Ipod is EXTREMELY slow when I hook up to iMac

When I go to hook up my Ipod to Itunes on my iMac. It takes 10 + minutes to recognize the Ipod.
Any suggestions?

The iTunes 7.7.1 update fixed it for me and my 5G & 5.5G iPods.

Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!

0Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!?I recently purchased a Zen X-Fi2 64gb. I'd been waiting for a player of this size for a few years now but Creative was behind the power curve so I temporarily switched to an Archos 80gb. After the Archos began to annoy me I ended up just going with the Zen 32gb flash based player. It works/ed great. This new Zen X-Fi2 however is unbearably slow! I don't mind quite sometime to rebuild the library once the initial sync is done but when it takes 5 minutes to load a playlist (3000+ songs) then I get upset. It takes so long to load said playlist that the player shuts off before it has time to load all the songs. I can't even just click play right away like I could on the Zen. The only way I've been able to get around it is to tap the screen twice. Once to load the playlist (which takes forever if it's more than 00 songs) and again to play once the lengthy loading process is over with. However even then it doesn't load all the songs. I've been communicating with tech support about this with no resolution in sight. All they keep telling me is how 'normal' it is for a player to load a large number of songs. My Zen which is an MTP player syncs and plays music much faster! Is there anyway to possibly upgrade this to an MTP player?

Hi Vokivolli,
Almost 2 months on from your original post I see that you have received no reply from an administrator. Are these problems still persisting with your player? I have an X-Fi Style too and am experiencing the same problems. Like you I was hoping that firmware updates would address the problem. I don't think that the Style is a priority for Creative and unfortunately I don't see them bothering to solve these issues. Hope I'm wrong cos otherwise I love the X-Fi Style.

IPhone 6 and 6 plus camera extremely slow when using flash

I have noticed that the iPhone 6 and 6 plus camera is extremely slow when using flash, it is definitely slower than iPhones 5 and 5s.
Any explanation/solution for this?

I Have done some more testing and it seems turning off HDR resolves the issue

My Windows XP computer becomes extremely slow when I try using iTunes. It cannot connect to iTunes Store. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but nothing changes. I cannot use iTunes or sync my iPod anymore. Please help.

I cannot use iTunes anymore. My computer becomes extremely slow or just freezes. I notice the problem started after I updated iTunes to a new version. I have tried uninstalling iTunes completely from my computer and installing it back, but problem continues. We iTunes launches, it tries to connect to iTunes store, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that either. I can't sync my iPod or play back my music, please help.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

My new ipod is extremely slow, but i have full strength wifi. Works fast at others homes.

My new ipod touch 4g is extremly slow in my house, but i have full strength wifi. Works fast at others homes. When i try to connect to the internet it gives me a server error. All other ipods and laptops work fine in the home. Does anybody else have this issue?

Have you tried powering off and then back on your router?
You can try:
- Reseting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network settings.

IPod updates extremely slow...

I just recently restored my iPod, but it is going extremely slow. At this rate it will take me couple hours to get about a thousand songs on. Does anyone know why it sometimes updates so slow??

Hey,
i'm having the same awful problem, I have an ipod mini 2004 (with the firewire connection cord) and when i go to update songs it is extremely slow... the first time i did this i thought it was frozen. However it's taking about a half hour for 13 songs at present.
This is a new problem for me, i've had the ipod for 2 years now. I've updated on this G4 before and it was fine, as well i've updated on my old ibook G3 and had no issues.... what the **** is going on with my baby?

Extremely Slow when Opening a new tab

I have just bought my new Retina MacBook Pro after my 3 years Macbook Pro 13" is total lost and get the Mountain Lion OSX with latest 10.8.2 version
After migrating the MacOSX from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, my Mac is everything ok but without Safari.
Once I wanna open a webpage from bookmarks bar, I usually open a new tab then click one of webpage in one of the bookmarks bar. The problem was happened in this action.
After I opening a new tab which I have set to show top site rather than History (all top site are locked like a set of bookmarks), the system extremely slow down even I just move my mouse from one bookmark to another on the bookmarks bar, it still have a bit serious delay more than a second.
I have just tested, if i choose history not top site is shown when I am opening a new tab, the performance really better. However, when I scroll to somewhere all have thumbnails for those webpages, the performance still slow down but not yet as serious as the top site and I think becasue I have choose over 12 webpages for topsite (which are all have thumbnails).
My new Retina MacBook Pro is the lower default spec i7 2.3GHz and the version now is MacOSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.1
one of place I want to mentioned is my Safari and Safari Webpage Content are over 500MB once I have opened. Is it common and normal? I feel really upset that my new Mac doesn't really faster than before but the older one is Core 2 duo and 4GB ram vs the new one is i7 2.3GHz and 8GB ram....oh my god

