How Long Does it take to Restore?

[twinemma26]

I have an iPod Touch 8GB and I am currently restoring and updating. It has taken over 30 minutes and it's no where near finished. How long should it normally take. My friends 8GB nano took 2 hours to update. Is that normal? or does technology hate me??

Hi and welcome to iLounge.

While I'm hoping that you're well past this point by now, it is normal for an iOS device restore to take a while if you're upgrading to iOS 4.x on an older device (like an 8GB iPod touch). The iOS 4 update process actually does a full backup of your device, including all of your media content, before restoring and updating to the new iOS version,

On the other hand, two hours to restore an iPod nano (or any click wheel iPod) is definitely not normal.

Once there it did but I got error 1439 when trying to sync it, so I changed out USB cords and moved it back to the front. I got an error saying it was corrupted and I would need to restore it. So I hit restore and got through *phase 1* went to plug it into the wall and left it there for about 10 minutes.

Restarted my computer and plugged it back in, but now I have this stupid icon on the Ipod screen showing a plug and an outlet but it;s battery was fully charged, is it broken, what the hell?

Mines doing the same thing! Did u find out how to fix it? Please tell me if yours worked
