Long Backup During Sync Ruining

Jun 15, 2010

I have tried all solutions recommended by my esteemed fellow Apple support forum members and have somewhat mitigated the length it takes to sync my iPad but why should I have to delete apps etc in order to successfully sync???Waiting and waiting is killing me (yeah I know...impatient) but this is crazy... One sync took over an hour to get just half way before I quit...

Sync Takes Long Time To Take Backup

Jul 10, 2010

My Ipad takes at least 15 minutes to back up and sync everytime I plug it into the computer and I only have about 5 gigs on it. Is there a solution to this, 90% of the time is spent on back up, can I turn that off?

Takes Long Time For Sync

Nov 15, 2010

If I cancel the backup at the start of sync it takes about 2 mins. I've tried to get a backup of the iPad 3G 64GB and so far its taken 2 days. 12 hours each day and still It says its only about 10% though it.WHY is the backup taking so long? Previously when it did the backup it synced in about 5 mins. If I cancel the backup for any reason the next time it takes 24 hours at least to backup.Will the next iTunes and iOS4.2 fix the SLOW backups? If not then give me a good reason to update.I had to run the hack to disable backups at sync so it syncs in about 2-3 mins even when adding videos and bigger apps.

Long Sync Causing The Damaging ?

Oct 6, 2010

I've had troubles syncing my iPad to my XP comp since the beginning, but lately he seems to have taken the tendency to take hours to preform the first step of the sync. There are anywhere between 3 and 6 steps when I sync up (depending on what I've added/changed), but always the first one is "Backing up". This is the one that can easily take over an hour to complete, the other ones usually last minutes if not seconds (unless I add a good couple hundred songs/pictures, which I don't really do anymore).

If my computer ups and dies it's not going to be a big deal (it was given to me, I never even payed anything for it). But all in all I've invested over 900$ into my Pad, and if there's any chance that this is damaging it I'd like to know. If it means going without any new apps or songs until I get my next computer, I can live with that.

Sync Takes Very Long Time

May 7, 2010

This is not really a new topic. Many people reported the same problem. But I have searched and searched through the forum and I do not think I have an answer.

I have a total of about 30G of contents to sync to the iPad including music, videos and photos. One would think only the changed files should be copied, but it seems like all the files are being copied over every time a sync is performed.

I am suspecting this because I do two sync's consecutively, without even touching the iPad no definitely no changes were made, the same amount of time is required to complete the sync.

Anyone has a solution yet? This is pretty annoying

Takes A Long Time To Charge / Sync On Old Computers

May 21, 2010

I've heard a lot of comments that the ipad takes a long time to charge on old computers. I was wondering if my eMac 1.25 ghz would be able to sync with the ipad. Not too bothered about charging since I'll just use the wall charger but I am bothered about getting my stuff onto the device.

Non-sync Backup

Jun 5, 2010

Hi, ok maybe a stupid question, but here goes. I never use my computer anymore. I do fine with my iPad and my iTouch. Not only that but I don't even want to use my computer! It's slow, etc. Anyway I bought a subscription to Mobile Me thinking I could use that as a backup alternate to syncing on my computer but now I find that Mobile Me doesn' really act like a backup, won't store some things like Pages documents unless I email them to myself, etc.

So my question is , what alternative, if any, is there to my old, clunky computer with iTunes on it can I use as a type of cloud or other backup location for my iPad, or any hardware available? I hate using my computer anymore. Thanks

Sync Backup Too Slow

Apr 15, 2010

I'm on my second unit now. I have about 15 gigs of data on mine. I started the backup last night at 9:30 PM, it's now 5:15 AM and the backup is less than 50% complete. I'll try it on a different machine tonight (this one is Vista Ultimate 64-bit), but I had the same problem with my original iPad on three different boxes (two PC, one Mac). I've got about 2.5 gigs of music, 9 gigs of comic books in ComicZeal, and 3 gigs in Apps (mostly PDFs for PDFReader HD).

How To Make And Do Sync/backup?

Nov 28, 2010

I have had the iPad for a few months now. Today I read that ios 4.2 was out, so attempted to connect it to my Mac for the first time to carry out the upgrade (until now I've been content to download Apps through the Apps store and all has been fine)Anyway to cut a long story short after connecting to iTunes the Apps have transferred over to my library fine, but on attempting the upgrade it just sits at Backing up.... for hours with the status bar about 5% complete and never moving.any ideas welcome

Sync Or Backup Is Slow?

Apr 10, 2010

I'm not sure if the sync is slow or if the backup is slow. Ipad says "Sync in Progress", but Itunes says "Backing up iPad.

Apps on the iPad include a free calculator, Amazon.com's Kindle for Iphone/iPad, Barnes and Noble ereader for Iphone, Ibooks ap, and the aps that came preloaded with the iPad.

SYNC appeared to take only a few seconds, but BACKUP has been going for three hours, and the backup status bar at the top of iTunes is creeping along. Right now it indicates the backup is about 1/3 complete.

Should sync/backup take this long for the iPad? If not, what can be done to correct it?

It's Backup & Sync Diagram

May 9, 2012

As a iPad owner, to understand the ins & outs of backup & sync, I created a diagram, using a fixed-width font, with Textedit.It can't be posted here of course, it gets messed up without a fixed-width font. Hopefully I've attached a screen-capture png of most of it. I'd be very glad to hear of any errors & omissions!

Restore From Backup Or Sync?

Oct 17, 2011

What's the difference between syncing and restore from backup? i upgraded to iOS5 but i want to restore all the apps(games) and their respective settings, but when i click on 'Restore from Backup' iTunes says that it will only restore "contacts, calendars and notes", it doesn't say anything about restoring apps and their settings. And when i click on 'Sync Apps' iTunes says that it will delete all apps and stuff from the iPad 2 and i don't know if syncing restores all the apps with their respective settings.

Sync To Iphone Backup?

Jun 10, 2011

My question is should I sync it to my iPhone backup so it loads with all my iPhone stuff and then take of any stuff I don't want on it. Or from scratch and select stuff for it, by doing that it won't mess up my iPhone apps will it ? Will iTunes control two different selections of apps for the different devices. I have never had two devices on iTunes before.

How To Make A Fast Backup/Sync?

Dec 6, 2010

I've seen a number of posts here about extremely slow backup/sync speeds and may have stumbled across the answer in one of them. I'm posting this in hopes of saving people with similar issues time when searching (and because I can't bring myself to post a "this worked for me" response to all of the threads I found on the issue).My iPad seemed to be taking forever to backup and sync. It would eventually finish, but it was a go make myself a pot of coffee while it updates the 2 podcasts that are new kind of thing. Really irritating.
I didn't realize that I had been using the sync cable that came with my 1st Gen iPhone. It's universal,right?Apparently, not. When I swapped out the old cable with the new one, it flew through the sync. How to tell the difference (at least on mine): The USB connector on the old one has sharp corners. The corners on the new one are rounded. That's the only difference I can see, but it made all the difference in the world.

4.02 Requiring Backup Ability To Sync

Nov 22, 2010

I have left my ipad plugged into my macbook for over 8 hours and have never gotten beyond 1/3 done with a backup. I just deleted the Zinio app based on some other feedback I saw and am hoping that helps. The big issue is for the upgrade to take place - It seems to want to run a backup after downloading the software and prepping to install. It then disconnects and says the backup is not working really?? Unreal I hope deletion of the Zinio app helps speed it up....any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Bout ready to turn this thing into a frisbee
