Does your transfer to iPod seem to take forever?

i'm just curious to know if it's me, USB, or the new iTunes, because right now,
i am transfering my songs to my newly restored (cleaned) 60GB iPod, and boy
is it taking a long, long time.
i don't ever recall it taking this long before iTunes 7.
so, is it me, USB, or iTunes 7? any thoughts?

New info: the artwork IS there when I download directly to my iPod. My issue is obviously with iTunes on my PC. That's better; I was worreid no one who downloaded the podcasts would have the images, but evidently they will if they download direct to iPod. Meanwhile, I'd still like to know what's up with transfers from iTunes to iPod.

I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up. Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

Try this basic troubleshooting technique: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot
4 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

My iPad 3 seems to take forever to charge. It will easily take 6 hours plus to fully charge to 100%, it has always been like this so thought it was normal, however my friends point out it isn't. Does anyone else have similar charging times? Thanks, Claire

Hi All,
I have had my iPad 3 since Feb 2012 and have always commented on it's slowness to charge. I was just wondering if it's meant to take 6 hours plus to charge to 100% or if this is a bit excessive?
As it has always done it, I have never really thought of it but a lot of my friends are now commenting that it's a really long time and it shouldn't take that long.
Thanks,
Claire

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Podcast image does not transfer to iPod

I publish a podcast, hosted by Podbean, and when I publish an episode, the image is displayed only in the iTunes player. It does not display with the Podcast in the Podcast Library in iTunes on my PC, nor does it transfer to my iPod. Evidently the image IS "transferred" to iTunes when iTunes picks up the new episode, but it does NOT "transfer" from iTunes to the downloader's machine or iPod. Any ideas of a setting I may be missing, or anything I may be doing wrong?
If it would help to look at the podcasts, they are (1) Alien Nation Student Ministries with Pastor Rob Deveney and (2)NUnity Church of God with Pastor George Moxley.
Thanks for any help!

I have IE & Firefox on both my laptop and desktop. Why is Firefox so much slower than IE7? Firefox seems to take forever to load pages!

I have a HP laptop & Dell desktop with IE7 and Firefox. I use Firefox more as I like it better than IE, yet the pages in Firefox load so slow. I thought the new version of Firefox was so much faster, but it seems to drag along and take forever to load pages. Why is this??

Why does Spotlight find things immediately but Finder takes forever?

Can someone explain why you type in something in Spotlight and poof it's there immediately but the Finder takes forever and a day?

By "Finder", you mean Command-F in the Finder? That is just a different interface for Spotlight -- it uses the same index. There is no reason why it would ever be less up-to-date then a Spotlight menu search. As for speed of the search, I cannot reproduce your experience. A Command-F Finder search usually finds what I am looking for before I can finish typing the keyword. I am on Leopard now, where Spotlight is stunningly fast. But I fired up my Blue&White G3 a little while ago and confirmed that, even there, a Finder search is much faster than my clumsy typing.

Top 25 Most Played list does not transfer to ipod

Hi there,
I updated the Top 25 Most Played list created under my ipod. The list showing in itunes shows the updated list, however the list in my ipod itself is not updated. How do i update the list in my ipod. Thanks.

under your ipod option in itunes
if u set it auto update, your ipod should update all the details when u connect.

How well does your 3rd gen iPod Nano run?

I would like to listen to your feedback, planning to upgrade my mini.Thanks Alex

Some hates, some doesn't care. If you don't like it, exchange it. I had a minor tilt, and got it exchanged.
Despite of the tilt I really loved it, great design and functionality, both music, videos and pictures. The screen is so beautiful - 214 pixels pr. inch! Beautiful! I was so sorry I had to send it back, but I really wanted it to be perfect for that much money. And when I first had seen it, I couldn't get my eyes of the tilt.
I've never had a iPod before, though I've desired to get one. I think you pretty easy will be able to use the iPod, iTunes guides you pretty much through, or you can see the feature guide on the AppleSite.
I think it is a pity that the CoverFlow isn't fully functional, but I have no problem with waiting for a software fix.
Just make sure there about the tilt (it tils 1 degree or more counter-clockwise) and that the buttons and sensitivity is working with you (some had problems with loose buttons or extremely-high sensitivity)

Hi out there... this problem began when I uninstalled Lion and reinstalled Snow Leopard on my older MacBook. If you have some advice for me, thanks! John

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes.
BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum.

IPod Touch backup takes forever; cannot install OS 4

I'm trying to update my iPod Touch to OS 4 however, the backup which takes place before the update isn't completing. I have left the backup running for over 3 hours and still nothing. Is there any way I can bypass or speed up the backup?

Okay. Sorry. Seriously warning you off, but if you insist.... people here have reported very (VERY) long times. I don't know what it does. It seems to 1) back up everything, 2) do a factory reset, 3) install the new stuff, and 4) restore your backed up data (calendar, apps, etc.)
It was fairly short for my son's 3gen iPod. Took hours -- 4? 5? Longer? I don't recall. I just let it run.

HT2613 I'm currently in the restore process, and it seems to take forever. The indicator on my Mac shows a crosshatched bar, but says nothing about % completed. What is a rough timeline for this process?

I'm currently restoring an IPod classic ... 160 GB, which is 5th generation, I believe.
It seems to be taking forever. What is the rough length of time for this process?

Restore a 160GB iPod Classic, should not take more than an hour, if your iPod Hardsik is healthy, and you connect to the USB2.0 port and not to the keyboard USB port. If you are using a Macbook, then only one of the USB port is fast enough for the slow iPod Classic.
However, if you are connecting to the correct USB port, and still having problems Restoring or Syncing, do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, refer to this outstanding post by tt2.
It wont fix your problem, but save a lot of frustration, in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Compressor seems to take forever for my video.

I just started using an older Sony FX1 HDV camcorder. I want the 1080i video which is the component out, so i got a Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card. I'm capturing the component through this card. Is this what is taking my compressor soooooo long to work through? Uncompressed video?

Hard to say since you didn't mention what the duration of your program is and which settings in Compressor you used.
But you mentioned capturing. Is that what you're doing? Or are you actually using Compressor?

When I click my icon to open firefox it seems to take forever

Sometimes I click again to make sure i clicked and eventually 2 will open up. Sometimes i right click to open and it still takes long. Once it opens the home page will take a while to load and if i click one of my bookmarks that will open immediatly. once open, everything is normal.

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Why does my safari icon keep jumping and take forever to load?

When I turn on my iMac and log in; the toolbar comes up and I push the safari icon and it jumps around and has been taking a lot longer to load...Is there something I can do to fix that?

Is Safari the only application that's slow to load?
