My iPod touch is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour.

My iPod touch 4th gen 32gb verson 4.3.1 is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour. I just got it a day ago and I backed up all my apps music and pictures and videos from iTunes. Few months ago I had an iPod touch but I lost it and it was working fine. Luckily before I lost it i backed up everything to iTunes so now everything that was in my old iPod is now in my new iPod. Anyways, When I first bought it I straight away backed up everything and saw that i had many updates on my apps. I started updating it all at once but even the first one was not loading at all and mty ipod was hanging many times during the updates so i cancelled all the updates. i even tried it on my computer and it was taking forever but my laptop does updating and downloading apps slower than my ipod so that doesnt matter. Even when I download an app on my iPod now its take more that an hour. So i was wondering, is my iPod slow cause I backed up too many things when i just got it . I have about 120 apps 150 plus photos and 70 videos and I backed it up all in one night on the day i got my ipod. So now I'm restoring my iPod and updating it to IOS 5 and see what happens. Hopefully it will be faster then but I still need to know what is main problem of m iPod hanging and slow updating/downloading. Need a reply ASAP. Thanks

Still you can switch it off while syncing.
You can also do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

  • Iphone5 - Downloading application from app store takes more than 24 hours to download and install, even if the memory size of app is very small about 2 MB. WIFI connection seems to works well - because the webpages browsing using safari is very fast.

    I face problem with downloading application from apple store.
    It took more than 5 hours to install google maps application and many other application took more than 24 hours.
    It is very worst to see such downloading performace with my new bought iphone5.
    My WIFI connections seems to be very good. As I can able to open many webpages at very high speed.
    I can able to see my many HD videos open and play immediately once I touch.
    Though i cannot able to test the speed, as the www.speedtest.net also not working in my iphone5.
    When i launch speedtest.net app i get the message "Finding closest server" forever and it is never showing the speed details.
    My laptop shows the 10Mbps speed with speedtest.net on the same WIFI network
    I got much frustrated with iphone5. Can someone help me to fix this issue ?

  • HT1386 My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

    My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

    I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
    Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
    I would then close iTunes and then reopen it.  Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
    Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased. 
    Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open.  You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
    Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
    I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process.  Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
    So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
    I hope that helps.

  • IPod Touch 3 won't update apps

    iPod Touch 3 won't update apps. When I respond to the notice of an available update, the icon dims and a "waiting" message appears under it. It will hang like that until I delete it and reinstall the new app. I had another problem that has been resolved when I tried to get more episodes of a podcast, I ended up with 11 of them in the queue that wouldn't ever finish. They too would just hang there. I had to delete them all and get them through iTunes. I don't know how to upgrade the apps from iTunes though. Why is this happening just since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1?

    If We Update 2nd Gen Ipod Touch From 3.1.3 To Higher Level WilL It Slow my iPod  :/
    I suppose that's debatable.
    My iPod does ocassionaly take a few seconds to carry out a command, but since it is such a powerful device, capable of so much, I'm prepared to wait two extra seconds.
    (I have 2nd generation iPod Touch with iOS 4.2.1 on it.)
    By the way, since your question has no connection to the one asked by the original poster, it would have been far wiser for you to create your own thread. That way, you are actually more likely to get responsess to your question.

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • I can't download and update app

    I can't download and update app for 2 days it show waiting and cannot connect to itune store,please help me! I try to sign out and sign in apple id but it's not work

    For the Can't connect to the iTunes Store Message .....
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead a year or two. You will probably get some sort of error message telling you to correct the date so that you can connect to the server. Go back to the setting and set the date and time to Automatically on again.
    See if you can can connect to the iTunes store.
    For the "waiting" icons .....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.

  • When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?"  Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

    When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?"  Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple).  I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update".  No problem.  No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

  • TS1702 I restored my iPod touch 1st generation and the App Store won't let me download apps I previously had.

    I got an iPod touch 1st generation and downloaded loads of apps, some paid some free. A few weeks ago I restored the iPod touch and when I went to download apps that I had already owned it said I needed a newer iOS.  It says I need iOS 4.3 and I have iOS 4.2.1 and when i tried to update it says I have no software updates.

    Do you have any of those apps saved on your computer, in iTunes?
    It is true that your 1st generation iPad is already now running the highest version of iOS it can. It cannot be updated further.  If the developer has pulled the older versions of their apps and now only offers versions requiring iOS 5 or 6 then you will not be able to run those apps any longer (unless you kept backup copies of the older versions in iTunes on your computer).
    Developers determine what version(s) of their apps are in the App Store. As many have updated their apps to take advantage of the enhancements in iOS 6 , they've pulled their older versions and no longer support them.

  • Ipod Touch went blank while updating apps

    ipod touch went blank while updating new apps i was updating enigmo it was syncing with itunes using windows then itunes got hanged and ipod touch also
    now its screen is black and i tried to reboot it but cant i press all buttons nothign happening and ipod is very hot even though its not connected to itunes any one can help me?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Can't download and update app's via app store

    Hello. When i try to download or update app's from app store on my mac, there is a message box with the following text-" We could not complete your request.There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    any idea?

    try booting to safe mode (restart while holding down the shift key) and once booted there open the app store and try downloading the updates and see if it works.
    if it doesn't try a new test user to install the updates. the following article tells how to create a new acct on the mac:
