IPhone 4 taking long to restore from iCloud backup

Hi, I'm restoring my mothers iPhone 4 (Dont know if its CDM or whatever...) and the restore is taking SUPER long, I have the iPhone 4S and it takes 6 minutes, hers takes hours... Were backing up from the same Wi-Fi and her backup is just a big larger. Right now it says 70 hours! I have a fast Internet connection...

edit: It is still on the "Restoring Settings" part of the iCloud Restore. Shes very impatient, any way i could skip this and just keep all the contacts?!

    my new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days.  I do not have all my apps or music yet.  How do I fix it?

    Hello Bernharp, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your iPhone 6 Plus is taking a long time to restore from an iCloud backup. I can understand why you'd be concerned after several days of waiting. 
    This might happen if your backup contains a lot of content such as pictures or your Wi-Fi connection isn't consistent.
    If the restore still hasn't completed, take a look at the information in the "Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time" and "A message says restore incomplete or some items could not be restored" sections of this Support article:

  • My iPhone 6 Plus won't restore from iCloud Backup

    I had backed up my iPhone 5S nightly, including an hour before I got into the apple store to get my 6 Plus.  It will not restore from iCloud to the new phone, no matter which of the old backups I choose.  Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you solve it?

    Yes, yes & yes, I am on my home wi-fi & have tried on a personal wi-fi hotspot while out, I had enough iCloud space before, but after deleting my last backup I've got loads & my phone stopped automatically backing up, so have been trying using the backup now button.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 6 been restoring from icloud backup for 9 days and still not finished?

    I got my iPhone 6 on the 19th when it came out.  It's an ATT 128 gb model.  I started restoring from icloud backup on that Friday (9 days ago).  It still is saying it's restoring from backup. Daily it's asking me to delete the data or keep downloading.  This phone is for my business, so the info is very important.  I am also worried that all the things in the last week have yet to be backed up since then, because I can't back it up till the restore is complete. I also can't do the new software update 8.0.2.  I am on a fast WIFI nearly 18+ hours a day and I can surf the net just fine, but why is my restore from 9 days ago still not finished?

    Apple:
    This needs to get improved. I had the exact same issue migrating my 5 and wife's 5S previously. It's never worked well. We need status bars, and indications of what has been copied, what remains to be copied, and ways to resume it and pause it without hoping it works and getting messages in the morning asking if you want to resume it, making you wonder if anything actually occurred overnight. The message doesn't pop up within 10 minutes of connecting to power and wi-fi so I have no idea how long it actually takes to come up.
    It's unacceptable to think any device owner wants to roll the dice and hope they have all their data. We use these devices for our jobs and that data is critical for some of us. It's not all just pictures of the dog! Even though those are critical, too!! It would be different if this wasn't a known issue and the resolution wasn't so easy...get this fixed!!!

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

  • HT201269 my new iphone 5c does not give me the option to restore from icloud backup

    I am trying to transfer the data from my old phone to my new one and my new 5c does not give me the option to restore from icloud backup
    So now what do I do

    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings.
    Once this is done, it will ask you to set your phone up again.  You can choose to restore from your iCloud backup.

  • Iphone 5s stuck on loading screen from icloud backup restore

    Just bought my phone last night and went through the setup. I selected backup from icloud and it did its thing and then restarted... now it's stuck on the loading screen with the apple logo. The loading bar is barely loaded... I figured it was because I had a lot of data to load onto the new phone. It's been 10 hours because I left it alone for the night. Please help!

    Had to have my new 5s replaced last night due to the hardware issue and had the same issue with 5s and iCloud restore, just stuck on the apple screen with a partial progress bar.   I was able to kill it and get into the phone but the restore would not finish.
    I realized that my back-ups were from iOS 7.0.4 and the new phone was at 7.0.3 and becuase the restore was in the never ending progress I could not install the latest version.
    I wiped the device,  settings -  general -  reset erase all..    and set it up a new device WITHOUT restoring from backup.    Updated the os to iOS 7.0.4 (settings - general - software update) and let it finish all the way.
    After confirming the device was at the latest iOS version I then wiped the device again, settings -  general -  reset erase all...  and set up again and selected to restore from iCloud backup.
    All is good.... restore finished and life is as it should be.

  • New phone still restoring from iCloud backup

    i have purchased a 5s four days ago, it's stating still restoring  from iCloud backup.
    my old phone 4s I backed up to cloud wifi and launched new phone data through wifi as have no computer.  it won't let me access any apps or iTunes or complete iOS 8.3 until this is completed. Help please.

    I finally got mine to work. I let the iphone run its course and it finally restored everything. I wanted to make sure I got everything back, but it didn't sync my non itunes purchased music, so I had to manually do that via the computer. By my estimates it took almost 80 hours, minus 20 of those spent at work and odd hours here and there when I wasn't connected to wifi. So about 50ish
    It is frustrating though that it took so long. Apple needs to come up with a better solution in the future. I thought this problem was solved last year with the problems that plagued the ios7 update. It will probably only get worse since iCloud storage just got upped for everyone.

  • HT1766 I had a new handset delivered today due to my old one being damaged. As I went to restore from iCloud backup it is telling me I can't due to the handset not having iOS 7.1. How can resolve this issue?

    I had a new handset delivered today due to my old one being damaged. As I went to restore from iCloud backup it is telling me I can't due to the handset not having iOS 7.1. How can I resolve this issue?
    Could I select 'Set up as New IPhone' and then update to iOS 7.1 and then proceed to restore the phone from my most recent iCloud  backup ?
    Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

    Hi again razmee209!
    It has been updating since your last message and it says there's another 6 hours to go, does this sound right or is there a possibility I've been sent a re-con and the update will slow down my new handset considerably?!

  • My phone has said its 'restoring from iCloud backup' for 2 days

    I received my brand new iPhone 6 two days ago.
    When I fired up the phone, I restored from iCloud back up that I did about 10 minutes before hand to make sure it was up-to-date.
    Two days have passed, and my phone STILL says its restoring from iCloud backup yet everything is on the phone as far as I'm aware.
    I have plugged it into my mac and synced to iTunes, yet its still displaying this message!
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    If you still have your old phone, back it up to your computer using iTunes (connect it, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Back Up and choose to back up apps and transfer purchased if prompted).  Then stop the iCloud restore (Settings>iCloud>Backup>Stop Restoring...hopefully you can still do this in iOS 8) and restore the backup on your computer (connect your new phone, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
    Be sure to save any new data you may have (such as new photos) before restoring the backup again.
