IPhone :: How Long It Should Take To Back Up 3G (iOS3) To Mac Mini
May 5, 2012
It has been working steadily for over 6 hours and still not done, and phone only about half full of data/songs etc. 16g 3G, MacMini OSX 10.6.8. I wanted to simply start using my newer mac for backups and whatever, but I can't believe it is taking so long to finish the initial backup on this computer. Is it possible there is a larger problem here? At the "speed" with which the process is occurring, it looks like I will have to leave the phone hooked up all night long just to complete the backup.
The other part of this is that I wanted to upgrade to iOS 4.2, but before I upgraded I needed to sync and backup the phone according to the messages that came up on screen when I connected the phone.
By the time I see any responses it will likely be done, but I'm worried that the extreme time involved is an indication of a bigger issue of unknown nature. And, I'm worried that subsequent backups may be equally time consuming, especially if there is a problem with the phone.
Is this "normal" for a first backup on a new(er) computer?
(In case it has any bearing, iTunes 10.) I'm not syncing music or videos, just the address book/contacts and calendars.
Info:
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.6), core duo

Got a 3G and it's painfully slow on 4 so I'm trying to revert but I aways get some obscure message saying iTunes can't read it... turns out I needed to backup something called SHSH blobs which I learnt about after day late and a dollar short. Is it still possible to downgrade by any other means?Please help... it feels like running Snow Leopard on a G3 ... I'm guessing.. no actual experience of such.

I jailbroke my 3G using blackra1n on iOS3 and installed (IIRC BossPrefs although I could be mistaken)I used this to turn on numeric signal strength indicators (for mobile signal and wifi)I then decided to just upgrade straight to official iOS4 when it came out, thinking it would just overwrite any customisations I'd made.However, the signal strength indicators now flick between the official icons and numerical representations.I can only assume the prefs software (if it was Bossprefs) did something to the particular icons, and the official restore only restored some of them?
I've since re jailbroke iOS4 with redsn0w and found out that the prefs program I used is not compatible (it just starts to load then quits). I tried installing SBSettings and enabling and disabling numerical signal strength indicators in that, but it's to no avail.

is this possible? I've googled for a little while can't find anything, I guess I'm not phrasing it right to find it?I like my long hold recent apps to bring up multi window, I would love to long hold back maybe to launch a "quick compose" message without leaving my app or start the music player

I had W350i which had a CD of PC Suite which had the facility of typing long SMS by connecting mobile phones with PC and then type from computer's keyboard long SMS but how can I do it now, I have Xperia X10 Mini Pro, I don't know that PC companion has this facility because it is too heavy to install as my web connection is not good enough? Is there anyone has the solution? It has 2.1 Android.

I have upgraded my SK17i to ICS when I first bought it and update it again with 587 update last months. But my phone have this lag problem so, I thought I repair it via PC Companion today. The problem is, phase 3 (updating) phase doesn't seems to progress. The progress bar is at zero for an hour now and my internet is connected.
Update: This is taking too long for me to wait, I'm cancelling the update by clicking the [x] button. I hope it doesn't touch anything on the system and just downloading the update file.
Update 2: I cannot boot my phone now, it shows yellow triangle with exlamation mark.

The entertainment function Voice command is great for parties and for placing calls to random friends and fiends alike from your contacts list. For day time and business use I would like the long right softkey to a more boring function like Contacts.How can I reassign the long-press right softkey?

I've recently started getting a problem where my text message program freezes if my phone turns off the screen (i.e. me being inactive for a while). When I get back again it says I can either wait for it to respond or terminate the process. If I wait it unfreezes, but it is still very irritating that it happens every time.
And who's incredibly stupid idea was it to make long SMS messages into MMS-messages? I have problems with my messages not being sent properly, or being sent only partially, all the time. Is there any way to change back so it just adds more text messages instead of converting into MMS?
I use the standard text messaging program that came with my X10 mini pro, and I'd rather not switch since I found it quite good until after recent updates when I got these problems.

Here are some details about the phone:
model number: SK17i
android version: 4.0.4, build number: 4.1.B.0.431
baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72
I use USB tethering a lot, and sometimes for very long times. When I disconnect the phone, sometimes, my phone becomes unable to receive calls. And even worse, the caller hears the normal calling sound, but my phone just doesn't do anything. So to the caller it seems that I'm just not answering, although the phone isn't notifying me in any way, during the call or after the call! So there is no way telling how many calls I'm missing..
When I try "reset" the mobile network by going to flight mode and back, the phone completely locks, and I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone. This problem won't go away unless I reboot the phone. This happens awfully often, regardless if I click USB tethering off from the phone first before disconnecting it. The most important function is not working and makes the "phone" useless.

I have x10 mini 2.1
since I updated to 2.1 any long press on home screen or corner icons goes directly to edit either widgets or icons depending wich screen I have up. This is anoying because many times I press just a little too long and for example end up in the edit icons mode instead of opening messages like I wanted to.
Is there anyway to get this as it was on 1.6? Long press didnt open edit, the only way to open edit was trough menu key.

Just got a refurbished D2G, the Nav app takes a long time to long on > 10min sometimes. Anyone else having this issue? Called VZW up they claim that google pushed out an update which breaks Nav. I called BS, then he tried to blame it on the hurricane.I have been through 4 of these phones, all with different annoying problems, Getting tired of it.

why my Xperia x10 mini (on o2 network) takes soooo long to send MMS or just says "queued for sending" for days? I have been on to o2 and checked all my settings are okay. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? Do I have to have a certain number of signal bars in order to be able to send MMS quicker or something? Ive never had problems with Sony Ericsson before

I have had my Mini Pro less than two weeks and the back key is unresponsive intermittently. The menu key can also play up, but not as much as the back key. The only thing that gets it working is turning the phone off. I thought it may be the screen protector but have taken it off and it is still there. I have not used the phone as anything but a phone (no internet browsing at all, have not even connected to the internet) so not sure whether firmware will help as it is new and could not have been damaged remotely?

My Xperia Mini ST 15i, has become sluggish after ICS upgrade. It takes a while before the dialier appears, and games like Temple Run are now erratic. Plus the battery drains like anything. Is there a fix, or is it better to revert back to Gingerbread; or Gellybean is gonna come soon?

It's not a new thing that my phone restarts alone time to time(!) but recently I notice that any time I touch the 'backup and restore' app to close it from the 'on going' applications (what does it there?), the phone blocks directly and have to enter my code as if it was restarted again.

It has suddenly decided to not respond to the back button for no apparent reason. Sometimes it suddenly starts working again after a restart and then works repeatedly untill untill the phone is left idle. Then the next time i pick the phone up it won't work again. The button itself feels no different to normall and has a positive click feel to its operation but i have noticed that when the phone is left on standby it suddenly starts illuminating the main screen repeatedly for no reason and i think the back button may be stopping from working after this happens, however i have not yet had it do this consistently to be sure yet. I have done a master reset, removed battery, software update (hard to do with intermitant back button btw) but all to no avail. All i have managed to achive is losing a load of my contacts actual numbers on SE's crappy sync service (contacts still listed but numbers gone and not in trash?)

I recently updated my Xperia ST15i to New Version 4.1.B.0.587 and after updating i feel that Old Version was very good in terms of both attraction and as well as Performance. Is there anyway to roll back to the previous version.
