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?

IPhone taking a long time to Sync due to "backup"

So after installing 2.0 and some cool new apps, when I just try and sync to my PC it takes around 45 minutes because it runs a backup of everything.
Why is that?
Is it because I installed an app from the iPhone App store and then had to sync it with my iTunes ones that I installed? I've since removed the app that I downloaded from the iPhone app store and only have the ones I found through iTunes but it still takes a $*&# long time to sync becauase it's "backing up".
Any thoughts?
Is a Restore in order?
Thanks.

Noiseboy2006 wrote:
You can disable backups in terminal. The command is:
defaults write com.apple.itunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool YES
I think you can work out for yourself how to re-enable them.
how do you enter terminal?
also to re-enable: "com.apple.itunes DeviceBackupsEnabled -bool YES"?
or just erase?

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.

HT1386 Long delay in syncing iPod

I have recently been experiencing an issue where it takes a very long time to finish syncing my iPod touch with my iTunes library, e.g. When I have downloaded podcasts. This process can now take up to ten or fifteen minutes to finish - much longer than previously.

When you find a post that is similar to your own question isn't it frustrating to find it un-answered?
So.. I guess I'll answer this, myself, by posting what I found out on my own.
So... it turns out that hooking up the iPods to the new Leopard Mac Mini was fine as both the 4th Gen and the 5th Gen (Video) iPods remained "manually managed" as they had been when I had been updating them using the Tiger Mac Mini. Probably because I had used Set Up Assistant and had migrated everything over from the old mac when I first started the new mac.
I had, when I first hooked up the 4th Gen iPod, held down the option and command keys on the keyboard and waited until the iPod had fully mounted before letting them go, but I didn't really need to do this. I didn't hold down the option and command keys when mounting the 5th Gen Video and it mounted up manually managed anyway.
I did things differently with the two iPods. For the 4th Gen one, I just updated the podcasts and left it at that. So it still has the old playlists and everything.
With the 5th Gen Video, I decided to change the setting to "automatically sync." This caused it to replace everything with the new playlists and content, etc, as it was now set up in the new computer. After doing all of this, I re-synced the 5th Gen iPod and changed it back to "manually managed," so I would have more control over things in the future. Now it's syncing and updating just the podcasts, automatically, and leaving everything else alone just as I like. Great!
So.. so far so good.
Thanks so much! -Charlotte

ITunes 10.6 takes a long time to sync iPhone 4 iOS 5.1

Yesterday I had to have my phone replaced and I went through all the fun stuff of restoring my phone. Got all that done, no problem.
I did however discover one problem when it came to syncing my phone. I also sync over WiFi.
In iTunes 10.6 (latest version, no beta), it will get to the end (step 5 of 5) and just sit there, telling me "Syncing Tones or Syncing Data to iPhone - Waiting for items to sync" It will sit there for a very long time, I don't know how long, because I will cancel the sync or walk away with my phone.
I know for the 'Tones' error, it will just sit there, doing whatever, and I only have 1 tone, and it's already on the phone.
Looking for any advice on how I can get this issue resolved.

Start by making sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
If that doesn't do it, you may be seeing something like what is described in this Apple article -> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
If it's what you're seeing, you can try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix or folllow along with the article.
1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
2. Enter the following command:
netsh winsock reset
3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
Note: If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

Long Time to Sync Music (Media Player, with files on network drive)

Hello there,
I've set up my fab new Curve 8520 with the new version of Desktop Software. Sync is working fine for Outlook organizier information.
I use Media Player to manage my music. The library is on my PC, but the mp3 files themselves are on a network drive (mapped as a drive letter).
The music sync does work, but it takes ages for it to (1) show the songs / albums / playlists everytime you click the music button (20-30 minutes) and (2) it also takes a similar length of time to sync (even if you only sync one song!)
So it works, but it is not really usable. It seems to me that the Desktop Software is checking every file in the library every time I enter the music button, which is overkill.
Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks.

I think I solved the problem. I just had to switch the location of of the itunes library from the default to the network drive and it found the files. Funny how itunes could find the library to play songs but the ipod couldn't when syncing.

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?

Mobile Accounts take a long time to sync at startup

I want to use mobile accounts as a way to authenticate to the network. I also want to sync some of these users to their home directories located on the server, but I want them to be able to log into any computer relatively fast. I have disabled syncing at login and logout and have the accounts only syncing in the background, but when the user first logs into a computer they haven't used yet, the account syncs at login. The syncing time is very long. Is there anyway to make this time shorter so login is almost instant?

Taking a long time to sync

iPod 80 GB taking forever to sync with iTunes library. Using OS X 10.7.

