Q: I am restoring my new phone from iTunes. It is taking a long time. Is this normal?
It is taking 2+ hours to restore my new phone using iTunes. I do not have that much stored. Is this normal? Any work around?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Hopefully it eventually finished...if it did not, you may want to disconnect it, take a look at the phone and see how complete the restore is, and then reset it to factory settings and try again if it doesn't seem to be complete.
In my experience, the restores can take a long time, even if you don't think you have much stored. Do you remember how many GB were used on your old phone?
