Sync Speed SO slow
Got new ipod touch last night ...
Plugged it in at 6pm, was finally syncd at 7:40pm.... 1 hour 40 mins to sync 14Gb!
Anyone else notice this?
Also... my itunes seems to really struggle while doing so ... when syncing with 5G ipod its fine and seems so much quicker ... was a little surprised

my 3rd gen 4 gig nano synced about 3.25GB of music in about 30 seconds. so the nanos aren't slow, at least mine isn't.

The USB2.0 standard could only transfer an absolute MAX of about 1.8Gb in 30 seconds ... but thats being majorly optimistic ... more like about 1.2Gb

Try syncing the same amount of music between a hard drive based iPod and a flash based drive such as the Touch or iPhone. The hard drive based will load 14GB in a very short time. I believe it took my 30 GB Photo about 15 minutes last week. My new 160GB classic loaded 32 GB in less then an hour.

Flash has its drawbacks, but so do the hard drive units.

Look at the Touch review- its transfer times are significantly slower than even the Nanos.
Both the Touch and iPhone are slow, MAYBE this can be improved in an update...

There’s another issue with touch’s flash storage; it takes a comparatively long time to fill and re-fill. It took 17 minutes and 15 seconds to transfer our standard 5GB test playlist to the iPod touch in our first test—so long that we ran it again, and saw the time drop only by one minute. This same test took under 6 minutes on the 80GB iPod classic, under 8 minutes on the 160GB iPod classic, and 8 and a half minutes on the iPod nano. iPod touch took about twice as long to transfer the same files as the nano; it was roughly as slow as the iPhone.
