I have an ipad 1, how long should it take to sync to my PC?

This is the first time it will have been synced in over 6 months, but it has already taken 7 hours, and looks like it is only half way though stage one (back-up stage). is this normal??

Depending on how much content you put on the iPad in the last six months - it could take a while but seven hours seems way too long to me ... But I have no idea what you've downloaded to the device in that time.
You really shouldn't wait for six months to go by before syncing. I don't let six days pass without backing up and syncing. However, it's your choice to make but realize that the consequences of that choice may not be in your best interest.

HT1711 how long should it take to sync?

how long should it take to sync? my ipod classic was acting up so i reset in itunes and it is taking forever to sync. i have about 4 days worth of music and 30 days of podcasts.

After the download of the iOS update is done, it can take an hour or more for the update. The download itself can take hours.

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.

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.

How long should it take to sync iPad?

My iPad seems to take a long long time (over an hour) to sync, even though I have used less than 3GB of capacity. My iPad software is up to date and I am syncing with Windows Vista.

That's way too long. My 64GB iPad is nearly full, and most syncs take less than a minute (obviously, the initial sync was fairly long). I'd try the following:
1. On your iPad, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All. You'll have to re-enter some passwords for wi-fi, and reconfigure a few apps, but you won't lose any data.
2. If that doesn't solve the problem, connect your iPad to your computer and in iTunes choose the option to Restore your iPad. This will erase everything, so make sure you have everything backed up first!
3. Try syncing using a different USB port. Don't use a port in a hub or on a keyboard -make a direct connection to your computer.
4. Borrow/use a different cable. A defective cable can cause a lot of problems.
If none of these solves the problem, it could be a Windows issue, or a defective iPad. I'd call AppleCare and tell them what you've already tried. They should be able to solve the problem, or replace your iPad.

How long should it take to sync 8000 songs?

HI,
I had to completely wipe my iPhone 4S. I started to sync my music back to it at 19h00 last night. It is now 15h30 the next afternoon and it is still syncing. It has now done 6000 out of the 8000 songs. Most of my music is in 256 AAC format so I have ticked the block to convert to 128 AAC to save space. I am using the USB cable and not WiFi sync. My 4S is running 7.1.2 and I am using a Windows 7 laptop.
Is it normal for a sync to take this long?
Thanks
Daniel

It may be taking longer than normal because you have the "convert" option checked as well. Not only does it have to sync the songs then but each song that needs to be converted will also take up some more time.

How long should it take to sync?

I'm trying to sync my iphone5S with my laptop and itunes has been on "step 4" of sync for hours. Is this normal? What should I do (if anything)?

Details: Laptop Itunes' "syncing data to Rita's iphone" seems to be stuck on "Item 4: Waiting for Items to Copy". It's been churning for several hours, on both the laptop and the phone. Current IOS is 7.1 and I was about to update to 7.1.1 when this problem arose. I still have 8 GB free on the phone, so I don't think this is a phone capacity issue.

Hey Beck,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve Reset All Settings on your iPhone 4s and now you’re running into an issue where the device only displays an Apple logo on startup. The article linked below provides troubleshooting suggestions that should be able to help you resolve the issue.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.

How long should it take my iPad to charge

How long should it take my iPad to charge?

What model iPad? 1,2,3,4 or mini? When you ask a question, you need to provide enough info to answer.
I assume you mean from near 0% to 100%.
Depending on the model, it takes 3 to about 8 hours.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

TS4062 How long should it take to set up my ipad using itunes?

How long should it take to set up my ipad using itunes? Everything went blank on my iPad and I am attempting set it up using itunes. It has been connected for 45 min and gives me a set up incomplete message if I attempt to exit.

I did some check on available sources on the topic and it seems that the app data is often causing a slow backup:
What causes the slow backup?
It’s the Apps! Apps on the iPad might store data to work properly. Some do store a lot, some don’t. For instance a game saves some highscore data (not very much), where a newspaper App or a rss reader might save updated data (can be very much). I believe lots of iPhone users, that experiencing slow backups, have problems with one or many Apps that are leaking in terms of saving tons of tiny files to the iPhone, especially when they have a lot of Apps and when they did backups cross devices (i.e. iPhone 2G to iPhone 3GS).
The article on this website http://apdevblog.com/slow-itunes-sync-backup/ should provide more information and hopefully a fix for your issue!

I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.
