How long should sync-ing my playlists onto my nano take?

I have a pc running xp, I successfully loaded music onto my new nano once. Now, I've tried to sync again and the screen is blinking the sync symbol and displaying the message "do not disconnect." Is it frozen? Do I need to reset? It's been like this for about half an hour and I don't want to damage it by disobeying what it's telling me to do...I really need help. THANKS TONS

How long it takes depends entirely on how fast your computer is and how much your trying to sync. Dont dissconect, that could cause damage to your ipod. Just give it time, as long as the box at the top is doing something it still syncing, pressing the small arrow circle will show you how far its got and how many songs its done.

  • How long should the installation of new software for iphone take.  Mine has been downloading now for over 3 hours.  I don't want to disconnect and lose my data.

    How long should it take to update an I 4 phone to the new system.  Mine has been going for 3.5 hours and is not finished, but I don't want to disconnect and lose my data.

    Mine took about an hour or so but it mostly depends on your modem and processor speeds. You can check the progress by clicking your iphone on the left and then checking the download progress. As long as that is moving I would just leave it and wait but don't let your computer shut down.

  • How long should the upgrade from iOS6 to iOS 8 take on an iPhone 5

    Finally decided to upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios6??? to iOS 8 (which ever version is available today).
    Backed up on iTunes first.
    Launched upgrade from iTunes.
    All seem fine until got a message that could not access phone because it was locked and should enter passcode to gain access.
    Entered passcode and now on phone have progress bar which has not budged for about 3 hours.  No longer see phone as device in iTunes.
    Should I continue to be patient?

    Unless you have a very slow Internet connection it should not take 3 hours. On my 50 Mbps connecting it takes 15 minutes. While the phone is updating it may disappear from iTunes; that part is normal. But not for 3 hours. Was the phone ever jailbroken?

  • How long should One hour of DV with TC gen take to export Ref file to deskt

    DV footage in a DV timeline.
    Only TC gen effect- which I believe is real time- (plays down fine without render)
    Export QT ref (no movie self contained) takes 17 minutes??
    Ever since I've gone to SL I have been having drop frame issues, long renders, etc.
    what's up?
    I have 16gigs, ATI 4870, Dual Quad, ect. Machine should be quick (and it was)
    (SL was fresh install)
    maybe back to leopard?

    The TC gen effect is real time to play in real time, or in other words creating an hour's worth of the effect in an hour, but it can't create an hour's worth of it instantaneously when doing a qt ref export. That's what's taking 17 mins.
    As for the SL issues. I don't know, are you on FCP7?

  • How long should a search to Include Non-Indexed Files take??

    Hello,
    I left last night doing a search in Bridge and I said to include the non-indexed files ... it has been running over 12 hours???
    Is this normal on a large server?
    If I let it keep going, will it make all the future searches faster?
    thanks!
    babs

    I just did a search of at least 14,000 files and it took less than 1 minute.
    Hence my statement that Bridge (despite being a fabulous app for ingestion and sorting etc, all the work needed before the files are ready for distribution or publishing) it is lousy for use as a DAM (Digital Asset Management).
    It is also not designed for use over a network as you already clearly stated.
    To spoil your party a bit more, I just timed my search in my DAM application Canto Cumulus Single user edition. Having almost 60.000 keepers from the last 17 years in my digital archive a search took almost 2 seconds....
    Yes it is not fair because Bridge comes (somewhat) for free with PS or other CS applications and Cumulus single user is around 300 $ I believe.
    But there are some cheaper DAM applications. All those DAM apps are pretty lousy in the work Bridge is very good at. It is just trying to get the right tools for the job

  • HT1386 How long should it take to sync?

    How long should it take to sync my ipod?  I added no new music but created a new playlist. It has been well over an hour so far.

    That is too long.
    - Terminate the sync
    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try again.
    If it happens again gome back with what stage of the sync it stopped.

  • Sync time? How long should it take?

    I have just finished a big project of copying most of our classical CDs in lossless into iTunes.
    About how long should I expect it to take to sync 60GB onto my 160GB iPod Classic? There is presently about 15GB on the iPod that will have to be compared to the new material.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Mrs H

    My hubby and I have an older computer also. I believe that load time is affected by slowwer older computers too. (We have officially named our computer "Frakenstein". We say that its an old man with missing outer shell parts. lol) I load songs a little at a time. A lot of times, no more than about 3 albums at a time. Since our computer is a little slower than most, iTunes has been known to freeze for at least a minute before completeing a transfer. It snaps out of it tho. What's really annoying but that I live with (for right now) is me being impatient and clicking more than once to play a song and it restarting several times before actually playing through. lol That's ok...for now. We plan on upgrading real soon. Hopefully somewhere around Christmas.
    Blessings!

