Ah, I think we're talking about different things. While backing up, it is true that there is no progress bar that you can see. But when the backup process completes, you should hear a chime and you should also be able to tell, with JAWS, that the phone is finished backing up and ready, as you say, to use. This is because the message "backing up" and the stop button will be gone, and replaced with the normal sync button.
I wouldn't be surprised if the jailbreaking process interferes with iTunes backups, but my phone is not jailbroken. Aside from the issue I described, you should be able to tell when your phone is syncing or backing up and when it's ready to use. Grant On 1/7/13, Tara Prakash <[email protected]> wrote: > Okay.
