It's so far taken a straight day and a half to sync 4900 songs, what's wrong?

I've got a larger music collection and recently my main computer died. After loading all of my music on the new computer it is taking ridiculously longer than any time before of ground up syncing. I'm syncing 9600 songs and it has taken 29 hours to sync 4997 songs. Is this expected with the latest version of itunes?

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.
Also, sometimes restoring the iPod helps.

Adding reminders to my calendar items is no longer an option after the software upgrade. I also can't get to day and week view, only month view. What's a possible solution?

Even when I charge my Mac Pro to the full bar, the battery seems to be drained even when I am not using it. Example, after charging it full, i switched it on the next day and its 79% battery left. Is there something wrong? help please

Assuming you are disconnecting from line power, when you say switched on, do you mean it was shutdown or in sleep mode? If sleep mode the battery will still drain because sleep still keeps some things active and the battery does drain a little. However, to go from 100% to 79% charge overnight is a bit excessive in sleep mode. Unless you have some processes set to activate over night by the cron file and do things like backup the system.
What are the statistics on the battery, the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power...things like battery Condition, Capacity, remaining charge, voltage, current.

(Secure) empty trash is taking a day and a half

i ran a secure trash empty operation on my 250 GB mid 2009 MBP and this has been going for a day and a half with 34,000 items to delete at this point.
is this normal? did i do something dumb like put it to sleep in the middle of this and then reopen it or is this the way secure empty is supposed to work/
TIA

thanks mende.
i don't know but i am very good at taking out bricks and mortar trash but not so good at taking out virtual trash...
i guess the deal is that this operation is like doing a "writing zero's" level of formatting when formatting a hard disk, which can take quite awhile?
thank you.

My iphone5 freezes my iTunes v11 when connected and I cannot sync or do anything. I have reinstalled iTunes, tried different USB ports, ran diagnostics and said phone not recognised. Please help as have wasted nearly a day and a half trying to sort!

I have been using itunes for 6 years now, and was listening to my music the other day and noticed that some of my songs were stopping short of finishing.

I have been using itunes for 6 years now, and was listening to my music the other day and noticed that some of my albums songs were stopping short of finishing. They just stop and go to the next song. Any solutions?

I have experienced the same problem on my my iPad1, my former iPhone 4 my laptop and even my new iPhone5 though I had really hoped that the new phone and IOS would solve the problem. About 5% of the songs are affected and the stoppage can range from seconds short to a minute and a half. The file shows more of the music left, but it stops playing and goes to the next song. Very aggravating. Appears to happen on purchased and uploaded music.
Any help Apple?

TS2774 I have an unlocked at&t iphone 4 and I want to use this phone on straight talk and all works but the data package. what can I do to get it to work?

I need to know if apple makes it possible to change the apn on an unlocked at&t iphone....

Because somebody has been apparently living in a cave for the past 48-72 hours.... LOL :-)
Straight Talk now offers the iPhone (NOT the same as the SIM program that they have offered). It operates on the Verizon network. It went on sale this morning. http://iphone.straighttalk.com
And you are NOT correct. I know this for a fact - I'm actually a Straight Talk "BYOP" user. You must install a configuration profile. Period. There's no way around it - iPhone defaults to the AT&T carrier bundle (based on the ICCID number of the SIM card, which identifies itself as an AT&T SIM), which includes settings that will not work and will lock out the menus that are necessary to make changes to allow data to work.
The only way to make modifications to the APN settings (that Straight Talk includes in their package) is a configuration profile. Doesn't matter if the phone is locked or unlocked.

ITunes has taken upon itself to delete most of my podcast back catalogue -- what is wrong with you people? Why do you allow it to do this?

I am absolutely furious about this. Why was this allowed to happen? I now have to re-download every single ******* podcast I've ever subscribed to -- some of which are now lost forever because they're no longer posted -- THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

This just happened to me this morning. I clicked Podcasts in intunes 11.1.2 on my PC and selected a Podcast to see if it had downloaded the latest video this week. I clicked the circular refresh button which used to check for and display any new podcasts. Then all the sudden the Podcast I was looking at and another one just disappeared. I used Windows explorer to navigate to the itunes media folder which stores my podcasts and the two podcast folders are gone. They are not in the Recycle Bin nor have they been moved to another location. I had at least 3 years worth of Podcasts stored here and iTunes on a whim just decided to delete them from my Harddrive without asking me. These were educational Podcasts which we watch from time to time. I could download them again which would take days but how can I trust that they will not be deleted again? We hadn't watched all the episodes but iTunes kept track of the ones which had been viewed. What now?
This is infuriating. I will never be able to trust iTunes on the PC again.

I bought a few songs the other day, and only half of most of the songs downloaded. Like as in all of the songs downloaded but only go to about 1:30 then stop playing. Is there any way to fix this?

It was around like 16ish 3-4 minute long songs that only played up to 1 minute 30 seconds. If this can't be fixed, is there a way i could at least get a refund?

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Copy the words "Starting standard backup" (without the quotes) on this page and paste into the String Matching text field. Note the timestamp of the last message shown. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.
