Why does "finishing sync" take a long time

I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3, connected to iMac 2010 running 10.7.5.
I have thousands of photos in iPhoto and have been syncing with my phone without a problem. I recently bought a Canon EOS Rebel, and synced a lot of photos in JPG mode with that camera also.
Last night, I took a dozen photos with the Canon, then imported them to iPhoto, no problem. But when I tried to sync with my iPhone, the new photos do not show up. I changed the sync settings to be "3 most recent events" but I don't get the event, or sometimes I have seen the event on the phone, but there are no photos in the folder.
Also, when syncing, iTunes shows "finishing sync" for a long time, like it is waiting for something.
I tried making an album with my new photos, and enabling syncing of that album, but that does not work either. Any ideas?

Did you check your security software (firewall and anti-virus)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My iPad air 2 takes a LONG time time to charge

So I recently got a IPad Air 2 and I have used the 10w charger which it came with but it takes a LONG time to charge. In around 1 hour is only goes up around 10% and the charger gets quite hot. Also sometimes it displayed the message,"Not charging," up in the corner where the battery symbol is. Now I got the 12w wall plug charger and it's abit faster and the charger gets hot but not as hot as the other one just warm. I haven't had the message,"Not charging," yet.
Has anyone had the same issue or can help because I don't think It is a battery issue as the iPad air 2 is brand new and I only got it 2 days ago.

Mine is a new IPAD Air and I have about 50 apps - the device has been trying to download/sync my apps overnight and it is nowhere near done......I have been trying to do it through Itunes leaving it with the IMAC (syncing computer) overnight but it is nowhere near done......
The IMAC uses a wireless connection for Itunes, etc.....
As of now the IPAD Air is showing that it is downloading but I wonde whether I should shut it down and restart?
The downloads have been going on for about 12 hours.....

Why it takes a long time for my MacBook Air to turn on?

I brought my MacBook Air at a Power Mac Center to fix vertical lines on the screen. The vertical lines were removed. But since then, when I turn on my laptop, it takes a long time before it actually turns on. Sometimes, after pressing the power button, something seems to run at the upper left corner of the keyboard (near the power adapter) but it takes me practically hours before it actually turns on.
And when it is turned on already, I observed some unusual behaviors happening:
- Sometimes, while it is turned on, the battery status in the menu bar looks operating normally, but after a while, the trackpad will no longer work until the battery status says, "No Battery Available" and "Power source: Power Adapter".
- Sometimes, several horizontal lines appear on the screen then after a while the laptop will hang up.
- Sometimes, the sound sounds abnormal then after a while the sound no longer operates, and when I check the Sound at the System Preferences, it says, "No input devices found"
- Several applications do not work anymore, like Calendar, TextEdit, Reminder, Facetime, Preview and others.
Please help me figure out the problem. I cannot use my laptop as regular as before. I can no longer catch up with paper work deadlines because of these problems.

Please, help me. I need an immediate response so I could try to fix the problem because I need to use my laptop right away. Pls help.

ITunes takes a long time to open, or doesn't open at all.

I recently had problems with iTunes where it just wouldn't open. I did a factory reset on my computer, however it takes a long time to open and works really slow. When I try to sync, it takes around in hour.

Exchange Online, Outlook 2013 - Copying large emails to public folders takes a long time

We are using Office 365 and when copying a large email (with attachment) to a public folder in exchange online, the copy takes a long time. Outlook does not let you do anything until it's finished coping. This is different to other folder
behavior in outlook where the sync with EO would happen in the background. Is there a way round this? It's really frustrating to copy a load of emails to a public folder.
Thanks.

Hi,
I recommend you ask in office 365 forum, there are more experts to help you:

It takes a long time to open an app and sometimes it will just crash, any idea how to fix it?

My four year old Macbook Pro couldn't start yesterday and after going through solutions and all, it worked. But now it's freaking laggy and whenever I want to open an app, it takes a long time or the app will just crash. Any idea how to fix it? I really need the speed and everything back.

noeleeeen,
so you have an external hard disk, onto which you deleted/moved files from your internal hard disk, so that you now have 143 GB or so free on your internal hard disk — is that correct? Is the external disk purely for backups (e.g. a Time Machine destination), or does it function as a supplement to your internal disk?
Was it entirely your personal data files (documents, photos, movies, music, &c.) which you’d deleted or moved to the external disk, or did you also delete/move apps, libraries, &c. over there?
I’m not familiar with Echofon Lite, so I can’t comment on it, but an Apple-supplied app like the App Store shouldn’t crash.
Have you tried running Disk Utility yet, to see if its verification process gives your disks its seal of approval?

Firefox takes a long time to close since a recent update and hogs memory.

Since one of the recent updates that started using plugin containers, Firefox takes a long time to close. If I try to go back it, it tells me it is still running. I liik in Task Manager and about seven plug-in container. exe's are running and I have turned off or disabled mostplugins and addons, even Quicktime. Firefox uses an obscene amount of RAM on my XP machine and has made it sluggish. I use XP SP3. This started after you added the plugin containers in one of the recent updates earlier in the year. For the features it offers me or doesn't offer me, rather, it uses way too much RAM and is too sluggish. And takes a very long time to close out when I close the browser. It uses about twice as much RAM as it used to.

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
See "Hang at exit":

Macbook takes a long time to recognize power soure

Hello,
I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 that is exhibiting some strange behavior in regards to the power source. When I plug the power cord in it takes a while, sometimes as long as 3 minutes to recognize that it the computer is no longer running on battery anymore. Similarly it takes a long time to realize it's no longer running via a power cord when I remove the power cord from the machine. In all cases it eventually catches up and makes the proper switch, but I'm a bit concerned as this behavior is relatively new. I've tried swapping out power cords and it doesn't make any difference. I only have one user on the machine but could create a test account and try to see if this behavior is account specific if someone things that is worthwhile. Another thing to note, I believe the battery level indicator is correct, because often when it catches up after I've inserted the power cord the percent full jumps a couple of digits, as if it'd been charging for a while. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas that I could try to remedy this? So far, I've really only tried repairing disk permissions as I've never seen an issue like this before. Thanks.

Firefox takes a long time to load, even with add-ons and auto-update disabled

When opening firefox it takes a long time (1 minute +) to load. The computer does not display any indication that firefox is loading (often leading to 2, 3 or 4 instances of Firefox trying to start due to my impatience).
My OS is Windows Vista 32 bit
Firefox is v4.0.1

Can you check your Windows Firewall settings? It's possible that it's routing Firefox requests differently. At least one other Firefox user has reported that his Windows Firewall was set to block Firefox 3.6.

Import of Apex Application to another instance takes a long time

Hi,
I have developed an apex application which is of size -24 MB .While importing the appl to another instance it takes a long time (few hours). The imported appl is working fine so far.
What should be the ideal time for the import of this size appl ?
Is it the usual due to the size of the app or some thing is wrong with the app ?
Any one can please throw some light on this, as I am unable to figure out if it the appl issue or the DB issue.
Thanks in advance!

The application is getting imported and running, so you do not really have a problem in hand.
24M is big, but not all that big to run for hours.
The time taken depends on the resources available on the server where you are trying to import. If the load on that server is high then the resources will be shared between all the processes run on it, and the import process will run longer.
Monitor disk and CPU usage, it will provide you some clues. Try importing at offpeak time and it should run faster if there is a server resource issue.
Regards,

My mac takes a long time to log on, running slow

my imac is running slow & takes a long time logging on, anyone knows why this happens?

If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.
