Music takes hours to sync on Playbook

I have been trying to sync a playlist from itunes to my playbook its about 2700 songs the first 500 songs go by fast then it lags it does like 60 songs every hour i have restored my playbook reinstalled the desktop manager and I get the same results someone pleae help oh and im on a Mac cpu

Are you syncing through DM for Mac? I just uploaded about 7.5GB of music to my PlayBook earlier on a PC (about 1500-1700 songs) and it took roughly a half hour, give or take a few minutes. Can you mount your PB as a drive on your Mac? You could try dragging and dropping in mass storage mode. That might give you a faster transfer speed, but I can't say for sure.

IPad takes hours to sync photos

Hi all
When I first got my iPad in October, it synced all photos fine. I had loads of folders on there and could add new ones whenever I wanted to, quickly.
All of a sudden when I sync my iPad it optimizes every single photo and takes hours and hours to sync.
This is utterly ridiculous considering there are over 2000 photos, it does it for every one each time! How can I leave my iPad syncing for hours every single time I want to add new photos, why cant it just be like adding new music it takes a few seconds to add the new items!
I have searched and searched on internet forums for an answer and they all just say NO cant turn it off. So basically I cannot have photos on my iPad as the function is NOT efficient and fast like it used to be. I havent changed anything at all, all I want is my photos of my baby girl on my iPad.
Please someone help, there must be a way around this.
Thanks

This happened to me, and I found that the process was slow because I was using a separate hard drive (connected to my wireless modem) to store the photos on.
When I connected my pc directly to my wireless modem using a cable, then disabling wireless, I found the sync speed was much faster.

Ipod touch takes hours to sync

iTouch (v. 2.2) using iIunes (v. 8.0.2.20) takes several hours to sync. When reviewing the summary it actually "syncs" quickly but takes hours and hours to "backup."
8mb (7.08 actual)
4.83 Gb music
2 Mb apps
181 Mb other
1.87 Gb free
Syncs calendars with outlook. "not older than 1 day"

Hi tbarnardiii,
This could be a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPod is directly connected to a high seed USB 2 port and try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
What apps are on your iPod touch? Try removing the apps and test syncing again.

It takes hours to sync my ipod nano

it sometimes takes hours upon hours to sync my ipod.

having same problem like i said in my post, 8 hours later and still syncing the same..if you figure it out let me know appreciate it

Why does it take hours to sync and backup a 12GB data?

Does anyone know why it takes hours and hours to just sync and backup my 16GB iPhone 3GS before it installs the iOS5? This is getting rediculous! Why do Apple force us to use iTunes?

Shouldn't take that long although waiting a long time in between syncs can create longer backup times... ie more data, apps, etc... to back up etc... Make sure both iPad and iTunes are most current versions. Make sure you are using the iPad sync cord that came with the device and not another from a iPhone or iPod. Cables can screw up the deal.
Start there first and let us know how it goes.

IPod Classic takes hours to sync a single song

I had an iPod Nano which was recently replaced by an iPod Classic. The first time I plugged the Classic into my computer, iTunes would not recognize it. I had to plug it into a different computer with iTunes on it to do the intial setup stuff. When I plugged it into my computer, it sync'd just fine. Everytime since then that I try to sync on my computer iTunes takes 15 minutes to show that it is there and every command (minimize, cancel, close, etc.) takes 15-20 minutes to execute. Also, it took almost 4 hours for iTunes to restore the Classic. Then after running for almost 10 hours, it had still only sync'd 110 songs (average length).
What the heck? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, I've tried different cables. When I plug the Nano into the same computer, it works perfectly. Someone help me out here. I have a feeling this one is going to have to be replaced. I've not even had it for a month yet.

The Classic sometimes seems to be a bit more sensitive to the state of the USB drivers on a PC than earlier models. With that in mind, does updating or reinstalling your USB drivers help with the connection performance of the Classic?
For information on how to go about doing that, see the following document:
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date

My iPhone4 takes hours to sync with iTunes.

My iPhone4 used to sync in only a couple of minutes. Then it started taking several hours. The header in iTunes said it got to step 5 of 5 and was importing photos. I tried deleting all of the photos from the iPhone and the syncing problem went away. I checked to make sure all of the file extensions were the same and deleted the big files but when I put the photos back on the iPhone, the problem returned.

Delete the iPod photo cache, as described here:

I have a 64GB iPad2 and selected to "Automatically fill free space with songs".... will it have to download that 60GB of music to my ipad everytime I sync? It took about 8 hours to sync the music to it

I have a 64GB iPad2 and selected to "Automatically fill free space with songs".... will it have to download that 60GB of music to my ipad everytime I sync? It took about 8 hours to sync the music to it.
I did this last night at 10pm thinking it would take 30 minutes to sync these 10,000 songs or so to my ipad to take up the 64 GB. I went to bed because it was taking so long and woke up at 6am and it was just about to finish. It finished around 630am. So it took a good 8 hours to sync.
I unhooked it and used it for an hour or so and then hooked it backup so that I could update a few apps on it. When i did that it acted like it was re-adding all of those songs again and it took about 8 hours again to sync all the music. Was that just a fluke because I made changes to the ipad? or will it always calculate and then re-sync alllllllllllllllllll of those 10,000 songs?
Thanks so much for any help!!!

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

You will need a SIM to activate it. There is no way around that. The SIM does not have to be active, but it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked. Once activated, it can be removed and used like an iPod touch, but if you ever have to restore or update iOS, you will need the SIM to re-activate it.

Sync takes hours

My new 3Gs takes hours for the SYNC to complete, and not just the first time, everytime, this is really annoying, I have deleted and reinstalled Itunes 8.2, no help, reset the Iphone via Itunes. My computer is a home built running a AMD 3500 chip, 2 megs of RAM, G-Force 6600, and Windows XP home with all the updates, please help!

Typically this is a data corruption...mostly with an installed app...ESPN is known to cause this issue...remove it and reinstall the app...if you don't have ESPN then try to remember the last few apps you installed and remove each of them until you find the one that causes the lag...then reinstall the app again...
Removing all apps may be needed if you dont remember which apps are recently added...just remove them all and then reinstall..
99% of the time this will fix your issue...
1% you may need to do a full restore...just remember to NOT select "restore from backup" and be sure to USE "restore as new iPhone"
Using the back up to restore just puts the corrupt data right back on...

My music takes up space on my iPad Lthough i chose not to sync ANY music

I have selected not to sync any music to my iPad 2, but in "Usage" it shows that music takes up 7gb of my space and those 7gb are missing for movies now!

No, there is NO music at all. Also, i deselected to sync music and there is no music in my music app on the iPad. So I have 7gb less for putting movies on my iPad. This is very weird, because my whole music library is only like 4gb so even if I HAD selected to sync music, i'd would only be like 4gb, so...that's really annoying

Why does it take so long (many hours) to sync my iPod nano?

Is this normal? It takes 5-6 hours to sync 2500 songs to my 6th gen nano. Seems excessive. The guy at the Apple store genius bar said this should take only about an hour.

8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time. What should I do next besides wait?
