Trying to sync my ipad and the backup is taking forever

Purchased an app that will only let me download to my ipad once the ipad has been backed up.  Every time I start the sync/backup it is taking more than 24 hours so we eventually just stop it. 

Hi Have you used iPad on 2 computers? Just use the pc you want to use. When you change your iPad it Automatically backs up to iCloud you don't need to use your PC to manage your itunes Unless you have a lot of music that not from itunes. Cheers Brian

  • I'm trying to update my ipad 2 with ios 5 and the backup is taking forever

    I stopped it at 6 hours last night and the green bar was at about 5 mm.
    When i do a normal sync the backup took only 5 minutes.  I've managed to upgrade my iphone 4 (although that did take 2 hours).  I'm using windows 7.
    Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

    Try and reboot the iPad before you do the update. To do this just hold down the lock button for a few seconds and slide "power off" give it a min and hold the lock button down again to power back on.
    After this is done connect to iTunes and try the update again with a backup.
    Hope it helps.

  • I'm trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library - but I get an error message saying I Tunes Library full.  What can I do?

    I have an Ipad 2. I am trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library, but I get an error message - saying the itunes library is full.  How can that be? I've deleted lots from the library to see if that would help - but it still states I am about 25gb short.  Can anyone help what to do?

    Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

  • HT201269 Now that I installed Match and icloud I tried to sync my ipod and the previous songs that were on my lap top in itunes that i copied from CD's will not transfer over to my ipod.

    Now that I installed Match and icloud I tried to sync my ipod and the previous songs that i transferred to my lap top from CD's will not transfer to my ipod.

    That is correct. This
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    says:
    When you enable iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and replaced with your music in iCloud.
    Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.

  • Trying to sync my iPad and get the message that "all existing apps and their data will be replaced"

    Previously my Windows 7 laptop didn't recognise my iPad but I persevered and now am getting the message when trying to update the iOS that if I sync, "all existing apps and their data will be replaced" so I'll lose everything I've bought since I last synced (which is a while).  How can I back up my apps before syncing fully and then updating. I have 'transferred purchases' using the File menu but still getting the message.

    Sounds like you have created a new library somehow. Ideally you would restore your old library and the problem would go away. If that is not possible then you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the computer
    Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Download remaining past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, where available
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • My computer crashed, so we wiped everything out and re-downloaded iTunes.  I'm trying to sync my ipad and/or iphone (since I use icloud), but it says that I already synced to another iTunes.  Help!!!

    My computer crashed, so I had everything wiped out and I re-downloaded iTunes.  Now I am trying to put my songs back by syncing everything I have on my iPad.  It says I am already using or synced to a different iTunes library, so it won't let me sync.  What do I do now?  Help!!!

    At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes.  It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time.  Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
    If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
    If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.

  • Trying to sync my iPad and iPhone to a new account without losing all information

    Okay here is the situation.  I have an iPhone and an iPad all synced to my iTunes's account.  My fiancé has as iPhone and our new iMac synced to his iTunes account.  I am fully aware that you cannot merge two accounts.  We would like to use his as our primary account since that's what we set up on our iMac. How can I sync the iPhone and the iPad without losing all the information on both?

    You will need to connect both to your computer via your USB cord then launch iTunes.  Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386

  • Messages-Trying to sync iMac, iPad and iPhone

    Using ML and IOS 5.1.1
    I'm able to send a message and get the message on my iMac, iPhone and iPad. But what is not happening anymore is getting the new message number that's attached to the Messages icon. And I'm no longer getting a notification in Notification Center on the Mac. Most of these issues began to happen when I changed the Caller ID on the iPhone to my Apple ID and not the phone number.
    So what I'm trying to do is:
    Get all devices to receive the same messages
    Get a notification on the iMac
    Receive an alert in the form of a number attached to the Messages icon on all 3 devices
    That's not asking for to much is it 

    Ralph - Thanks for the reply. I have notifications set up properly. 
    I've got Notifications to work again by sending a new message to the iPhone using my Apple ID. But, after sending the message, I get double messages. Example:
    I guess it's because I'm sending a message to a device that uses the same Apple ID.  The thing I don't understand is at one point before I started changing Settings/Messages on the iPhone, everything worked using the Phone # instead of the Apple ID, I was getting notifications on all devices and no double messages. Now if I send to the phone # I get no notifications.
    I'm thinking it might be best for my wife's iphone to be set up with her own iCloud account.

  • Does anyone get failure EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) when trying to Sync your Ipad with Itunes ?

    Hello,
    I encounter a problem when trying to sync my iPad.
    The problem occurs after a few seconds when syncing and after that everytime when trying to open iTunes.
    I did not install anything in particular and have still over 20gb of free space on my hard disk.
    The first lines of the error message are displayed below.
    I have tried everything I found on the internet (such as deleting a specific font in my font library), but nothing really made the error disappear.
    Did anyone encounter the same problem and got rid of it ?
    thanks in advance,

    I have the same problem recently.
    I emailed them, and a tech/support person emailed me back and told me it was a potential third party app causing it.
    She said if you have any: web accelerators, firewall, or other stuff running it would cause it, but I tried to disable and unistall programs and still the same problem.
    Also I tried to uninstall and start fresh and same deal, even with a new stand alone version, same problem.
    I keep getting a bad kernel error when it crashes, check out here:

  • I've spent 6 hours trying to update my iPad, and it doesn't work. It can't get past trying to back up, and just stops and gives an error code. I've deleted the backup, re-synced, and tried again and still no luck. What do I do now?

    I am not running any antivirus software on my Mac, and I have the firewall shut off. Any other ideas? I have not problem downloading all other Apple software updates. I downloaded the latest iTunes software before starting the iPad update process.

  • When trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone with itunes the device does not appear int he upper right hand corner anymore

    when trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone to itunes it does not appear in the upper right hand corner under devices for me to click on

    In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
    Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
    Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.

  • Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
    This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
    What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
    Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
    Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
    Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
    Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
    Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

    I've done all of these recommended steps.  My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync.  My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3.  Any suggestions?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.