Converting a movie for iPod is EXTREMELY slow

Hi,
I am trying to convert a movie that I have in iTunes to use on an iPod touch. I used Advanced --> Create iPod or Iphone Version. However, it is EXTREMELY slow. The movie is 95 minutes and under 2GB in size. After 2+ hours of converting it's still only at roughly 30% converted. Should it really take almost 8 hours to convert one 95 minute movie? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Thank you Chris. The movie is not from iTunes. I ripped a DVD using Handbrake to a .mv4 file. I have ripped other DVDs to this format and they transfer to my iPod just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is... I cannot open the file in iMovie, although it recognizes and allows me to open other .mv4 movies. The other odd thing is that this movie in particular transfers to my Apple TV just fine. Is there simply a problem with the file perhaps? A problem with iTunes?
Thank you for your help.

Yoga 2 Pro - extremely slow when plugged to an external monitor with Windows 10

Hi! Like most of you, I was eager to take the step early and try Windows 10 (knowing the risk of running into some problems on the way). Everything works very smoothly, and Win10 is really delightful. The only major problem I've faced is that when I plug an external monitor, every action (launching Firefox for example) takes ages and many apps "doesn't respond". I've downloaded and installed all the drivers for Win10 (included the one for the graphic card). Any idea what is happening or what I could try? Best,François

Hi. I am suffering the exact same thing. But i think i narrowed down the issue:When i am not using an external monitor - everything works nicely.When I am using an external monitor (and laptop set to "Extend" mode) while laptop screen is open - everything works nicely.When i am using an external monitor (and laptop set to "Extend" mode) while laptop screen is closed - everything becomes extremely slow and laggy. I wish Lenovo support would provide a solution asap.

Videos are extremely slow when trying to view them

Here is the situation. I have been posting course material for over a year now, and everything had been working fine. Over the last week, any video that I try to view from our iTunes U site is taking at least 5 minutes to play, when I double click on the video I get the loading bar, the videos that are less than 30 minutes long take between 5 - 8 minutes to play, the ones that are over 30 minutes take between 10 - 15 minutes to play. This had never happened before, and the weird thing is that I can go to any other iTunes U site and view videos that are two hours long and it takes less than a minute to play. So I know its not my network bandwidth or I wouldn't be able to view other sites. I use an iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of Ram, bought specifically for iTunes U administration. I don't know what else to do. Any help or advice will be truly appreciated.

I have also found our iTunes U site extremely slow for the past few weeks. It also took a long, long time to log into Admin. But at least for us, there has been a noticeable change (for the better) in the last few days.

Processing speed of my MacBook is extremely slow when opening applications, whether Mail, Safari or MSOffice

Problem description:
The processing speed of any function is extremely slow - such as opening Mail, Safari, clicking on a page within Safari, switching to MS Word, adding a window in Safari, loading a page from Safari. I get the spinning wheel most of the time before the action is completed. All other Macs which are newer in my home WiFi network operate just fine. I have done a top level (novice) check for malware, and haven’t found anything. Any help you can suggest would be truly appreciated! Thank you!

Before you do anything do you have a current backup? If not make one.
I don't see any of the usual software suspects associated with slow downs. You don't need the Seagate software, you should uninstall that.
Reset the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support and PRAM How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
You only have 2GB of ram and could upgrade to 8GB, but Snow Leopard should run ok in 2GB.....not great but ok.
Start up in Safe Mode OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support be paitient as it will take awhile to start as it checks and tries to repair any problems with the file system. Once it's completely started up you can restart normally.
Insert your Snow Leopard disc and restart while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and permissions. While in Disk Utility check the SMART status of the hard drive, anything other than Verified indicates a problem with the hard drive.
Again, you only have 2GB of ram.....try restarting your Macbook every day.....it's been running for almost a week now.
