Re: Anyone tried to upgrade to iOS4 yet?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the response. I'm definitely using USB2, although yes, I do have
daisy chained hubs. Can't say that that has noticeably caused a problem in
the past though, but given what you have said, I will stop the current
backup and connect direct.

Would you expect a received phone call to interrupt the process though?

Cheers
Mark

But I have no clue as to whether or not the backup is actually working....

pop up initially had a progress bar that scrolled back and forth, but now
has no indication of progress whatsoever - the progress bar is just grey.

Unusual that, but it is supposed to be a phone. Anyhow, since that phone
call, the iPhone itself is no longer showing the 'Sync In Progress' screen.

the backup? Who knows!! Neither iTunes nor the iPhone itself seem to want
to tell me!
