Sync taking 2 hours

I got an new iPhone 4 because my lock button broke and they replaced it for free. When I plugged it into iTunes it has been over 2 hours and my iPhone is still not done syncing? Why is it taking so long and is this normal? What can I do?

The first sync will take a long time, because since you have a new iPhone, iTunes is copying everything onto your iPhone the way it was with your previous iPhone.
Syncs usually don't take this long because there aren't very many changes during a typical sync, so thus they usually only take a few minutes.
Let iTunes do its thing and once it's done, your iPhone will be back the way it was before.

  • Sync - Back Up... taking 5+ hours

    the Back Up process of Sync is taking 5+ hours to do. it usually gets 1/2 way and than the rest takes hours on hours. nothing really changed, maybe a couple of new pictures taken. this happens all the time.

    Have you installed firmware version 2.2?
    If so, how many 3rd party apps do you have installed that create and store data which you use on a regular basis? All 3rd party app settings and all data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup.
    Do you have the FaceBook app installed? If so, it has been reported here by a number of people using this app that deleting the app from the iPhone resolves the long backup problem. If you have this app installed, try deleting the app from your iPhone followed by syncing to see if your backup time improves.

  • Why is it taking 4 hours to sync my phone with Icloud, why is it taking 4 hours to sync my phone with Icloud

    Why is it taking 4 hours to sync my iphone with Icloud, when i only have 99 songs and about 15 apps?

    iCloud does not sync media and only backs up apps. Why do you believe it is taking 4 hours to sync?  Does the device actually say it is syncing?
    Is the device plugged into external power during this time?  If it is not, Wi-Fi is turning off and the device is reverting to the slower cellular network.

  • Syncing over 1 hour just for contacts?

    Last night I connected my iPhone to the computer to sync. An hour later it was still syncing contacts. I cancelled the sync. This morning I tried again. It has been 30 minutes and it is still syncing contacts, which is the first thing it said it was syncing. I downloaded the new software last night. It's either getting "stuck" syncing, or taking forever.
    This iPhone also has the volume control issue. I did a restore a couple of days ago, with no backing up, to make it basically a new phone. So, I have a newly restored phone purchased two weeks ago with the new software, and it won't sync. Any ideas?
    (sigh)

  • Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?

    Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?  After 2 full hours I have downloaded 240 MB!
    I realize my Internet speed of 2.5 Mbit/sec is not blistering, but it is the fastest available to me at my rural location.  It easily manages 8 to 10 GBs of material from other sites.
    There are no other users on the system and no other downloads taking place.  I am using a wired connection (not WiFi).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am using iTunes and as I pointed out in my query, I am using the fastest connection available to me.
    From other sites a file of 1.31 GB would take me less than 40 minutes!

  • My iPad has been syncing for 18   hours since I am trying to do the iCloud thing.  What happens if I stop the back up process? Getting tired of waiting for it to get done.  Could this be caused by the fact that I have 5gb of photos on the iPad ?

    My  iPad has been syncing for 18 hours / back up process since I tried to work with the iCloud.  Some items ie., contacts are synced to my new iPhone 4si and also books from the app store and also kindle stuff is okay.  No photos yet.  iPad has 5 gb of photos on it.  What happens if I stop the back up/sync process before it completes? Does it mess up my iPad??? Thanks

    You need to get rid of MacKeeper (Zeobit).  Do not use their uninstaller, follow the instructions here ...

    When that is done there does not appear to be a lot wrong if you correct the red ink entries.
    The 4Gb is sufficient for Yosemite though 6 or 8 Gb would be better.  You may find the download slow so be prepared.

  • Drop Normal Tablespace Taking several hours

    Hi,
    In my 1TB database there is one tablespace size (38.5 GB / used 4 GB) which we used for objects backup purpose and i am trying to drop this tablespace using every option like bring tablespace offline and drop with DROP TABLESPACE TBS_NAME INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES CASCADE CONSTRAINTS
    but Drop Tablespace Taking several hours (24 + hrs)
    I tried with drop objects from the tablespace but that is also taking lot of time to drop and then i tried to drop empty tablespace and again it is taking several hours.
    Database version :- 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.4
    Operation System Version :- Solaris 5.10
    ERP 11.5.10
    Please suggest what could be the problem.

    So, till now you have done these steps,
    1) dropped all database objects from that tablespace. Checked if any objects are there in this tablespace and there were none
    2) take tbs offline
    3) drop tablespace
    4) While drop tablespace command is hanging, monitored segments in the tbs from another session. Segments were reducing very slowly
    Out of first 3 steps, which step took longer? drop tablespace ?
    Logically, when you are able to drop objects, then there should be no issue of locks or anything like that.
    Dictionary updates should not take 24 hours!!!
    What else is going on, on the disk/file-system where this tbs is housed?
    Do you have all locally managed tablespaces?

  • HT4889 Having issues using Migration Assistant taking 200+ hours for 60 gigs.

    I am transferring from my source which is running Lion to my target which is running Mountain Lion.  It is taking 200+ hours with the ethernet connection.  Is firewire faster? Help!

    Thanks for the reply,
    I didn't understand exactly what to put into AppleScript sorry (never used it before) - so I just ran the following from the Terminal:
    $ echo $UID
    $ sudo chown -R 503 ~
    And restarted - everything works now - thanks heaps.
    What had happened and is this something I did or did Migration Assistant just get confused?
    I have 3 new Mc Pros to setup on Monday so just want to ensure those are hassle free.

  • HT1498 Why is it taking 8 hours to download a rented movie?

    Why is it taking 8 hours to load a rented movie on ITV?

    Winston,
    Converted HD movies for Apple TV are not more than 2.5MB stream in HD. Apple TV gen 1 wa capable of 5Mbit with less FPS, but not newer once. Where did you get 6 and 8Mbit from?
    There is no need for that fast stream (sorry buddy but I work with streams quite a bit).
    The problem could be not a speed, but crowdeed networks. If one uses WiFI on 2.4 GHz then in crowded areas you have issue of too many overlapping WiFI networks and time sharing channels. Only three channels in WiFi band 2.4GHz do not overlap, but there are still shared by neigbors.
    That is the reason I run 5GHz Wirless-N as the only one in my neigborhood. No channel overlaps, no choppy network, no choppy movies.
    That may not be an issue of stream speeds. Just ADSL 3Mbit would be fine. Trust me as I had that for long time with Apple TV before I switched to FiOS.
    Apple TV is equipped with enough memory to buffer almost entire H.264 encoded High Definition movie so only start could be delayed if network is slower, but not by 8 hours.
    Another possibility is that Apple network is busy which I experienced quite a bit in the past especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Rentals that time were menace.

    PS: If and when I get this fixed how does the battery work if you are going on a long trip for example out of the country and have no access to a computer to re-charge via USB port?

    What kind of connection do you have? Dial-up? DSL, Cable, FioS?
    And have you checked your firewall settings to make sure they are not interfering?
    You can buy a wall charger to charge it, Apple Store, RadioShack, etc.
