How long are the clips, and how many of them? Do they have audio? What settings are you using for synchronization?
You should not wait hours for this, but seconds if that.
If all the clips have audio, Final Cut will use the wave forms to sync "automatically". If one camera shot clips without audio, you have to use another syncing method.
Assigning camera angles to the clips isn't required (according to Apple) but I have found it's a big help. That is done in the Inspector. Select all of the clips from a given camera and assign some identifier (numeric or alpha).
As Luis said, the process should be pretty quick – even if there are multiple formats and gaps in the recordings.

i have 3 cameras to it rec 30-40 mins film time yes they have audio and i been trying to work on this all week
Does FCP X otherwise perform normally on your mac? Just the multicam creation that is slow?
What format are the clips? Do they all have the same frame rate? Audio rate?
You may also try to provide a little hint to help to FCP X: add a marker to each clip, *roughly* at a point where they should sync - you don't have to nail an exact position. In the multicam creation there is an option to sync by marker. Turn that on and leave the audio on too. Let it try to sync for a few minutes.
If it does not work, it try without the audio.
A week? Something is definitely wrong.
Should have asked this earlier. Is this your first multicam project? If it is, take a look atthis. It's using an older version, but the same basic workflow for that version still applies.
If you have had good results in the past with multicam projects, please provide more info on the type of media you're using, what type of cameras you used., and whether you optimized the media. Also post a couple of screen shots: of your clip browser and of the Info pane of the Inspector (with the Inspector set to Extended).

everything els works great and i have had this mac and software for a little over a year i produce every week iam just confused why its acting like this
Multicam for me is completely broken in 10.2. I select two clips within an event, right click, select Multicam, synched by audio and get a file that only opens in the Angle editor, not the timeline. When i do open it in the Angle Editor, the two clips are listed in sequence; not as choosable multiclips in a Multicam.
DDid you assign camera angle numbers to each shot if they're not supposed to be sequential. The default is to use create angles using camera name.
Actually. what I was trying to determine was whether the multicam syncing had worked for you in the past.

i have talked with apple and come to find out the issue was one of My cameras (Canon hf r20) was not supported for the software it was formatted in mts not mp4 so i changed it thru handbreak and before i tried to sync the mts and the mp4 all in the multi cam and it was just not reading it that it why it took for ever so thank you all for helping me to fix this i hope this will help other
Yeah, it had worked before and, with some further tinkering, it's working now. The problem turned out to be I had to help FCP by making sure the different camera angles and camera names were properly labeled in the metadata.
