Why is the backing up process for my iPhone taking so long?

cant seem to sync my phone to my iTunes as backing up takes so long. is there a problem with my itunes?

Thanks for your reply.  Ok, at 1.30am I got out of bed to see what was happening my PC was telling me the Internet connection was lost to the Mac but was trying to find a connection. There was the option to quit, so I did.  This morning I find the Mac is still showing the 'Transferring Information' box stating 'copying Jan's Music' 'About 18 hours and 36 minutes remaining'. I don't know how to get rid of this, I have pressed 'esc' but nothing is happening.  I initially followed the step-by-step set up with from the booklet that came with the Mac and followed the transfer files as it said, and downloaded the migrate  'thing' from apple onto my PC, I chose what I wanted to transfer from the box options which came up on my Mac (from the PC). I am using WiFi. As you can probably tell, I am not very computer literate, and thought once my Mac was out of the box I could use it! I would like my iTunes library and associated stuff on my Mac without losing any music, the rest of the files and documents can wait until I am more confident at transferring stuff. It all seemed very straight forward when I visited the apple store and had nearly a 2hr demo and chat with the guy before purchasing a very expensive laptop.

  • I want to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard. When trying to back-up to a WD 1 TB external drive, the back-up process stalls at about 4 GB. Grateful for any clues to assist with the backup issue please.

    I want to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard, then to Lion. When trying to back-up to a WD 1 TB external drive, the back-up process stalls at about 4 GB download. I would be very grateful for any clues to assist with the back-up process please.

    That disk is very probably formated as FAT 32, the normal format for PCs. FAT 32 cannot support files larger than 4 GB; also, it corrupts some types of Mac OS files. If you want to securely backup your mac files, you must have a disk prepared for Mac OS.
    Therefore, open Disk Utility, choose again 1 partition for your external disk and, under Options, GUID partition map (it may also be a boot disk for an intel mac), then format it as Mac OS Extended Journaled. Y0u are done.
    If you want to exchange data with PCs, you should chose Master Boot REcord and NTFS format, for this you must use a additional utility like NTFS-3G. But note that mac files may also get corrupt in NTFS format.

  • What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?cc=us

    What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?
    How would one go about arranging for such service?
    Why is it impossible to contact a real human for support, either via online chat or phone? 

    Last I checked I am a real human, it is just that I do not work for HP and can't speak for them. HP would not be the place I would go for a "refurbish" job. They charge an arm and a leg for out of warranty service. You simply need to find someone to replace the system board (motherboard). It is also very likely on that model that you could have your system board repaired. There are many services on ebay that will repair the motherboard at the component level. The cost would be at or under $100 or so. I have more advice to give but many times I write a detailed response only to have the user never come back. I do check my posts so if you want more ideas just please respond. The tx2-1000 was one of the models affected by the nVidia issue that caused so many HP laptops made in the 2007-2009 era to fail prematurely. 

  • I am unable to update my iPhone from ios4 to ios7, I know you have to do this via the computer however the backing up process stops part way through and it is unable to carry on

    I have ios4 on my iPhone 4 and I have tried to update it to ios7 and to do this I know you have do use the computer. however part of the way through, the back up process stops and nothing else happens

    I would suggest that you tru and update through iTunes on your computer. Also, could you connect your computer up to the internet using a wired connection rather than wireless - this will be faster and more reliable, particularly when you need to download a large file.
    Then try your update. This time, in iTunes, why not try to get it to download the sofware first (Download Only). You can then appy it to your iPhone later, once it has downloaded.

