Takes hours and hours to update iphone

I have in iPhone and my husband has one and we were using one iTunes account (which was mine). When I go to update my husbands software it says it will take at least 80 hours to update. Mine only took 10minutes. After hours of trying to sort it out I gave up. Have since set up my husband with own apple I'd. But still it takes hours to update. What can I do to get my husbands iPhone updated. Shod I restore his phone and start frfrom scratch. I think iTunes is confused because we have same apps etc.

  • Calendar and Contacts Not Updating IPhone 4g

    Hi.
    I have a user in our work environment using an IPhone 4g. He gets his emails in fine, but his contacts and calendar stopped updating. We have removed the account from the phone and set it back up again, but that didn't help. His Outlook updates as normal, so I believe it is the phone. He has almost 10,000 contacts and countless calendar items. Has anyone encountered this before?

  • Missing All Apps in iTunes AND can't update iphone software

    APP PROBLEM- just happened today
    There are zero apps showing in my app folder all of the sudden. My phone shows that 77 updates are available, and yet, not a single app shows up in the apps folder itself. When I click "check for updates" in the app folder, again nothing.
    IPHONE SOFTWARE PROBLEM- been happening for months
    When I plug in my phone to update and sync it says I have software version 4.1 and "A newer version of the iphone software is available (v 4.2). Click to update" so I click "update" and then it says "This version of itunes (9.2) is the current version". Well I didn't click update itunes, i clicked update for the iphone software. So I can't update the software. I have a 2nd gen iphone.
    The only change that's happened is I think I tried downloading the newest version of itunes and it said my operating system is too old for it. So, itunes 9 opens fine, my music is in there. All of my apps have disappeared and I can't update my iphone software. Please help.

    Thank you. So, as far as the iphone update, I'm out of luck unless I get a new operating system, right?
    Yes, I tried restarting my computer to see if they would reappear. I just checked the library on my hard drive and I can't see any applications there. They are still not coming up in the apps folder in the itunes library either.
    Any ideas?

  • OIM 10g provision takes long and gives DOBJ UPDATE FAILED

    Hi.
    We Recently added a resource but it´s provisioning process takes about 1 minute to complete.
    When a user makes a request for lets say 10 users, when the request is approved, the web page tries to wait until all the 10 user provisioning process is finished but that means 10 minutes waiting and OIM gives DOBJ.UPDATE_FAILED. I assume this is a timeout.
    How can I configure OIM (10G) to do all the provisioning process in background so there will not be needed to wait a lot of time watching a stall page when the (last approval step) approve button is pressed ?
    Thanks.

    It´s a Webservice which makes a LOT of transactions and takes a lot doing them, we cannot change its behavior because it was built by someone else.
    Offline Provisioning Explains a lot!
    Even fixes a Rollback problem we were having caused by conectivity problems with some target Systems.
    Thank YOU!

  • Porblem: 3Gs not recognised AT ALL after updating itunes and trying to update phone

    Have updated itunes and tried to update Iphone 3gs.  Now I have connect to itunes display on iphone, and when I connect, I get "new hardware not recognized", "iphone in recovery mode", and device does not come up in itunes.  In device manager "?!" are shown in "other devices" next to "iphone in recover mode".
    Any ideas?  I've been trying all day to fix this.
    Currrently when I plug in the Iphone, the computer completely ignores it and no reaction, so seems to have got a bit worse!
    I'm using PC, Win XP SP2.
    I've tried all my USB ports, and various fixes I've found online, but happy to keep trying them if you have any ideas???!?!!?!
    At the moment my iphone is dead/blank/part restored, so can't do any solutions that require the functions of the phone.

    Thanks wjosten.  I've now been through all this, and there was a lot of old 3d party phone stuff to remove.
    However, I have not progressed really.  Any other thoughts on this please?

  • HT4623 how long will take to install the new update on my iphone, it has been at the same % for a hour.

    How long does it take to install the new iphone update, my iphone is been stuck at the same % for over a hour.

    The update should not take more than 5 minutes to download and update.
    I would recommended pressing on the sleep/wake button for a few seconds untill you see the 'slide to shut down' bar. Shut the device down and try again.

  • HT1349 It takes hours (2-3 or more) to download updates to various software.  I use my iPhone in personal hotspot mode paired to my laptop to do this.  How can i speed up the downloads.

    It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier.  Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

  • I'm trying to restore and back up my iPhone 4 it's taking more than 45 hours. What should I do?

    I have been trying to restore and back up my Iphone which i have just updated and I wanted my apps, contacts, messages,etc,. all back on my iPhone but its taking more than 45 hours and it's only 16 GB. I have really important contacts that I need to have in my phone but it would take weeks to get them back one by one without using the back up.

    As has been said, you may have a corrupt backup on your computer. However, if it is a Windows computer you may also have a corrupt socket layer in Windows. So first try this (after canceling the backup):
    Open a command window with Administrator privileges and type:
       netsh  winsock  reset
    then reboot your computer and try again to do a backup (right click on the phone's name in iTunes and select Backup from the floating menu).
    If this doesn't work you will have to delete the existing backup. Go to iTunes preferences, Devices page.
    Note: If you have a Mac first try restarting it, launching iTunes, and back up as described above.

  • TS1702 Is it normal to take 20 hours to update iPad software to iOS 5.1.1?

    Is it normal to take 12 to 20 hours to update the iPad software to version iOS 5.1.1?

    That really is extremely slow. But at this point, I would hate to see you stop the download in fear of messing something up. I know it kind of bites - but wait it out and maybe it won't take as long as it is showing.
    But if the time starts increasing on the counter, them I would assume that something is really wrong.

  • 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.
