Extremely slow connection from ipod to itunes

Im not sure if this the right place to ask this, so i put it in two forum threads. Heres my problem, My ipod works fine, with an exception of few freezing moments while playing much, but thats not the problem. You see, when i transfer my songs from itunes to my ipod, it starts to go, but then my ipod clicks really loudly (for an ipod at least) and the transfer stops, then starts, then stops..and it repeats itself. I does transfer, just unbearably slow, anybody else have this problem? Thanks big time

I am having a similar problem. I have not been able to sync my ipod since updating to 7.1.1

Extremely slow download from Itunes store when on NAS

Hi All,
     Since the latest Itunes update 10.6 I've been experiencing extremely slow download from the store. Set up is as follows (with all the latest firmware and software upgrades done on everything)
     ITunes DB and XML locally stored on HDD
     Itunes Media Folder stored on NAS DNS-323
     DNS 323 NAS hardwired to network by 1000 Gb LAN Connection
     Cabled Internet connection at 60Mbps
There is no issue running Itunes from the NAS to MAC / APPLETV and other devices across the network wirelessly or hardwired, except when downloading purchases from the ITunes Store. One HD tv show takes 4 hours to download and averages 1Mbps speed.
     After running some test with various configuration it seems that the fact that the Downloads folder located within the ITunes Media folder (now stored on the NAS) is causing the poor download speed. When the Download folder is local on a HDD it's got no problem reaching 60Mbps.
     Unfortunately there is no way to tell ITunes to keep the Downloads folder local and the ITunes Media folder on NAS, it always stays within the Itunes Media folder no matter where this folder is located.
     Permitting Itunes to keep the Downloads folder locally while downloading files and transferring the files to the ITunes Media folder (wherever it's located) once it's fully downloaded might be the simple solution to this common problem.
     How about testing this out Apple!

I have some information to add to this. I've been seeing these problems for quite some time since I started downloading in HD. My library is rather large so I too decided to use another drive. My case is different though I have and extra 2 TB internal drive and my media folder is on it. This rules out all Wifi, network, or USB bottlenecks as a cause of the problem. I have noted a few oddities about this behavior and I will mention them here although I am not sure what they mean.
1. If I set up a long list of downloads it seems to crawl on all downloads. If I kill the "apple push" process the top two seem to speed up. I have to maintain the list and only enable two downloads at a time to get anywhere near reasonble speeds but this method is great for one or two downloads at a time.
2. I was curious about this problem after watching it download for hours on a 24MBPS connection for just a few shows. When I did yet another search I finally found this thread so I thought checking something out might be interesting. I set up some HD movies to download on my secondary system that only has one hard drive. Although not at full speed they began downloading much faster. Three movies are all downloading on the single drive system faster than the one alone on the system with the Itunes media folder on a different drive.
Both systems are hard wired to the internet.
Finding this thread made me very curious I was wondering if there would be a performance boost if I uninstalled Itunes, and re-installed it on the media drive. I really wanted that drive to be storage only but it makes me wonder if it would give different results or the same problem from not being on the OS drive.
Both systems are running Windows 7, and both are able to download streaming content, large files, or movies from other sites relatively instantly.

Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

Songs greyed out whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes?

I own an iPod touch 4G. The problem I'm having is whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes, a certain 6 songs show up as "greyed out" and are listed as the most recently added songs. It's not a huge problem but it's bothersome. One of the songs, "Survival" by Muse is on my iPod, the exact same version I purchased and it is not greyed out and I can play it normally. The other songs I don't have on my iPod (not from their respective albums at least, but from a compilation I purchased). They do not show up greyed out on my iPod music, just on iTunes under Music under my iPod name. I don't know why these 6 songs show up greyed out, there's no reason they should. Please help me get rid of this so I don't have to deal with it again!

Try a new cable and different USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

How do I get my legitimate songs from iPod to iTunes? Old computer died and have new iMac but same apple id?!!

