Backup taking forever under 3.0

mine was going for 90 minutes and i killed it. tried deleting my backup file and started it again. running for almost an hour now. i'm gonna go to sleep and let it run.

 

It is only the first backup that takes a long time. After that they should be quick again.

 

yup, first backup after the update took about 45 minutes. i thin it runs off the same principle of Time Machine. first backup takes the longest because it backs up EVERYTHING, and all additional backups are shorter because they only backup what has changed sense the last backup.

all old backups are unusable after you did the 3.0 update, so the computer needed to remake a full backup for the iphone/touch

 

Mine did not take 45 mins. Do you espn app? If so remove it and try to backup again. It would be faster..

 

and I thought something was wrong with mine...

 

Mine took 20-25 minutes. But I only have an 8 Gig.

 

try killing it and retrying. I just did it and it seems much faster now...

 

Well I just backed up my iPhone and it took 30 minutes and there was nothing added or removed. Nor was it the first backup with new data. It should have only taken seconds for the sync!

Hey Apple, do something about this!

 

6 hours + CANNOT be normal!

Since updating to 3.0 i have not managed to sync my iPhone. I have tried 4 times, waiting between 3 and six hours. It has never got further than half way! I need help!
