HT5262 How long should the icloud back up take?

How long should the iCloud back up take? I only have 4gb of storage but it has taken almost an hour already with approximately 2 hours remaining. 

Hi RMaskery14,
If you are concerned about the time your iCloud backup is taking, you may find the following article helpful:
My backup is taking a long time to finish.
Backing up and restoring takes time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your network, you may need more time than expected to complete the process. Using a reliable connection when backing up your device is highly recommended.

  • How long should the download for Maverick take?

    I am updating to Mavericks and the download is going on for quite a while.  Since there is no progress bar (only the button which says "Downloading"), I am not sure if anything is happening.  How long should I wait?
    Thanks

    It's almost 6 GB, and the download speed depends on your broadband connection. If you open LaunchPad, or look in the Applications folder for the installer, there will be a progress bar you can watch to see the status of the download.

  • How long should the Repository Creation Utility take for Oracle Portal?

    I'm running the Oracle Repository Creation Utility (RCU) as a precursor to installing WebCenter, and the schema creation process is stuck on the "Portal" step. The first 10-12 steps each took less than 30 seconds to complete, and the last step has been going for 2 hours 14 minutes.
    I checked the rcu log files, and they are constantly being updated with new progress information as though the process is still working. I haven't been able to find anyone else on the internet with this problem. From various screenshots on google, it looks like it can complete in under 10 minutes in some cases.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Is it showing some error ?
    Check with DB settings and parameters properly.Usaully it should not take long time to complete.Possible chances are corrupt rcu file.I would suggest download again the RCU and re-run it.
    Anyways in which version of DB you are trying to install ?(vendor and version).
    Which version of RCU you are using ?

    Are you referring to Apple Care?  It should update within a minute.
    Where did you buy it?  You have to be careful if you got a code from eBay or similar "retailers"...

  • How long should the Mac Book pro hold its charge???

    How long should the Mac Book pro hold a  battery charge??

    For a single use or how long will the battery last until it needs to be replaced?  For single use, it depends on what you are doing when using you mac.  I find that when using mine I get about 6-6 1/2 hours just using it to browse the internet before I need to recharge it.  If it is one of the newer Macbook Pros that claim to have a 7 hour battery life, It can last up to 5 years.  See this article on notebook batteries to get the most out of your battery: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html.  Hope this helps

  • TA44686 how long should the disconnect message display

    I connected my ipod to my computer and the do not disconnect message doesn't go away. How long should the message show

    Mine took about an hour or so but it mostly depends on your modem and processor speeds. You can check the progress by clicking your iphone on the left and then checking the download progress. As long as that is moving I would just leave it and wait but don't let your computer shut down.

  • HT4796 how long should the migration take

    how long should the PC to Mac migration take

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It depends on the amount of files you are transferring and the method you are using to transfer your files (Wi-Fi or Ethernet). Both methods are slow and migration would take hours if you need to transfer a lot of files.
    I only recommend you to use Windows Migration Assistant if you need to transfer a small amount of files. If not, it is much better to copy your files to an external drive and transfer them to your Mac

  • How long does the number porting process take?

    Hello Everybody! I just got my iphone (witch I LOVE it by the way) but I was wondering, how long does the number porting process take?
    I ported my phone number over from SprintPCS last night at around 7pm EST and right now it's 8am EST and my Palm seems to still be working... Is this normal?
    I'm still receiving incoming calls to my Palm, Text messages to my Palm, but yet I can do outgoing calls from my iphone... I'm kinda confused...
    I mean I received the text on my iphone from sprint telling me: "Welcome to AT&T" as well as receiving the e-mail saying my new phone number is the same one I've had for 6 years now... Is 13 hours considered normal?
    Thanx! :-D

    QueenYvette,
    If it continues to be an issue tomorrow, I would recomend calling again, and getting in contact with AT&T's porting department. They are familiar with resolving any issues that may arise.
    Powering off both phones is to make sure that the old phone is not maintaining an active connection with the old carrier that can interfere with the last steps of the porting process. If at all possible its a good idea to leave the old phone powered off, and restart the new phone about once an hour so that it will resync with the towers.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • HT5262 how long does the back up take?

    How long does the back up take?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It depends of the space your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad has to back up on iCloud. You can see what's backed up in Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, and select the backup, so you will be able to choose what you want to back up. The device will back up automatically when it's connected to the power adapter

  • HT204655 how long should the update and subsequent uploading take (to start)?

    I am trying to upload my photos to photo (icloud) from my old macbook pro (2010) and it has been over 24 hours since i started and it is still showing 'updating...'?
    How long should this take? I have tried the usual - restart photo; restart mac; turn off and on icloud upload.
    the file is about 9000 iphone photos and 100 short videos.
    Thanks for any help.

    How long is a piece of string?
    Essentially it should not take too long (in my experience 20 minutes max from start to finish) although there are many, many factors that can affect the time taken to download and install the upgrade. Namely the reliability of your broadband connection, reliability of your router/firewall; reliability of the wireless connection (assuming you connect to your router wirelessly); downstream bandwidth supplied to your location by your ISP; the 'health' of your iMac; how much disk space for example? This is not an exhaustive list by any means.
    If it's any help I would try the wired connection (ethernet) rather than wireless, I would log into your router's interface and double-check it's maintaining a good connection - if necessary reboot the router and try the upgrade again. Try and make sure there's only you using it at the time you do the upgrade.
