ITunes 9.2.1 iPad painfully slow, iPhone 4 fine

Ever since I updated to version 9.2.1 the backup time for my iPad is painfully slow.
I ran a backup on my iPhone4 and it took about 5 minutes for a full backup and sync. So I ran downstairs, grabbed an adult beverage from the fridge, started working on my mac mini. After 60 minutes I went to grab some info off the iPad and it's still backing up an hour later.
System:
iPhone & iPad sync to a Windows 7 PC.
(Trust me if i could migrate without having to wipe my phone and iPad settings they would be on the mac mini)
I've rebooted my PC and iPad several times with no luck.
This has been running perfectly fine with iTunes 9.2.

HT1473 How do I transfer a purches audible dook from itunes now on mt Ipad to my iPhone?

How do I transfer an audible book purchased from iTunes on an Ipad to my iPhone?

I am trying to sync my Iphone 4 with my Mac Book Pro OS X10.9.1 iTunes.
But lattely i can´t . A window opens stating:
WP_XXX address not found because “iphone of XXX “ could not be found.
How to fix this?! thanks!
PS: the OS X and iTunes softwares are updated.

Home sharing: iTunes 11 works with iPhone 5 not iPad 3, iTunes 10.7 with iPad 3 not iPhone 5

It's worth mentioning that both my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 have iOS 6.0.1. I have a MacBook Pro on OSX 10.7.5 with iTunes 10.7 (now) and a Windows 7 64-bit box on iTunes 10.7.
In short, trying to get all my stuff to play nicely has been a total nightmare; and sadly is the reason I pay the premium for Apple stuff: I want it to all work.
Originally, the MacBook had iTunes 11 on it. With iTunes 11, the iPad couldn't stream any content (copy protected or not), though the iPhone could via the home sharing feature.
After downgrading the MacBook to iTunes 10.7 using Pacifist, the iPad will stream, but the iPhone won't.
Amusingly, both the iPad AND the iPhone stream just fine from the Windows box via home sharing.
Anyone have any ideas? This is getting pretty obnoxious now. I haven't rebooted the MacBook yet, which is what I'm planning on doing now.
EDIT: rebooting the Mac accomplished nothing; iPhone 5 still won't stream, iPad is fine same as before the reboot.

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the syncing troubles?

ITunes wont reconize my iPod but my iPhone works fine - VISTA

I know what you are saying...go through the 5 R's and all will be well. NO, this is the weirdest thing I've ever encountered. I just got this HP Laptop a couple of months ago...it has Vista installed on it. I downloaed iTunes 7.4 when I got my iPhone and it works fine. Then I tried to plug in my iPod nano (2nd Gen) and my iPod Photo with no luck. Windows wants me to locate the drive for the ipods because it can't find one.
My Device Maganger shows the iPod under 'Other Devices' with a yellow exclamation point next to it. Needs a driver. The iPod service is running. Vista obviously thinks the iPod service and driver is just for the iPhone. Thats my guess...Apple can't figure it out...and says 'It's a Windows problem' and Windows tells me to contact Apple for a driver for the ipods.
Has anyone else solved this little problem?
Ohh....BTW, these iPods work fine on my desktop using iTunes + Windows XP. I've done ALL the reset tricks...and have restored both of them, they just won't be reconized by iTunes or Vista. Both iPods show up in Device Mgr as iPods, but under the Unknown Devices.
Help Please....

Thanks for the reply Tony. No, the computer is brand new as is the iPhone. I did manage to solve the problem though. As I stated, the iPhone was the first thing I plugged into this new Laptop, with a fresh new copy of iTunes. The iPhone worked fine, it's the iPods that were not reconized by Vista.
Here is how I solved the problem. I removed the iPod from device mgr (Under Unknown Devices). Started up iTunes, plugged in the iPod and when Vista asked for a driver location I pointed it to the c:\Windows folder and it found the drivers. First was the USB Mass Storage Device driver, then the iPod driver, then the USBusEmumerator driver and now all is well.
It's a VISTA BUG! Once you use that USB Driver for the phone, anyother Apple product will require you to manually go into the windows folder and have Vista find it again and use it for your iPod. I wouldn't be suprised if this was done intentionally by Microsoft to try to get people to use there MP3 Players instead of Apple.

ITunes 11.1.3 is painfully slow in updating music onto my iPhone running iOS 7.0.3

For some reason everytime I try to update my iPhone it takes forever to update and then usually freezes on the last step (waiting for changes to be applied). I;ve already restored my phone once and don't think that's really the proper solution.
Has anyone figured out a better fix for this?

