IPod taking over 5 hours to sync

I have just got my iPod touch. It's not new I got int of eBay so it's been used before. I have synced it twice before and took 3-4 mins but this time its taking aproxitmly over 5 hours. It's still on step to backing up. I have read an other article about this and the response was to sync more but how could If I just got this two days ago.
I hope you can shed some light on this for me.

I would try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Why is installing 3 applications from a creative cloud packager taking over an hour?

Dear Adobe community,
I am trying to install 3 Creative Cloud applications, (Illustrator, photoshop, and indesign) on a Windows 7 Hpz420 workstation from a USB hard drive and it is taking over an hour to complete. i created a package of the 3 applications using the CC packager and move the package over to a USB drive. Then I start the installer exe it runs and completes, but the installation takes over an hour and 1/2. My installation of Creative Suite 5.5 from a similar USB hard drive was much quicker, about 1/2 hour.
I don't want to use a remote installer like AAMEE. Is there a different way to create a package that is more efficient? I also don't want to redown the applications everytime I need to install them on a machine and utilize my network bandwidth.
Is this normal ? I have rebuilt the package with the same results and have installed CC on two different machines with the same results. I did not see anything in the forums about the installation being so slow so I am concern that I have missed something or that my results are not normal.
Your help is appreciated.

My "Gaming" computer (Toshiba Qosmio X-70A, w/ 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processors @2.7 Ghz, w/ 250GB SSD, 750GB high-speed 7,200 RPM primary & 1TB SSD/HD hybrid drive) was purchase specifically, by me, to learn & use the Adobe "Cloud" Apps with. This computer is a beast. <And - yet> it takes me days, literally <DAYs> to download all the apps I am using/studying.
I (last week) recently had my 1st "total meltdown" w/ Win 8.1-Pro (what a total P.O.S. "OS" this is!) & have faced the daunting task of re-installing ALL of the Adobe SW available over the "Creative Cloud". This will take days (w/ a direct DSL link to a Cat-6 cable; not on Wi-Fi) to "re-install" all the "Creative Cloud" software I was learning/working with. Insane. I have never seen anything like this!
So, "DLi" - I agree! Adobe's SW (& HW) Engineers don't give a stuff about your time nor mine.
The only things that are of importance to them are (#1 - "Keeping their jobs") ... metering out their "Creative Cloud" in a manner which allows them to investigate EVERY byte on your computer/server/device BEFORE allowing you to use it . . . (hmmm....I do wonder how many dollars per month that information is worth to the NSA / per seat)?) ... and making it "a nightmare" for the user.
What an insult!
What an horrific slap in the face to each & every one of Adobe's "Creative Cloud" paying customers! (Uhhhm, that'd be you and that'd be me, too).

MY IPOD U2 EDITION IS TAKING OVER 24 HOURS TO REFORMAT FOR MY PC

Please help me, i dont exactly have the greatest computer because i loaded it up with stuff... but with my shuffle i didt have any problems... i just recently got the U2 Edition, and i as just wondering is it supposed to take over 24 hours for my pc to reformat and reboot the ipod??? Thats what its doing, so if any one can answer me, i have a feeling it has to do with my pc, but if theres anything i can do to make this thing go faster!!!PLEASEEEE ANSWER!!!!

All i did was uninstall my ipod shuffle itunes *it said i had to* and i reinstalled the software that came with the U2 version, and it said that my ipod had to be formatted, so i thought it would take a couple of hours, but its definatly taking days. Is tehre anything I can do!??As for the ipod updater that i could install, it was saying that that it couldn't do it with the shuffles i tunes, so i delted everything ih ad for the shuffle ( i sold it anyways) so i figured starting from scratch would work!?

Ipod touch 4g backup taking over 48 hours, does this happen?

I've been trying to update to ios5 but the backup for the update has taken over 48 hours. Can this happen, i just think it's because i haven't backed up in like months.

Far away not even close to being half way full. I have tried everything to fix my last one and ended up replacing it and the replacement is even worse. I feel like if it was the IOS it would be more consistent and be the same. Perhaps I somehow got two bad ones in a row and should try again? My first one hadno problem with the keyboard or Safari but this one does immensely.

Synching contacts, other items on Info tab now taking over an hour!

