Upgraded to Aperture 3.1, taking forever to sync MobileMe galleries

Just upgraded to Aperture 3.1 a couple days ago. After the images in my library were updated, Aperture was taken over by attempts to sync and retrieve MobileMe gallery images.
All my MobileMe albums try to update over a DSL line and it's just crawling. Tried to just kill off the galleries, to no avail.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a work-around? Kind of crazy to have Aperture be taken over on upgrade with no possibility to simply cancel the updates.
Steve

Yes me too!
I'm losing a lot of confidence in why I pay anything for mobileme, more on that elsewhere.
Aperture / Preferences is inaccessible because when Preferences is opened it is stuck under the web tab with mobileme and the rotating disk of ****.
Activity monitor reports Aperture is not responding.
Force quit and restarted many times.
I am willing to discard mobileme all together even though I just got billed for my annual subscription to get Aperture back to normal.

    I'm trying to sync my new ipod touch and it is taking forever to sync is this normal?

    At what stage it is freezing?
    There are six steps or so.
    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    I won't tell you to reinstall Vista. How about dual booting with XP that you probably had before. Then run iTunes in XP.

    Same problem and there appears to be multitudes of us out there who are having sync problems with the latest iTunes update. You would think Tech Support would be on this.

  • IPad and iTunes taking forever to sync out of the blue

    My iPad synced in 'normal' time, just under 10 minutes, yesterday. Today, the syncing is taking forever! Appears that a completely new backup was done, and now it barely moves. I did not download anything to iPad between these syncs. I used it, charged it, and shut it down and restarted it. Any suggestions?

    HI...
    In the iTunes window with the Summary tab selected, check the bottom of that window to make sure there's enough free space available.
    If there's enough space, check out the information here for managing content manually.

  • IPhone 4S taking forever to sync after iOS 7 update

    My iPhone 4S is taking forever to completely sync the back up after updating to the new iOS 7 operating system. It's stuck in step 6 of 6 'waiting for items to copy'. Please help!

    I was having this same problem with iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS 7 and iTunes.  It was just taking forever on the 'waiting for items to copy' step.
    I disabled Genius on my iTunes setup, and immediately it resumed and completed that step.  Seems like it was waiting for Genius results that weren't there, or weren't available.
    I have a large iTunes library and still like to manually manage the music on my iPhone.
    I guess I'll live without Genius until Apple can fix this.
    iTunes Genius can cause manual sync of music to iPhone to hang for a long time.

  • Sending Genius info to Apple after upgrade to version 10.2 - taking forever

    I updated to version 10.2 yesterday. This morning I found that it was sending Genius information to Apple (my iMac is on 24/7) - it has been doing this now for at least 4.5 hours.
    I do have a very large library that is made up mostly of movies (783) and TV programmes (1446 episodes) - in fact my iTunes library is on a Drobo and currently stands at 2.79TB. Still, what info could it be sending that would take so long? Or, is it simply stuck in a never ending loop?

    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.

  • Taking FOREVER to sync contacts and calendar with 3G, Itunes8, Leopard

    I recently switched from the original iPhone to the 3G model. No problems. Happy with the phone. I also recently "upgraded" to iTunes 8.0. Not happy.
    I have about 500 contacts on my computer (running iCal and MS Entourage) and hundreds of appointments in my calendar. It used to take maybe 10 min to sync my phone and macbook pro. now it has been running 45 min and is STILL synching the calendar.
    what the heck is going on? anyone else having this problem? Also, I recently (yesterday) upgraded to 10.5.5 but this was happening on 10.5.4 also.
    I'm stumped, and I haven't got time to look at this stupid "synch" message all day.
    thanks
    dc

    Any way I can sync contacts and calendar between the imac and laptop on the same home network without using icloud
    Not unless you upgrade the iMac to Lion v10.7.2 first.

  • Nano taking forever to sync

    I plugged in my brand new Nano last night, and after 8 hours it had only synced one song out of 2500. I don't have eight years to wait for this process. What's wrong?

    Many people have been experiencing sync issues since upgrading to 7, and it's not just a mini problem (my own 30gb 5G is slower than it was. Have you been able to complete a full sync yet? If not, the first is always the longest so it might be worth having a little patience and leaving it for a while (mine took ~1.5 hours, it's now down to 4-5 minutes). If not have you tried reinstalling iTunes?

  • IPhone taking FOREVER to sync !

    I understand that there are a lot of threads on this subject, but come on ! I synced everything except music to see if it helps. Then when I start to sync, it takes approximately 25- 30 seconds per song to sync. They are MP3's ! I used to put 1,000 songs on an old mp3 player in just a few minutes. At this rate, to put my approx. 1,200 songs that I want on my iPhone,,,,,will take hours. This is nuts.

    The solution to the iPhone sync problems is actually quite simple. The problem cause long sync times is that you have data in the iPhone. This includes Pod-casts, Music, Apps and the like. All you need to do is delete all of this stuff and the iphone will sync immediately

  • Photos taking Forever to syncing

    I have the Iphone 4 and the lastest version update 5.1.1
    Okay I just resore my phone about 2 hours ago or so and i have everything back except MOST of my photos. I am really frustrated right now because i had over 1,000 photos and only 47 were synced but the rest arent. Why is it doing this?

    Hide your Libraries in a (temporary) new folder, then launch FCP X. If it creates a new Library, and launches OK, you probably have corrupted media or render files in one or more existing Libraries.
    Quit the application, and drag one Library back to its original position and launch FCP X again. If that opens, repeat the process until you find the faulty Library.
    If FCP X doesn't launch when there are no existing Libraries, Uninstall it following Apple's instructions and reinstall it from the App Store (using the same login that the app was bought with).

    Also, seperate note - how do I add a movie project from one library to another library?
    You can COPY a Project to an Event in another Library by clicking on the Project and dragging it, or you can MOVE the Project to an Event in another Library by dragging (as above) but pressing the Cmd button a moment before you release the mouse to drop the Project into the new Event.
    When you release the mouse, a window will appear telling you what's going to happen - if it's not what you want, you did it wrong.

  • Calendar Sync Taking Forever (iCal)

    I'm trying to sync my iCal calendars and its taking forever to sync. I left it running for several hours and it did not stop. I fear burning the green battery in on my new iPhone's screen so I've stopped the sync several times.
    I tried it on my other computer (overwriting the old information) and it worked fine. On my powerbook I can't seem to get it to work.
    Could it be a problem with iCal? Is there any reset options in iCal or iLife that might help me? It's only my calendars. Contact, Bookmarks and email sync with no problem.
    Thanks in advance

    I experienced this problem as well, and after looking at various potential fixes, I found that I had to delete certain .plist files to make the sync function work again. This is a problem that the casual user should not have to address, and something that Apple will probably address (at least I hope) shortly.
    I'm up and running again, but I do note that my troubles didn't appear until I subscribed to some calendars off of the internet. I'm not going to do that again until this issue has been resovled. There are some other threads on this board that address the specific .plist files, so I'd go there first. If you don't understand what that post tells you to do, then I'd stay away from the fix.
