It says my new iPad will take 2days to restore from iCloud? Seriously?

How long does it take to restore data from iCloud? My new iPad says time remaining 2days. That can’t be right?

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

The rate at which you will restore your data from iCloud will be impacted by many factors - including, but not limited to:

  • how much data must be restored
  • the speed of your WiFi connection
  • the speed/available bandwidth of your internet connection
  • the server loading if restoring or synchronising data from iCloud


Many hours is not at all unusual. For slow links, or significant volumes of data, its may take much longer.


Keeping your iPad connected to its Power Adapter during the restore process will keep the iPad’s WiFi connection alive during the process.


Be patient.
