why is my 4S taking forever to sync

I won't tell you to reinstall Vista. How about dual booting with XP that you probably had before. Then run iTunes in XP.

  • Trying to sync my new ipod touch and it is taking forever to sync is this normal?

    I'm trying to sync my new ipod touch and it is taking forever to sync is this normal?

    At what stage it is freezing?
    There are six steps or so.
    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    taking forever to sync my ipod classic

    Same problem and there appears to be multitudes of us out there who are having sync problems with the latest iTunes update. You would think Tech Support would be on this.

  • IPad and iTunes taking forever to sync out of the blue

    My iPad synced in 'normal' time, just under 10 minutes, yesterday. Today, the syncing is taking forever! Appears that a completely new backup was done, and now it barely moves. I did not download anything to iPad between these syncs. I used it, charged it, and shut it down and restarted it. Any suggestions?

    HI...
    In the iTunes window with the Summary tab selected, check the bottom of that window to make sure there's enough free space available.
    If there's enough space, check out the information here for managing content manually.

  • IPhone 4S taking forever to sync after iOS 7 update

    My iPhone 4S is taking forever to completely sync the back up after updating to the new iOS 7 operating system. It's stuck in step 6 of 6 'waiting for items to copy'. Please help!

    I was having this same problem with iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS 7 and iTunes.  It was just taking forever on the 'waiting for items to copy' step.
    I disabled Genius on my iTunes setup, and immediately it resumed and completed that step.  Seems like it was waiting for Genius results that weren't there, or weren't available.
    I have a large iTunes library and still like to manually manage the music on my iPhone.
    I guess I'll live without Genius until Apple can fix this.
    iTunes Genius can cause manual sync of music to iPhone to hang for a long time.

  • HT1766 Why is my restore taking so long?

    Why is my iPhone 5 restore from iCloud taking so long?

    I FOUND A SOLUTION as to why the iCloud restore to my iPhone 5 was taking so long (3 days).
    It basically boiled down to my phone trying to download & restore iTunes music from my other apple id. It asked for it initially, but the tech on the phone told me I could skip it...don't skip it. My music is with one id (macbook) and my apps are with my most used id (iphone).
    I checked my phone to see if I had iTunes music waiting to download/reinstall...and there was, but it wasn't downloading. 
    On my phone, I went to settings, icloud, signed out of my most used id, signed in to my other id, downloaded that music, then signed back out.
    My phone was ready to go in seconds!
    **I highly suggest using wifi to perform your iCloud restore***
    I was on my way to the Genius Bar in the morning, but now things are resolved. I really hope this helps someone!

  • Why is my router taking forever to respond?

    Something is odd with my WRT610N router.  Some of my family cannot connect to it wirelessly at all.  I'm been trying to connect to the router's web address for the last 15 minutes.  Nothing at all is happening.  I think 15 minutes of failing to attach is too long.
    What's wrong?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Once you have reset the router, you can manually configure it.
    For Cable connection, here's the procedure.
    For DSL connection, here's the procedure.
    Make sure you have a unique SSID. Here's the procedure.
    Check your internet connection after setting it up. You should add wireless security on the router. Here's the procedure.

  • Upgraded to Aperture 3.1, taking forever to sync MobileMe galleries

    Just upgraded to Aperture 3.1 a couple days ago. After the images in my library were updated, Aperture was taken over by attempts to sync and retrieve MobileMe gallery images.
    All my MobileMe albums try to update over a DSL line and it's just crawling. Tried to just kill off the galleries, to no avail.
    Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a work-around? Kind of crazy to have Aperture be taken over on upgrade with no possibility to simply cancel the updates.
    Steve

    Yes me too!
    I'm losing a lot of confidence in why I pay anything for mobileme, more on that elsewhere.
    Aperture / Preferences is inaccessible because when Preferences is opened it is stuck under the web tab with mobileme and the rotating disk of ****.
    Activity monitor reports Aperture is not responding.
    Force quit and restarted many times.
    I am willing to discard mobileme all together even though I just got billed for my annual subscription to get Aperture back to normal.