  • WS14000133 not supporting the Back&forth processing , back to purchaser but

    Dear Geeks,
    we have SRM 5.5
    i am using the sap standard template WS14000133 for the n-step approval and implemented the Badi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI. Everything is working fine . the issue is when the requistioner is logged in to the SAP SRM portal all the features are available except the "Back to Purchaser" and "Back to manager" pushbutton are not visible on the screen.
    I suppose which indicates that the Workflow or the SRM portal is not supporting the Back & Forth processing where the requistioner has the facility to send the Workitem back to the approver who has made changes the shopping cart.
    Can anyone please help me  in finding a way to enable the above pushbuttons to be visible in the SRM portal screen.
    Regards,
    Altaf

    Hi,
    The issue is not with the Approve,Reject,submit or resubmit icons or buttons.
    for the workflows which support back and forth processing there will be two extra buttons visible on portal screen.
    1. Back to purchaser  visible to the Approver
    2. Back to Manager visible  to the Requisitioner/creator of the shopping cart.
    so this two buttons/ icons are not visible in SRM portal screen.
    And this is the basic standard functionality provided by the SAP . here is the part of the documentation which supports the above statements.
    "Back & Forth Processing
    This property enables the creator and the current approver to change the document during approval.
    Using the pushbutton Back to Purchaser, the approver can send the document back to the creator so that changes can be made. The purchaser/creator makes the changes and uses the pushbutton Back to Manager to send the changed document back to the last approver who then continues the approval process. (Depending on the type of authorization, the approver can also make changes, for example, and then notify the creator of the change using the back & forth procedure.)"

  • Why does the back arrow just reload the same page most of the time

    why does the back arrow just reload the same page most of the time
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == most of the time since I installed it

    Hi Keith.
    This is probably a normal behavior that's induced by the way pages are done. Can you provide a link to a page where this happens?
    For example, wikipedia articles often have links that lead to sections of the article and not to actually different pages, as you may know. If you click the Back button, Firefox will lead you to the section of the page you were looking at when you clicked that link. Is this perhaps what you're talking about?
    AJAX pages (i.e. pages that take advantage of heavy duty javascript code and server side technologies) often have troubles like these. It's very hard to prevent this from happening from the browsers' point of view, but Mozilla is trying to find a way for Firefox 4 (at least like time I checked they were). So using the back and forth buttons in gmail will probably be troublesome.

  • Why is the app not available for my device?

    I've no problem using BT wifi on my device (Nook BNTV400) so why is the app not available for that device? It's not like the nook is proprietory, everything else I've tried to find in the play store works fine.
    Is the apk available for download direct from bt?

    if you can connect to btwifi without the app then I wouldn't bother trying to find the apk file
    if you have an android smartphone then you can download the app and get the apk file to sideload on to your nook

  • When i run Time Machine to back up my computer onto an external hard drive, i have no way of knowing when the back up process has been completed. I don't know when it is safe to disconnect the external hard drive - which is store in a separate location.

    When i run Time Machine to back up my computer on to an external hard drive, i have no way of knowing when the back up process has been completed.  This is necessary to know because i don't leave my external hard drive connected to the computer.  I routinely disconnect it after backing up the hard drive, and then i store the external hard drive in a different location from the computer.  So, knowing when the back up process has been completed would be a very helpful thing to have the computer specify. 

    Just enable Time Machine's menu extra (System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Show Time Machine in menu bar.
    This will add a little Time Machine icon to your menubar. When Time Machine is actively backing up your data, the icon will spin as a visual indicator. You can also click the menu icon to see the backup status, including how much data is left to back up.

  • Why is the Amber update different for ATT and Chin...

    Why is the Amber update different for ATT and China? For Lumia 520, it could tap to unlock but, in china, this function is disappeared disappear. Could you give an expain as the matching hardware, otherwise I think it's a definately discriminatory to Chinese.

    Double tap to unlock is not available for any 520, anywhere in the world. See link below. You should always check first before making allegations.

    Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

  • Why is the back of my 4G iPhone  puffed up?

    Why is the back of my 4G puffed up? 

    We would need to see photos of what you mean exactly, but my guess would be an issue with the battery.
    I would take the phone to an Apple store IMMEDIATELY as batteries can explode.
