IPhone 5s VERY slow sync (or stalled?)

MacBook Pro 12" 2.4 GHz C2D, 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD, OSX Mavericks
iPhone 5s 64GB  iOS 7.0.4
Had been about a month since my iPhone had been synced to my MacBook Pro (even though it is set up to back-up wenever on wifi, it hasn't - I think another issue).
So I connected, primarily to have access to several voice memos.  Sync began, then arrived at "step 4" where it remained for over 2 hours with no progress.  I finally "ejected" my iPhone, quit iTunes, and then tried again.  It appears to be syncing correctly this time... but what's up???

Try downloading via Cellular data or while connected to another Wi-Fi network.  I suspect something in the router settings is wrong an causing the issue.

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

  • Very slow sync

    I've been experiencing very slow sync times (2.5 min) since iTunes 9.0.3. I thought that it might be a bug in that version which would be resolved in 9.1, but the issue persists. I only ever sync Apps, the rest of the categories I manage manually, yet hitting the Sync button still results in iTunes hanging for 2.5 min whilst displaying the "Syncing iPod..." message. So far I've tried restoring my iPod, reinstalling iTunes and running diagnostics, which showed everything was working fine. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Update: If I choose not to sync Apps then the sync proceeds normally. This happens even after I tried deleting all Apps on the iPod and in iTunes.

  • ITunes 10.5 very slow syncing with idevices not a backup issue

    I have the latest itunes 10.5.2 installed on my 32 bit Windows 7 pc.  Ever since i upgraded my ipod 4 and iphone 4 to ios 5 it syncs very slowly with itunes (1 song aka 5 mb every 2 min and takes like 7 min to start syncing). i have tried restoring my phone and ipod with a new profile, making my ipod or iphone backup to icloud so that kills the long backup issue, reinstallled windows and just have itunes, reinstall itunes and wipeout the appledrivers then reinstall.  The devices sync fine when i use a mac that isnt mine. i also have tried outher windows pcs with no luck. im out of ideas and im tired of wating 4 hrs just for a audiobook or a movie to sync.

    Yeah seriously, I have my first gen iPhone and never had a issue with it. Blackberry always had a horrible desktop manager for the PC for YEARS and I always had to debug the issues myself for clients. Unfortunately for a lot of my clients the Blackberry is a better device for business, just horrible desktop software.
    Eventually I'll push my client to move over to hosted exchange server, But for right now before making that push, I need to resolve this issue with the Blackberry sync. I would hate for all the work and conversion over to the Mac to be wasted over a simple issue that possibly can be resolved by a simple setting I'm over looking.
    It's also a possibility the extremely slow syncing can be caused by years of unorganized entering of contacts, but trying to sort out over 2000 contacts would be near impossible for a person with a busy schedule.

  • IPhone 4 very slow and not very responsive

    Hello - ever since updating to ios5 my phone has been significantly slower. I close my open apps regularly and don't have a crazy amount (about 6 pages worth) but the phone is just very slow. For example, if I get a text message and go to open it, and then try to click in the text box to start typing, nothing happens. It takes a good 6-8 seconds before the phone even recognizes me touching the text bar which is incredibly annoying. The camera is often slow too, having a shutter lag of 10 seconds sometimes. I would wipe my phone and do a restore, but I think that will just restore all of my backed up data which will probably not work, and I really would not want to start from scratch and lose all of my 4 years of text message history, etc. Any ideas?

    Very few apps run in the background since there is no reason or benefit for nearly all apps to do so. The overhwelming majority of apps are quit or suspended with leaving the app. An app being available in the recently used apps bar or dock does not mean the app is running in the background, and removing apps not running in the background from the recently used apps bar or dock doesn't accomplish much if anything.
    How often do you power your iPhone off and on?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    If no change after this, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, you can restore again from the existing backup.

  • Iphone 5 very slow, how do I remove music? Im using the icloud and itunes match.

    The phone locks up and restarts on its own now. Hard to navigate with it because its very slow.
    Already did a backup and restored it from the backup. Any ideas? Thanks

    Hi Super Scout,
    There are a few different reasons this could be happening, and it sounds like you're on the right track to isolating the issue.  However, it would be very helpful to go one step further and Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support. This will completely wipe everything off the phone (including the iOS software itself) and install a fresh, clean copy of iOS, just in case there is a corrupt file in there giving you the trouble.  After reinstalling iOS, set the phone up as a new iPhone temporarily to test the issue and see if it is still happening.  If so, there may be a hardware issue with the device.  Hopefully that isn't the case -- if the phone runs smoothly when set up as new then it means there was a corrupt file in the operating system or that there is something in your backup (possibly a third-party app) causing the issue.  After testing the iPhone set up as new, go ahead and restore the phone from your backup and see if the issue comes back.  If so, you may want to contact Apple Support to see if their diagnostic test helps narrow down which apps are contributing to the issue.
    Good luck!

