iCloud Restore

    Picked up the 5s there yesterday - did a backup of my iPhone 4 yesterday afternoon, switched my sim card over and commenced the restore.

    The apps restored within 10 minutes of me switching on the phone but it's taken forever with everything else. It's only just finished the photo stream restore (c.2000 photos) at 6am this morning.

    It's now stuck trying to restore my music by the looks of it - i opened the music app and it's said "Loading iTunes Match" for the last 2.5hours.

    Is this a sever case of 'user error'? Do I just need to be patient and wait it out? Or is this something wrong somewhere? I need to upgrade to the newer iOS7 for work but it won't let me until the restore is complete.

    I'm on WiFi and have been since yesterday.

    Any suggestions/help etc would be much appreciated.

    Try disabling and re-enabling iTunes Match. It's buggy. I usually have to fiddle with it quite a bit before it works.

    Its a bit late now, but for a new phone or big upgrade, I back up to the computer and restore it that way. At least on the computer, even if it's going to take a while I start it before I go to bed and leave it run through the night.

    Tried that yeah - when I go back into the music app it freezes and then closes.

    Done a couple of soft reboots in the meantime and same issue

    I still have the old iPhone 4 here and could feasibly do a backup later this evening as a worst case scenario.
