Busted my iphone today - dropped it on the floor from a great height. As such, it's now dead. However, was covered by insurance so bought another one! Here's my problem:

Put my SIM into new phone, connected it to my MacBook and it seemed to be doing everything one would expect. However,is says "Restoring iphone from backup time remaining 1 minute". It's been stuck on that for about an hour? Don't like to disconnect it or anything and was wondering whether anyone has had anything similar happen?

Don't know about the 1 minute bit but when I replaced my iPhone and restored it to the same as the previous one it took around an hour and half or more.

I've erm had quite a few 'replacement iPhones', and have never had any problems restoring from a backup to get back all my personal data. Not really sure what to suggest, but it does normally work. Perhaps the backup its restoring from is corrupt scratchchin
