iPhone 4s Sync Taking Too Long

So for the last little while, my iPhone 4s has been taking forever to sync with iTunes. Anywhere between 2-3 hours, and I know that this isn’t normal, because others have been able to sync their phones within a few minutes.

Has anyone had this problem, and if so, what has been your solution? It’s getting pretty frustrating having to wait hours just to add a few songs to my phone. I’ve tried looking for a remedy online, but nothing seems to be working.

Also, I’ve noticed that sometimes it just tends to freeze while it’s backing up. Just doesn’t get past that.

Any help would be great, otherwise I’ll be stuck listening to gasp the radio.

If you have five six hundred songs and/or videos, then it's normal.

Try syncing something small in size like contacts and or calendar(if Apple the great lets you,not an apple fan & user so I am not sure) and see if it still takes longer to finish. That way u will know if it's phone,iTunes or PC you are using.

What if you unselect music and applications and then sync. Hope you have apple certified cable as well

Re: iPhone 4s Sync Taking Too Long

Yep. Check the cable to make sure it works. Also, try checking without the music. I had about 7 GB of music on my 4S and it took time to sync.

Re: iPhone 4s Sync Taking Too Long

thanks for the ideas folks. i'll try syncing only certain things, and see if that makes a difference.
and yes, my cable is fine :)

tlk - i've got about 400 songs, but it shouldn't mean that anytime i want to add a few songs to my playlist, that i have to wait over an hour to do so.