I assume iTunes is up to date (10.7 is the latest version at the time of this writing).
Are you plugging the iPod into a USB port located directly on the iMac versus via a USB hub? Perhaps it would help to try another USB cable as well to make sure the current one isn't faulty or damaged.

Iphone takes LONG time to sync with iTunes?

Hi all,
I have and Iphone 3G with 8GB pretty much stuffed, I have only 200MB free and 1000 audio, 50 podcast video, 60 photo and TONS of apps..
I just check how long it would take to sync with my PC yeasterday... 10 hours... is that normal for a backup and sync? how can I speed up the process?
thanks

I'm having the same problem. It's definitely the backup portion. I located my backup folder, and it had over 20k files! I tried deleting the folder and backing up again, and have yet to complete a full backup (they're just too long - I'm constantly having to stop the process to take the phone with me). The latest one was 2 hours and only half done (with 8k files in the folder). I did have facebook and linkedin on the phone, so I've removed those and restarted the backup. It doesn't seem much different so far, but I think I may leave it overnight to see what happens. Could it be that the files (like caches or whatever) used by facebook and linkedin are still on the iphone even w/o the apps? How can I clean up my iphone w/o resetting it completely (I don't want to lose the data on there and I don't currently have a complete backup - though maybe after tonight I will).
Any other apps you know of that have this issue? I can't believe Apple just lets this type of sloppy file management occur.

Long time to sync

Why does it take like an hour to sync my iphone3g? even if i only updated one song? Does it have to take so long? this is very inconvenient...

I discovered this web page that gives the location of the backup files: http://osxdaily.com/2009/09/11/iphone-backup-location/
I took at look at my list of files - one of the backup folders (I have 3 for some reason) had over 20,000 files!! I deleted the folder to get itunes to create a new one. It's currently backing up - it's about 2/5 done and at 1700 files now. What's weird though is that i looked at some of the files' thumbnails, and many of them I don't recognize. Some of them though are files I thought I deleted in the past. It seems as if iTunes/iphone is keeping and backing up every single file ever on the phone, which would be ridiculous! I don't know for sure if this is the case, but 20,000 files is a huge number.
I'm tempted to reset the phone to its original state, but I don't want to lose all my applications' data. And I don't think I can restore from the backup, since the backup seems to be the problem in the first place.
I really hope Apple looks into this - anyone know how/where I can report this issue to them?

Long time to update iPod with new iTunes

Is there a reason why my iPod takes forever to update with the new iTunes? It seems like it takes much longer, and it seems like its not even doing anything. What can I do to speed it up?
Thanks.

Agreed. ITunes seems to recognize the Ipod as quickly as it did before I upgraded, and to transfer the files about as fast. When this process is complete, after the files have been transferred, in the little space at the top (that had shown progress in transferring files) the message says "Ipod update is complete" and "OK to disconnect" - but it isn't complete, and it isn't OK. At the left of ITunes, where the Ipod can be selected (and disconnected from ITunes), the whirling symbol indicating update in progress can still be seen, and an attempt to disconnect the Ipod from ITunes yields a message saying update still in progress.
An extra five minutes isn't a tragedy; still, I have no idea why transferring the files used to be the end of the update, but no longer is.

Taking a very long time to sync

Somewhere in the span of 48 hours I lost all contents of my Ipod. I restored it to factory settings updated iTunes to the newest version and set about restoring the files. That was 5 hours ago. How long should this be taking?

I'm having the "old version of appointments" problem you speak of. I never had a problem until 10.5.5 and now suddenly I have old appointments popping up all over the place, and I can't remember which ones are the "good" ones and which are the old ones! This is happening on calendars that are being published. It almost looks like it's trying to subscribe to an old calendar and publish the new ones. I hope there is a fix soon though because I'm bound to mess up an appointment because of it!

I'm running iTunes on a PC laptop and ready to move music to an independent hard drive. We want to add more music to it. I have used iTunes for a while for iPods. My wife and I have new iPhone 5S and would like to access the cloud for different types of music, but I will maintain the music in the cloud. (That's my job.) Can 2 iPhones use the same iCloud? We each have different Apple ID's. Thanks.

Music in the cloud is managed by the separate iTunes Match service ($25/year US). You would sign up to it on the PC, and your music library would be matched with the iTunes Store, and high quality versions of all songs would become available to you on any device also signed into iTunes Match. You should not delete your local copy from the PC, since you should retain a master version of all songs for safety.
You can use the same iTunes Match service, but you'd see the same music (you say you "would like to access the cloud for different types of music", but I'm not sure what you mean by that).
