Ipod touch slow backup / sync

Hi all,
I search many posts in Google and this forum and found that the problem is common to many people. Any solution which is effective right now?
I am using Windows 7 64bit with iPod Touch 3.1.2
Thanks!

If it is a larger capacity iPod, it will take a long time to back up. You could switch to iCloud backup if you have iOS 5 or later. This way it backs up to the cloud automatically.

  • What's wrong with my 32MB iPod Touch 4G? Syncing music is too slow.

    I just bought a 32 MB iPod Touch 4G, and syncing my music to it is so slow, it's just unacceptable! Is something wrong with it?

    You mean 32gb and yes I have the same problem. Its very lame!
    Not only the synchring, my whole ipod is slow as ****. Lagging all the time, apps crashing etc.

  • My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

    My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected.  How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

    My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected.  It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch.   I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

    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 all music 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: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Ipod Touch won't sync after updating iTunes

    I updated my iTunes and now my ipod touch will not sync, it says that the ipod is synced with another iTunes library when it is not, is there a way to get it to sync?

    With all the synced media like apps and music in your iTunes library do the following:
    - Make a backup in iTunes by:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The above link includes that restore from backup instructions.
    Somehow updating iTunes caused iTunes/iPod to think it was not synced to this library. That happens sometimes.

  • Ipod touch disonnects on sync

    Ipod Touch disconnects when syncing Safari Bookmarks - gives message "Itunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPod "name" because the iPod disconnected." All other syncing works fine. I have rebooted the ipod and tried trashing the preferences file on Apple Sync Services. Problem persists even if I disable all other syncing and only try to sync Safari bookmarks.
    iPod Touch is 30Gig with 9 Gig available
    Itunes is software version 2.1
    Safari is v. 3.1.2
    Only 3rd party apps on the Touch are Zenbe, 300 Bowl, LabyrinthLE and Sol Free

    Many thanks for this hint.
    It helped me to make a backup, reset my iPod completely and restore it from the backup. So far, everything went well.
    But
    my complete ebook library has gone
    all songs are away too
    the worst: it didn't help me with the core issue:
            >>  Ipod and itunes keep stuck on synchronization. <<
    Anyway: Thanks again for your help.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - NextI would restore from backup.

  • IPod Touch No Longer Syncs After Upgrade to 10.8.3

    I recently upgraded my computer from OSX 10.5 to 10.8.3. But while my iPad seems to sync fine, my iPod touch no longer syncs and it is not recognized by the Apple store. Please help!

    When I plug in my ipod, a message pops up that says:
    "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod (my ipod name). Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
         >If you do not authorize this computer, 191 songs will be removed from the iPod"
    I click "authorize"
    Enter my apple ID (note that for some reason it keeps bringing up an apple id from 2006, even though the computer and ipod are from 2011 and 2010.)
    Then it says "this computer is already authorized"
    And every time I plug it in, the same thing happens.
    Sorry I wasn't clear before.

  • When I try to transfer songs from itunes library to ipod touch it says sync in progress but songs are not on my ipod touch?

    When I  transfer music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says sync in progress on ipod touch, however, the songs don't show up on ipod touch. I have transferred songs in the past with no problem.  Not sure what is different now or what I'm doing wrong-I am very new at this and any help is greatly appreciated.

    How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes? 
    Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly.

    My Ipod touch is not syncing properly.  I download podcasts and it will not allow me to delete some shows after they have been listened to.  It is a neverending cycle of deleting unwanted podcast episodes from itunes on the computer, plugging in my ipod, syncing, and then it always takes the already listened to episodes, and puts them back into itunes on the comp.  I then delete them on the comp again, sync the ipod, and it again pulls them over from the ipod.  I have it set up to only sync unlistened to episodes, and beyond that, only checked things, but it does not seem to matter.  The only thing I can do to get the episodes off the ipod for good is to do a factory reset, and that absolutely should not be necessary!  Any ideas for something I am not seeing that is allowing this to continually happen?  This just started happening a couple of months ago.  Not sure what changed, but would like it fixed!  Thanks for any ideas in advance!

    I have a similar problem, all since the ios update i think, my podcasts do not seem to sync, I have a song purchase via the ipod which no longer plays (just sits on the screen) this also doesnt sync back to itunes.
    Its a complete mess. Seems everytime Apple push out an update my ipod becomes less useable.

  • IPod Touch will not Sync or restore with iTunes.

    I got an iPod Touch 64G on 31/12/09. Since then I've had a very difficult time syncing the iPod with iTunes. I installed iTunes on a Dell Studio 1557 i7 720, 1.60Ghz, 4G DDR3 1067 RAM, 500G HDD, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I try to sync the ipod it gives me 3 errors The iPod "Tom's iPod Touch" cannot be synced.(X3) The required file cannot be found, An unkown error occurred (-48), and An unknown error occurred (-6999). I have made sure all my drivers on the computer are up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I've tired restarting the ipod. I've fully restored my ipod touch. None of these have fixed the issue. I get the same errors. Since I've had the ipod I've only been able to sync it 3 times, and the sync just started working by trying different things, like disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod, or switching to one of the other usb ports, but these little tricks only worked once. At this point the last failed sync has caused my ipod to only play one song and then stop playing, and many of the apps just crash. Syncing the ipod fixed this problem the one time it happend before, and it was very difficult to get it to sync also. Now it wont sync and I've tried reinstalling itunes agian which didn't help. So I'm looking for some help.

    Okay ... there have been problems reported with that particular combination of the P55/PM55 chipsets, Windows 7 and syncing.
    If your chipset drivers and BIOS are both up to date and you're still getting this, you might have some success using the workaround from the following post. (Unfortunately, not all BIOSes are configurable in this way.)

  • IPod Touch will NOT sync in iTunes for Windows Vista

    I get this error message. "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    Well, I did that, then I reinstalled iTunes. The AMDS didn't reinstall with the iTunes software! Instead, it kept rolling back again and again. I uninstalled iTunes again, made sure everything was deleted with Windows Install Clean Up, then tried to install iTunes 8.1. Well, this installed AMDS, but it also installed iTunes 8.2 instead - and I am getting the same error message again. Is my iPod touch completely useless now? I can't update the songs on my computer to it, so what am I supposed to do? My computer is recognizing it and saying it connected and allowing me to open it, but it will not appear in iTunes. HELP!

    IS NO ONE FROM APPLE WILLING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE? This problem is being discussed all over the internet. Something is WRONG with iTunes 8.2 that is PROHIBITING iPod Touch devices to sync with it. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I have been unable to contact ANYONE about the issue, and a support person literally hung up on me while I was explaining my problem, like he knew what was happening. WHAT DO I DO? I have a non-updated iPod Touch that is just being WASTED because I can't sync it with the newest version of iTunes. APPLE, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