  • Photos taking Forever to syncing

    I have the Iphone 4 and the lastest version update 5.1.1
    Okay I just resore my phone about 2 hours ago or so and i have everything back except MOST of my photos. I am really frustrated right now because i had over 1,000 photos and only 47 were synced but the rest arent. Why is it doing this?

    Hide your Libraries in a (temporary) new folder, then launch FCP X. If it creates a new Library, and launches OK, you probably have corrupted media or render files in one or more existing Libraries.
    Quit the application, and drag one Library back to its original position and launch FCP X again. If that opens, repeat the process until you find the faulty Library.
    If FCP X doesn't launch when there are no existing Libraries, Uninstall it following Apple's instructions and reinstall it from the App Store (using the same login that the app was bought with).

    Also, seperate note - how do I add a movie project from one library to another library?
    You can COPY a Project to an Event in another Library by clicking on the Project and dragging it, or you can MOVE the Project to an Event in another Library by dragging (as above) but pressing the Cmd button a moment before you release the mouse to drop the Project into the new Event.
    When you release the mouse, a window will appear telling you what's going to happen - if it's not what you want, you did it wrong.

  • IPhone taking FOREVER to sync !

    I understand that there are a lot of threads on this subject, but come on ! I synced everything except music to see if it helps. Then when I start to sync, it takes approximately 25- 30 seconds per song to sync. They are MP3's ! I used to put 1,000 songs on an old mp3 player in just a few minutes. At this rate, to put my approx. 1,200 songs that I want on my iPhone,,,,,will take hours. This is nuts.

    The solution to the iPhone sync problems is actually quite simple. The problem cause long sync times is that you have data in the iPhone. This includes Pod-casts, Music, Apps and the like. All you need to do is delete all of this stuff and the iphone will sync immediately

  • Taking FOREVER to sync contacts and calendar with 3G, Itunes8, Leopard

    I recently switched from the original iPhone to the 3G model. No problems. Happy with the phone. I also recently "upgraded" to iTunes 8.0. Not happy.
    I have about 500 contacts on my computer (running iCal and MS Entourage) and hundreds of appointments in my calendar. It used to take maybe 10 min to sync my phone and macbook pro. now it has been running 45 min and is STILL synching the calendar.
    what the heck is going on? anyone else having this problem? Also, I recently (yesterday) upgraded to 10.5.5 but this was happening on 10.5.4 also.
    I'm stumped, and I haven't got time to look at this stupid "synch" message all day.
    thanks
    dc

    Any way I can sync contacts and calendar between the imac and laptop on the same home network without using icloud
    Not unless you upgrade the iMac to Lion v10.7.2 first.

  • Nano taking forever to sync

    I plugged in my brand new Nano last night, and after 8 hours it had only synced one song out of 2500. I don't have eight years to wait for this process. What's wrong?

    Many people have been experiencing sync issues since upgrading to 7, and it's not just a mini problem (my own 30gb 5G is slower than it was. Have you been able to complete a full sync yet? If not, the first is always the longest so it might be worth having a little patience and leaving it for a while (mine took ~1.5 hours, it's now down to 4-5 minutes). If not have you tried reinstalling iTunes?

  • Calendar taking forever to sync?

  • HT1386 Syncing taking FOREVER

    why is it taking forever to sync my ipad? its been syncing for about 45 mins I cant eject or anything is it ok to disconnect from computer??

    You're welcome.
    You won't lose everything.
    All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
    All photos and/or videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Did you read the info included with the link provided? If so, have you imported all photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll followed by deleting the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete? If so, any change with your iPhone's backup time after doing so?
    Contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, so none of this data will be lost either.
    If your iPhone's Camera Roll is empty and no change with it empty, you can try deleting the existing backup followed by manually creating a new backup. Go to iTunes > Preferences and under the Devices tab select the current backup followed by selecting Delete.
    With your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up to create a new backup.
