Long time Sycing my Ipod after Itunes states the Sync is complete
20 March 2007
Apple:
I like to update / sync my ipod before I leave for work. I do not have a lot of time to wait. Frequently, Itunes will tell me the "Sync is Complete", but when I press the ^, disconnect ipod button, I get a message simular to:
Can not disconnect ipod. Application in use.
The only application that I can see are the Finder, the new feature that does Widgets and Itunes. How can it be using another application?
I have to wait and wait, continually pressing the disconnect - ^ button for many, many minutes. The delay frustrates me and make me late for work.
What can I do and can you do something to correct the misleading "IPOD SYNC IS COMPLETE" message on itues.
Thank your for your help with this.

Thank you for replying
I keep Norton Utilities running constantly.
Usually, the only applications I see running in the dock are the Widget application and the Finder (and Itunes, of course).
This morning, it must have taken 20 minutes from when Itunes told me the Sync was completed. I acutally turned off Itunes and shut down my computer. I restarted the computer and re-synced the ipod on itunes.
I don't have 20 minutes to waste!
Did I answer your question adequately?

I am trying to sync my ipod to my mac desktop but it wont highlight. does anyone know why?
See if http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 helps. Often this also means the Apple Mobile Service needs to be reinstalled.

I moved my music from the c drive to the d drive. All of my music is in itunes but my ipod won't sync with itunes. The syncing process is taking much longer than usual too. I left my ipod over night to sync and it didnt finish. Fails to sync every time. I tried to restore my ipod and it didnt help.
Ignore. I figured it out:)

I have a new computer and a old iphone 4 that hasn't been updated in a long time. I logged into itunes on my new computer and plugged in my phone and there is no option to sync. ;( suggestions?
The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one. -
Why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?
why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?
Can't really say, but I see this occurring on all of my Macs since the 10.8.2 update and keep reading about it at several other Mac user boards.
Bottom line: it's a general problem, but more of an inconvenience, than a serious problem. Probably will be solved with the next update. -
on an pci_mio 16e4 programming using nidaq & visual basic, after using AI_Setup analog sequential data accusition stops.To restart I use Init_DA_Brds This takes a long time, What must I reset to restore the analog sequential function?
I belive that the trigger is being changed on the io board, but cannot manage to reset it.
The reset process takes in the order of 0.1 sec, and since this is a time critical application, i want to get the scanning function working again fasterDear Ian. Thank you for your reply. The problem appears to be that the scan trigger(s) are stopped, or something, by the use of the AI_setup instruction. The sytstem works perfectly until this instruction is used. My problem is in understanding what has happened since the help seems to give no detail on any interconnection between the scan system and the external analog trigger system. I have tried to reconnect the triggers, but so far unsucessfuly

hey! my i just got my ipad back from having it taken away for a long time and i have know idea what the passcode is ive tried everything and i have no idea what to do
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. If you have IOS-7, read this. -
I have two apple ID's on my laptop, one is mine and one is my roommate, I recently restored my iPod and now when I try to sync to iTunes it says sync will complete ones a song is available, what do I do?
Try syncing songs one at a time to see if there is a problem song(s).
Do the songs play in iTunes on the computer? -
I just like to know if i rigth to my refund the movie i rent, also because took to long time to downloding, so i never watch the movie and charge come out of my account
No. Netflix is solely a streaming service and does not provide downloads. If you want downloaded movies, buy or rent from the iTunes Store. Note that in some cases people have found that rented movies still require connection to the ITunes Store to play, for reasons I have yet to figure out, so purchases are safer.

I want to register my iPod with iTunes but the registration form keeps asking for a postcode but there is no field to enter it, although there is an arrow showing where the error is but still no field for entry. Any suggestions how to get past this ?
I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where -
I made my apple Id a long time ago. I do not remember the answers to my security questions but when I send the questions to my email, they get sent to an old email that was deleted. How do I change the email they get sent to?
1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
2. Here are two different but direct methods:
a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
and service.
3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.

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. -
I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing. And I can't download any app because problems with my account regarding the credit card but the information is correct and it says it is not!!!
You'll have to contact iTunes store support regarding your credit card information problem: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. I'm not clear on what you're saying about your backup. Are you saying that when you connect to iTunes it's asking you to restore from backup even though you already have?
