How To Stop Backup During iPhone Sync
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.

Thank you!!! I missed going to the gym because I wanted to add some new music to jog to, but the synching too forever and the gym closed! Thanks for this, and yes, I will be sure to back up the phone at a separate time.
