How To Stop Backup During iPhone Sync.

[gillilandboy]

Many people have been complaining - including myself - about the extremely long, tedious, and annoying backup procedure during the sync from your iPhone to your iTunes.

The syncing process is actually quick on it's own - it's the backup procedure that takes ages. That being said, here's the extremely simple work around.





Simply click the X and the back up will stop. Your syncing will continue, it will just skip the back up process.

However, it's important to back up your iPhone sometimes - so don't skip it every time.

well... ya... dont mean to sound rude but that x is there for literally everything itunes does, so stopping the backup should be kind of common sense... but you could also disable the backups entirely which i fiind much easier.

Well I didn't know because with the 2.0 software it backs up all your apps and it is a real pain in the a$$ if you just want to throw a CD you just downloaded before you walk out the door. I just found that X so maybe it was just me but I find it to be VERY helpful.
