Slow sync to Windows 7
I have an iPod Classic and since setting up my PC with Windows 7, I've found it's probably 10x slower to sync than it was with Windows XP. It does sync successfully, I can transfer songs and videos, etc. Everything works - it's just greatly slower.
OS is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
All Windows updates are current
I'm running the latest version of iTunes (9.1.1).
The PC has more than enough horsepower (quadcore, 8GB RAM, etc.)
My iPod says it's software is 2.0.1.
Under Windows XP, if there were no major changes (new songs, videos, etc.), the sync time was a couple minutes at most, often faster.
Under Windows 7 Pro, it's often 10+ minutes.
Any ideas?
Upon looking it up, it appears my iPod is a 5th generation, if that matters.

Extremely Slow Sync on Windows 7
Hello
I recently installed Windows 7 on my system. Before that I had Vista and before that I had XP, both systems synced really quickly with no problems.
Now that im on Windows 7, iTunes is syncing music to my iPod touch very slowly. Iv posted this on other forums and tried removing and installing all traces of apple software and iv tried disabling backup. Nothing is working.
Please help, im starting to really get annoyed with this.iTunes itself was running extremely slow on my computer. I would click a song to play and it'd take several seconds to register the click.
It wasn't an issue with the computer, as it is a new i7 (quad-core/hyperthreading)computer with 16gbs of ram and running Windows 7. Following advice from elsewhere, I tried running iTunes 'as an administrator'.. and it sped up considerably.
To run as administrator:
* Right-click iTunes icon
* Select 'Properties'
* Click 'Compatibility' tab
* Check 'Run this program as an administrator'
* Click 'ok'.
A side note, running as administrator will cause you to click 'ok' on the UAC notice when you first run the program. To me, this was preferably to the program running so slow. -
Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.
Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

IMac & Macbook running slower than a Windows computer
Hello all, I need some help with my apple products. I spend half my day messing with the internet to try and get it going instead of sitting there with a blank look on its face. They freeze up to an extent. I generally can always close out Safari, shut off the wifi, then turn wifi on and safari will work somewhat better sometimes. Here is the Etre report for both the iMac and MacBook. Also on the MacBook report, I was digging around in my system report and found something that made me think it might be bad so i have included it as well. Please help me and keep me from wasting half my day every day. Thanks. There is several extra lines after the Macbook report that came from my system report. I don't know if it is pertinent or not but I feel like it is. I wasn't sure what to leave out so I just put it all in, sorry for the long post.
Note----- I took out the logs that were from the previous address I lived at. Just included from when I moved into new house.
THIS IS FOR THE iMac
Problem description:
Ever since I moved into this new house my apple computers have slowed down to granny speed and sometimes they just sit there and stare at you. I have an iMac from 2011, a mac book pro 2014, iPhone 6, iPhone 4s, and to top it off a windows computer that is used for graphic software. I have 2 TV’s that we use as well. My internet and cable are provided by ATT and at my old house it worked great, no problems. I have had ATT out twice since install in January. They have given me a new modem, and a booster to help increase the reach of the wireless internet. My internet is supposed to be 18mbs download and for the life of me can’t think of the upload speed. When testing I usually have a 10 to 11 download and a 1.80 upload speed. I have ran verify disk, fix permissions so many times and that it is ridiculous. My iMac is used in the back room which is about 30 feet from modem, that is why they gave me the booster the 2nd time out. The macbook is used just whereever. The speed of the Mac’s is slower then the Windows computer. That ain’t right. I don’t download anything, I don’t go to crazy suspect sites. I have taken the iMac to apple store and they tested it and said it was fine. I have re-installed the O.S. (Yosimiteme 10.10.3). I just want my apples to work properly again.

Hopefully its ok to post that. I went into system preference and went to network and DNS server as a ip number and search domains as attlocal.net not sure thats correct, but that is what my phone had. Anyway it started working good for a while now it is just going slow again. I don't have anything set up for the tab 802.1X and my proxies is blank in the protocol to configure (nothing checked( and I a have this *.local, 169.254/16 in the bypass proxy setting plus the use passive FTP box is checked. Maybe that will help some. I will look at the extensions and get rid of them, I thought I had already done that though. Ok, thanks for the input let me know if any of this helps or what I should do. Thanks again.

