Syncing Takes 15 minutes or More!

Twice now, when syncing, itunes has taken a long time to back up my phone and the sync is relatively short. This is a new iPhone and I've got over 28gb free. There's not much on it.
Are such long syncs typical? Most syncs are much shorter.

Backups should take on average 15~20 seconds, more if you have numerous photos in your camera roll, a corrupted backup stored on your computer, apps with large amounts of data that's not managed properly or corrupted data on your phone. In your case, I'd suspect the phone call that interrupted your backup may have corrupted that backup currently on your computer. That's not supposed to happen, but it does. So, delete all of your existing backups and start over again. If you don't have any itunes content on your phone, you might even try restoring as a new device to eliminate any corrupted files on your phone. Your first backup(after you delete any existing backups) will take perhaps several minutes, certainly no longer than that. Subsequent backups will be much quicker. I've got a 32gb 3Gs over half filled & my backups take no more than 10~15 seconds. But, I don't keep any photos in my camera roll, I regularly sync(the first thing done when you sync is a backup), if my backup times increase, I identify the culprit(usually an app), contact the developer and if not fixed, I delete the app. Backups, after that first one, are incremental in that only the data that has changed is backed up. So, sync regularly, keep photos out of your camera roll & imported to your computer & watch for misbehaving apps.

Downloading an app on to my iPad mini takes 15 minutes or more. Is there a way to speed up the process?

Downloading an app on to my iPad mini takes 15 minutes or more just for one app is there a way to speed up the process?

Maybe your internet is very slow.
Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Slow outgoing Pop mail with Lion- is anyone else having this problem? Email without attachments can take 10 minutes or more to go.

Outgoing pop mail is very slow - at times 10 - 20 minutes and more, even on messges with no attachments. This has happened since my upgrade to Lion. My DSL line tests out ok, but Apple says it must be a slow line. Any one else have problems?

POP is only used for incoming mail. Some POP servers are the same as SMTP servers.
Check to make sure your internet service provider can either give you an SMTP server, or that you are using password authentication to get to an outside line with the proper port. Outside SMTP servers are often on one of the ports 587, 2626, 2662, and often use your full e-mail address for username authentication.

Firefox takes 1 minute or more to open pages.

Hey,
Recently updated to Firefox 15, now all webpages take at least 1 minute to load. However, there is no internet issue, it's really strange. For example, I'll open four different websites, they'll all say 'Connecting to x' or 'Waiting for x' and just stay there for a minute. After a while, they'll all load as usual at the same time. It's like Firefox has loaded the pages but just isn't displaying them, while this was happening once, I tried resetting the router to see if there was an error there and it still loaded the page after 1 minute, while there was no internet connection available.
I've tried - disabling firewall, anti virus, reinstalling Firefox, restarting router and disabling plugins. Other internet browsers work with no problem.
Thanks

But perhaps you could provide me with a list of recommend add ons

Printing takes 30 minutes or more

Printing a 6-page newsletter takes up to a half hour. I am printing on an HP Laser Printer (2300), and I have exported the newsletter to a .pdf. I have tried reducing the size but don't want to mess up image resolution. BTW: all the images have been dragged in from "Media" using iPhoto. They aren't particularly large photos, but the newsletter is a 10.3 Mb file. Is there a way to reduce them as I bring them in...or do I have to put them in Photoshop to reduce them first? Is there anything else that would slow it down?

When you import a picture into Pages via Media, you are bringing in the picture at the same resolution and size that it was imported into iPhoto. So if the picture was taken with your 10 megapixel camera and unedited, that's quite a large picture. When you resize and crop that picture in Pages, the physical size of the picture is unchanged and when you print it all those pixels are sent to the printer, even the ones that aren't needed by the printer.
In short, you should always resize your photos in graphic editing program and reset their resolution to one that makes sense for the final product. In the case of your HP 2600, you probably won't notice any difference in the quality of your print if you reduce the resolution of the photos to 150 dpi.

Does Backing Up during sync take 20-30 minutes for everyone else?

Since the 2.0 upgrade, syncing takes one minute less than eternity. Well okay, not that long, but at least 1000% longer than it did before. The longest step is "Backup up iPod" which just crawls.
My syncs, which used to take less than a minute when I wasn't copying new music or shows over, now take at least 5 minutes, and have taken as long as 30 minutes.
Certainly this isn't normal? Anyone else seeing incredibly long sync time?

So I tried deleting my iTouch 2.0 backup file (first manually, by going into the\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder, and second via the iTunes:Preferences:Syncing dialog) - this makes no difference. Sync now apparently always Backs Up in the Windows environment as part of the Syncing process. Since Back Up and Sync are separate context-menu items for the iPod, shouldn't they be independent operations.
Also, it's not good backup policy to have exactly one backup (of your iPod 30 seconds ago) - has this change been implemented because of instability in the iTouch 2.0 release? (as a defense in case your iPod self-destructs during the Sync process) - if so, perhaps the backup will be removed / sped up in the first patch release.
Does the Mac environment show the same behavior change?

