I did wait a couple of hours before I gave up. I was about ready to push the force quit buttons.
Have patience! I thought mine was stuck too, then suddenly after about an hour, it moved!!!!!!! Then things went pretty quickly. Tried to reset sync history in iSync first, but that didn’t work so I did as you said. Thanks for this usefull tip, I was stuck and didn’t know what to do!

Lesson learned for next time: Always import your iPhone Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture before you upgrade… Sounds like they’ve changed the whole backup system again in iOS 4 so iPhone / iPod Touch Backup Extractor no longer works. what’s backed up, where it’s backed up, and the backup file format. Phew!Īpple really could be more explicit about the iPhone backup process – i.e. Then I just extracted the “iPhone OS Files” entry to a folder, and my Camera Roll images were inside a Media/DCIM folder inside there. I had to temporarily copy the backup folder back to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ so that the extractor app would find it. Fortunately I was able to find an old backup of my iPhone on my Time Machine disk from a few days ago (when it was still iPhone OS 3), and use this excellent tool to extract all the Camera Roll photos from the backup: Turns out that the Camera Roll is backed up by iTunes, but it didn’t restore them from the backup (no idea why). I was slightly irritated to discover that my entire Camera Roll was empty upon restore. My iPhone feels a bit snappier now – not sure if it’s because it was wiped, or if iOS 4 is faster. And it’s nice to start with a clean slate in a way. The downside was that I lost my app data, which was a bit of a downer, but at least I was up and running with the new OS. (I had to sync my music manually afterwards.) This then “restored” the iPhone using the already-downloaded iOS 4, then copied all my apps back from iTunes.
It would have taken all day (and then some) to finish.Īfter trying a few things, the workaround was simply to hit the Restore button in iTunes. Like, 1 pixel of the progress bar every 30 minutes. Well not technically “stuck”, but glacially slow.
#MACS FAN CONTROL ERROR EXTRACTING UPDATE UPDATE#
The update downloaded fine, but then iTunes tried to backup my iPhone before installing the update, and got stuck on the “Backing up your iPhone” dialog. I tried updating my iPhone 3G to iOS 4 today (along with millions of others no doubt).
