Extremely slow sync for iPhone4 with up-to-date iOS

Windows XP, plenty of memory, all itunes and iphone software up-to-date. Sudden decline in syncing speed has become rediculous. It takes 60 plus hours to sync music of 27GB. If a reinstall causes an automatic sync, I lose my access to all the content of my phone nearly instantly, and have to reset, and resync full conent. CRAZY!  I may switch to Galaxy phones if this keeps up.
Please help. I am not syncing photos, calenders are not a problem, contacts seem to duplicate occasionally without predictability.

The most likely explanation is that iPhoto is recreating the Photo cache for the phone. It only sync images optimised for the phone screen.
When is the last time you actually added all these photos to the phone? This
I am used to seeing the numbers count up so fast they are almost blurry:  syncing image 565 of 8654, 566, 567.
doesn't sound like the files are being copied, but rather than they are being checked.

    how can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

    Hi,
    This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

  • When I sync my Iphone4 with outlook, the calander is not sync

    When I sync my Iphone4 with outlook, the calander is not sync (contact & and notes sync OK .I marked the calander to sync. I reinstalled Itunes and reset the Iphone)

    I have encountered the same problem, could not fix it so started using google calander sync as a work around. Now it works better than a sync. i don't even have to be at my computer for the sync to work!! I would however like to find out what the problem is. it work for abou 100 syncs.
    Now the calander syncs to the phone but not the other way around.

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
    Thank you

  • I was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was pgraded to ios version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.  There is nothing else we can suggest.

  • Cant sync new iPhone4S with current version of iTunes (10.6.3)

    Trying to sync new Iphone4S with an older Mac (OS X 10.5.8) to pull music and photos from Mac.  When i plug in IPhone to the Mac, it says I need to update to iTunes (currently version 10.6.3) 11.1 or higher, but my Mac cant update to iTunes 11.  Any suggestions? 

    Your Mac is running an operating system version that is now four versions old.  Leopard (OS X 10.5) was released in October, 2007.
    At a minimum, you must purchase the next version (Snow Leopard, which came out in 2008) and update it to version 10.6.8 to install the current version of iTunes.
    You can purchase it here:

    Sorry to dig this out, but i just ran exactly into the same problem using a 7600GT. Reverting the appropriate libraries to 9.2.4 lead to a segfault in Compiz, deleting the libvdpau_nouveau files, however worked perfectly - thanks cro for the hint. But I guess, this is not a permanent solution, is there a better way to fix it? Maybe a bug report mentioning the problem would be of some use?

  • Blackberry desktop for Mac and Bold 9900 - extremely slow syncing?

    Is it just me or does it take forever just to sync a few changes to photos or music to my Bold 9900 using the Blackberry desktop on mac?   Ok granted the first time I added over 1000 songs, several playlists and about 40 photos from iPhoto via the sync software, it took over 3 hrs to sync.  Personally I find that extremely slow, especially when comparing to my ipad or iphone and itunes syncing.   Today I wanted just to remove one photo album from my phone, so unticked it and resynced again.   Over half an hour before it finished!  The registering media with device step takes a very long time, as does the initial preparation stage......  surely there must be something wrong?  
    Without the wifi sync feature i can't imagine it being practical just to add one song to my phone through this software before popping out with the phone in the car.... I would need to give myself over 30 minutes in advance.
    Any advice or help most appreciated.
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hey midinotes,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    It can take quite awhile to synchronize media to your BlackBerry.  Especially with the songs, 1000 songs it is normal to take a few hours.
    The easiest way I add music to my BlackBerry is dragging the media files to the media card.  It's a lot quicker.

  • Extreme slow syncing & huge backup folder

    The problem I'm having is 2-fold: 1. My 3GS syncs extremely slow; approx. 12 hrs.! And 2.: If I check the backup folder in home/library/applicationsupport/MobileSync, it's huge: over 1 Gig. Allthough I have ~ 11 Gigs on the phone, I don't understand this size. Shouldn't it be no more than a couple of megs? If I'm correct, the backup folder only contains info about the apps and other content that's on the phone. The apps are in iTunes/Mobile Applications. I have no explanation for this problem, tried deleting de backup folder and fresh syncing, but to no effect. Can anyone help out? Thanks in advance! Patrick

    This link provides the data included with your iPhone's backup, which includes photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll, contact info, various iPhone settings, recent calls, call favorites, SMS/MMS, Safari history/cache/cookies, email account settings, wi-fi network settings, 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app.

    Something may be wrong with your backup or with some of the data included with the backup since it shouldn't take 12 hours or anywhere close to that. My iPhone's backup takes well less than 5 minutes. You can delete the existing backup and create a new backup to see if this makes any difference. An initial new backup will take longer that succeeding backups.

  • Apple TV and/or Airport extremely slow syncing - Unique or common problem?

