Syncing my iPhone to iTunes takes 15 minutes - how can I make it faster

For some reasons all every time I sync with iTunes it transfers over all of my purchased apps even though they have already been transferred over before. This takes about 10 minutes and the back-up takes about 5 minutes. Very frustrating when all I am trying to do is get the latest broadcast of my favorite podcast so I can listen to it on the way to work. How can I get it to stop transferring over all of my purchased apps every single time I sync?

I tried clicking the little x but that defeats the point because it attempts to transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer before it syncs podcasts, music, etc. from the computer to the iPhone. When I click the X it cancels anything that hasn't been completed yet. It transfers purchases from the phone every single time. Even if I just synced and I don't disconnect the iPhone, if I click sync again, it once again transfers every single app from my phone. Any additional thoughts?
I think it is confused by the fact that I have had different iTunes accounts synced to the phone at one point but now my phone and iTunes on the computer now are logged in to the same iTunes account. However, every once in a while when I make a purchase straight from my iPhone it prompts me for the password for my old iTunes log in email.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?

How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
Any HELP please?!?
Would be much appreciated.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
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?

I forgot my security questions for iTunes... How can I make purchases on iTunes?

I can not sync my iphone with Itunes 5c

took several days trying to sync my iphone with itunes and I can not ...... When I connect the iphone itunes does not recognize it and after a few minutes a message appears Error

What's the full error message that you are getting (and is this on your computer or phone ?), and are you using a PC or a Mac - and is your computer's operating system and iTunes up-to-date ?
There is some troubleshooting for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :
PC : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Mac : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
If they don't fix it then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Mac or iTunes For Windows forum on here (this forum is for questions about the iTunes store).
