iTunes syncing issues 4.2 GM

[macguyincali]

Well, I got to the bottom of my problem. It was a corrupt backup. I located the backup file: ~/library/application support/mobilesync and then moved it out of the folder. Then it backed up fine, after a longish backup.

I am facing similar issues - I updated my ipad to 4.2.1 on Thursday and it worked fine until then (jailbroken with resn0w). Today I wanted to sync it and it sits there since 45min and the progress is only like 20%ish

I am running Windows 7 Professional and as I said 4.2.1 jailbroken with redsn0w

What shall I do - delete the old backup files or just let it sit there for hours?

Ok to quote myself - I deleted the backups in the iTunes backup folder and after that it worked fine!

fix for upgrade to 4.2.1 hanging, backup fails

If you use a wireless connection when upgrading, syncing, or even using iTunes, it can be very slow because iTunes is always accessing the web and is very poor at recovering from the slightest signal disruption. Apple cust svc suggested using a direct connection, and it completely corrected this set of problems for me. Upgrades and syncing now are fast and finish in minutes, and iTunes loads very fast (v.s very slow with a wireless connection).

I have just registered on this forum. I have a problem with my i pad. I recently downloaded the new software to my 64, wifi/3g ipad and now I am having a problem syncing with my computer. When I connect the pad to my computer it nolonger show up in the left colum of itunes - it syncs photos but does not syn music - when I open the ipod there is a message in the centre of the screen saying Canceling Sync... and at the bottom of the screen it says Syncing. I am not sure what has happened or how to correct the problem and would appreciate any help that anyone can provide