Treo 750 syncing w/ Windows Vista 32bit
I have a Treo 750 that I had synced with windows xp. Ever since I "upgraded" to windows vista I have not been able to sync. The computer won't even recognize the phone as connected. Here is what I have and what I have tried already. I have, as mentioned, the Treo 750 running windows mobile 5.0/ the laptop was running xp which I had no problems setting up and syncing. I now have window vista 32bit I guess since when I tried downloading WMDC 64bit it wouldn't support the download, so I have WMDC 32bit. When I downloaded WMDC the treo was connected through a usb cable. I have uninstalled and re-installed WMDC several times. Sometimes the device manager will not recognize the usb cable and sometimes it does. When it does recognize the cable it shows a bluetooth symbol and says everything is working properly but when I open up WMDC I am not connected, if I push the sync button nothing happens, if I unplug the usb cable and replug the device manager then will no longer recognize the usb cable. I have also tried everything on the support boards, help forums, you name it I have tried it except a hard reset which I don't want to do until I sync all my info first. Oh yeah the whole reason I am so desperate to sync my phone after such a long time is because my phone constantly freezes up as if I have to much going on which I don't. I have cleaned out every program not necessary so I have tons of memory, so that is not slowing down or freezing my phone. I basically have to soft reset my phone after I do or run 3-4 different applications including phone calls. ANYONE PLEASE HELP EITHER OF THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPS ME FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUPID THING OUT. THANKS DAVE
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)Yeah I have tried that already no luck. Here are some other things that I forgot to mention. I have another laptop that is running windows xp, this laptop has never been synced to anything. I downloaded Microsoft Activesync but it will not connect to that either. The difference with this computer is that when I plug it into the USB port it makes a sound and when I push the usb sync button it makes a beep followed by another beep. Lastly I have another Treo (my girlfriends) that when I first tried to sync to WMDC it did not connect but after running troubleshoots I got it to work on both computers. It is so frustrating.

My curret iOS is 5.0.1 but I have had this problem since back in iOS 4 (since 4.2).
I have closed every app in the multi-task bar. I have clears all cache and related in Safari.
I have tried various USB sync cables and I havre tried Wi-Fi sync. Still slow syncing.
My PC is a 2.17 GHz Dual Core PC, with 2 GB of Ram. Even if iTunes is the only program running my 3GS syncs so slow (takes up to 30 min to do 20 songs). Other both USB and Wi-Fi, I get the same results after doing everything I mentioned above.
When I first got my 3GS, it synced 100 songs in 5 to 10 minutes but now it takes up to 30 min to sync 20 songs over USB 2.0 or Wi-Fi.
My iPhone has just over 2 GB of free space out of the formatted capcity of 6.22GB on my 8 GB 3GS.
My iTunes couldnt go faster I have done evyerthing to speed it up that I could find on the internet from disabling auto features to removing smart playlists.
After doing all I can as stated above my iPhone still wont sync like it used to. It is only 1 year old.
Most of my media is in iTunes native media folders only small portion of my media is in other locations.
If the iPhone is like a PC when its hardrive is mostly full (computers run slow with a full hardrive) thats bad.
I doubt the iPhone is like that tho. Flash Memory drives aren't like that, and the iPhone has flash memory for storage.
What can I do that I haven't aleader to improve my sycn speeds?
My iPhone does still perform on its own quite well, and quite fast and with that mind.
Also I hvae tried doing as much as I can to make my phone runas fast as possible but no lck sync speeds.
Help me if you can, Thanks in adavance for you help.
(Yeah Vista is lame, a contributing factor to my slow sync speeds I bet but I can't afford to upgrade to Windows 7 or a Mac.No.
The iPhone 3GS 16GB and 32GB have the same processor, the same amount of RAM, and the same graphics card.
The only difference with the 3GS is the storage capacity.
The same for the iPhone 3G and with the original iPhone. -
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.

