HT4061 Why does it take so long to do a back-up from itunes?

My phone has been so called restoring for literally more than 5 hours now. The reason why I choose to back up from my computer is because icloud doesn't put everything back on your phone. I was just wondering is it normal for it to take this long? By the way, I was updating my phone to iOS 7 from iOS 6.1.4.

I have noticed this here on several machines in our office, all running Leopard.
I just did a test and subscribed to the same 16.8MB podcast on a machine running 10.4.11 and another running 10.5.8.
The Tiger raced straight through and downloaded at a constant rate, taking about 15 seconds.
The Leopard raced until 1.2MB downloaded and then slowed to a crawl, going up 0.1MB every 10 or 15 seconds.
Very strange. I've noticed the Leopards were having similar problems doing downloads through the Software Update utility.
I compared downloading an update from Support Downloads in Safari and there is no problem.
So (for me) this issue is applying to Leopard rather than Tiger, and only to downloads via SU and ITunes, not regular http downloads through a browser.

  • Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.

  • Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Hi first off if your running  fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
    as you now have a mix up between Qmasters  which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
    i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again  as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
    Here
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
    but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
    really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
    any way
    once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
    get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
    if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab  and setup up a quick cluster etc
    On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
    i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
    thanks

  • What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!

    What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
    This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
    I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
    Chime in.

    The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING!  Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL.  I can't.  But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
    Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support".  These are very valid comments.  But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL.  In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
    At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users.  Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost?  That's up for individuals to decide.
    I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

  • Why does it take so long to recognize my camera?

    I have a Canon EOS Rebel XS.  When I plug it in, iPhoto jumps up and is in front on the screen, as it should, but then it takes 8 or 10 minutes for it to be identified and booted up into the sidebar. I just watch the wheels turn and the red light flicker, but it takes EIGHT or MORE minutes to be recognized!! And, sometimes the camera times itself out. Here is my question . . . WHY WHY WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO BE RECOGNIZED?!?!?!!? I could deal with 30 seconds, but this is just ridiculous. Is this a Canon issue? A driver issue? Heaven forbid, an Apple issue?  Does anybody have any insight on this or the same kind of experience?
    Mike

    Next time you import reformat the card with the Camera - remember this will erase the card, so make sure you've emptied it first. Oh, and the use of block capitals is very impressive. Doesn't make it look like a tantrum at all.

  • On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
    Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
    In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
    Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
    In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
    You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
    Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
    If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

    Why does it take so long to download movies

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Why does syncing take so long? 2GB is taking 215 hours

    Why does syncing take so long? 2GB is taking 215 hours

    Thats a fair enough comment, but I would have thought that syncing a mere 2GB of data, 215 hours seems a bit ridiculous, especially as it's not explained very well on the Adobe Cloud exactly what syncing is and how it benefits me. My internet connection is BT broadband and my download speed is 10 Mb/s, upload is 0.261 Mb/s crap I know.

  • Why does it take so long to upload? Am I doing something wrong?

    At the moment it takes a few hours(!) to upload about ten pages on one site. Just pictures. iPhoto used to publish within five minutes. Why does it take so long? Am I doing something wrong, like having it on a weird setting? It looks beautiful, but not very impressed with iWeb functionality as of yet.

    don't know if i can downgrade the file sizes, am just selecting the photos in iphoto and then clicking iweb so it should do it automatically. it shouldn't take hours though should it? the site address is web.mac.com/adilamin/iWeb but there is no problem with accessing the site and loading the pics, its just the uploading from iWeb.

  • Why does it take so long to delivery?!

    Ordered my Macbook pro today. Dispatch date for the whole order is 1-3 business days. Delivery estimate is 19th - 23rd January (today is the 31st December!!) so why does it take so long for the courier to deliver?? That's over 3 weeks away and a long time between dispatch and delivery!

    I'm lucky enough there is one in Southampton where I live and there are two in Bristol where I study so I could easily go and pick one up! Infact I think there is a store within an hours drive of anyone in the UK now, plus there are official Apple stalls (with Apple staff and Genius bar) in most electronic superstores. So not too hard to find!
    However, the issue is that I'll be paying for my Pro through finance (Barclays in the UK) so I don't really want to have to cancel that as they do a credit check on you and I'm afraid applying for finance again would affect my rating so I'm not too keen on doing that.
    And before any of you suggest it, my finance has already been approved and Barclays will credit Apple within one business day (Tuesday, after the New Year public holiday on Monday) so this is not a reason for the delivery to be slowed up.
    Out of interest I went onto the store again and added all my items to the basket. I ordered a MacBook Pro (standard 2.4 GHz 500GB model), Microsoft Office for Mac and Apple Care under university pricing and the delivery estimate was for the 4th January. So I'm wondering what could have possibly delayed my order!!

  • Why does it take so long to receive your itunes receipt

    When you buy something on itunes why does it take so long to receive the receipt??

    Because the receipt usually gathers all your purchases over the course of a week or so and combines them into one receipt. Do you really want a receipt for every app or song you download??
