Hey all....I'm wondering why when I sync my iPad to my mbp it take so long? I find when I change out my playlists or change out some apps it takes a really long time to sync (45+ min) At first I used USB the switched to wireless but I find both are slow. Am I doing something wrong? I manage my playlist manually, which I sync two or three with average 100 songs. I also have 68 apps installed as well. Thank you in advance for help!

The iPad may be set to make a backup to your computer each time you sync it. That would definitely slow things down.

If you're an iCloud member, you may want to consider switching that to iCloud backup.
