Why is my ipad backup taking over an hour to update to ios 5?

I have tried for several days now to update my ipad to the ios 5 software.  Each time I plug in to start the process the "Backing up iPad" stops at about 2% of the install.  It's been at that point for 3 hours now with no movement. 

Try this - Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update.

  • Ipod touch 4g backup taking over 48 hours, does this happen?

    I've been trying to update to ios5 but the backup for the update has taken over 48 hours. Can this happen, i just think it's because i haven't backed up in like months.

    Far away not even close to being half way full. I have tried everything to fix my last one and ended up replacing it and the replacement is even worse. I feel like if it was the IOS it would be more consistent and be the same. Perhaps I somehow got two bad ones in a row and should try again? My first one hadno problem with the keyboard or Safari but this one does immensely.

  • IPhone backup hung for 4 hours on update to iOS 5

    My configuration:
    iTunes 10.5.2.11 (just updated to), iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.3.3. Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 SP 3. Last update and sync was 5 months ago.
    Updating iTunes required a PC reboot, which I did. When I updated iTunes 10.5.2.11 (or maybe after I synced my iPhone soon thereafter), it asked if I wanted to automatically install updates (I think) on the iPhone. Hadn't seen this before, so I clicked 'Yes'. I also manually transfered all purchases from iPhone to iTunes before updating to iOS 5 (standard procedure).
    The "hang":
    The update seemed hang after it started the "backup" process. The "moving green lights" on the backup dialog window rarely changed, and the screen on the iPhone shows a rarely updating "time wheel/gear" icon. Also, every 2+ minutes or so, I can hear the iPhone vibrating, which I was guess means something is going on. Windows Task Manager shows the APSDaemon.exe at 98-99% CPU as well as CPU Usage at 100%. Something seems hung in my mind.
    I got nervous (and impatient), so I clicked "Stop" the backup. After a short "Sync" message on the iPhone, everything seems in order and back to as it was before the attempted update. My iPhone settings confirm it's still at iOS 4.3.3.
    My Apple technical support expired 4 months ago, so that's why I'm trying the Apple Support Community. I searched to Community logs but wasn't sure that my situation was similar to others.
    Thank you for any help you can offer.

    Something on your computer is blocking the backup. For one thing, you should back up frequently. Daily is a good idea. The backup is incremental, so when there is a long gap between backups the process of determining what has changed can take quite a while. But 4 hours is much to long.
    First, try fixing Windows socket layer manager; this has been a consistent problem since a Microsoft update back in October. Open a Command window, and type:
       netsh  winsock  reset
    Then reboot and try again by JUST doing a backup - with the phone connected, right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup" from the floating menu,
    If the backup still hangs the old backup is probably corrupt. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. After that make sure the delete worked. Use Windows Explorer to verify the Backup folder is empty. It is located at:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    where user is your Windows login name. If the folder is not empty delete everything in it.

    The restore is not completed. You will have to re-try the restore process again.

  • Why is installing 3 applications from a creative cloud packager taking over an hour?

    Dear Adobe community,
    I am trying to install 3 Creative Cloud applications, (Illustrator, photoshop, and indesign) on a Windows 7 Hpz420 workstation from a USB hard drive and it is taking over an hour to complete.  i created a package of the 3 applications using the CC packager and move the package over to a USB drive.  Then I start the installer exe it runs and completes, but the installation takes over an hour and 1/2.  My installation of Creative Suite 5.5 from a similar USB hard drive was much quicker, about 1/2 hour.
    I don't want to use a remote installer like AAMEE. Is there a different way to create a package that is more efficient? I also don't want to redown the applications everytime I need to install them on a machine and utilize my network bandwidth.
    Is this normal ?  I have rebuilt the package with the same results and have installed CC on two different machines with the same results.  I did not see anything in the forums about the installation being so slow so I am concern that I have missed something or that my results are not normal.
    Your help is appreciated.

    My "Gaming" computer (Toshiba Qosmio X-70A, w/ 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processors @2.7 Ghz, w/ 250GB SSD, 750GB high-speed 7,200 RPM primary & 1TB SSD/HD hybrid drive) was purchase specifically, by me, to learn & use the Adobe "Cloud" Apps with.  This computer is a beast. <And - yet> it takes me days, literally <DAYs> to download all the apps I am using/studying.
    I (last week) recently had my 1st "total meltdown" w/ Win 8.1-Pro (what a total P.O.S. "OS" this is!) & have faced the daunting task of re-installing ALL of the Adobe SW available over the "Creative Cloud". This will take days (w/ a direct DSL link to a Cat-6 cable; not on Wi-Fi) to "re-install" all the "Creative Cloud" software I was learning/working with. Insane. I have never seen anything like this!
    So, "DLi" - I agree! Adobe's SW (& HW) Engineers don't give a stuff about your time nor mine.
    The only things that are of importance to them are (#1 - "Keeping their jobs") ... metering out their "Creative Cloud" in a manner which allows them to investigate EVERY byte on your computer/server/device BEFORE allowing you to use it . . . (hmmm....I do wonder how many dollars per month that information is worth to the NSA / per seat)?) ... and making it "a nightmare" for the user.
    What an insult!
    What an horrific slap in the face to each & every one of Adobe's "Creative Cloud" paying customers! (Uhhhm, that'd be you and that'd be me, too).

  • I have an iPad (original). I cannot complete the update to iOS 5.  It gets to the "backup" stage and then finds an error (-402653081). It asks if I want to continue, with a warning that "continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad."

