IPod Touch 16Gb takes an Extraordinary long time to sync

Hi All
I'm hoping that someone can offer an insight to why my iPod Touch is taking so long to sync.
It started happening a several months ago. It takes around 6-8 minutes to sync and I don't have a lot of things on it.
I have iTunes 9.2.0.61, and iOS 4.0 on iPod Touch. It didn't used to that long to sync, so I reset it to factory default condition and then reloaded the software, when I tried again it was the same.
I have recently changed the software to iOS 4, and updated iTunes but that makes no difference. I have also changed the USB port and cable.
I have iPad and an 80Gb Classic iPod and neither of these take a significant amount of time to sync and are very fast in the order of seconds. (syncing the exact same content)
I have my content stored on a Network Attached storage drive, and when iPod Touch is connected the network activity to the disk is high, but seeing as iPad and iPod Classic collect the same content from the same place its not the network slowing it down.
It would appear its resyncing everything every time.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to help?
Thanks
Shunts...

I have the exact same problem. It's beyond ridiculous. I think things actually worked better when I was using 32-bit Vista. Now I'm on 64-bit Windows.
I think Apple just doesn't put the right resources behind Windows apps. It also seems that it's not optimized for multiple processors. Not only does it take forever, but iTunes completely freezes during the process, as if they aren't intermittently giving control back to the UI.

My Ipod touch is taking such a long time to do a Software update 7.0.6 I dont know whatt do do! Its been pass 12 hours

I just went to the apple store to replace my Ipod Touch yesterday. There I began the process of restoring my Ipod. When I got home to continue doing it my apps werent downloading, they just read waiting... So I decided to stop the restoring and my apps still did the same thing. I researched and completely stopped all of my apps from downloading and I am just keeping them in my Icloud for now. I was trying to find the thing that was causing for this slowness. I found out that my Ipod is doing a software update of iOS 7.0.6 but its not loading at all. It just says, "Estimating time remaining..." So I think this is the cause? Do I just wait? And for how long? And on the bottom it says Downloading... in gray. PLease help!!

Likely the Apple servers are just busy.
You can try
- 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.
and see what that does.

Long time to sync ipod

Hi,
tearing my hair out with this ipod touch.
just tonight whenever I connect my ipod to my pc running XP it starts to synchronise and takes about 3-4 mins. eventually it completes the sync but theres no way it should be taking that long, worked fine only a couple of hours ago.
tried my USB slots on the front and on the back and its the same with all of them.
after the initial sync waiting time, if I still have the ipod connected and click on the 'sync' button on itunes it does it at the normal time.
all this is before I get the error messages saying that the 'device is not connected' but first things first.
driving me mad.
anyone else having similar problems?

I am having a similar problem except on my Mac. My touch was working fine last night and today it takes a very long time to sync. I checked the Console and the following was being posted there over the course of the sync:

I know MDCrashReportTool is used by Apple to submit crash details for mobile apps, so I am wondering if this is on their end. My internet connection works, and I have restarted iTunes, my Mac and the touch. Nothing has changed since yesterday, so I do not believe the problem is with me. Can anyone give me a clue if I'm headed in the right direction or provide a fix?

My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?

My iPod Touch 16GB won't charge up more than 50%!?

Well I just bought my iPod Touch 16GB this past Sunday at a Best Buy here in Austin Texas and everything seems to work fine for me EXCEPT I cannot charge the device more than 50%. The battery icon will show up but will never show more than a 50% charge! I have WiFi turned off and the iPodT is connected to one of the USB ports on the back of my Alum iMac and was left there for several hours - with the computer left on! I even had it connected to a Dell machine at work for several hours via USB, no luck there either. I do not have an Apple AC adapter so I can charge it from a power outlet but should that really make a difference and give me a full charge? I guess I should make it known that the iPod's battery was dead when I first opened it but it seemed like it took too many hours to charge halfway. It looks like I may need to take it back. I wonder if Apple will exchange it out as long as I have all my stuff as well as the receipt from BB.
Anyone else having the same problem or are able to fully rechrage their iPodT? Any advise or ideas is appreciated.

Yes, when I press the sleep/wake button down for a few seconds I have the option to turn off the iPod. When I turn it back on and the screen with the icons appear I get a "low battery - 20% of battery remaining message". Nearly about a quarter of power gets drained? Frustrating.

Ipod touch 16Gb not working since installing recent O4 upgrade

My Ipod touch 16GB has died !! It stopped during the update when an error message appeared stating unable to SYNC IPOD. Now all I have is a black screen with the Apple Logo, and then a bar appears across the screen underneath the logo as if its trying to install software and show amount of time left. This goes on and on until the battery goes flat !!! Help please

Hi amit,
Am not sure about an old product but yea i once went to get my earbuds replaced under warranty priod. There was some trouble with it and they replaced it. I asked the guy to give me the other earplugs with mic and i can pay the difference. They told that they can only replace the same product even if you have to pay or not.
May be an apple policy or Imagine own policy but that's what I think we can avail being apple users in India. Check for good places who repair iPod as am sure some do. No offence but I can take the chance of getting my ipod repaired from a third party after using it for a substancial amount of time. We all know its our inner feeling and warranty policies which normally hinders us.
But surely you can call Apple support at 18004250744 or Apple sales 1800 425 4646 and confirm about this policy. Also, you can mail Apple directly and check.
Rest if you want to stick to Apple reseller support itself then i would suggest to add a few more to that $230 amount and get the latest iTouch which now comes even in white and has innumerable new features. But never pay such a hefty amount and get the 1st gen itself.
Regards,
Amit

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
Thanks.

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:
Apple - Batteries - iPod
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $10

Hi Imminnie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

Mac Air takes a very long time when manually putting to sleep

I put my Mac Air in sleep mode from the apple icon after Im dont using it but sometimes takes a very long time to shut down. Then Im not sure if sometimes it goes into sleep mode by itself first. My mac notebook as soon as you hit sleep it shut down instantly. Anyone else have this problem?
