Windows 7 IPhone and IPod syncing is painfully slow on Windows 7

[mike.main]

Hey All,

Ever since I installed Windows 7 on my machine, syncing my IPhone has been painfully slow.

At first I thought maybe there was a driver I need to install (thinking maybe it was reverted back to USB 1.0 by default) but I found out I had USB 2.0

The thing is, when I sync, it starts with the desired speed (USB 2.0) but then it pauses for about 10 seconds then it continues at the USB2.0 speed and so on. Then I thought maybe it's ITunes so I used MediaMonkey (the latest version supports IPhones) and it did as bad.

Note that it can't be the IPhone itself because I tried syncing with the same media managers (ITunes and MediaMonkey) on a Windows XP box and it performed as expected (fast at USB2.0 speeds).

Any help would be great

sounds strange. I don't experience problems with my iphone under 7, but I havn't done a full sync yet so ... .
But in the end, is it really that bad? I mean you sync once, it takes a while and after that you just sync only a few files if any.

you are sure to run the latest version of itunes? and the latest iphone firmware? sync speed on windows has improved a lot with the latest updates.