  • Hyper-V Cluster Hosts BMR Backups take over 12 hours

    Hello, 
    We are using 2012 R2 DC to create a Hyper-V  2 node cluster.  The backup is DPM 2012 R2 running on 2012 R2 DC.  The DPM system was upgraded to 2012 R2 from DPM 2010 about a year ago and has worked for the most part.
    Two problems we are having.  I am using the VSS writer from the SAN manufacture.  On our old cluster I used the Microsoft VSS writer and had no problems unless I loaded the C: up with too many files on the cluster node.  I saw another post
    that says to disable the HW VSS writer but that was unsuccessful the last time I tried it.  I am going to try it again though.
    1.  I currently get a random VM that hangs during the backup.  The VM still runs but I cannot migrate it and backups fail from that point on.  In Hyper-V backup the Status field shows "Backing up...".  I am waiting for this
    to happen on a non critical VM but alas that is not happening. <sigh>  To correct the problem I have to pull power from the cluster node the system was on and then about 90% of the time I have to replace to different .sys files in c:\windows\system23\drivers
    and then run the startup repair utility from the windows install disk.
    2.  I did not notice this until this week but my BMR backups of the Hyper-V hosts are taking over 12 hours to complete.  The BMR on a different stand alone server is taking less than 10 min.  What is causing this and if these are taking this
    long is it interfering with the backup of the VMs on the cluster and causing the problem in paragraph 1 above?  I have tried to stagger my backups so they don't interfere with each other but if this one is taking 12-14 hours that will never happen.

    Hi,
    Are you on DPM 2012 R2 UR3 ?    If so - there is no need to a vss hardware provider, you can safely un-install it and DPM backups will continue to work fine.
    Problem-1)  I currently get a random VM that hangs during the backup.  The VM still runs but I cannot migrate it and backups fail from that point on.  In Hyper-V backup the Status field shows "Backing up...". 
    Response-1) Is there still an active backup job for that VM on the DPM server - and does it show that it's still transferring changes ?   If not, then wait for other VM backups to complete on that host, then manually stop the DPMRA service - that
    will reset the "backup in progress" flag and allow the VM to be managed.  We have an open bug that we're working on to fix that issue. 
    Problem-2) My BMR backups of the Hyper-V hosts are taking over 12 hours to complete. 
    Response-2)  DPM is not responsible for the amount of time a BMR backup takes to complete.  To troubleshoot this outside of DPM perform the following.
    First make sure no active BMR job is running by looking at running jobs on the DPM server.
    Second - using task manager make sure there are no WBENGINE.EXE process running on the DC you want to test - if so - kill it with task manager.
     To test BMR backup outside of DPM, try this command:
    1) Set up a network share on a remote machine
    \\server\bmrshare
    2) From an administrative command prompt on the PS, type:
                  wbadmin.exe start backup -allcritical -backuptarget:\\server\bmrshare
    This should show you the list of volumes included in the BMR backup and ask "Do you want to start the backup operation?. - Type Y to continue..
    See how long it takes to complete or see if it hangs - kill it if you need to after X hours - but look on the share and see how much it copied before killing it.
    You can try disabling chimney on both DPM and DC to see if that helps.
        c:\>Netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled

  • How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!!

    How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!! P.s I'm running newest version of iTunes.

    Connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes back up your iPad. After it does that disconnect it and go into your settings under general and under reset and select erase all content. After you do that reconnect to your computer, open iTunes and follow the screen options to set up your iPad as new. Once it is done doing that see if you have the latest version of iOS installed and if it does then either download gain the apps you had before or restore them from the backup made previous.

  • Why is Mountain Lion taking over an hour to download?

    I've purchased the Mountain Lion update, but it's taken over an hour to load only 1 dot.  Is there something I should be doing?

    Liz187 wrote:
    I'm replying to my own question to point out my connection is through TimeWarner Cable; normally everything runs fast.
    It's worth noting that because Mountain Lion is 4 gigabytes, it's probably many times larger than anything else you usually download. And how fast something downloads is affected by your service level. When downloading most web pages and movies, most people would not notice the difference between, say, a 3 gigabit per second service and a 20 megabit per second service. I, for example, have a 12 megabit connection and that usually means most files seem about equally fast, but a massive system installer like Mountain Lion usually takes most of an hour to download due to its sheer size. I realize I could cut the time down if I paid more per month for a 20 megabit connection or faster, but since it's only occasional that I download something this big I don't want to pay more.
    The speed of cable like Time Warner can be (I hear) variable depending on things like how many people are online in the neighborhood. My 12Mb DSL connection is just about always running at its rated speed, but a lot of areas can't get DSL faster than 3Mb or so. In other words there are a lot of reasons why a download as large as an OS X system installer might be slow.
    One important thing that can help: Make sure you have minimized the downloading or uploading of anything else on your computer or any other device in the house. For instance, if your spouse is watching a movie on Netflix, your kid is downloading music, and your own computer is uploading an automatic backup to Carbonite or Backblaze, your download won't be able to use the full bandwidth of your connection.

  • My purchased movies are taking over an hour to load.  Why?

    Apple TV is telling me (suddenly) that my purchased movies will take over an hour to load and play.  This literally started happening 10 minutes into a movie.  It's never taken more than 10 seconds to load in the past.  My internet connection is up and working normally.  Why would this start happening so suddenly?
