Installed Itunes on new computer and transferring songs to playlist is extremely slow

New computer purchased, running Windows 7, and after installing Itunes it takes forever to transfer music to playlists. It takes about 1-2 minutes to tranfer the song to the playlist.
I downloaded Itunes the first time and lost the dialog box to finish installing so I downloaded again and installed. Music is on an external hard drive connected via an USB port.
What can I do to speed up the transfer process?
Thanks

Installed iTunes into New Computer and it doesnt function

hey I was wondering if anyone could help me:
I recently purchased a new computer and when I installed iTunes+Quicktime onto the computer, the program doesn't want to open up.
When I click on it, I see the hourglass cursor, then it goes away.
Is it possibly because I also have a program called iPod Access which helps ne to backtrack the songs?
I have tried uninstalling and installing it...no help.
Please advise me as to what is wrong! Thanks very much.

Yes, it's possible this is screwing up iTunes.
What does "backtrack the songs" mean?

I just installed itunes on new computer and songs disappeared from Ipod

I just reinstalled itunes on a computer that had a bug and was cleaned up and cleared out. When I reinstalled itunes and it sync'd all my songs disappeared from my ipod. how do I get them back

That is correct.
You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything abck on the coputer, then you would sync them to your ipod.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, njot good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Am installing itunes on new computer and having problems.

am intalling itunes on a new computer, windows, pc. Installed 64 bit more than once. Icon is on desktop but can not get to open. Won't go past accepting agreement. checked properties to be sure compatability in on windows 7. can anyone help?

You son is halfway right - you can only auto sync an ipod to one PC. That's how most folks use their ipods, I think.
Does the ipod show up in Windows Explorer?

I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct? However, they will not sync with the device? Are these video or audio podcasts?
How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts? You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes. To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right. Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, which is available here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Then try following the steps in this Apple article to create an account without a credit card -> Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Hi. I recently got a new computer and transferred all my files across using TimeMachine. Whenever I try to sign into any CC program (including CC) the program instantly shuts down and an Apple error message comes up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC twice with no avail and deleted every Adobe product on my computer and nothing is working.

I have seen similar discussions before... transferring does not work, you must install

Oddly enough, the music app with Windows 8 can see the playlists, but not iTunes.

Used ipod as a drive to copy songs into new itunes on new computer. Some songs do play in entirety, las minute cuts off with nothing plyaing, or it suddenly starts playing a different song. "TIme" shown is correct in the file.

Used ipod as a drive to copy songs into new itunes on new computer. Some songs do play in entirety, last 30 seconds to minute cuts off with nothing plyaing, or it suddenly starts playing a different song. "TIme" shown is correct in the file. Any way to fix this?

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
states this app unable to run on this PC

Hello jgrn76,
It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Upgrading computer, do I install itunes on new computer? How does my content on old computer get to my new computer?

I am upgrading to a new HP ProBook 6470b computer w/ Windows 7, do I install itunes on new computer or somehow transfer the files from the old Dell D620 Windows XP computer ? How does my content on old computer get to my new computer? Would like to find the best way to do this. Thanks!

Yes. You should copy everything ( music, apps, pcis, docs, contacts, calendars, etc) from your old computer to your new one.
You can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar for instructions on itunes.
Certainly your computers have a methed for moving all of your content from one comptuer to another.

Downloaded itunes to new computer and sync did not keep purchased songs on ipod

I have a new computer and downloaded itunes and when I tried to sync not all my purchases to my ipod transferred to my computer. How can I get these back into my library?

What you should have done was review something like the user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device before syncing with a new computer. Depending on your region you may well be able to download your past iTunes purchases from the store, however you have lost the chance to recover other content. Links in the tip.

Installed Itunes on new computer now I cant synch

Ok -
So I got a new computer and installed Itunes on it. I hooked up my existing ipod and I get a message saying my ipod is synced to another I tunes library. It says it can only be synced to one library at at time. I don't have the old computer anymore. How can I sync my ipod to the new itunes without deleting everything and starting over? There are thousands of songs on my ipod and I dont want to start over. Am i doomed? Help please.

OMG... DONT LISTEN TO THAT OTHER PERSON...i had the same problem...when your ipod connects, open it as a drive(it asks "how do you want to open this? type of question) , and drag and drop anything that looks like files...and did you look to the right when it connected? it says "transfer purchases" most people think, "cancel" but i looked, and i didnt have many "purchases" but it sync'd anyways...not everything like pictures, but my movies transferred over, and most of my songs...once itunes opens, under files, it has an option to "add file to library" or other options...try 'em all to save your stuff!!!!
im not a computer head, i just thought it would help you like it helped me...