  • About how long should it take to burn slideshow onto a DVD w/ duo core iMac

    I posted this under in the general forum and rec'd no responses. Perhaps I should have started here....
    Q. About how long should I expect it to take my iMac to convert, then Burn an iPhoto slideshow (comprised of 130 338kb pictures) onto a DVD? I've done this twice (from iPhote, going to Share, then clicking "DVD") and each time it has worked perfectly. However, it seems to take about an hour or more to complete. Is this normal/ expected?? Please understand that this is my first Mac and I've never had a PC w/ a DVD burner, so I'm not sure what to expect. ..I tried running a search for the question but came up empty.
    Thanks!

    I am also doing one right now and it is taking awhile.
    The images are very large though, 1 mb each.
    They look great, but the transfer from iPhoto to iDvd is taking forever.
    Is when your system lags?
    I am topped out with 2gigs of ram and 2.0 ghz intell chip.

  • HT1202 how long should it take to sync approx 900 songs with my new computer

    How long should it take to sync my ipod to a new computer and how can I tell the progress it is making, looks like nothing is happening?

    It could take anywhere from 5 10 minutes or possibily longer depending on a number of factors, such as the amount of system resources available for syncing and how much bandwidth is available on the USB bus, etc. The best thing to do in this situation is wait it out for a while.

  • HT201269 I'm updating from my iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 and have been 'restoring' for 2 hours now and the progress bar still states I hae 6 hours remaining. Will it really take this long? How long should a restore take? It's a 32gb device. Thanks.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • How long should it take to get my old number back ...

    I moved house 4 working days ago. New house is on same exchange as old, sa asked to keep my old number.
    The order is apparently in two parts:
    1) Cease line at old address - done on day "1"
    2) Connect new line at new address - engineers "cancelled" on Day 1. No reasons given on the order and I wasn't contacted to tell me all had gone to a ball of chalk..... I'd have been none the wiser had I not bothered to check.
    Over the weekend I spoke with various people, leading to a new order for a new line, to be installed on day "4" (today). It wasn't possible to pull my old number out of the allocatable pool (presumably (good!) it was still allocated to the cancelled order?) The engineers were "asked" in a note on the order to move my old number back onto the line.
    This line is now up and running on a temporary number.
    As my O2 broadband reconnection is waiting till I have a line with a stable number on it and I am keen to get it back asap, how long should I have to wait? Is there anything that could happen that will sabotage getting my number back and what should I do to prevent this?
    Jon

    I am with you on this and am very interested also as to the answer.
    I was originally with BT, then moved to Sky as I wanted Sky TV, and thought it best to get the complete package. They never once mentioned, "oh by the way if you move home you lose your number". I think they should highlight this, and then watch there customer base drop.
    Anyways, that aside. I have decided to come back to BT, and BT have created a new number at my new address, and when the line is activated I have to call to get a renumber and hope that the number I want hasn't been taken.
    i presume by law Sky have to put the number back into the pool, and therefore should be able to get BT to get it back. Fingers crossed.
    What reasons could there be that they cant get the number back.

  • How long should it take for a new vault to be created?

    I have a late 2009 27" iMac i7 with 16GB of RAM. I use referenced masters. The masters are located on a Drobo connected with FW 800. The internal drive on the iMac is a 1TB drive. The Aperture library is located on that drive and is 158.39 GB. I have about 110,000 master images. Most of them are RAW files shot with a succession of Nikon bodies (D100, D200, D300, and D400). I am in the process of moving a vault off of the Drobo and onto another external hard drive. I started the vault creation on Friday morning (3 days, 6 hours ago) and Aperture shows that it is still working on it.
    I have read the germane threads and have given it over three days now to complete. There is very little, if any, progress on the visual indicator that the task is nearing completion. It shows the job as about halfway done. However, Aperture still shows as responding in the Force Quit menu. Aperture is currently using up 11.2 GB of available RAM. Normally, I don't have any memory swaps. Now, page ins are 13,418,681, page outs are 7,226,523, and swaps are at 43.70 GB. CPU utilization shows Aperture consistently at about 170% of capacity.
    I really don't want to force quit Aperture for fear of what state it might leave my database. On the other hand, I need my machine and I can't use it until this process finishes or I force quit it.
    How do I know if Aperture is actually doing something or is it stuck in an infinite loop? What are the repercussions of doing a force quit? How long should I wait to see if it will actually finish on its own accord?
    Any insights, comments, or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Rick

    Rick-
    You are not being ignored. I for one just do not know what to say because it depends on how badly you need the use of the Mac and how at-risk your data are. One thought would be to just use the Mac (letting Aperture page out while other apps use the RAM) but that is a risk if the RAM is frozen for some reason. It does sound like you may have a memory leak.

    What I do not understand is what you mean by "moving a vault off the Drobo." I would think that if you are making a new Vault that would involve the internal drive and the new drive, no major interaction with the very slow Drobo except to point to Masters there (I could be wrong).
    Also could some of your files be managed on the Drobo rather than referenced?

  • How can i sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle?

    How can I sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle?  Everytime I try to sync it I get the little pop up box that asks if I want to transfer and delete what new songs I have already downloaded.....i know it has something to do with sharing music libraries but not sure how to do this....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't.
    If you do not have your contacts, then you cannot sync your contacts.
    You should ALWAYS maintain a backup copy of your computer.