    This is my first post and I'd appreciate help.
    My Apple TV has worked fine for the last few weeks but started playing up last weekend. It now syncs either very slowly or not at all. Have tried every workaround suggested in this forum. Also spent 3 hours on phone with Apple technician this morning who could not diagnose problem (but has gone away to consult internally).
    Apple TV is (was) connected wirelessly to Airport Extreme which is connected via ethernet cable to iMac, with all the latest software installed on everything.
    Factory resets of both Apple TV and Airport Extreme worked for a bit, then same problem re-emerged. Direct ethernet connection of Apple TV to Airport Extreme also worked for a bit, but then same problem appeared, and then Apple TV disappeared from Devices list in iTunes and could not be recovered even after reboot. Direct connection to iMac also worked initially, but then same problem (slow syncing, then disappears from Devices list) re-emerged. Can see Apple TV in Devices in iTunes if wireless connection is restored, but only with extraordinarily slow syncing.
    Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it unique or common? Any suggestions for fixes?

    By current release software I was referring to the AEBS firmware, the Apple TV software and iTunes. You can run the "Check for Updates" tool for each to make sure that they are up to date.
    Since you reported the same problem when connected either by Ethernet cable or by wireless that would obviously rule out any wireless problems such as RF interference. The only possibilities left would be that something else is loading down your network or there is a hardware failure somewhere.
    If there is a bad component in the AEBS I would expect it to affect your computer as well as the Apple TV. If there is a hardware failure in the Apple TV I would expect it to show up whether syncing, streaming or watching movie trailers or YouTube videos.
    One other possibility might be that if you have any anti-virus software on your computer it might slow things down if it is scanning the files while they are syncing or streaming.

  • Extremely slow sync after upgrading to iPhone2.0

    Even since I upgrade the iPhone to 2.0 firmwire, each sync is extremely slow. It would say "backing up iPhone" for like 15 minutes before real syncing starts.
    What did I do wrong that would cause this lengthy backup? How can I avoid that in the future?

    I restored my phone over the weekend. The sync returned to normal when I turned the Apps sync off.
    I experimented with the phone by turning on a few Apps syncing. When I sync the first time, it went okay. Then without changing any apps, I made a few changes in the address book, sync'ed again, it was getting slower, made a few more changes in the address book, sync'ed again, the sync time kept growing. I didn't time it, but felt like each sync is doubled.
    Since the sync now takes hours after a few syncs from a restore, I am quite sure it will reach the 12+ hour sync I experienced before the restore. The sync is taking so long that it is almost impossible to try things out to see a pattern.
    But based on someone's observations, the problem is related to Apps Sync.
    And it is doubling after each sync. So within days, your iPhone is render inoperable. So my advice is don't touch the Apps Store with a 10 foot pole until Apple gives an answer on what is going on.

  • Extremely Slow Sync on Windows 7

    Hello
    I recently installed Windows 7 on my system. Before that I had Vista and before that I had XP, both systems synced really quickly with no problems.
    Now that im on Windows 7, iTunes is syncing music to my iPod touch very slowly. Iv posted this on other forums and tried removing and installing all traces of apple software and iv tried disabling backup. Nothing is working.
    Please help, im starting to really get annoyed with this.

    iTunes itself was running extremely slow on my computer. I would click a song to play and it'd take several seconds to register the click.
    It wasn't an issue with the computer, as it is a new i7 (quad-core/hyperthreading)computer with 16gbs of ram and running Windows 7. Following advice from elsewhere, I tried running iTunes 'as an administrator'.. and it sped up considerably.
    To run as administrator:
    * Right-click iTunes icon
    * Select 'Properties'
    * Click 'Compatibility' tab
    * Check 'Run this program as an administrator'
    * Click 'ok'.
    A side note, running as administrator will cause you to click 'ok' on the UAC notice when you first run the program. To me, this was preferably to the program running so slow.

  • 1415 fnw printer wireless connection extremely slow or not working with OS X, works with windows

    The wireless connection to the printer is either extremely slow or not working at all on OS X Yosemite.  It shows up in the list of printers in Bonjour in Safari, and I can connect to parts of the web interface if I wait a very long time.  However, I cannot add the printer as a new printer in System Preferences even though the printer shows up.
    I have upgraded to the latest firmware.  The WiFi indicator on the printer is on, "green", and it has a reserved IP showing up in my router (ComCast).  It seems that Windows machines can printer to the printer wirelessly without a problem.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hello @sscotti,
    I would like to assist you today with installing your wireless HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer on your Mac OS X 10.10 Computer. Now you indicate in your post that this printer works fine with Windows computers, and you are able to 'see' the Bonjour printer on your Mac. Therefore, the issue that you are experiencing is not network related. Rather, I do believe that you are experiencing a driver conflict on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Can I please have you run the steps below to resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
    First, I'm going to have you 'clean up' your Mac OS X 10.10 computer to verify that any trace of your Laserjet printer is gone so we have a nice clean slate to work with. Please click here and when the website opens select the drop down for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' as the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.10. Run the appropriate uninstall steps for the method in which you originally tried to install your printer: Apple Updates, or the HP Driver download.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Please click here to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.10 drivers for your HP Laserjet printer. 
    Once the website opens select the 'download' button on the top left
    Once the download has completed, please follow the onscreen steps to reinstall your printer.
    Once the reinstall is complete, test the print and scan functions to ensure that your printer is functioning as per normal.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should you still be experiencing issues there are additional steps I can have you run through. I look forward to hearing from you. Good luck!