This started with the itunes update that brought MobileMe support. Synching contacts and other items on the Info tab before this version of iTunes would take seconds- probably quite a bit less than a minute to synch everything on the Info tab. Now, my Contacts (synching with Outlook) take about 45 minutes to synch, and everything on the Info tab combined takes a little over an hour. And this data almost never changes. I have only around eighty contacts, which haven't changed in months, only one scheduled event, etc. Over an hour??? I can import my whole contact list into Google contacts in less than 5 seconds. This happens on a 1st gen iphone and two different 3g iPhones, and I even tried reinstalling iTunes and making sure Outlook was auto-archiving. What next? I now have to basically skip synching anything on the Info tab. Is this just underhanded MobileMe marketing? Anyone else experience this?

OK I've got this one resolved. the solution was in the sticky in this section about resolving syncing problems with Contacts under Windows. It suggested to go to Edit -> Preferences -> Syncing, and click the "Reset Sync History" button. Now the problem they described this being the solution for is not the problem I was having- all my syncs were accurate, as far as I know; but I don't care at this point- it worked, so I'm happy. If you are spending several minutes syncing Contacts, try the above.

Illustrator taking over an hour to save a file

Having some trouble saving files with illustrator. Recently all of my files have been taking a long time to save on both my computers (one of which is brand new), but there's one file in particular that is currently saving and has been trying to save for an hour. It isn't non-responsive, I've tried a couple of other times and canceled it because it was just taking too long and I wanted to try and shrink the file size again to see if I could get it to save faster. I've done everything to shrink the file size down, there isn't any complex vector art, one or two large photos, but I've saved files with the exact same image and it didn't take half this long. The file itself is a little over 400 mb (Though it hasn't been saved since I shrunk everything so it should be much smaller than that). I am not exaggerating it has literally been over an hour and the save bar is barely a fourth of the way orange.

Try to quit all adobe application and delete the preference as per below path.

HT201104 iCloud drive set up is taking over an hour...is this normal?

I just loaded Yose on my macbook pro and I am trying to set up iCloud Drive...it has been spinning in set up mode for over an hour.

I started to have the problem when I was trying to sync 1Password after first loading Yose...and before I set up iCloud Drive via systems preferences. I fixed it by quitting the set up and re-booting a couple of times and starting over from system preferences/icloud. When I quit the set-up I just ok'd the warnings about not being able to access iCloud data. But not-to-worry all data seems to be available.

IPhone G3 takes over an HOUR to sync!

I am VERY frustrated that it now takes an iPhone G3 a LOOOOONG time to sync because it makes a full back up every time. i am trying to back up to go upgrade to 16GB, and then if you get a phone call, you have to start all over. i finally put it on airplane mode, but i have a headache from not eating because ive been trying to back it up for over TWO HOURS so I can then restore to the new one.
a) a phone call should NOT cancel syncing, it should ASK you and you should be able to decline the call and continue sycning.
b) why can't backup be an option???
I am LOVING the 2.0 but HATING the syncing, this is ridiculously long.
am I missing something, please?!?!?!?

I am so flipin $%!&@^^#$&#@$*& mad! I upgraded to 16GB and after AN HOUR AND A HALF someone called me and it &^@#&^*&@#^$&^#@$B cancels ALL THAT WORK and how I have to ^@&^%%@$@#$@@ !! start all $!%@#&!*!#@ over.
this is STUPID!
It restores the applications on first install, but NOT your music/videos. Then it has to do a FULL BACK UP (which is what i was doing) BEFORE it will add your music/videos.
so now I have to REDO a 2 hour backup BEFORE it will even transfer my music and videos BACK on to my new 16GB.
I scared of how long it will take once I have 16 and not just 8GB of stuff on this thing!! almost wish i had stuck with an 8GB!
i am hating my iphone right now (though still in love with all my new apps) and missing my iPhone EDGE with 2.0 as it worked BEAUTIFULLY.
grrrrrrrrrrrr

My purchased movies are taking over an hour to load. Why?

Apple TV is telling me (suddenly) that my purchased movies will take over an hour to load and play. This literally started happening 10 minutes into a movie. It's never taken more than 10 seconds to load in the past. My internet connection is up and working normally. Why would this start happening so suddenly?

Power cycle the ATV and router then try again.
