Hi Erik,
That sounds too long to restore. You may be able to stop the
background process of the restore with Command-comma, but you might
have to force-quit iTunes (Command-Option-Escape). You might check
whether it's correctly recognized in iTunes after you've stopped the
process. If this is like a few of the initialization hangups that
some people experienced on new Nanos, your iPod classic may behave
perfectly well after the interruption. If there is a problem trying
the restore again should hopefully go through without a hitch. I
think you should be looking at a process of some minutes, not an hour,
even with the larger capacity of the classic.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi guys, any one know how long it's supposed to take to restore an
Ipod classic? I think it's been labouring away for an hour or two
here. Unfortunately I can't interact with the progress bar in that
window, so I don't know if it's moving, but I can hear that the hard
drive is powered up, and if I put the back of the unit flat against
one ear and my hand flat against the other ear, I think I can hear
activity on the drive. Two hours though... Should I be worried? I
just got it, and it was set up for windows when I need it for mac.
Thanks,
