Why does it take so long to sync my iphone?

I am syncing my iphone and it takes mad long when syncing the bookmarks, what are the bookmark? why do it take this long?

8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time. What should I do next besides wait?

Why does it take so long to sync my music to my iphone 5s

Hello All
I have an iPhone 5s with 16 gigs. I use a PC with Windows 7 home Premium. All software (iTunes) and operating systems are at the latest versions, I update whenever prompted. My problem is it takes FOREVER to sync music with my iPhone. One song can take 15 to 30 minutes or more. I dig out an old iPod nano and that synched the music in no time at all. I am at a loss as to why this takes so long. Can anyone help me?

I have this aggravating issue as well, only I just have an iPhone 4s 16GB (yes, STILL!). One of the (many) reasons I haven't upgraded is the deteriorating performance factors induced by Apple. If it takes forever to sync just a 16GB iPhone, syncing a 64GB or 128GB iPhone must be an all day test of aggravation! Since I'm finding no credible or relevant answers here I thought I'd post my observations. When I watch the sync process, I can see that the procedure backs up my iPhone data, removes it from the phone, then reinstalls it again with any updates to the data since the last sync. This is a programming "feature". I don't know what the reasons are for not designing the sync process to handle only changed data as in any other data backup process. Maybe it's laziness at Apple, maybe it's a technical issue that their programmers are incapable of solving, or maybe there's a monitoring aspect involved that this method allows Apple to collect information on users more effectively. I just don't know their reasons for this, or many baffling things they do. I do know that if their corporate data backups were performed in the same manner in which the iPhone sync is performed, there would never be a break in the backup processes at Apple, nor would the process ever complete. It's ludicrous to program the SW (iTunes) run this inefficiently. I can't fathom having a larger capacity iPhone and dealing with the constant aggravation of what must be hours to sync simple data changes caused only by the poor routine programmed into iTunes. From what I can see, it's basically like loading a blank phone every time I want to sync data. Completely ridiculous as far as I can tell. Even if the reasoning is to remove dead sectors, blank sectors etc, I'd think with all the money Apple has and makes on a quarterly basis, they could afford to spend the time and money in R&D to make the sync process a **** of lot more tolerable for users.

Why does it take SO long to synchronize my iphone with my macbook pro

Hi fellow users,
It takes unbelievable long for my iPhone 4S to synchronise with my MacBook Pro. Happens everytime.
I started the synch early yesterday evening (19:00). It is now 10:35 the following day and it is still not finished.
Has anyone any ideas?
Have a great day Desmond, a Brit living in Germany.

Why does it take so long to sync email?

I mean, if an email comes and I read it on my PC then that should make it as "it is already read in my z10" too. But this takes around 15-20 minutes to sync up, does anyone face this ?

Gmail can at times be almost instant but not always.
As mentioned above, Exchange Active Sync (EAS) accounts are normally very instant to sync. Your gmail is likely an IMAP account and slower.

Why does it take so long to update my iphone?

Every time i try and update my iphone 3 it takes like 3 hours and then my internet is timed out can any one advise me on this?

Yes. The reason for this is when you update your iPhone iTunes automatically makes a backup of all your settings. To try and cut down on this long backup time switch your phone on airplane mode as this will make iTunes not backup your network settings which is what is taking up so much time.

Why does it take a long time to back up my iPhone?

My iPhone is taking forever to backup. Whenever I pluf it in and it starts to back up it seems to stay on the screen in my iTunes and the bar doesn't move at all. I need help. What should I do?

Extraordinary long backups are caused by an error when an app (or apps) was installed or updated, particularly if you have ever installed or updated using the App Store on the device itself rather than iTunes. Even if you were never aware that there was a problem, they can arise and will cause problems with the backup process. Maybe you did have a problem during an update or install. Maybe the update stalled, or the App Store crashed. These issues are very likely what have been causing your long backups and you didn't even know it. During the backup process these errors cause it to drag and pause for a very long time before it gets moving again. From your view, you just see a normal backup that is taking hours, and undoubtedly annoying you to no end. On the inside, iTunes is trying desperately to get past a roadblock that it doesn't know where it came from.