ITunes 10.5 very slow syncing with idevices not a backup issue
I have the latest itunes 10.5.2 installed on my 32 bit Windows 7 pc. Ever since i upgraded my ipod 4 and iphone 4 to ios 5 it syncs very slowly with itunes (1 song aka 5 mb every 2 min and takes like 7 min to start syncing). i have tried restoring my phone and ipod with a new profile, making my ipod or iphone backup to icloud so that kills the long backup issue, reinstallled windows and just have itunes, reinstall itunes and wipeout the appledrivers then reinstall. The devices sync fine when i use a mac that isnt mine. i also have tried outher windows pcs with no luck. im out of ideas and im tired of wating 4 hrs just for a audiobook or a movie to sync.
Yeah seriously, I have my first gen iPhone and never had a issue with it. Blackberry always had a horrible desktop manager for the PC for YEARS and I always had to debug the issues myself for clients. Unfortunately for a lot of my clients the Blackberry is a better device for business, just horrible desktop software.
Eventually I'll push my client to move over to hosted exchange server, But for right now before making that push, I need to resolve this issue with the Blackberry sync. I would hate for all the work and conversion over to the Mac to be wasted over a simple issue that possibly can be resolved by a simple setting I'm over looking.
It's also a possibility the extremely slow syncing can be caused by years of unorganized entering of contacts, but trying to sort out over 2000 contacts would be near impossible for a person with a busy schedule. -
I am facing issue in Receiving incoming calls, Name not getting displayed though the same has been saved in my phone book!! I have done sync from Windows contacts.. please help if some1 knows how to rectify the issue...
Has your carrier been having issues with Call Display? Do the telephone numbers come up when people call, or does it just show 'Unknown Number' or 'Blocked' ?

Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7
Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

Help BB Q10 - syncing with windows 7 contacts
I've just bought a BB Q10 (for me) AND a BB Z10 (for she who must e obeyed) Both are set up to sync via BB link (1.1.1.41) with windows 7 contacts on our respective laptops. The Z10 sync's without any problem BUT the Q10 will not sync and comes up with the error code of 2511 'error converting Unicode string to or from code page string'. A web search says this is a known fault and that a fix is on its way BUT this was dated March 2013. Does anyone know of a fix OR when the BB fix will be available?
Steve:
For my Z30...
I received the error code 5211 when attempting my first sync with BBLink and my Z30. My data file included about 1400 contacts so I took a stab at parsing the task. Rather than trying to synch the entire contact list I broke the task down to blocks of 117 and completed the task over multiple syncs. I also suspected a mapping error so in conjunction with the "sync-in-nibbles" technique I also remapped some questionable fields that I thought may be confusing the process. I don't know if both or just one of these was the remedy but I did get the sync completed and subsequent syncs have been trouble free.
A caveate to the above....which may or may not apply to your situation.
BBLink would not recognize Outlook, ie, Outlook was not offered as a sync option via BBlink. I was offered only Windows Contacts as a sync option and this folder is typically empty. So, to skirt this problem I exported my Outlook Contacts as CSV to an intermediate folder. I then imported the CSV file into Windows Contacts which, during the import, converted the CSV file into 1400 individual x.contact records. I then used BBLink to sync my Z30 with the Windows Contact folder and transferred all contacts to the Z30 without a hitch. To verify that contacts modified on the Z30 would update in Outlook, I performed another sync with Windows Contacts. I verified that the changes did xfer and new contacts were added to Win Contacts as expected. Next, I exported the Windows Contact files to a new Folder as a CSV file. I then used Outlook to import the CSV file and I verified that the edits made on the Z30 did appear in Outlook. Sync Complete! Whew! Its really not that bad to perform once I had a process tuned.
I purge the Windows Contact folder before importing each new CSV file. Actually, I simply move thm to a purgatory folder until I am sure I no longer need them then I purge.
Windows Contacts is available with Vista and Win 7.
For all you folks who have Win 7 or Vista and can't sync with Outlook, try the above process using Windows Contacts. Hope it eases the pain.

i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???
Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!
