Slow sync on iPod Touch 2g

i have a ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb and it syncs really slow on windows 7 x64, backing up is fast and itunes works great but when i sync about 800 songs it takes forever it has ios 4.2 on it. i also have quite a few apps. it seems like in windows 7 when syncing itunes really slows down to where its doesn't respond. i used to have windows xp x86 and it was quite fast. I have no idea how to fix this and would like to find out how, any ideas?

Usually, slow sync's come from insufficient memory, syncing through a USB hub, or trying to get away with USB-1 on an old PC. If you put Win 7 on a PC that was running XP, hopefully you increased your RAM to at least 4GB. But even then, iTunes is a memory hog and the CPU is going to be taxed pretty heavily just trying to run Win 7. But if this is a new PC, then make sure you're connected directly to the PC and not through a hub or other USB peripheral.

  • Slow sync speed ipod touch 3G

    I have a new ipod touch 3g 3.1.2 32gb and it is almost filled up, and every time I sync to iTunes (ver. 9) it takes forever to backup!? I have over 450GB of free space on my external hard drive, can I change it so this is the drive to backup onto? My main c:\ drive which Itunes is installed on only has 15Gb free space. For example the last backup took 1 hour 15 minutes!?!

    You can't just transfer the backups.
    You're going to have to transfer your itunes library to the external hard drive, which will free up on your C drive : http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/
    That done, whenever you use iTunes in the future the external will have to be connected and powered on.

  • Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch, iTunes freezes?

    Well, it's pretty self-explanatory. Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch (5th generation), iTunes freezes. It starts syncing for a few seconds, slows down, stops, then iTunes becomes unresponsive. If I don't force quit it, after a few minutes, iTunes is fine, but my device still hasn't synced. Any solutions/suggestions?

  • What happen if I sync my iPod touch with a pc without a USB 2.0?

    I have a pc without USB 2.0 and I want to know what happen if I sync my iPod touch with that pc?

    The iPod will not be damage.  It just my not sync with USB 1.1  or it may just be slow. As a test, I connectd my Ipod to my G4 Mac with USB 1.1 iTunses regonized the iPod but I di not want tos ync since I sync with my Mac mini.

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • I want to sync my ipod touch on itunes but it is telling me that i can only open it on one, what can i do so i won't have to delete anything and still be able to sync in?

    my computer got all messed up so now i am using a different user on the computer to use it. iTunes isn't letting me sync my ipod touch 4g. It keeps on saying "This ipod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPOd can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I don't think i want to try the erase and sync method because i think it will delete everything. Is there anyway that i can sync my ipod into this iTunes and not have everything deleted?

    No.
    Use your backup copy of  your computer to put everything back.

    You don't.  You synch your iPod to your computer.  There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod.  You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.

    How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?  not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  you should get the option to merge.
    You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
