Windows 8 and i-tunes importing speeds

I have windows 8 when importing music into itunes the dvd player only runs about 3x speed and only about 3% of time it does hit speeds of 30x. Like to know if its problems with my dvd,win 8 or itunes. can anyone help. Its painful to music in.

iTunes in Windows 8 Consumer Preview does work. If you experience any abnormal lag or behavior, you'll just need to enable compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and administrator privileges for iTunes.exe.
Default installation locations, where you'll find "iTunes.exe":
32bit - C:\Program Files\iTunes
64bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
Hope this helped!

How can I have exact same tag information in Windows and i-Tunes???

When I check the "properties" of my mp3 files in Windows I don't see the same information as when I click "get info" in i-Tunes. I've tried "convert ID3 tags" in i-Tunes, but it all just gets very complicated... Please, please help!!!

I have a similar issue using iTunes.
I use both Media Monkey and Adio Tags Editor to tag my mp3s and all my music is tagged correctly, 'NAME' has the Track name and 'ARTIST' has the Artists name etc.
When I import my music into iTunes the Track name info is all correct, however, The 'ARTIST' info comes up as 'Various' and this only happens for the compilations. Is this a known issue?, I am still using iTunes 6.0.0.8
Again, in Winamp, MediaPlayer etc the tags are correct. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Editing a song using Windows and i-tunes

I am a new i-pod user and I was wondering if there is a program with i-tunes and Windows that would allow me to edit/delete portions of a song that I have purchased from i-tunes. I am a teacher and I need just a verse of a song rather than the complete song. I would appreciate any help and advice.

iTunes songs are copy protected AAC (MP4) format. However if you burn the song to Audio CD in iTunes you and import it back as an MP3 you'll be able to edit it like any normal file: How To Choose Import Settings
You can edit the MP3 file with this free open source audio editor: Audacity

HT5070 i recently had a friend update my windows and the most important part of my laptop is my ITunes & when i went on ITunes all of my songs have been deleted there has to be a way to get them back in my library? what do i do to get them back? I paid i

aI paid a small fortune to have a very big Music Library and all of my songs are gone? How do i get them back? There has to be some way to have over 2000 + songs put back into my own Library how do i do that?

What exactly did your friend do ? Did you or he take a backup of your iTunes library before updating your computer ? Have you checked to see if your music is still on your computer ? By default your iTunes library is stored under :
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
If not then do you have a copy of your library on a backup ? If you do then use File > Add To Library to add it back.
If you haven't got a backup then you might, depending upon what country that you are in and if the music is still in your country's store, be able to redownload your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

I'm using Windows 8. I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos. When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section. what up?

Im using Win8. I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library. This imported into iTunes movies with no issue. I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos. I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted. Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies. And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?. What is going on here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.

I have just downloaded itunes on windows 7 and am getting error r6034 and i tunes wont startr

I have just downloaded itunes on my desktop. it refuses to open and displays error R6034.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

To import all songs on the CD, click Yes in the window that appears. iTunes starts importing the CD.---I am using a Dell and can't import the CD I need because the window doesn't automatically pop up. How do I fix this? Any thoughts?

