Is it odd that the back-up/retreival process takes  hours on my iphone4 or am I doing something wrong?

I need help understanding how the icloud back-up/retreival process works and how to use it at maximum efficiency

Welcome to the Apple community.
You must remember, that whilst you see Internet speeds quoted as say 8, 12, 16, 30 Mb per second etc, this refers to download speed. most service providers will give you around 1 Mb per second as upload speed. At these speeds a gigabyte of information will take around about 2 1/4 hours to upload.
So in answer to your question, no I don't think you are doing anything wrong.

  • HT1766 My iCloud back up estimates a waiting time of 21 hours, is this accurate or am I doing something wrong?

    I wonder if im doing something wrong. The phone is plugged into the power outlet and occasionally I check to see if it progresses. I am doing it manually thru the icloud section.

    >When you use the includeIn command, by default the object will only be created when it is needed. Hence, you will execute a creationComplete

    So are you saying there is a better way or another way to do that? Or are you just telling me that's how it works? Because I know that the includeIn isn't creating the other buttons untill they are needed. I need them created when the button is created. That is my question, how do I get the other states to be created when the button is created so that I don't see the button flash black?

    Sorry, I missed that when cleaning up the code to ask for help.

  • How come I complete my album but the original single stays separate? What's the point completing the album if I can't then listen to it? Am I doing something wrong? The album was released after the single.

    I have used complete my album a few times and each time the single I bought first - before getting the option to complete - doesn't get listed in the album. It wouldn't matter too much but usually it's the best track! Also for artists like Plan B where there is a narrative to the album you have a piece missing! Is the bottom line that unless I buy the track from the album (rather then the single) then that's how it works? If so there should be some way of fixing it?

    You might be able to do some of this with retaining the original information if you enter it into the sort ___ fields.  Never worked with those myself.

  • Why cant I listen to the entire song on my computer only on my iPod  or am I doing something wrong ?

    When I download a song from iTunes I could only listen to entire cut on my iPod. I would like to listen to the entire cut on my computer, is this possible ?

    What happens when trying to download or sync the content to the device?
    If it was preordered, has the song actually been released?

  • Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

    Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

    Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

  • TS2529 I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook

    If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
    For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore?  iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media.

  • How can I be sure that the back up to my time capsule has backed everything up as when I enter time capsule and interogate the back ups i can't identify individual music or picture files?

    How can I confirm that the back up to my time capsule has backed everything up as when I enter time capsule and interrogate the backs ups I can't identify individual photo or music files?

    You cannot browse a Time Machine backup with the Finder. To restore individual music files or any other files normally available in the Finder, open your Music folder then "Enter Time Machine" using the Time Machine icon.
    Restoring individual photographs is slightly more cumbersome. Apple recommends restoring the entire iPhoto Library, but if you want to locate an individual photograph you could use Time Machine to restore the old Libary. Restore it to an alternate location to avoid overwriting your existing one. Open iPhoto while holding an Option key, open the restored Library, find the photo you need and export it, close iPhoto, re-open it with your usual Library, and import the photo.
    Time Machine depends upon a number of sound engineering principles for reliable operation, one of which is "faith"
    Your files will remain intact until your Time Machine backup device becomes inoperative.

  • In OS X Mavericks using Safari, the search bar at the top that i had on the previous system disappears only reappearing in the full screen. Do i have to go into full screen every time? Bit of a pain but no doubt I'm doing something wrong!

    Those are all fine
    Here is how to see RAM overloaded…
    Reboot to see the system in it's default state.
    Open TextEdit for the sake of it
    Open Activity Monitor & Terminal from /Applications/Utilities.
    Select the Memory tab
    In Terminal enter the following command
    memory_pressure -l critical
    # note that is a lowercase L
    RAM usage will climb, compression will begin the VM will become way more than the system has installed.
    Eventually the system will start swapping  (look for RED) - Watch the 'memory pressure' & 'Swap used' as this happens.
    Try switching to TextEdit - the system is still coping !
    Switch back to Terminal & hit ctrl+c to stop the process.
    Watch the VM & memory pressure return to normal levels.
    This OS kicks 4ss !
    Your problems may lie elsewhere

  • I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

    I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the application does not accept the change, and instead automatically enters its own time. Is there a work around this? Or am I doing something wrong? Please Help!
    Thank you,
    lagrl

    Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider.  iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
    Does this help.  Perhaps you already know this ?

  • Any way to Lock the Decoration Free Label in place so that the Clean Up Diagram process doesn't move it soemplace unreasonable?

    Any way to Lock the Decoration Free Label in place so that the Clean Up Diagram process doesn't move it soemplace unreasonable? The Clean Up Diagram process moves things to very strange places and often makes the diagram more complicated than it needs to be.
    There should be a way to lock a Decoration Free Label in a location that the Clean Up Diagram will not move it somewhere else.
    Is there such a feature?
    How do you get your Decorations to stay where you put them even after Clean Up Diagram?

    Hey dbaechtel,
    There is a way to do this however you will need to put your Decoration Free Label within a structure.  Check out the following KnowledgeBase article below for more information:

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • My Camcorder shoots 24fps and I set my iMovie project at 24fps.  But when I add the clip, it's saying that the clip is at 30fps?  Am I doing something wrong?

    But when I add the clip, it's saying that the clip is at 30fps?  Am I doing something wrong?

    Let me tell you this: don't worry about it.
    No one is able to tell very easily if the video is in 24 or 30 fps. You can only see the difference between, like, 14 and 24 fps. Just dismiss it and move on. It's all fine.
    (the only time that I personally need to make sure my camera is shooting at it's highest fps, is when I will be putting the vidoe into slow motion.)
