Slow syncing on my iPhone 3GS

Hi guys
I recently got a 3GS, and i'm trying to transfer music to it on iTunes on Windows 7. However, it's so slow! In 1 hour it manages around 100 tracks, and it keeps freezing for shot periods of time. I've tried doing it manually, and i've tried syncing the music onto it, no difference. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, i've tried a newer cable and different USB port in my PC, no luck. I had an iPod Touch, same problem when transferring music manually, but worked fine when syncing. Strange thing is, it worked fast on my girlfriends computer(windows 7), but i've tried my laptop, also windows 7, same problem.
Can anyone help me? I really don't want to spend 6+ hours getting music on my iPhone! Help!

You don't say which version of the iOS you're using, but...

  • ICal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync

    My iCal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync. It worked great until about a month ago. I've made over 300 Calendar changes to my iPhone 3gs' Calendar, but not a single item has synced back to my iCal on my iMac, when I sync my iTunes (which I do almost daily). In addition, I've created some items on my iCal, as a test, and none of them sync onto my iPhone 3gs.
    What gives? Ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks for your help!

    Well, I was able to manually sync my iPhone to my iCal one time, but haven't been able to get it to sync Calendar info since then. It was moderately successful, so I could export an iCal backup file. However, I ended up with about 200 MORE duplicate items on my iPhone, and what's weird is that many of these duplicates do NOT have any "edit" functionality! So I a, stuck with them being on the day they are at right now. Grrrrrr

  • I just started using the Pages app on my iPad2. Two questions: Do I have to buy the Pages iPhone app separately or will the iPad version sync to my iPhone 3GS? Am I able to sync Pages docs created on my iPad2 for viewing/editing on my iPhone 3GS?

    You can use the File Sharing feature at the bottom of the iTunes Apps pane when you connect to iTunes. Transfer the documents to your computer, and from there to your iPhone.

  • Syncing is really slow after upgrading my iPhone 3Gs to iOS 4.3.3.

    After upgrading my iPhone 3Gs to iOS 4.3.3, syncing my iPhone takes 15 to 20 minutes.  Prior to this, it only took a minute or two.  It just sits on "Preparing to Sync" the whole time, an finally completes the sync after 15 or 20 minutes.  My office 2007 Outlook locks up in "Office Outlook is Syncronizing Folders" right after syncing.  I have to reboot the computer to get it out of this state.  What is the problem here?  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, how was it resolved?  Thank you.

  • Voice Memos not syncing from my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro. Sync music is ticked in iTunes along with include Voice Memos box

    Hi, I am trying to get my voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro via iTunes and it is not working. I have ticked sync music in the music tab of the iPhone device and the include voice memos box is also ticked. So, apparently this should work, but there is no sign of the voice memos in iTunes or in the iTunes folder in the finder window. Any ideas much appreciated! :-) Thank you.

    I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
    By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.

  • Syncing Apps from iPhone 3GS to 4S

    Hey folks,
    I recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S. I synced up my 3GS to iTunes and then connected my new phone. When I synced them I chose the restore from existing option. This worked great and I have all of my messages, email account settings, Photos etc etc. However, None of my Apps have been transferred to the new device. How do I get all of my Apps from the 3GS to the 4S??
    Any help would be great!

  • Trouble Syncing Apps from iPhone 3GS to iTunes 10.2.1.

    I have yet to update my iPhone 3GS to the newest OS because of an on-going issue I have been having with syncing my purchased apps on iTunes 10.2.1. Despite having authorized my computer and re-installing both iTunes and Quicktime, every time I try to sync my apps, I receive an error message that says that it was unable to sync my purchased apps because my computer has not been authorized. Since I did authorize my computer, this is obviously not true. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for how to fix it? Thanks!

  • ITunes 9.2 not syncing music with iPhone 3GS?

    I'm suddenly having trouble syncing music to my iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0.1.
    I have iTunes set up so that it will only sync selected playlists, artists, and genres. When I make any changes to the selections, iTunes remembers it (even after closing and re-opening) but when I use the sync button, the music or playlists do not transfer. I see iTunes backing up the iphone, transferring purchased items, syncing applications, and then it finishes without transferring anything else.
    Anybody seen this before?

    Disable your firewall and then try. Once synching begins, then enable your firewall. Simple.

  • Problem syncing iCal from iPhone (3GS) to Macbook, any ideas?

    Hi,
    I've always synced my iPhone & Mac via a cable and never had a problem until a few months ago when my calender entries on my iPhone stopped syncing to my Macbook. But if I create an event on my Macbook then later sync my iPhone the event appears on my phone's calender, so it only appears to be a one-way problem from phone to Mac. Phone is iPhone 3GS & Mac system is 10.6.8 Any ideas?

    Like it or not, you need third-party software and I don't know of anything free that works. Get this:

  • Calendars in Outlook 2010 won't sync with my iPhone 3gs

    Since I installed iOS 4.3 in my iPhone 3GS I cannot get iTunes 10.4 to sync my Calendars in Outlook 2010 with my iPhone.  I have not changed any settings and it has worked without problems for the last year until I installed iOS 4.3
    Can anyone help me sort this out.

    Here's what I've discovered: Outlook has two "versions," one for iCloud and one that is an Outlook data file ("My calendar"). You can check a box in Outlook to enable either of them (go to the Home tab and expand the navigation pane). The iPad does not sync with the Outlook data file. Anything entered there has to be manually copied to the iCloud version of Outlook in order to sync with iPad. So, to sync with iPad you have to uncheck "My calendar" in Outlook and then check "iCloud" and use that version of Outlook. But when I use the iCloud version, Outlook will not accept appointments sent to me by clients. It also screws up my communication with clients in other ways. So using the iCloud version of Outlook does not work for me.
    I've discovered a third-party software that seems to solve this issue: Code Two Sync for iPad. You can Google it for reviews, the download link, etc. I downloaded and installed it and it immediately copied (synced?) all the appointments in the Outlook data file version of Outlook ("My calendar") to the iCloud version and synced them with my iPad. There were a bunch of duplicates, but I think there's some way to fix that. However...it also crashed Outlook on my computer (I have an older computer that is having issues). So I needed to uninstall it. I repeat, this is because my computer has been having other issues, I don't think it is the software's fault. I may try it again when I have more time to troubleshoot. Anyway, you might try this software and see if it works for you.

  • Syncing Notes between Iphone 3GS and Macbook Pro

    I've read all the forums I can about this, but can't seem to find the answer.
    I want to sync my notes between my Iphone 3GS and my Macbook Pro. Right now when I add a note in my Iphone it automatically is added in my mail account in the Macbook.
    However, if I add a note in the Macbook, it does not get added to my Iphone.
    I'd like it to go both ways. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    This forum is really for the MacBook Pro hardware, not for iPhone issues. I think the best place to ask this question is here:

  • Cannot sync music to iPhone 3GS

    I just bought a new computer & wanted to have my iTunes on the new computer that I downloaded all music to. When I tried to sync my iPhone 3GS to my music it does not work. Can anyone let me know what I might be doing wrong?
