I backed up before the weekend... it had been awhile since backing up.

Took like 2 hours.

Today.. 2 minutes before downloading iOS4


Installing now... woohoo
 
Seriously, what happened to the Game Center? That was the feature I was most looking forward to.
 
is there another way to update, other than through itunes? I can't believe I have 3 hours left. I've never seen such a pathetic time. I even cancelled the download to start over...
 
Jesus the "backing up iPhone" bar is moving SO slow. At this rate it's going to take hours to backup. Anyone else taking this long?

Last night my backup started at 9pm and was still going at 2am. iTunes and iPhone are so poorly programmed it's sickening.
 
verifying..........
updating firmware.......

Hope the update doesn't take the fun out of my iPhone 4 on the 24th

:rolleyes:

Obviously, yes. Then again, the iPhone backup always takes a long time on the first new backup. Keep in mind that the normal backup when you connect to iTunes is an incremental backup onto the last major OS update; this one is a full backup in preparation for iOS 4. In my case, that's 8 GB I'm backing up--those of you with larger memory are going to take noticeably longer.

My hope is that this will hold me over until the 24th. It pisses me off that I am so excited about the iphone 4. I wish it hadn't consumed me so much...