You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

Windows and icons are black, menu items are not showing correctly

Hello!
Well just doing my normal routine today browsing the Internet, watching videos on vlc, my computer suddenly started to glitch. Icons were disappearing, Safari turned black.
So i did a restart but the problem is still there. I cant even choose the user properly because the avatars are not there it's just all dark gray. Remembering where my user avatar is, i do a click and type in my password and I do and able to get in to my system but all windows menu items and icons are black.
Basically what I'm saying is the system seems to be working fine except for that I can't see the icons and windows properly displayed.
I've already tried to reinstall of Mavericks hoping that it's a software thing. You guys think it's a problem with the graphic processor?
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated thank you.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as certain other aspects of the configuration that may have a bearing on the problem. Don’t be alarmed by the apparent complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode, if possible. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. If you can only boot in safe mode, you can still use this procedure, but not all of it will work. Be sure to mention that in your reply, if you haven't already done so.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. The commands are safe and do nothing but produce human-readable text output, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. I am not asking you to trust me. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
{ echo "Loaded kernel extensions:"; kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'; echo $'\n'"Loaded user agents:"; launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'; echo $'\n'"Inserted libraries:"; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo $'\n'"User cron tasks:"; crontab -l; echo $'\n'"System launchd configuration:"; cat /e*/lau*; echo $'\n'"User launchd configuration:"; cat .lau*; echo $'\n'"Login items:"; osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | sed $'s/, /\\\n/g'; echo $'\n'"Safari extensions:"; /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist | awk -F'= ' '/Bundl/{print $2}' | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; printf "\nRestricted user files: %s\n" $(find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ | wc -l); echo $'\n'"Extrinsic loadable bundles:"; cd; find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist" | egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID" && echo ${d%/Contents}; done; echo $'\n'"Unsigned shared libraries:"; find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b $1 | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v $1' {} {} \; -print; echo; ls -A {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}* L*/Fonts; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A TextEdit window will open with the output. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
{ echo "Loaded system agents:"; sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo $'\n'"Login hook:"; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo $'\n'"Root cron tasks:"; sudo crontab -l; echo $'\n'"Log check:"; syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal.
To prevent confusion, I'll repeat: When you type your password in the Terminal window, you won't see what you're typing.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
Important: If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of these commands, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
Remember, Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output as text, not as a screenshot.
Please post the contents of the TextEdit window, not the Terminal window.

Slow memory card raw import speed (~20MB/s with USB3.0)?

Hi all,
For a long time now, I have been experiencing painfully slow (copy) import speed from memory cards to Lightroom.
For example, importing a fast CF card full of Canon 1D mark4 raw (cr2) photos yields a raw transfer speed of about 18 MB/s . This is ridiculously slow, considering that I'm using 90MB/s rated cards with USB3.0 reader in USB3.0 bus. With that speed, copying one full 16GB card takes over 15 minutes. That really doesn't feel like modern computing to me.
With Blackmagic Disk Speed Test the same device gives read rate of 60MB/s. Dragging and dropping the folder of all raw files in Finder takes about 4 minutes, which corresponds to the Disk Speed Test rating. CPU usage is around 8-10% during import, and standard preview rendering does not start until completing the import. I've also tried the same thing with Thunderbolt-FW800 adapter connected to Delock CF card reader and have pretty much the same results.
Does anyone have similar issues or am I the only one suffering from low transfer speed?
I'm guessing that Lightroom has some ancient algorithms for handling the file copying instead of accessing the memory card with the system file transfer.
Example:
Memory card: Sandisk Extreme Pro 16GB, nominal speed 90MB/s
Reader: Lexar Professional USB 3.0 CF+SD reader
Computer: Macbook Pro Retina 13 2012, 256 ssd
Lightroom 4.3

Thanks for the comment Matulaitis.
I find it rather silly that getting new photos into Lightroom in the first place is painfully slow.
But that's not a problem major enough to be fixed asap by Adobe, I would guess.
Matulaitis wrote:
I finally gave up importing directly into Lightroom due to slow speed and stalling/failing import issues.
Now I copy the files from the card to the folder using another software utility, then synch the new stuff into the catalog. This works without problems, all same hardware.
LR 5, Windows 7 64bit, USB 3, tried many card readers, different USB ports, separate USB 3 card, none helped Lightroom. This is not a new problem, has been present through various versions of LR, though 5 is the worst in this regard for me.
LR would usually work ok for a few files, but almost never has been reliable for a lot of files (say 1000-1500 new files).

Inexplicably slow importing speeds with iTunes 7.0.1 lead to suicide...

Or they will any minute now. Tom ake things worse, for a brief moment, I was back to importing at around 3.5x, my average speed before iTunes 7 (though for some reason using lossless before iTunes 7 gave me an average of 12x). But the glory did not last. I'm back to 0.1x and so I am now considering ending it all before it gets any worse. Thanks apple for giving and then suddenly taking it all away...

I have had the same issue. Which didn't begin until I upgraded from itunes 6.x to 7.x.
I also upgraded as mentioned.
Read/import speeds went from as high as 11x on 6.x to less than 1x! It took 9 hours to import a 55 minute CD.
