  • My Passport has been cleaning up for two hours now

    I went to go back up my computer for the first time in two years and it stopped at 503 GB of 750 GB to clean up. It's been like this for two hours now. Is this normal?

    I found my Time Machine backups getting severely stuck over a clash with Spotlight.
    I found it helpful to deliberately use:
    System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy ...
    ... and put the Time Machine drive on Spotlight's "Do Not Index" list, as Time Machine directs Spotlight to calculate its own special index of any Time Machine drive.

  • I'm charging my iPad. But everytime it goes to turn on it will just turn off right away. This has been going on for two hours now. What do I do?

    I'm charging my iPad. But everytime it goes to turn on it immediately shuts off. This has been going on for two hours. What do I do?

    First, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If yes, it may not be charging properly. Be sure you are using the charger that came with the iPad. The iPad 2 requires a 10W charger. If you are using a different charger, including the one that came with an iPhone, it will charge very slowly if at all.
    Also try charging a different device with the charger to be sure it and the cable are working properly.

    if you can not unlock your ipad, you need to plug it into itunes and do a restore.
    If it will not ben able to restore you need to put it in dfu mode (holding down power and home for 10 seconds untill the screen goes completly blank) and then itunes will say it is in 'recovery'. Try that

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

  • Mavericks has been downloading for 4 hours, is that normal?

    Mavericks has been downloading for 4 hours, is that normal?

    Depends on your internet connection speed - I've heard of fast and slower. It is a huge file: about 5 GB; with my connection it takes at least 2.5 hours. What is your connection speed?
    Edit: based on your second post, you are downloading Mountain Lion update (shown at the bottom) and are trying to download Mavericks at the same time? Can't download two OS versions at the same time. So, wait until you have the Mountain Lion updated and installed and then try Mavericks again.

  • My iPod has been backing up for an hour

    My iTunes has been acting up a lot lately, and not letting my iPod connect. Now that it's conecting the backing up process has taken an hour, and it isn't done yet. It's been on step 2 of 7 for an hour now and I don't know how to speed it up, or what to do about it. It's never taken this long before, and I haven't dowloaded a bunch of new apps, and I haven't downloaded any new songs, since the last time it was backed up. Any help?

    It shouldn't take this long.  Stop the sync.
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I purchased a book through iTunes and it downloaded. I synced with my iPad. It shows the book is downloading but that has been going on for two hours and i still can't open the book.

    I purchased a book through iTunes. I then synced my iPad and went to iBooks. I clicked on the book and it shows downloading but that has been going on for almost two hours and i still can't open the book. What gives? I have done this before no problem.

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Or you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I tried updating my ipod touch to iOS6 then an unknown error occured so i disconnected it an now it is stuck on the apple sign and has a loading sign and has been like this for 2 hours. what can i do?

    I tried updating my ipod touch to iOS6 then an unknown error occured so i disconnected it an now it is stuck on the apple sign and has a loading sign and has been like this for 2 hours. what can i do?
    My home button is also unresponsive and i have to press it really hard to make it work.

    Do you remember the the exact wording of the error message:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
