A performance problem with the new iTunes(7)

I'm having music playback issues with the new version. While playing any type of music file, it starts to falter/fidget(this is as far as my english go) when I try to run a game, or some other not-too CPU intensive application.
I checked the priority of both the applications and they all seem to be set to normal.
This issue never accured in iTunes 6 and I haven't changed any settings following the update.
PC specs are below.

I'm having this exact problem and here's my fix (which I must say doesn't really fix much for me).
-- <Fix> --
Make sure you close any other applications that would possibly use the soundcard. It may very well be a CPU usage issue, but this is what I've found to work.
-- </fix> --
--<Rantings>--
I find this extremely annoying, seeing as though I use programs such as Skype and MSN for voice, which with iTunes 6 I could do 15 different things involving the soundcard and/or videocard and/or processor with no hitches. Not the case here.
I can't even run a simple game like TextTwist and play a song in itunes7, let alone switch between listening to something and sequencing in fruity loops, or record audio while playing a song.
I guess I could stop complaining and use windows media player, but what can you say, itunes is the most organized and convenient source for music.

  • Itunes will not open on computer says it has stopped working and it must be closed. My computer tells me its an incompatible app. Is there a problem with the new itunes or is it my computer?

    I have recently downloaded the new itunes. My computer will open itunes but then a screen pops up that says Itunes has stopped working and must close. This happens every time and i can not by pass it. I am afraid all my music is gone as well. I found on my computer that its an incompatible app. What does that mean exactly? Was itunes installed incorrectly? I have had itunes on my computer before and worked just fine and had no problems. Is it possibly a computer issue or Itunes? Need help thanks

    Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
    > Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    > How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

  • Problems With The New iTunes 11.2.2

    Since I updated iTunes to the new 11.2.2, I'd have nothing but problems. First of all and most importantly, 100GB's+ worth of music has been lost. Don't know why or how I can retrieve them. No, I don't have them on iCloud, because all of my music is stored in an external hard drive. Secondly, after realizing I have no other choice but to start over, I made a new playlist. But I have no option of putting songs in them! ***?? Why? Can someone please tell me what's going on with iTunes?
    Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

  • Having problems with the new iTunes update

    I just updated Itunes on my Windows  desktop and now it won't open at all. Error message says Program cannot start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Reinstall the program. Unfortunatelly I did uninstall and then tried to reinstall it but now it doesn't download. What can I do?

    Hi Jos_Dor1510,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not able to reinstall iTunes, be sure you have used these instructions to completely remove iTunes and all of its related components from your computer:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

  • I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....

    I have problem when transferring book (PDF/Epub) from Computer to iPad with the new iTune? Please Help....

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.

  • I am having trouble with my bluetooth skipping while its playing music from my Itunes music...I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology?

    I am having trouble with the music from my bluetooth "skipping" on my IPhone 5.  I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology.  It's very frustrating to purchase all of this music and expect great sound and playability and get "skipping".  Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

    Does the issue occur when listening to the media using the speaker or wired headphones?  If it does, the issue is with the media itself.
    If it does not, it's likely a bad connection or interference.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Is there a problem with the latest iTunes update?

    After getting the most recent iTunes update my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes. When its connected to my computer it charges but you can't see it on iTunes and none of the content can be accessed. I've never had this problem before, and it doesn't happen on my other computer with an older version of iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting suggestions for this on the Apple site but nothing seems to work. Is there a problem with the new update? And will it be getting fixed soon?

  • Audio and speakers issues with the new iTunes 7

    Hi,
    I also have an audio problem after installing the new iTunes 7. It seems after iTunes have finished "determining the gapback playback information", all audio from iTunes and Quicktime only comes through my two front speakers. I have a 5.1 setup for my computer and it seems is only a iTunes and Quicktime issue since Windows media plays the audio just fine. Anybody know what the issue could be? I'm on Windows XP by the way.
    I have checked my speaker setup and sound card and this problem does not occur in Windows media or any other media software. It seems that it only occurs with iTunes and Quicktime.

    Yet another person with the exact same problem, with the same sound card. Everything is up-to-date. I've tried all of the other "fixes" but its either done nothing, or given me use of my rear speakers but added an awful awful ear shattering static. I've tried everything. I even stood on one foot.
    Furthermore, my EAX options do not work with iTunes 7 either, though they work with the older versions. I can't even adjust the speaker balance (front to rear, right to left). This is an isolated problem, only with the new iTunes and QuickTime. Everything else on my computer works just dandy, and cooperates with my speakers (5.1 surround) and my EAX settings.
    Edited because I said video card, not sound card.. I'm tired, been trying to fix this for an hour.

  • Movies won't play anymore with the new iTunes

    Yesterday we watched a movie using homesharing.
    Today I installed the new version of iTunes and now I can't play any movie anymore?????? :( I restarted iTunes, did a PRAM reset, restarted my ATV but still no go. :(
    Before this new iTunes version I had to wake up my iMac and restart iTunes to make sure things worked. Since the new ATV firmware I need to restart my ATV too. But now with the new iTunes version nothing works anymore. Apple's homesharing is going downhill for me.

    This morning I downgraded the firmware of my Apple TV to 5.3 (I was on 6.0.2). This solved my problem! :)
    I had lagging playback, both from iTunes as well as for Airplaying a video from my iPad. Often the airplay just would not start.
    With firmware 5.3 my ATV is again as fast as it used to be: videos start promptly, no waiting for the spinning disc and hoping the thing will start. It just works now :)

  • Problems with the new Pages.

    Hi everyone.
    I wonder if i am the only one experiencing a little problem with the new Pages?
    My problem is that every other time i want to correct the font lets say trying to underline or make the font fatter using the hotkeys "Command+B" or "Command+U" or "Command+I", or even changing it manually in "formats" my font gets stuck, and i have to copy-paste text from another pages-file into my old one to get et back to normal.
    Anyone else tried this?
    Martin.

  • Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC

    Hi
    We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
    We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
    When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
    Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
    Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
    What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
    regards

    You may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
    Login into the CIMC from your browser
    Luanch the KVM
    Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
    On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
    After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
    Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
    Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
    You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
    Hope this help
