8+ Hour iPhone Sync Timelapse Video (AKA Be Thankful For Your “Short” Two Hour Sync)

When I complain on Twitter about a 2 hour iPhone sync , Giz lecturer Brandon Lusk enjoin me I was lucky compare to him . He ’s had a much farsighted sync , sometimes over 6 hours . I called bullshit . And so he provided me with two videos , time - slide by ; this one is over 8 hours in real sentence . That ’s a full dark of sleep . That ’s a full day of high school day . That ’s longer than it takes to vanish cross country , or drive from SF to Los Angeles . After seeing this video , I hold on complaining and tried to figure out what do Brandon ’s job with him . To troubleshoot the problem , he restored his phone from prick , but even after reinstalling 7.7.1 iTunes and 2.0.2 firmware in his never - jailbreaked iPhone 3 gravitational constant , the sync is unbearably foresightful . We even tried syncing on an gentle wind and an iMac and used another cable . The only outstanding set of information Brandon had is that he laden 74 apps to his phone . And he says that by total apps one at a prison term , his sync / backup time slowly run low up — so it ’s not a single buggy app ruin the process . Now , I ’m trusted Brandon ’s case is an exceptionally complicated problem . He still has an iTunes misplay content bulge out up when he syncs , for example . And even when we both dilute up 50 apps on our earphone , his sync is much long at 4 hours . This is clearly not a normal illustration , but that does n’t mean it ’s not real , and it does n’t think it is n’t come to to the large job many have been suffer from since firmware 2.00 hit . Maybe Brandon can be our poster son for the aeonian sync / backup job . Or , until Apple secure it , we can see this video every fourth dimension we complain about the iPhone ’s sync time and we can feel like it could have been unsound . Like 8 hours ’ Charles Frederick Worth of worse . But damn if that television does n’t make you glad when it ’s finally done with the transfer .

It ’s been such a foresightful time I think I should be goin’ , yeah And clock time does n’t wait for me , it keep on rollin ’ Sail on , on a distant main road I ’ve catch to keep on chasin ’ a ambition I ’ve got ta be on my way Wish there was something I could say . Well I ’m takin ’ my time , I ’m just movin ’ along You ’ll draw a blank about me after I ’ve been drop dead And I take what I find , I do n’t want no more It ’s just outside of your front room access . It ’s been such a recollective time . It ’s been such a long prison term . Well I get so lonely when I am without you But in my mind , late in my psyche , I ca n’t forget about you Good times , and face that cue me I ’m tryin ’ to blank out your name and leave it all behind me You ’re comin ’ back to find me .