HELP ME!
I won't lie, iTunes confuses the **** out of me. I thought I had it sussed though, clearly I was wrong...
Okay, got a new iMac when my last pc finally died. Synced my ipod to it no worries at all, never lost a song. I assumed it was because I had home sharing or because I'd authorised my new computer using my old apple id?
Now I have a problem though. This is the first time I've actually had a good look at what happens when I connect the ipod to itunes. It will let me add new music that I've burned from my cds. However, it won't let me save any of the previously burned music on this ipod to the itunes library, even though I used itunes and the same apple id to do it originally on my old pc. I want to do this so I can transfer some of the music to my iphone which has less memory (we have an ipod playlist and iphone playlist because of the memory available).
Is there a setting I've got wrong or is this because itunes legitimately believes I'm trying to infringe a copyright? I thought my apple id would mean they knew everything I'd done under that id before? Do I have to burn the cds all over again?
Pls ask me to clarify anything if I've not provided the right info.
Thanks

A lot of content is available to down load from the purchased are of Itunes Store on all devices and computers.
If you do not use iTunes Match, I don't then the computer is your source of your own non purcased content. This you can share with 5 Computers and 5 Devices.
That is why it is important to keep a backup of this data so it can be restored to that computer or mover to a new one and you can resync it to your devices

Importing from iPod to iTunes and artwork problems

I have lots of albums on my iPod with artwork that display in iTunes, but it doesn't display on the iPod. Is there a minimum resolution for being able to display artwork on the iPod? I like to have the artwork in the MP3 file itself at a low resolution to take up about 20K in each file. Does anyone know what could be causing the problem?
Further, it's irritating that I can't get the ratings I set on the iPod back to iTunes when I do a sync. I'm guessing that the shuffler uses ratings when picking, and I would like to have my ratings survive a sync. I also use ratings to mark songs that I don't really like, so I can move or delete the songs. Is there some setting in iTunes or some program/service that needs to run in order to get a sync to work essentially both ways? (Are these two problems related?)
I appreciate any help that can be offered.

Not sure about your ratings issue. You are syncing rather than manually managing your music I take it. You might find that a reset helps. In principle the iPod should record play counts, played time & ratings which will then update iTunes when you sync. As for the artwork issues....
*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

A playlist that I update on my ipod won't update when I connect my ipod to itunes

I have been using my Ipod Touch 3rd generation to create playlists. The playlists show up fine and play on the ipod, but when I connect the ipod to itunes, and click on the playlist, it does not reflect the changes made on the ipod. I have the ipod set to manually manage, so when I disconnect the ipod the songs are still on the ipod, but why won't they show up on itunes?
I also deleted some tv shows off of the ipod by way of itunes, but when i disconnected the ipod, they were still listed on the ipod, although they would not play. So somehow, my itunes and ipod are not communicating with eachother. Any ideas/fixes?

Hey BingHuo,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPod will sync but not charge while connected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iPod's battery doesn't charge
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

How do i transfer music from ipod to itunes library?

You've posted to the iTunes Match forum which your question is not related to. However, these User Tips will help you:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
For the future, keep in mind that an iPod is not a backup/storage device. It is designed to be strictly a playback device. It is up to you to backup your personal data, including music, to a local, external HDD.

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

Let us know a little more info.

I can no longer properly sync info from iPod to iTunes. Did iTunes change?

I have always been able to sync my iPod to iTunes. It updated number of plays, date last played, ratings, etc. from the iPod to iTunes.
I can no longer do this. I was on the phone with Apple Support for over an hour...kept getting put on hold while the technician searched for answers...and finally a "senior advisor" told me that it's impossible for information like this to be transferred from the iPod to iTunes. They're on "different" counting systems. This is amazing to me, because it's worked beautifully for years, but now this won't work. Information will transfer from iTunes to iPod, but not from iPod to iTunes.
I don't understand what happened.

The "expert" is wrong, partially. You must be using automatic syncing in order for iTunes to keep the "supporting data" (such as ratings and playcount) in sync. With automatic syncing, it is iTunes's "job" to keep the iTunes library on the computer "in sync" with the library on the iPod. You tell iTunes to replicate either the entire iTunes library on the iPod (if it will fit) or a defined subset of the iTunes library on iPod, and iTunes keeps all data for that media content in sync between iTunes library and iPod.
However, if you use the manual method to load content (drag and drop items on the iPod in iTunes), with the Manually manage music (and videos) setting on the iPod's Summary screen, THEN the iTunes library on the Mac is separate from the library on the iPod. iTunes just loads the media files on the iPod and then "forgets" about it. You can delete songs on the computer, and they stay on the iPod because iTunes doesn't care. In this case, iTunes also does not care about the supporting data, so things like ratings and playcount are not synced back to the Mac. Afterall, that song on the iPod may not even exist in the iTunes library anymore. It's possible that NONE of the song on the iPod are in the computer's iTunes library.