Hey Iambann,
I think I'm on to something. Are you missing other things from the Library in addition to music files? Do me a favor and do a cmd-i (Get Info) on the music/app/movie files you're missing. When iTunes asks you if you'd like to look for the file, answer No or Cancel - the info window should open.
At the bottom of the window, what does the "Location" say? Does it say:
file:///localhost/Users/username/.Trash/iTunes/...
That's the last "known" location of the missing files. In my case, the files were automatically moved to the user's Trash. If you haven't Emptied your Trash yet, the files might still be there. If you have Emptied your Trash, then the files are gone - but that means we have the same EXACT symptoms.

Latest iTunes Hanging when connecting iPad 2 and iPhone 4

Hi,
I have an iMac running OSX. I have updated both mavericks and Itunes to the lastest updates. When using itunes it will start fine. Then when connecting either ipad or iphone, itunes then hangs with the spinning circle. I have left this for well over 2 hours now. The only way out is to quit itunes. I have tried the iTunes help but with no sucess as yet.
I have created a new user and the problem does diappear.,so its not an ipad/iphone or mac issue. I have tried removing my library and then connecting a device but iTunes does the same thing. I am guessing something within my Mac user profile is stopping it.
Please help, its driving me mad.
P.S I also have a mac book which is working fine.

I try to log into my itunes account on my laptop and it says cannot connect to itunes store, however it does on my iphone just fine

i have made a seperate itunes account and it logs in as well. so i am not sure what is going on. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, i have turned off my computer and back on. i have ran it as a administrator. i am running windows 8 on a toshiba satellite.

What troubleshooting techniques have you tried? Have you restarted the app? Have you restarted your computer?
One idea is to Trash this file; Mac HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and restart.

You Tube stalls on iPad, laptop, iMac & iPhone stream fine

Side by side, my iPad & my Mac Air. You Tube videos play back uninterrupted on the laptop, they stall and download very slowly on the iPad. This happens even when these are the only 2 devices on the network. I've had no wifi problems. I assume that since all things are equal besides the device I'm using to see You Tube that the capability of the iPad is less then the Air. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I've tested playing YouTube on 3 different Wifi hotspots and streaming performance is terrible on all of them. One thing I've noticed is that the videos I'm having most problems with are HD videos. For example this video runs for 2mins 51secs. Using the iPad this is still streaming after 25 minutes, and has more or less stalled after having only streamed half the content. When I try to stream the same video on my laptop (using the same Wifi network) it takes 2 minutes to fully stream.
On the other 2 wifi networks I tested on, I was not able to improve on this stream time using the iPad.

HT1414 how to reinstall iTunes? does not recognize my iPad nor my iPhone

Suddenly, iTunes stopped recognizing my iPad and my iPhone. Battery charging, no syncing, both devices invisible. I think I may need to reinstall iTunes. How can I do it without losing my content? Thanks in advance, marek

Before you do anything drastic, try something real simple.
Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad. I sync via WiFi and it never fails that iTunes will not see my iPad about every 10 days or so and I go through the restart ritual and it has always come back.
It may not work for you, but it beats having to reinstall iTunes - if it does work.

HT1351 how do you get your itunes music from your ipad to iphone

I am trying to get my itunes music from my ipad to my iphone. how can I do this?

If you are in a country where you can re-download iTunes purchases or you've signed up to iTunes Match then you can re-download them, otherwise you will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes - you can't connect an iPad to an iPhone for direct transfer of music.

HT5622 Since updating to IOS7.0 my imessages and Facetime keep telling me to check my internet connection? My IPad and husbands IPhone work just fine. Is anyone else having this problem??

Since updating to IOS 7.0 i cannot sign into Facetime or Imessages - My IPad and Husbands IPhone are fine but when I try to sign in I get: check internet connection and try again...Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?? I have the correct password.

I finally called Apple and they had me do a complete restore which of course took hours because I have so many apps and photographs on my iPad. This is the only way to get the keyboard lag to stop. The best way was to connect to iTunes store and backup your data there. You must do a complete restore in order to get a clean version of the hardware. It worked on both my iPhone 6 and my iPad Air 2. If you can't get it to work, call Apple. Trust me...it does work.
Here is the link.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
It takes time but it did fix it as it reinstalls the hardware from scratch so no bugs are left.
