Ipod Seems a Bit Slow (Laggy?)

I have filled up my 60gb ipod a little over half of it with just music. It seems a bit slow now trying to explore through menus... is this normal? If not, how can I go about fixing or improving it? It's getting a bit tedious now because it's hard to distinguish what you are doing at times. Thanks.
Windows XP Pro

Thats normal, the new 1.2 firmware slowed thing as down a tad with all its new features. I don't mind much, cause the new freaure were much needed (Like gapless playback). Unfortunaly there is no way to to make things run a little snappier. Or at least not anyway I have found.

"Firefox seems a bit slow...To start." How to fix this?

I don't feel like resetting Firefox as this seems like an easy problem to fix. My add ons don't do anything either, i already went safe mode. Are there any fixes?

It is possible to disable this notification by setting this pref to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.

How much time does it take to start?
Is that really slow (tens of seconds or even minutes) or only a few seconds?

Periodically delete all apps from the recently-used bar (double clickHome button) and power off and then back on the iPod. With iOS 5, the iPod uses more memory (do not confuse with storage) and periodically you have to reclaim memory for use.

Hi Annie,
Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Copy the file to the device a bit slow

here is my question . My device there are a lot of space，but i copy the file to the divce a bit slow.

When connecting an iPod Classic to a Windows PC the following is suggested,
Connect to a USB2.0 port, found at the back of the desktop PC, and dont use the slower USB1.0 port at the front of the Desktop PC. - Main cause of slow copy operation.
Disconnect all other USB Devices, except the mouse and keyboard. ( another cause of iPod USB resource timeout)
Disconnect from the Internet, if you are syncing large numbers of files. (Some browsers plug-ins maybe hogging the system resources)
Stop your Antivirus. (monitoring/scanning of devices cause freezing of iTunes)
Preferably run only iTunes while you are syncing or Restoring. (to prevent winsock conflict)
Have a nice day!

Finder/Graphics seem to have slowed down

I've been having a problem (or possibly two) lately: If I'm running several programs, or one very intensive program like Mathematica, my Dock suddenly takes a long time to appear when I mouse to the edge, and/or clicking on a Finder window does not bring the window to the front, although I can move it around behind the other windows.
I have 25 GB of disk space, but only 512 MB of RAM, and I can hear the drive going alot. But it seems to be slowing down graphics such as the Finder windows or browser loading drastically as well - I thought graphics were handled by a separate system?
Is there anything other than increasing RAM that would alleviate this issue? It didn't happen before.
Oh, and I've repaired permissions and such. Also, I just recently had to have the logic board replaced, because it stopped reading the computer's power supply status.
Thanks for any suggestions you could give.

Hi Jim,
Maxing out the RAM will help quite a bit, when the OS needs more RAM it uses VM, or Disk Space, and Laptop drives aren't very fast either, so a faster bigger one would help, they sell 7200 RPM ones now with more cache also.
25 GB might sound like a lot of free space, but let's say it's a 100 GB drive, then whenever the OS needs to use some for Virtual Memory, it basically has a one in four chance of finding it right away, and that will most likely be very fragmented, so the HD must jump back & forth thousands of times to write one file.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files, but you should see some speed improvement!

IPod not recognized by iTunes. Also iPod seems disabled/locked showing "do not disconnect". Not responding to anything. Any help please.

My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.

Hello,
My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
recharge, though.
have u tried a different usb port?
I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
that are from another person's computer, so if they
get erased, the songs are gone forever.

Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

My 4th gen ipod touch is running slow. how do i look for updates?

my 4th gen ipod touch is running slow with everything. how do i look for updates or is there somthing i can do to speed it up?

Th 4G can go to the current 6.1.3, To update see:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.
You do have a 4G, right? It does have cameras?

A 3G can go to 5.1.1

Hi I Have an Ipod classic.My problem is that the Ipod seems to sync music ok but I have a number of podcasts downloaded to itunes but these don't sync to the ipod,(they have in the past,but no longer). Has anyone any suggestions please ?

hi gary
have you tried to sync your ipod ,when you click on the side where it shows your ipod?
Click on where it shows your ipod name for example garys ipod,when it opens up the summary page click the sync box,bottom right,and see if that helps.
In the summary page click on podcasts,click the box on sync podcast box (top),read before when the box opens and says are you sure you want sync podcasts.,theres a box underneath,which says automatically include ,make sure thats ticked.
hope this may help madforit

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I'm disappointed with the performance. Any

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

Why is ios 7 bit slow in my ipad mini ?

Recently i updated my ipad mini to ios 7 , its being a bit slow , i dont know why , scrolling the music list is being little bit slow , coming to the home screen through hand gesture is also little bit slow...?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

My ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps what should I do ?

my ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps and close the when i am working on them what should I do ?

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lion... Seems to be slowing my iMac Down? Tips and Tricks?

Hey everyone, this is my first post so go easy on me
I installed lion as soon as it came out. I'm really impressed so far, loving the new features (except my inverted mouse, that had to be changed pretty sharpish). My only problem is, is that it seems to have slowed my iMac down. I have seen in some posts that spotlight needs to do alot of indexing, but I generally leave my computer on for long periods so it should have finished that by now should it?? I seem to struggle with safari, however im just in the process of re-downloading and installing again.
My iMac is a 24 inch, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. My macbook air doesnt seem to have any problems so any idea why I would be struggling on the iMac??
Any tips, tricks or advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thats what I thought about spotlight. If Im leaving it on for long periods that should of been done and dusted ages ago. I know what u mean about the performance, some times it flies and does what I want, but the more windows I have open on sarfari and it seems like im asking for trouble!
I thought I would be able to re-download safari from here... http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
How ever u can only get 5.1 on the apple site and u need snowleopard for that. So that idea has gone out the window.
Hmmm not sure about the apps. However u can just re-download the ones u have already paid for can't u.
U had any joy?
