I only had a quick look at your problem so might of missed something,

But why didn't you just back your photo's / contacts to your sd and buy a micro sd card usb reader / dongle and plug that into your laptop?

Just re-read its a crapply........probable doesn't even have a sd card

Yeah how big are there SIM cards though? I got 20gb to remove.

My god, just got home to start the back up again and it starts all over again :(

Good news, it's kicked off where it left off and now says only 6 hours left...lol

Thanks krisso, too many kids photos to loose off this device ;)

are you talking sim card or sd card? from my understanding you can only store contacts on the sim card, photos and stuff are stored on the phones memory (but could be wrong) and seeing as its a crapple, it wont have an sd card slot, so he's shit out of luck.

Just had another thought, can you connect crapple and laptop together via Bluetooth and transfer files over that way AB?

It looks like the ICloud back up does it in stages so It only backs up when you have wifi and the phone is plugged in on charge.

Which makes sense otherwise your data plan would be smashed and your phone would go flat, even though apples battery life is crap anyway.

It's done 8gb already but now stopped as I unplugged the charger.


It's just going to take a while...

SD card clunk not sim, yeh I worded it wrong.

Looks like crapple only use internal memory for storage and very limited at that........who the fark would buy such an outdated piece of crap, can't even call it technology.

And of all people Andy I though you would have better taste when it comes to tech gadgets

Yes mate, wifi not Bluetooth. My iPhone 3 which I use for music in the car does the same.
