A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
My wifi is fine, never had an issue before or with my other iPhone. What should I do? I’m only trying manual backup because it gave me a notification that it’s been over 2 weeks without a backup save.
There has been a lot of problems with transferring data to the new iPhone, it happened to me personally. I just canceled it until it worked with a reasonable wait time.
Yes. Took almost 3 hours for mine to backup. That was in a store….
I would backup to a Mac or a PC with iTunes. Far more consistent and often quicker.
30 GB in a backup takes a while, but it is also generally not a good idea. The bigger a file is the more likely that sometime during writing the file something goes wrong. I would recommend moving as many files as possible outside the backup ( enable sync instead for iCloud Drive, Photos, WhatsApp backup etc. that still requires the same iCloud space, but instead one big long process you have many tiny ones. That’s much safer and much less complicated.
Thank you I appreciate the advice
