ITunes takes sooo long to update iPod

So why does it take my iPod so freaking long to update? I may add an album or two, along with some artwork for some older albums, but when I update it to my iPod, it takes hours.
iTunes will eventually state "OK TO DISCONNECT" while the iPod says "DO NOT DISCONNECT".
It won't eject if I click on the arrow next to my name, so I've been yanking the cord from the base.
My iPod is an 80GB video. My third iPod. Is it just me or is iTunes/iPod going waay down in reliability?

  • Why do movies rented from iTunes take soooo long to download to my Mac?

    Why do movies rented from iTunes take sooo long to download to my Mac?

    I am noticing the same thing. It appears to be since the recent update, but I have never had a delay before.

  • Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.

    Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.  Would a full reset of my iPod resolve this?  The iPod is still working, I just can't update apps or add songs...  The computer says that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctions, and Windows does not recognize it.  iTunes is not seeing the iPod at all....

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You have a driver/service problems and that is covered in the above.

  • Apps take very long to update and with not much progress

    Hi, i have tried to download some new apps and update some of my apps with my itouch, but it takes super long to update without success. Tried cancelling and installing again, tried off-ing and on-ing and even resetting the itouch but to no avail.
    Even attempted to update through itunes but once again, it takes super long and super slow and end up with connection timed out. Please advise. Thanks.

    Craig,

  • Upgrading from iOS 3.1.3 to 5.1 takes too long on my iPod 3G??

    I haven't updated my iPod touch 3G in a long time. And now that there's this new game out, i want to play it, but it said that it requires iOS 4.0 or higher..
    So i'm trying to update my iPod to iOS 5.1, but it takes toooo long?? When i click update on itunes, it says "Backing Up Files" and theres a bar under it. And its just stuck like that?? Ive waited for more than 4 hours, and nothing happens. How long does it take? And is there a way to just update to iOS 4.0?

    iOS Updating
    Consider restoring your iPod Touch and updating it from that section. If that doesn't work you could try updating it from a different computer (if it is availible), those are my only 2 suggestions. Sorry if it doesn't work.

  • ITunes takes a long time to open, or doesn't open at all.

    I recently had problems with iTunes where it just wouldn't open. I did a factory reset on my computer, however it takes a long time to open and works really slow. When I try to sync, it takes around in hour.

  • Why is itunes taking so long to update 11.1.4?

    Why is itunes taking so long updating the latest version of itunes 11.1.4 ?

    I have this same exact issue, however only with music. It happens when files are added in anyway: dragged, automatically added, opened from safari.
    I have Mountain Lion, a new MacBook Pro with Retina, and iTunes Match turned on. I have a feeling iTunes is trying to match/upload the songs first. I've just added 10 songs, iTunes said they were copied over but they don't show up in my library but I can see the cloud icon "working".
    EDIT: That's not the reason, the songs finally showed up but they are still waiting to be matched.

  • Mac-address-table takes too long to update on 4507R

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use spectralink phones, I have autonomous APs on seperate 2960s (and one on the 4507) - when the phones roam between the APs it takes very long for the mac address table to update on the 4507 even though there's uplink traffic.
    I have supervisor engine II+ (I read there are problems in previous versions)
    can anyone help?
    thanks

    Upgrading the switch could help avoid this problem..

  • Why does it take so long to update appleTV?

    I made the u fortunate mistake of clicking on update AppleTV now and here I am two hours after the update started and it is still not done. On top I am only now getting close to the end of step one? Should Apple not provide an estimate of the time it will require to update so that I could have done this at night...rather than sit here and wait till the dammed software is updated? It spoiled my entire evening! Why does the update of Apple TV take so long????? Luckily my AppleTV is hardwired to my computer, imagine if this was not so....

    You just happened to run into an bug produced by your Apple TV and your Internet connection. Even though they don't want you to switch off they device disconnect your Apple TV from your power chord. When it restarts you can use your Apple TV like before. Often a day later the updates is done in less than 10 minutes. I happened to run into this problem a few times since I have my Apple TV 3

  • IPhone sync with iTunes takes too long

    Why does the sync process take so long? I have a large address book and a few gigs of media, but the sync process sometimes takes almost 20 minutes! It's ridiculous. Any advice.

    Hi,
    I'm using the new USB cable that came with my iPhone that I bought yesterday. Not sure if it's USB 2.0.
    My iPod from a few years ago uses a Firewire cable.
    My music is on an external LaCie hard drive.
    The transfer rate of songs from my external to my iPhone is about a minute per song. However, the transfer rate of songs from my external to my iPod is about 5 seconds per song.
    I just think that's a dramatic difference in time but am wondering if that's expected behavior or if there might be something wrong with my iPhone.
    Thanks.

  • Widgets take sooo long to load?

    My widgets take so long to load even after I have obtained an internet connection. Does anyone happen to know why this is?
    Any suggestions would be great. They sure do take quite a while to show the information?

    There are several ways to improve performance, but the best advice I can give is to avoid reports which result in large datasets. Start with small reports on aggregated level of detail and drill down or navigate to reports with higher level of detail. Apart from this, there are also technical approache to improve performance like using aggregate tables or seeding the cache with the reports. Think also about your database (indexes).
