Why are my iPhone apps taking forever to reinstalling?

I recently restored my iPhone because I was having some issues with my music not playing.  After backing it up, restoring it and starting to reinstall everything my apps have taken hours just to install a few.  I don't understand why it's taking so long to reinstall it when I have never had a problem installing separate apps before.  Can anyone tell me what I should do to make it go faster?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like proper screenshots. from a flaky graphics hardware to your drives being full or wearing out and needing some attention this could be anything.

  • Why is my mail app taking forever to push Icloud emails?

    For the last two days, is taking a long time for the mail app to download emails from icloud...
    When I check on icloud.com online the emails is already there, but when I look at my mail.app that little circle keeps moving like is loading forever...
    I'm using for incoming server imap.mail.me.com, 993, ssl,  and for outcoming smtp.mail.me.com default port, ssl
    What could be wrong?

  • Copied my iTunes library to new MacBook Pro, why are my iPhone apps greyed out?

    Hi,
    Rather than migrate from an iMac that I sold, I decided to just start fresh on a new Macbook Pro. I did back up my iTunes library and copied it over to the new Macbook. I synced my iPhone and iPad 2 on the new Macbook but the apps are greyed out. When I click the sync apps box all but a few of the apps (I'm assuming the ones that are default with the iPhone and iPad) dissappear.
    I'd like the ability to arrange my apps with the Macbook at times and like the idea that I have a backup of all my apps on my computer. I realize I'm backing them up in iCloud, but just sayin'.
    Thanks,
    Bo

    Do I purchase an external hard-drive and transfer? Or should I just go and get a 32 GB Flashdrive? Anyone have any tips for doing this stuff?
    assuming all your media files are in the default location, connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    So how can I turn off the library on my iMac and just make it two?
    you can't.
    you'll have to wait until you reach the limit of five machines. then you can use the deauthorize all option, following which you can reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.

    Had same problem on my iPad2 with the original 8.0 release.  I ended up wiping it completely clean and doing a reset and restore from backup.  That seemed to fix my issues.  I had the same problem when 7 came out and did the same wipe and restore to get everything working well.

    Why are my iPhone photos smokey looking?

    my iphone 4 pictures have ALWAYS been sharp and crystal clear, recently they are extremely grainy and blury.  I do not have anything blocking the camera lens and have even cleaned any smudges but I am experiencing the same thing.  When i look at photos i took last month compared to recent weeks, they are horrible!

  • Why are there no app for PEF Meter Mini Wright on screen converter? Free of course! For to be used by us whith astma and allergy ontroling the PEF meter EN13826-standard with the old Wrigt-McKerrow-scale? We need it in our iPhones and not only in our comp

    We need an app for the PEF-scale on screen converter in our iPhones and not only in our computors.
    A converter between the new PEF Meter Mini Wright EN13826-scale and the old one Wright-McKerrow-scale for to be able to corectly evaluate the standard of our lungs.
    To be honest!
    It is a scandal that it is not already a free iPhone app for the on screen converter....

    You should contact the company that makes the one for your computer and ask them to make an app for your iPhone.  Apple only makes a couple of apps.  The other million are made by people like you and I or by companies and are posted to the app store.

  • HT4539 Why are all these apps only available for everything but my MacBook Pro?

    Why are all apps only available for phones or pads??I only want to use them on my MacBook Pro???

    Itunes does not sell any apps at all for computers.

    If you want an app for your Mac, tehn shop in th Mac App Store

  • Why are the factory apps placed in the slots they are in when the phone is factory, what is the significance of their assigned spots

    Does anybody have any idea on why the stock/factory apps are placed in the dock and springboard in the slots they are when you do a full restore?

    the best answer anyone here can give is "Because that's what Apple decided."
    beyond that, nobody here knows.

  • Why are all my apps 32-bit on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM?

    Why are all my CC 2014 apps on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM 32-bit instead of 64-bit? 
    Thanks

    >don't see anything there regarding 64-bit applications
    You need to click on EACH program to read the requirements for THAT program
    System requirements | After Effects- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    And so on... if the INDIVIDUAL page does say 64bit the program does not REQUIRE 64bit

  • IPhone 4S taking forever to sync after iOS 7 update

    My iPhone 4S is taking forever to completely sync the back up after updating to the new iOS 7 operating system. It's stuck in step 6 of 6 'waiting for items to copy'. Please help!

    I was having this same problem with iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS 7 and iTunes.  It was just taking forever on the 'waiting for items to copy' step.
    I disabled Genius on my iTunes setup, and immediately it resumed and completed that step.  Seems like it was waiting for Genius results that weren't there, or weren't available.
    I have a large iTunes library and still like to manually manage the music on my iPhone.
    I guess I'll live without Genius until Apple can fix this.
    iTunes Genius can cause manual sync of music to iPhone to hang for a long time.

  • Why is my iphone 4s taking AGES to download and update apps... 3 days!!

    I bought a new iphone 4S 3 days ago. I previously had an iphone 4. Before buying the new 4S I had several apps that needed updating, but that were taking a while. For a few of the apps the following message appeared 'Unable to download application: "Instagram" could not be downloaded at this time. Done. Retry.'. I had presumed it was the iphone 4 as I had been having a few problems with it being a little slower, before I decided to go an upgrade. However, I am having the same problem with the 4S, though I have persevered so far... It has taken 3 days with no end in sight. I don't know if it could be my wifi- but I always get good signal... Should I just delete the apps and re-download them???

    It sounds like it's stuck.  If you changed Wifi networks since starting the restore, this is probably the issue. Once you are at a location where you are going to be for a while, go to Settings > General > Reset > erase All Content & Settings > Erase iPhone.  On the set up screens that appear next, connect to Wi-Fi and choose Restore from iCloud Backup and start the restore again.  Stay on that same Wi-Fi next work until all of you photos are loaded and in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup you should see "Backup Now" indicating the restore is complete.  If you see "Stop Restoring" then continue to stay on the same Wi-Fi until it is complete.
    If you have been on the same Wi-Fi since you started restoring the first time and never went out of range, etc. then find another Wi-Fi network if that keeps happening after you try to restore once more per the instructions above.

  • Why are the 8 apps installed on my iPod taking up 13G of space?! (The largest one is supposedly only 57mb)

    So I have 8 apps installed on my iPod right now and for some reason after I deleted one very large app (I had 9 apps) the space used on my iPod actually increased??? The larges app that I've installed only takes up about 57mb of space so I'm very confused. Can anyone tell my why this might be happening and/or how I could fix this? Thank you very much!

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB  usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