Why does it take so long to import a CD onto iTunes?

Whenever I try to import CDs onto iTunes, I literally have to let it import overnight before an album is finished. I thought it might be a hardware problem, so I got an external disk drive for my laptop. It didn't make any difference. Why does iTunes take so long, and is there any way to import/rip CDs faster?

sorrry i dont buy that whole firewall issue. it just doesn't make sense. no disrespect. please I have an issue where I downloaded a cd. Published it and all of the songs except for the one that i had unchecked and another one all synced to Itunes. why did that one song (Al Green "For the Good Times" not be accepted yet it is on the interface of Itunes but by itself and the only way I can play it is if I click on the file on the right that says "untitled playlist". go figure. not to dog out your issue if someone could help me out with this problem it would be helpful. thanks mike.

What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!

What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
Chime in.

The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING! Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL. I can't. But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support". These are very valid comments. But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL. In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users. Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost? That's up for individuals to decide.
I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

Why does it take so long to recognize my camera?

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XS. When I plug it in, iPhoto jumps up and is in front on the screen, as it should, but then it takes 8 or 10 minutes for it to be identified and booted up into the sidebar. I just watch the wheels turn and the red light flicker, but it takes EIGHT or MORE minutes to be recognized!! And, sometimes the camera times itself out. Here is my question . . . WHY WHY WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO BE RECOGNIZED?!?!?!!? I could deal with 30 seconds, but this is just ridiculous. Is this a Canon issue? A driver issue? Heaven forbid, an Apple issue? Does anybody have any insight on this or the same kind of experience?
Mike

Next time you import reformat the card with the Camera - remember this will erase the card, so make sure you've emptied it first. Oh, and the use of block capitals is very impressive. Doesn't make it look like a tantrum at all.

On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

Why does it take so long to download movies

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Why does it take so long to upload? Am I doing something wrong?

At the moment it takes a few hours(!) to upload about ten pages on one site. Just pictures. iPhoto used to publish within five minutes. Why does it take so long? Am I doing something wrong, like having it on a weird setting? It looks beautiful, but not very impressed with iWeb functionality as of yet.

don't know if i can downgrade the file sizes, am just selecting the photos in iphoto and then clicking iweb so it should do it automatically. it shouldn't take hours though should it? the site address is web.mac.com/adilamin/iWeb but there is no problem with accessing the site and loading the pics, its just the uploading from iWeb.

Why does it take so long to delivery?!

Ordered my Macbook pro today. Dispatch date for the whole order is 1-3 business days. Delivery estimate is 19th - 23rd January (today is the 31st December!!) so why does it take so long for the courier to deliver?? That's over 3 weeks away and a long time between dispatch and delivery!

I'm lucky enough there is one in Southampton where I live and there are two in Bristol where I study so I could easily go and pick one up! Infact I think there is a store within an hours drive of anyone in the UK now, plus there are official Apple stalls (with Apple staff and Genius bar) in most electronic superstores. So not too hard to find!
However, the issue is that I'll be paying for my Pro through finance (Barclays in the UK) so I don't really want to have to cancel that as they do a credit check on you and I'm afraid applying for finance again would affect my rating so I'm not too keen on doing that.
And before any of you suggest it, my finance has already been approved and Barclays will credit Apple within one business day (Tuesday, after the New Year public holiday on Monday) so this is not a reason for the delivery to be slowed up.
Out of interest I went onto the store again and added all my items to the basket. I ordered a MacBook Pro (standard 2.4 GHz 500GB model), Microsoft Office for Mac and Apple Care under university pricing and the delivery estimate was for the 4th January. So I'm wondering what could have possibly delayed my order!!
