Why does finishing sync take hours?

I am using an iPad2.   Have connected it tonight and it will not finish synching.   It has been doing this for 4 hours now.  WHY?   I do not have much on the tablet so am at a loss to explain this.   Any help is much appreciated.    thank you

If it doesn't finish sync within a minute, hit the Sync button again.

  • Why does finishing syncing take hours?

    I just got an ipod touch 5 today and I am trying to set it up. I transferred my songs and now it just says finishing sync. It's been doing this for an hour or so and doesn't seem to actually be doing anything. Is finishing syncing supposed to take this long? This is my second go at this because on the first take not all my songs seem to load properly. I just got the ipod today so I shouldn't have to reset it. I am on a newish pc that runs windows 7.
    My old Ipod was a regualer ipod video 5 not a touch and it synced  fine.

  • Why does "finishing sync" take a long time

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3, connected to iMac 2010 running 10.7.5.
    I have thousands of photos in iPhoto and have been syncing with my phone without a problem.  I recently bought a Canon EOS Rebel, and synced a lot of photos in JPG mode with that camera also.
    Last night, I took a dozen photos with the Canon, then imported them to iPhoto, no problem.  But when I tried to sync with my iPhone, the new photos do not show up.  I changed the sync settings to be "3 most recent events" but I don't get the event, or sometimes I have seen the event on the phone, but there are no photos in the folder.
    Also, when syncing, iTunes shows "finishing sync" for a long time, like it is waiting for something.
    I tried making an album with my new photos, and enabling syncing of that album, but that does not work either.  Any ideas?

    Did you check your security software (firewall and anti-virus)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Why does apple tv take hours to record

    Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?

    Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
    If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.
    720P requires 6mbps for instant streaming
    1080P requires 8mbps
    You can switch to SD in the settings
    To check your connection go to speedtest.net

  • Why does ical sync 5 hours earlier than iphone

    When events on the iphone calendar transfer to ical the dates show a 5 hour difference. the imac time zone is US Central (DST) and the iphone is has automatically set the time zone when I entered Milwaukee in the clock.

    Damon's post is correct, but you don't have to disable the Time Zone to get this to work. Just set the time zone there in addition to the clock app. (I had choosen a time zone in the clock app, but the Date & Time - Time Zone value was empty and I was 'losing' 3 hours.)
    Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Time Zone -> (Enter/pick a city)
    It just works (now)!

  • Why does Apple.tv take hours to download a movie rented through iTunes

    I have rented a movie from ITunes and have changed the video resolution in iTunes Store to 720p HD but taking over 5 hours to download.  Is this normal as I am finding it very frustrating?  I have a Telstra Bigpond ADSL wireless connection.

    That would be dependent on your network
    What is the current connection via speedtest.net
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet

  • Why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have  by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why does the keyboard take over and type c's all across the search box (no hands involved)?

    Why does the keyboard take over and type c's across the search box (no hands involved)?

    There are only three possibilities. Either a dangling hand hitting the c key, or if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected and something is pressing a key, or you have some bad harware.  Eliminate the first two, and if you still have the problem, take it in for service or replacement

  • Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

    Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
    Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
    Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

    You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
    If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
    Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
    If on a computer:
    I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

  • HT1386 Why does my sync not complete?

    Why does my sync not complete after step 4 of 4 when it says "waiting for changes to be applied"?
    I have tried to sync four different iPhones including three 4S and one 5. It does not work for any of them but does not come up with any error message. There is enough room on all of the phone and I have only selected some song, albums, artists and playlists from my music to sync as to not go over the capacity.

    Do they play OK in iTunes on the computer?
    How long to they play
    Try a reset. 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.

  • Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
    You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
