My 3G iPhone takes 6 hours to sync.

Every single time I plug my 3G phone in, I have to wait 6 hours for it to finish a backup and sync. How is this possibly acceptable and when will it be fixed?
I have the following apps installed:
Band
Banner Free
BeatMaker
BlackJack21
Bloomberg
Break: 99 levels
eBay Mobile
Facebook
Google Mobile App
Labyrinth Lite Edition
Last.fm
Now Playing
Pandora
PhoneSaber
Pianist
Sketches
SmugShot
SuperMonkeyBall
Tap Tap Revenge
Texas Hold'em
Twitterific
Other information:
iTunes claims that I have 2 applications that have updates available. But when I click the "updates" arrow, iTunes then claims there are no available updates (bug)
I have 83 megs of photos, 1.17 gb of videos, 700mb of audio, and 718.5mb of "other". 12gb free.
I've deleted every app on the device and reinstalled them one at a time from iTunes. Same problem.
I've nuked the phone back to factory and started from scratch. Same problem.
My phone has less than 2 gigs of data used. I can't even imagine what it could POSSIBLY be doing for 6 hours?! There is no reason in the WORLD backing up a mobile device (even if it was FULL to 16 gigs) should take more than 20 minutes over USB 2.0.
When will this be fixed?

  • My iTunes won't force quit and says it's still syncing my iPhone after hours of syncing.

    My iTunes won't force quit and says it's still syncing my iPhone after hours of syncing. I had plugged in my iPhone 4S in the morning before I left for school, it synced almost completely, and then it got stuck on "Finishing Sync". I pulled my iPhone out because I had to leave to go to school, and iTunes is still stuck on "Finishing Sync". I tried force quitting and restarting but it's of no use. Now I can't use iTunes at all.

    Scratch that, I TRIED to shut down but I guess iTunes overrided it because it still thinks it's syncing

  • Iphone takes forever to sync

    My iphone takes about an hour or more to sync usually. It stays on "syncing contacts with 'Iphone'", mail accounts, and calendars for like 20-30 minutes a piece. My guess is because of my .pst file being so large. (10gb) yes i know it's huge, but i need most of everything in there for business. Is this what would be causing it to go so slowly? or is it just slow on vista? (or vista 64-bit)

    Check this link.

    The syncing of contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks is bidirectional with the iPhone and the supported applications on your computer - by the definition of syncing.
    The process is called syncing with iTunes but not all data is synced by the definition of syncing. Some data - such as iTunes content and pictures transferred from your computer to your iPhone is a data transfer process only as part of the sync process. Contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks are kept synchronized.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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. 

  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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.

    An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library.

  • Takes hours and hours to update iphone

    I have in iPhone and my husband has one and we were using one iTunes account (which was mine). When I go to update my husbands software it says it will take at least 80 hours to update. Mine only took 10minutes. After hours of trying to sort it out I gave up. Have since set up my husband with own apple I'd. But still it takes hours to update. What can I do to get my husbands iPhone updated. Shod I restore his phone and start frfrom scratch. I think iTunes is confused because we have same apps etc.