  • Apple TV song streaming interrupted, very slow sync with keynote

    When I try to play a song or a playlist from iphone (4S and 5)  or ipad (mini) via Airplay on Apple Tv, the music is interrupted several times, sometimes the first track, sometimes after 3 track, no rules. Wifi signal is good.
    Other issue with Keynote on the iPad. I am trying to mirror a deck but it is very slow, I have to wait 2 to 3 sec between each slide
    can someone help me?
    thank you

    Thanks for the reply. I used iStumbler on the MacBook Pro and could see three other networks besides my own, and they were all on Channel 11. Mine is on Channel 6 and, given there's no overlap between channels that are separated by 5 channels or more, there should be no interference.
    However, the Apple TV reports more channels than iStumbler does and there's no way to know what channel they're on. (Hmmmm, maybe I should move the Mac to the vicinity of the ATV 2.)
    However, my local network is involved when the MacBook Pro connects to the internet - I'm using Wi-Fi, not Ethernet - so, if the MacBook Pro can upload at 1MB/sec. to the internet (and that's throttled), why is it uploading at 50-100KB/sec. to the ATV 2?

  • Backing up iPhone is very slow

    Hi,
    I've got an iPhone 2G (software 2.0) but it is backing up time is slow!!! I keep it overnight connected to my mac and it is not enough to complete the back up!!!
    What prevents me from upgrading the software is that I don't want to lose my texts saved in the iPhone and without backing up I might not be able to see my texts in case something bad happened to my iPhone
    any solutions?

    How many 3rd party apps do you have installed - especially 3rd party apps that create and store data?
    Do you have the FaceBook app installed?
    If so, try removing/deleting the FaceBook app from your iPhone, which has been reported by some to significantly increase the backup process.
    A number of 3rd party apps including the FaceBook app have been updated. Have you checked if any 3rd party apps that you have installed on your iPhone include a update that you haven't installed? This may help with the backup process also.
    Do you have a number of photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll? If so, import these photos by your computer followed by deleting the imported photos from your iPhone after the import process is complete. Photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. After these photos are imported by your computer and deleted from your iPhone, if you want any of these photos available on your iPhone for viewing, you can transfer the photos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    There may be a problem with your backup. Another option is deleting the existing backup and creating a new backup. Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Devices tab you can delete your existing iPhone backup.
    After doing so, control-click on your iPhone in the iTunes source list. At the menu window that appears, select Back Up to create a new backup.

  • IPhone 3G very slow after update to 4.x

    Dear Steve Jobs,
    did you ever tried to use an iPhone 3G running iPhone OS 4.x? Believe me, it is not the kind of product you will like. Could you please intervene and get in contact with responsible apple software engineers. Thank you!
    iPhone OS 3.1.2 was very much faster.
    Kind regards,
    Axel

  • ITunes VERY SLOW Syncing Optimizing Photos

    iTunes 10.1.1.4 is so,so slow when i sync photos to iphone.
    All photos are already sized to 480x320 72PDI. there are 579 photos in my library for a total of only 85MB's and itunes after 30 minutes is only on 33 of 579. this will take at least a day to do just 86MB of photos. if you dont fix this soon I can see you will loose a lot of customers.

    This is soooooooooooooo bad...
    I have tryed now for 3 days to get 21 MB of photos synced, yes that right just 21 MB, it has taken over 12 hours so far. I have to stop so I can use my phone. looks like I might be able to finish it tonight.
    you need to start over on the photo sync part of iTunes.

  • IPhone 3GS extremely slow sync

    Hi,
    I've got a 32Gb 3GS and I performed a restore yesterday. It's now still doing a sync some 24 hours later and it's still only synced about 13Gb worth of stuff with another 13Gb to go. Is it this slow for anyone else??

    Wow that's a lot of data/media to sync at one time.
    Are you connected to one of the USB ports on the back of the computer? or are you connected via a Hub?
    If you are using a USB 1.0 port/hub, it will take a long time to move the data.
    Sometimes you can experience slow transfer issues when using any Hub, even the USB ports on the front of the computer.

  • Iphone 5 VERY SLOW after updating to IOS 6.1.3.  What is wrong? Restoring it does nothing.

    My Iphone 5 is miserably slow after updating to IOS 6.1.3.   I've tried restoring it and nothing works.  What happened? It's even restarting over and over on its own

    I guess it of no use...It is with subscription....batteries issues will not be entertain....Lots of reasons. Company will not entertain batteries issues unless is really serious.
    Anyway, I will continue to use it with bare Apps...I will not buy any apps, no movies, musics...cause it would last me a day.  I will definitely not buy any Apps.
    the last verison 6.02 was definitely better at battery management...this version is really bad.  Do not know why some users said 6.10 improved the battery....but mind did not.
    Forget about buying Apple products again...this is mind first time using a smartphone (as a gift too)...and how disappointed I am.  Truely, if company wants users to use their products, they should give decent batteries...the IP5 has the same battery as the 4S and 4S last at least 2 days. 
    With all the hype and marketing that Apple is making...a decent battery should be provided.... I am not asking for anything more....what is the point of having the most advance IOS or hardware..when batteries cannot give users a decent life (2 - 3 days are good enough) not 1 or less day....By the Way, IP5 isn't cheap.  It is were, I would not waste my time posting here....
    This is really hopeless and pointless
    Disappointed, really disappointed and displease.  anyway to get back version 6.02..cos 6.10 really hopeless for me.
