IPhone Restore: How long does it take?

My iPhone needs to be restored. How long does it take to restore and then restore the iPhone from the backup?

Hard to say, it depends on your iphone model, the data to back up and the number of apps installed adding their part of data to the backup.
If you copy all the pictures from the camera roll before and delete the original files, it should be under one hour, close to 30min using a 3G. Also transfer your videos before you start.
See what else is part of the backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • HT1349 erasing iphone data, how long does it take?

    I have literally deleting data from my iphone 3G for the past 12 hours.  Is it normal to take this long or it is messed up?  Please let me know asap.

    Depending on the amount of data on your iPhone and its storage size, it can take a long time to overwrite the iPhone's data.
    Check this out -> iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'
    Devices that overwrite memory: Overwrites user settings and information, writing a series of ones to the data partition. This process can take several hours, depending on the storage capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch. During this time, the device displays the Apple logo and a progress bar.
    If you think there is a problem, try resetting the iPhone.

    how long does it take for Iphone 5 battery to drain? its stuck in recovery mode

    Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

  • How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software on a 5s?

    How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software in a iPhone?

    There are three major portions involved in a restore:
    1.  Downloading the latest copy of iOS to your Mac for installation on the iPhone.
    2.  Installing the software from your Mac onto the iPhone.
    3.  Restoring all the contents of your iPhone (except iOS, which was done in the above step).
    Step 1 will depend on your Mac's download speed.  We are talking about downloading more than 1GB.
    Step 2 should take about 10 minutes or less.
    Step 3 will depend on how much personal stuff (e.g., apps, photos, music) you had on your iPhone.  It might take minutes, or an hour or more.

    How long does it take to update the iPhone 4?

        Interesting question, beachn! If I understand correctly, you're trying to see how long it will take to update the software/operating system of an iPhone 4. If that's the case, the during of a software update will depend greatly on the speed of your computer and/or your phone. I've seen the process vary from 4 minutes to an hour. If I did not understand correctly, please describe what you mean by update. Thanks!

    i have had to restore my ipad 2 how long does it take and its only two weeks old

    Depends on what method you chose to restore, wifi or itunes. Speed of internet and of computer. Whether you're restoring to factory settings or from a backup. There are many factors involved.
    Without knowing any other info, I would plan on anywhere from 30min. to 2hrs

  • How long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase

    how long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase? I used a $15 gift card, it was redeemed, and it showed up in my itunes account on my phone but after buying songs, the credit did not decline from 15, even after I restarted itunes on my phone.

    Nt sure on O2, but that seems to be a long time, you need to call your carrier and make sure they dont need to activate it. I believe they do.

  • How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped?

    How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped. I ordered my iphone on sept 20 6:00 pm and right next to the "preparing to ship" it still says 7-10 days and apple already took the money out of my account?

    Apple.com has notoriously given very accurate assessments of their ship dates.  Keep checking back there for updates.  The place to look is in the Store ... find the "Account" button near the upper right.
