Why does my iPad suddenly take a while to sync

[dog352]

It used to sync everything in minutes. Now, when I sync, it usually takes more than ten minutes even though there aren't any new files to transfer. Anybody else having the same issue?

The more new content you get (either on the iPad or the comupter) the longer it takes!

Backups are happening pretty slowly. Another problem that used to exist on the iPhone but was fixed. Hope they fix this soon.

Plus, sometimes there is a noticeable delay before backup/sync phases start.

Are you syncing any photos? I've found that turning off photo syncing speeds things up considerably. When you uncheck "sync photos" you are asked if you want to delete photos or keep them on iPad. Say you want to keep them. Then turn syncing back on when you want to update your photos, and turn it off again for regular use.

My backups can be really slow (one was 15 minutes), but the actual sync part is about as fast as syncing and iPhone or iPod.

This happened to me after I put several hundred MBs of comics on it with ComicZeal sync.

Only tried to sync once and h8 it. Couldn't sync on my main sync comp that i sync my iphone wth(macbook pro), because of OS.

I will not be syncing any pictures or video to my ipad. Hopefully their will be a better way in the future.

You can just cancel the backup if you want to.

Ah..the suggestion with the photos helped. Now, it syncs in seconds.

You could just cancel the backup, but that isn't wise all the time in my experience. This happened to me with my Touch, and if I don't hook up to my computer at least once every couple days it takes a long time. I'm sure this problem will be remedied with the next set of bug fixes.
