iPhone Restore taking forever!

I started my restore at 2 p.m today (Eastern) and it is now 8 p.m. and i still have not finished. I am on the restoring iphone from backup phase and its about 1/4 complete moving like a half an inch every 20-30 minutes. I have never had a restore last this long, this is ridiculous! I also got this backup is corrupt and had to choose another. Any ideas to why this is?

Thanks

Me as well! Restore taking hours! There is not enough data over this USB connection to take this long. There is nothing in Activity Monitor to give anything away and sadly, no specific log for what is happening. My backup last night took 10 friggin hours! I have alot of apps, but Apple techs out to chime in here and at least not leave us all hanging.

Happens to me too.

I wonder who at Apple thought it would be cool to sync all weekend?

I've got the same problem here too! The "Restoring iPhone from backup..." in iTunes is stuck at about 95% and the iPhone screen is on "Restore in Progress". There's been no advancing for about 2 hours but I do not want to interrupt the process and lose data.

Can someone please advise or reassure, thanks.
