Restore going to take 70 hours???

Hi! Thanks in advance for any advice.
I am doing a full restore on the advice of ATT and Apple to see if it resolves some antenna and call quality issues.  When I plugged in to do the restore, it is now saying that it is going to take 70 hours!!!!! (and that number has steadily risen since I plugged the phone in and keeps rising).  I'm going to have to unplug my phone at some point to go out.  What can I do???? Please help!

Jeez! The restore depends on your internet connection. But it may be also something to do with the iPhone. Do you have any other devices connected to your wireless network? You may want to reset your router and modem and try the restore again.

  • I'm trying to restore my iPod and the update says it's going to take 9 hours and then after 2 hours or less it will say something about "unable to finish update." Why is this?? My iPod is a 3rd generation that I got from my brother.

  • TS1424 Hi, I've just rented a video, which says its going to take 14 hours to download. The 48 hours it gives you to watch the video has already started an hour ago. I had a message which says that I can start watching the film now but it dosen't play. Pl

    Hi,
    I've just rented a movie, which claims its going to take 14 hours to download. Its still at it after 1 hour. To make matters worse, the 48 hours it gives you to watch it has already started and charged me an hour. There was a message to say I could start watching it now but it dosen't work. Please can you help?

    You'll have to wait till it downloads much further than. If your download says it will take 14 hours to download, you have a very slow connection. You would never be able to watch the movie until it downloads completly.

  • Can I uninstall iTunes as it is going to take 5 hours to update?

    Can I uninstall iTunes and reinstall  as it is going to take 5 hours to update? Will I loose everything?

    You can skip updating the iPad Software if you just want to sync it.
    The Software Update itself should take no more than 20 minutes to install, so it sounds like your internet connection must be quite slow as iTunes must download the update before installing it.

  • I've never run verify disk permissions before, but I finally have, and it says it's going to take an hour and 35 minutes to complete.

    Although it keeps actively finding problems with the disk, the progress bar hasn't changed for more than a half an hour, and it still says it's going to take an hour and 35 minutes. I'm starting to worry it will never be done! My laptop, a Macbook Pro, is pretty old - about five years, and I don't know if the fact that I've never run a verify disk permissions before has anything to do with it.
    The only non-greyed out option is to currently 'stop permission verify'.

    Just let it run, it probably won't take that long. Also you may benefit from reading Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.

  • New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

    My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network

  • ICloud backup is going to take 20 hours!!

    Hi folks,
    Hope you can help with two iCloud problems.
    1) iTunes was happily running on a Vista laptop.  Everything worked fine.  I removed the hard drive and installed a bigger hard drive running Windows 7.  Installed iTunes (ver 11.1.5.5) on the new hard drive.  I was able to swap the old and new hard drives to get the laptop to boot into Vista (old HDD) or Win 7 (new HDD).
    I now get a message using the new HDD that if I want to synch my iPhone, it will delete the content on the phone and it will synch with the new iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I don't want to do that.  What I want to do is backup the phone to iTunes on the new hard disk and add another album which I am trying to rip and import from CD (subject of another question in the iTunes forum).
    2) the last iCloud backup was in January (using the old hard disk).  When I try to do an iCloud backup on the new hard disk, it is telling me it will take 20 hours !!!
    I have backed up the phone to my pc using the iTunes installation on the new hard drive.
    For both questions, the old hard drive is non-bootable - Windows Vista has scr*wed up and although I can browse the files and folders on the drive when I use it as an external HDD, when I swap it into my laptop, Windows boots to a black screen with an arrow cursor and won't do anything else (and no, it won't boot into Safe Mode either, nor will Windows Recovery Centre sort it out) - sad times!
    Any help gratefully received. Treat me as a 'noob' and please give any instructions in clear, step-by-step manner (assuming complete ignorance on my part).
    Thanks in advance,
    RB

  • TS3623 why is it suddenly so slow?  going to take 1 hour 36 minutes to load Looper?  It's never been like that the last many years.  What happened?

    What happened to Apple TV?
    It now wants to take 1 hour 36 minutes to load before I can watch Looper?
    It's never been like that before until the latest update a few days ago.
    What went wrong?
    Did anyone from inside Apple say anything?
    Help.  I want to get back to my movies and I don't have 2 hours to wait.

    I finally unplugged the ATV and plugged it back in and it fixed itself.  Thank you.  Don't understand why the update reboot did not do this automatically.

  • TS3992 I started an icloud backup and it said it was going to take 65 hours... are you kidding me?

    I started my first iCloud back up this weekend and it said estimated time is 65 hours. I don't have that amount of time to keep it in one place connected to the same WiFi. I do have to leave my house at some point. I need help!

  • Why, 4 the love of my sanity is it going to take 4 hours 2 download itunes?

    Ahh, please help.
    My brother in law has handed me a brand new iPod nano complete with lead and a load of CDs and asked me to marry the two together.
    Ok, i say to myself, no wucking forries, ah, but that would be too simple i say.
    Using the instructions i go to the start page and am told to download the latest version of itunes.
    I click on the download button and 1.5hrs later i'm here banging my head on the desk with frustration as i still have another 2.5 hours to go, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    I have an older computer that we've upgraded with odds and sods including high speed data ports blah de blah but we don't have broadband because frankly we don't use the computer enough to warrant it.
    Anyhoo, is it normal to take this long because within the next 30 mins the whole lot, including brother in laws ipod is going out the window.
    Thanks guys and gals, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    could be a couple of things. I downloaded it the other day on a very old computer and it only took about 15 mins. As the other person said, it could be internet speed. But your speed seems ok, unless that is not correct. You cannot beleive what the comp. says about speed. My comp. says 10mb/sec, utter bs. We live out in the country, no dsl here.
    The other problem could be your comp. Have you defraged it lately? Do you have enough room and memory? Maybe other programs like auto updates are working at the same time. Maybe just a staticy ph line.
