iPhone Slow Sync Solution Offered
At UKMac.net, a common problem and a solution for some users of the iPhone and iPod Touch who have found syncing their iPhone is taking forever.
If you have a USB hub and are connecting your iPhone to your computer through the device, it may be that all you need to do is plug your iPhone into one of the USB ports available directly on the computer – don’t use the hub.
In the comments of the post, readers note that this sync issue fix may only work for Apple Macintosh computer users and that slowness on the Windows platform continues to persist.
Here are MyNewIphoneWorld.com, we have noticed that everytime we sync to our G4 iMac (we always sync directly), it takes a minute or two to sync and says “Backing Up Data”. Not sure why the Iphone seems to need to do a backup every time – it should be doing a sync.
Ars Technica reports that the new solution for speeding up sync is working for some users and others – not so much.
