ICloud back up - 23 hours?
As my old contract is almost up I went into the IStore and looked at the IPhone 6.
Decided that's what i'll go for after Christmas. assistant was really helpful, showed me different tarrifs etc. I asked if they would set my new phone up and transfer numbers across to new phone etc, she said yes. - I'd leave the shop with new phone working and set up as my old phone was. She said I hadn't backed up Icloud. I'd never used it and she went ahead and explained it meant if phone lost, replaced etc it still gives you access to pictures, documents etc. In the shop it said the back-up would take 45 minutes, so I decided to back up today. Only instead of 45mins it's now saying back up will take 23 hours lol ?? Can anyone explain how this can be? It's on my home Wi-Fi. thanks in advance |

Probably down to the upload speed of your broadband. The shop would have something quite fast at a guess.

I'll see how it goes, maybe they'll let me do the back up in store. She would have done it yesterday if I had been buying the new phone. |

Backup to/restore from iTunes for this time.
Once you're up and running with your new phone, let it do a wireless backup to iCloud overnight, then you're good to go. |

To make a icloud backup quicker look in the icloud settings and maybe turn off camera roll from icloud for the first back up. Pictures and videos could potentially take the longest to upload

That kinda defeats the object of backing up the phone in the first place...