Takes 15 minutes to burn a CD... Why so slow?

I just switched from a 4-year old laptop to a new one and find that it takes forever to burn an hour's worth of music. It used to take just a few minutes on my old clunker, and now it takes 15 minutes or more on a top-notch laptop. What's going on? What can I do to optimize the burn speed? I have the burn speed preferences set to "maximum possible." I tried other settings, but none of them were any better.
Help!

ITunes takes 10 minutes to load

I have HP Desktop with Windows Vista and latest version of iTunes. When I start iTunes it takes 10 minutes or more to load. My other friends using same version of iTunes on their computers with Vista say it loads much quicker. What can I do to speed it up? I have already tried defragmenting my hard drive and cleaning off all unused files. All my other programs are loading and operating okay.

Hmm. Those specifications are extremely high for iTunes.
I would think maybe it has something to do with loading your media. Is that stored somewhere other than your HDD or scattered around your HDD (rather than iTunes copying it onto it's own folder)?

Synchronizing with Outlook Calendar - 16,000 entries takes 41 minutes to sync.

I'm trying to move to my new 8330 and leave my Palm Tungsten T3 behind. I've transferred all my data onto my new 8330, but when I go to sync the data, it takes 41+ minutes to finish a back up the 16,000+ entries on my calendar. I'm either stupidly missing a simple setting (either on my handheld or in the desktop software) that will speed the sync process up significantly or I need some other software other than Blackberry Desktop to get the job done.
Is there a way to speed the backup of all my data along? My T3 takes about two minutes.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alright here I go for the 3rd time...
I'll assume you've already installed or are going to install Blackberry Desktop on at least one of your PC's. Once that's done and you have connected your BB to the PC via the USB cable, you can enter the Blackberry Desktop software and click on "Synchronize". Next click on the "Configure Tab", and then click on the "Configure Synch" button. From inside that screen, you have four options to determine rules of a back up: Calendar, Memo Pad, Address Book, and Tasks. You select one item, go through the set up wizard and set rules of whether you want data baked up or not. You also select if you will allow data from your desktop to overwrite your BB or vice versa, or both (my initial post was as a result of my being conservative and only allowing my desktop to overwrite my BB but not the other way around, and when I adjusted that setting, I got a 2 minute backup instead of a 1 hour backup.)
You can go back into this screen, click on the "Advanced" button and alter any of these settings, and make additional selections with things like whether you want the desktop to give a warning prior to overwriting data, or if you don't want any warning at all.
I'm sure this will help. Take care.

Syncing takes about 10 minutes

After my initial activation and sync (which was very fast, several minutes total and my phone was running), every time since then, it takes a very long time.
By this I mean, I was at the point where it would simply hang on syncing, it would stay on bookmarks, or contacts, or calendar for about 30 minutes then nothing.
So, after much testing I finally made a new user on my machine and it did sync in fact fine on that user.
So, I came back to my main user account and again it takes a long time but it does in fact sync.
Before you ask, I only have 106 contacts in my address book and I have very few calendar entries, and its still checked to only sync the last 30 days anyhow. So, probably 6 entries.
I started my last sync about 15 minutes prior to typing this post, and it has been sitting on syncing calendar for the last 12 minutes or so.
I have run software update and rebooted the iPhone and my MBP several times.
Something I noticed, on menumeters, I can see that even with absolutely nothing else running except for the iTunes sync, it typically has about 8kb/s-11kb/s of data going up and down during the sync. I have not checked off the box for it to sync with Yahoo contacts or calendar.

Yes, and I think I've finally tracked it down.
The process is called Translator. When I "inspect" this process in Activity Monitor, at the very bottom it shows it going out to my ISP.
Now, while the sync hangs, I can force quit this process and sure enough, the sync process moves forward like a charm.
And, the item it was hanging on (whether its contacts, calendar or bookmarks) does in fact sync properly.
So, how do I make "translator" not hang?

After upgrade to iTunes 10.2 Sync takes 30-45 minutes EVERYTIME!

I know there is another thread about this, but it is marked as SOLVED when it is not. I've tried every suggestion there and nothing helps.
Before the upgrade, it took 1-2 minutes to sync. Now it take ~45 minutes every time, even if nothing has changed.
I am assuming that since these discussions are in the support area at apple.com that someone from Apple would be reading them. Is that true?
The only thing I can think to do now is to reinstall the version I was running before but I am afraid to do that because I don't want to lose all the changes I've made to my music database etc.
Can someone tell me if there is going to be a fix for this broken release or if it is safe to reinstall the previous version. I can't live with 30-45 minutes to perform a sync each time.

I'm just glad this happened before I went out and bought and iPad. I was very happy with the iPod despite the fact that it doesn't run Flash and the only way to get anything into it is through iTunes. Now It seems that Apple really isn't any better than Microsoft. They BROKE a perfectly good product and now it seems that their support forums are just a place where the customers can talk about how good their stuff USED to work before the 'upgrade'.
There doesn't even appear to be an Apple rep on these forums. We might as well be posting at hackers.com.
