IPhone 4 has been backing up to computer for over 12 hours HELP

My iPhone 4 has been backing up for over 12hours and is only at step 2 of 6! Is this normal. It has never been backed up. Surely this is taking too long though?

The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

    I would suggest uninstalling the app, if it is app that you install, or buy. I also think that you should try getting a ipod touch trouble shooting book.

  • I'm trying to manually activate my jet pack, but when I connect to 'my.jetpack' the screen has been saying it's activating for over an hour now.

    It is just stuck at the activating screen on my jet pack and my.jetpack. I've tried restarting it, using a different browser, connecting to 192.168.1.1, and connecting it by tether and wireless.

        Hello mcyork.
    I'm sorry you are experiencing a delay when activating your Jetpack. Because you are using a Jetpack, it is important to ensure that your SIM card is correctly installed. Which model Jetpack do you have? If you are still unable to activate the device, please try powering down and removing and reinserting the LTE SIM card. Please keep us updated.

    My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help. when i try to restore it says "Your iphone could not be activated becuase the activation server is unavailable, If the problom presests goto apple.com/support"   It has done this for 27 hours now PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
    - Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • During restore my 3GS has been stuck in Apps loading for over 30 minutes now.. Any suggestions? Thanks

    During restore my 3GS has been stuck in Apps loading for over 30 minutes now.. Any suggestions? Thanks ps.. I am holding off buying 4S until bugs worked out..

    The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
    If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
    In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
    The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
    Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity

  • Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Backing up my Iphone 4S - it has been running the back up in itunes for over 14 hours. Is this NORMAL??

    I am backing up my Iphone 4S so, I can transfer all my data, numbers, apps, etc to my new Iphone 5. Although I have synced my 4S with itunes before, and I updated the iOS last week, I have never ran a back-up on it. I have had this phone for over a year, it has about 11 GB of storage used. UGH....It has been running this back up for over 14 HOURS!
    Is it normal for it to take this long? If it is, how much longer is the back up going to take?
    If it's not, what do I do????

    IIf you previously had items backing up to the iCloud, changing to the new phone will take a while depending on how much data and apps your restoring to the new phone. If your like me with 1,000's of pics and videos, it's gonna take a while. Make sure your phone I plugged in, your on wifi and let it do its things. If you see all your apps updating, then it's doing something. If this is not your issue, then it could be the phone froze up. I have the 6 plus and recently switched from the 5, and it took a long time to restore from the cloud. Restoring from iTunes is quicker I guess, but I didn't have that option at the time and was dying to use the new phone I eaitrd 2 weeks for. Anyways, good luck and I hope I answered something for you.

    How do I sync this iPhone 4s to his laptop? The phone was stolen last week and everything was deleted. I've been trying for over an hour to get it to sync.

    That"s part of my problem, I dont get that option.
    I get iTunes store and that's about it.

  • HT1657 I have rented a movie from iTunes but it has said that it is 'processing' for over 12 hours now, has it crashed?

    I rented the new Thor film, which took an hour to download and has been processing ever since. This was 12 hours ago. My internet connection is fine as my wifi is working for everything else, what do I do?

    i have the same trouble. I downloaded a movie, now i cannot find it in my library and i don't have a rental tab nor do i find it under any other tabs in the itunes library. When i try to download it again it asks me if i want to rent it again?

  • Been without any phone service for over 8 hours

    There is no way to report the outage online as the diagnostic does not show anything.  All of Chihuahua Valley in Warner Springs, California has not had phone service for over 8 hours and Verizon will not admit a problem despite numerous phone calls from friends who are outside the community and have phone service.  One of the neighbours was told there are no reports of an outage and was told that she could make an appointment for a tech to come out on the 15th!!!!!  Well if anyone at Verizon is reading this then get off your **bleep** and get this fixed.   951 767

    Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
    If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

  • HT1386 When I try to skip the backing up portion of syncing my iPhone by pressing the X option, nothing happens. I've been trying to let iTunes back up my phone for over an hour and nothing's happening

    How can I skip the backing up? I just want to add more music to my phone and it's been backing up for far too long

    Nevermind, I solved the problem. FCPX isn't showing me that it's rendering or whatever it's doing, but after about ten minutes the files show up. Still, any idea why it gives no indication that it's working?
