7.0.2 so slow to select songs I can't edit my library

I'm using 7.0.2 for Windows. I have a pretty large Library (close to 30GB) and I'm trying to trim it down, but I can't seem to select more than two or three songs at once. I click a song, hold shift, then click maybe 10 songs down, and my computer freezes for 5 or 10 seconds and then recovers, with only the last song selected. I'm also getting the slowness and skipping issues other people have mentioned, but this issue is the intolerable one.
I'm basically a Mac loyalist -- I have two at home, plus an iPod and a shuffle -- but I have to use Windows at work, and the dismal performance of iTunes for Windows has driven me to check into alternative mp3 jukebox software to use at work. I'd love to keep using iTunes, because I do think it's the best UI out there (a one-eyed king in the land of the blind), but I can't unless I find a way around this.

Thank you so much for your patient guidance and screen captures.
You are welcome.
My external hard drive is properly formatted for Aperture, so I am currently copying my Aperture library to it. That will take hours since it is copying 101 GB.
o.k.
I understand that I need to clean some space on my internal hard drive and reformat the Aperture library to get back in operation.
You need to upgrade the Aperture library to be used with Aperture 3.5.1. That will happen automatically, when you first double click the copied lirary to open it in Aperture.
I'll also need to back up my external drive with a new external drive if I make space on my internal drive by removing some photos from there and store them on my current external drive.
What do you use for backup? If you are using TimeMachine it is better to have only the Time Machine backup on the Time Machine drive . In that case would I put the Aperture library and other data on a new drive and keep the old drive for backup.

Develop mode says 'no photo selected', so I can't edit anything.

After importing photos into LR4 I select one and hit the develop button and then the screen shows 'no photo selected.' So I can't edit anything. The ruler where images usually are in develop mode, below the main image window doesn't show any images either. I found that if I select an image in 'library' mode then click on 'book' mode and back to 'develop' mode, then the image appears and allows me to edit it. I don't get it. Is there are different way to access photos, am I doing something wrong?

You should be able to select a photo in Library and go straight to Develop. Anything else isn't normal behaviour. Don't have a straight answer as to why it would be otherwise. Are you rendering previews on Import? Is the drive fast?

Is there a Maximum number of songs you can have in iTunes library?

I have reached what I believe to be the Maximum number of songs that iTunes will allow. That number is 37,562 songs. Since reaching this plateau I have since split my iTunes library into two seperate libraries using the program Libra but am wondering what happened to all the songs I either downloaded off my own CDs or purchased from the iTunes store after I reached that maximum number. It's not a matter of hard drive space as I was originally told by several Apple Employees...I have a Terabyte drive that I have my libraries going to that has over 700GB still free. I'm concerned that songs may have been deleted and wonder how I found out which ones were deleted or what happened to songs as I reached the 37,562 level and continued to add songs until I finally realized that the song count wasn't going any higher. I am on a Mac, using a G4 desktop under MacOSX 10.4.8. Any help would be appreciated...Tks

Problem trying to delete selected songs only

I have a new IPOD Nano and have sync'd several songs from ITUNES. I now want to delete a few songs. I have read and reread the instructions but cannot get an edit button when I go to the songs list and flick down. The edit button only appears on the screen that shows the playlists. I only want to delete selected songs. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hello ram801,
You may find it easier to put the iPod Nano into 'manual mode' and mange music via iTunes.

Moving selected songs from MacBook iTunes to iPod

How do i download only selected songs, and no more, from my MacBook to my iPod? I say "and no more" to emphasize that I want to control what goes into my iPod.

Or if you want something more automated another method you can use to auto-sync your iPod with iTunes is "Sync Music - Selected Playlists". Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively" anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync".
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash. This is particularly useful when your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod. When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). Drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you
I'm having trouble with spinning ball right now, so I'm not able to delete what doesn't apply. Anyway, I get as far as "Devices>Summary," but there is no "Apply" button. The only buttons are "Check for update, Restore, and SYNC". I'm not interested in any automatic procedure at this time. I can't say more now, because every time I click a key, the multi-colored spinning ball has to spin for a second or two. Makes things slow.

Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

How do I remove select songs from my iPhone?

I am trying to delete select songs/albums from my iPhone since it is almost over capacity. Apple doesn;t seem to want to make this an easy task... There are songs I simply don't want anymore, and can't seem to remove them from my iPhone 4...

You can delet by swiping your finger from left to right which will bring delet button ,this wont work on playlists so basically you can't delet individual song from playlist
Yes, you can delete individual song in a playlist.
In playlist, tap Edit button (top left), tap on the left of song, tap red Delete button.

ITunes crashes when selecting songs for importing from CD - any clues?

I'm running XP Pro on a Dell Latitude 620 with the latest version of iTunes.
When I put a CD in, iTunes shows me the tracks. But as I am selecting tracks to play (double-clicking on them), randomly iTunes crashes. Not immediatly repeatable, but it always happens within 5 minutes or so of selecting songs.
Any clues out there?

I had removed a couple of those artists and later replaced them with backups from a separate hard drive and it didn't help. I was going to ditch and replace all of them today to see if that made a difference. However, before I did, I thought I'd check a couple of things as far as renaming the artists was concerned. So I added a number to one problem artist's name, then tried opening it in the 'Artist' list. It worked fine. I went back, removed the number, and tried opening it again. Worked fine again. So I checked the other problem artists, without altering the names. They all open just fine. Problem solved! Well, not solved but mysteriously gone away, at least for now.
I think you're right about a faulty link being the problem, and I suppose something I did reestablished that link. Don't know what it was though, so I'm afraid I can't offer a solution to anyone else with a similar problem.

IPod Touch 3rd Gen not playing the selected songs - What's the problem?

Tried to play songs by selecting them but iPod Touch is overriding the selected songs with other songs and displaying those instead. This happens in all my Playlists. Jsut wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this and what is the suggested resolution? Last time I used iTunes, I did switch on the Genius DJ - unsure if this has caused the irregularities now? Help!

I have just posted a similar problem.(5/11/2011). Did you get it resolved?

I am unable to sync all my selected songs to my iphone. The error message is that the computer is not authorized. However, I have authorized the computer and iTunes confirms that. Any ideas what can be done to fix this. My phone is an iPhone 4S.

Were some of the songs purchased from a different itunes account?

Doesn't display album covers for individually selected songs. Why?

I just synced up my new iPod Classic and am surprised that it doesn't display album covers when I individually select songs or when it shuffles songs. The artwork is there - it displays them in Cover Flow or when I select songs from the Album list, but not when I select songs from the Song list or when it shuffles. Why not? Is there a setting I need to fix?

You're adding the artwork incorrectly.
Instead of selecting the first track of the album, select the complete album. Then select File/Get Info and answer "yes" to the "multpile items" question. The Artwork box is now on the Info tab instead of its own tab. Paste the artwork into that one box and that will add it to the whole album.
I can't be precise about the detail, but as far as I know, there will be one piece of artwork and iTunes and your iPod will refer to that one picture for each track, so it will not be taking up extra storage space.
Pasting the artwork into each track individually will drive you crazy - and I suspect it will take up extra space.
(If fellow "discussions user" tt2 adds to this post, I'm pretty sure he will confirm {or not if I'm wrong} what I've said about the extra space used if you paste into each track individually.)

IPod will select songs, but they will not play.

i can navigate everywhere on my iPod and select songs, and when i do the play display screen comes up, but the song does not start playing. if i try to fast forward, the apple logo appears and brings me back to the main menu. I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help???

Correction! He has another computer with his iTunes . If he plugs it back into his iTunes could this "restore" his iPod. Thank you.
