. Save it off to several different places on your disk and off.
Also, consider keeping bootable clones with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
That way if you have a problem, just boot up from the clone and keep on working until you're ready to fix.

How long should my iPad 3 take to charge

How long should it take my iPad with retina display to charge? It takes about 15 hours to charge now from being dead.

FYI
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

HT201269 how do i restore from iCloud on new phone?

I have a new 4s that I got from the AT&T store.
They got me up and running by getting my contacts downloaded.
Now I've hooked up to iPhone to restore from iCloud.
Do I want to restore or do I want to back up?
I can't figure out how to get my music to migrate to my new phone.
I have backed up my old phone to the cloud.
I don't seem to be getting the automatic prompts all the articles talk about and I think it's because at the store they only did contacts.

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

HT3805 If I have 500,000 images, how long should a library rebuild take?

I have close to 500k images and had to do a library rebuild. It took over 10 hours, but never stopped. Now that it has processes all the photos, it is still saying processing and I'm just waiting. How long should I wait?

40 hours.
Seriously.
It will finish.
There's not much else you can do. If you stop the process, you just have to start over.

How to get notes from icloud to new iphone.

All my old iphone 4S 'notes' are stored in icloud. When I synced up my new iphone 5 it did not transfer the last ten months of notes onto the phone, just everything prior to that. So I'm nervous if I back up the notes I've made since, it may overwrite what is already on icloud. Can anyone give me advice on how to transfer the rest of my notes from icloud onto my iphone 5, or how to get them all together again?

On your phone. If you have Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud, and also had notes on the phone prior to turning on this setting, you should have two accounts in the notes app: On My iPhone and iCloud (listed as your iCloud ID).
Did you have notes on your phone prior to turn on Notes in Settings>iCloud? Is Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud now?

How can i signout from icloud in my iphone without starting my phone?

..

Your phone must be running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up in order to restore the backup. If the backup was made on a device running iOS 7, you will have to update your phone to iOS 7 in order to restore the backup.
This explains how to update your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623. After updatine it, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then follow the setup assistant screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.
