Why is my restore taking so long

i had to restore my iphone 4. so i did. then it extracted all software and now its restoring it all back but ive literally been at this exact point for about 2 hours now and still nothing. ive been having trouble with this specific phone since i got it.
i just wanna update my phone to ios 5 and i cant even do that cause my phone wont restore.
please help

I FOUND A SOLUTION as to why the iCloud restore to my iPhone 5 was taking so long (3 days).
It basically boiled down to my phone trying to download & restore iTunes music from my other apple id. It asked for it initially, but the tech on the phone told me I could skip it...don't skip it. My music is with one id (macbook) and my apps are with my most used id (iphone).
I checked my phone to see if I had iTunes music waiting to download/reinstall...and there was, but it wasn't downloading. 
On my phone, I went to settings, icloud, signed out of my most used id, signed in to my other id, downloaded that music, then signed back out.
My phone was ready to go in seconds!
**I highly suggest using wifi to perform your iCloud restore***
I was on my way to the Genius Bar in the morning, but now things are resolved. I really hope this helps someone!

    Without seeing an execution plan of the query it is hard to suggest something useful. Try insert the result of UNION ALL to the temporary table and then perform an aggregation on that table, not a CTE.
    Just
    SELECT CollectionDate,Bankname,DSLIPS AS DSLIPS,SUM(BN) AS BN,SUM(COINS)AS COINS  FROM

    HAVING COUNT(DSLIPS)<>0;

    Why is my ipad taking so long to charge.  I upgraded to iso7.01 and it takes forever and I am not happy

    Have you reset you iPad,or tried deleting the apps that are crashing and then opening them again.  Or closing them and reopening them. Also clear Safari and see it that helps. There have been a few other posts like yours , and I can't figure out why it happens to some ipads and not others. I have not even seen what happens with a "crash" occurs and I use mine all the time. Good luck.

  • After formatting and creating two partitions on my external HD, why is Time Machine taking 25x longer to perform a backup?

    Hi.
    I bought a macbookpro 13"retina, new two weeks ago and a G-tech 1TB external drive from the apple store. It's my first mac.
    I performed a backup, using Time Machine, which copied 18 GB onto he 1TB external HD in around 20 minutes.
    After a little more reading, I realised I should use Disk utility to partition the 1TB external G-tech drive into a 250gb partition, and a 750gb partition.
    [My MBP has a 250gb flash HD. I'll use the other 750gb for storage of my other files, like photos, music etc.]
    So, using disk utility I formatted the 1TB exernal drive, then created two partitions.
    However, I've started backing up my data using time machine again, onto the 250gb partition, on the external drive, and its now taking 5 hours to copy the 19.81GB
    So why is it taking 25x longer than the first time I did it? [First time it took 20 minutes]
    Thanks

    Since performing the fist backup, a couple of days ago, which took twenty minutes, and the second backup, which is taking 5 hours, I installed MS office for Mac 2011 and Silverlight.
    Dont know if thats responsible?

  • Why are my songs taking so long to download?????

    I just bought songs from iTunes fromt he first time and they are taking forever to download. I have a 6GB ipod mini and I only have 189 songs on it. Its taken over 2 hours for 11 songs of about 2-4 min. to download. Why is this taking so long and is there anyhting i can do to speed up the process?
    Sony Vaio   Windows XP  

    Not sure what you are downloading, but it isn't a 4MB music file within 2 seconds.
    Even if you could get a true 56K speed (which does not exist) for dial-up, each 4MB file would take you 10 minutes to download.
    Most 56K modems are limited to around 40-50K at their fastest.
    Your times for the 11 songs seems about right.
    -- 11 songs @ an average of 3 minutes in length & 1MB/min = 33 MB total to download
    -- 33MB @ 56K = 1h23m
    -- 33MB @ 34K = 2h17m
    You are probably getting between 30K and 42K of real download speed from the modem.

  • Why is Migration Assistant taking soooo long?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 13". I decided to transfer most of my stuff from my old iBook G4. I tried to use a firewire cable but MA said "Mac OSX is not installed on your old Mac." Huhhh? That machine has never seen anything but OSX...
    So I use an ethernet cable directly between the two computers. That works. Except that it is taking INSANELY long. I am only transferring about 30 gigs and it has been going for 6 hours and says it will need 8 more! What can possibly take so long??? When I transfer files over my network using the same cables, 30 gigs takes maximum 30 minutes I think....
    Thanks,
    Bo

    Okay a few things here - first if you're using mavericks on both machines you don't need to do anything with target disk mode. Just using migration assistant on both machines connected by thunderbolt is enough.
    Second, I have a 2011 MacBook Air and it does have a single thunderbolt port. Pre-2011 may have been the mini display port.
    Finally, and the reason I stumbled onto this, the thunderbolt connection works wonderfully fast but there's some kind of bug in migration assistant that defaults to the wifi connection if both machines are connected to the network, even if you have a thunderbolt cable connected. I'm transferring a 2011 MacBook Air to a new rMBP and just discovered this issue. I connected with the thunderbolt cable, it estimated around an hour for about 80gb of data then inched closer to 36 mins as the estimate.
    At some point along the way though migration assistant decided wifi would be better and the estimate jumped to over 20 hours. I unplugged my router (only solution for me once both machines had migration assistant running) and it seamlessly defaulted back to thunderbolt where the estimate cut back down to 30ish minutes.
    The thunderbolt cable being worth the extra money or not is I suppose a matter of opinion but for me it's got plenty of other uses to justify the price and certainly made this transfer a lot faster. I just wish migration assistant wouldn't default to wifi without any kind of indicator.
    So I assume too late to help you out but hopefully someone will see this and fix this bug and maybe it'll be helpful to someone else as it's still an issue as of right now.

  • Why is processing/transcoding taking so long for youtube video

    I'm using a MacBook Pro 17" made in late 2011. Runing software OS x Lion 10.7.3 and 2.4 GHz Ubtel Core i7 with 8 GB 1333MHz DDR3. I have a AMS Radeon HD 6770m 1024 MB. It is taking so long to process/transcode a movie. Any suggestions? Thanks

    You are telling me...I videoed the event, along with editting...spent hours just to get it ready for processing...paying people to watch my video may be considered some form of punishemnt in some location.
    More on the serious side, the video deals with state and local govenment policy and school budgets. Hot topic these days. Final decision could mean many jobs could be saved or eliminated. Can't compete with "Gone with the Wind", but for those involved, it could make the diference on how one provides for ones' family. It the sign of the times we are living in now.
    Update: was not able to upload to any of my streaming sites, so placed it on a local server for local access.
    Now working on the next video which is ONLY 30 minutes long...been rendering for 1:55':26"---over half way done...feels like I'm on vacation!

  • Why is Aperture trash taking so long to empty?

    I emptied the Aperture trash, and am now trying to empty my desktop trash (Finder > Emty Trash) but it is taking sooooo long. I have almost 5,000 items to delete, and the progress bar is moving very slowly. Is this normal?

    I did select 'secure' empty.
    Ok that explains it, selecting this adds a lot of time to the emptying,
    A normal emptying of the trash is really a bookkeeping operation., The Operating System only marks the disk space where those files are as available to be used again but doesn't actually write over the data so this goes pretty quick.
    With a secure erase the area on the disk where the data  is stored is written over. This adds a lot of time to the operation.
    So sit back you might be waiting for a bit
