Itunes 10.4.9 takes an age to open

I downloaded the latest version of itunes yesterday onto my works laptop, however every time i try to open itunes it takes roughly 20 mins to open, has anyone else experienced this problem?
Also when it is open, everything to do with syncing the itunes takes an age also.

Same here. The funny thing is, I also have Airfoil that works fine -- I set the input as System Audio and it plays through the Airport Express just fine, so the "network" is working just fine, it is iTunes that seems to have the problem.

  • Mac Clients take an age to open, PC much swifter?

    Any ideas?
    our mac clients, bound to the server, can take an age to open folder in sharepoint - upwards of 70 secs in some instances...
    (Granted there may be (say) 200 folders representing individual cases, most holding 4 jpegs, a few may contain 20 jpegs), BUT PC opens the sharepoint almost instantly... usually about 20 macs sharing over AFP and about 4 PCs over SMB at any one time.
    If one knows the job number, a search will find it almost instantly on the mac, but sometimes one just has to drill throught the various folders and this is painfully slow.
    Why are PC users able to embarass me!!!?:??
    Once a directory/Folder has finally opened it will be readily accessible till one logs off

    Firefox always wants to restore my last session when I open it. It also takes a long time to open. HHHEEELLLPPPPPPP!

  • It takes me ages to import a CD on my itunes, but not every cd i import just a select few i have tried, using the newest itunes version as of 2013

    When i import cd's onto my itunes it usually just takes between 2 to 10 minutes, but I have found that with a couple of cd's it takes signifigantly longer, as the current one I am importing has been doing so for an hour and its only just halfway done, having importer 6 of 12 songs, I have looked at other things to try and help but nothing seems to work, help!

    I set up a new itunes on a different laptop, tried to import the cd and experienced the same problems, then i decided to try a different cd onto the new itunes and it has worked fine, so a problem with the cd im pretty sure, any advice? ive tried cleaning it

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have gone through ALL the above steps and are still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

    Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)

  • Whenever I click on iTunes store, it just takes me to this huge add to download the new version of iTunes. I have tried clicking the download box and downloading it, but it still will not let me past the add so I can buy music. What gives

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • TS3212 itunes takes a while to open on windows 7

    When I open itunes, it takes a while to open up. What can I do about this?

    Hello there Tonyal8507,
    I was researching what might cause performance issues with iTunes on a Windows computer and found this lil gem. Named Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4123, I think it will help you out.
    If that troubleshooting does not resolve your issue, you may want to consider recreating your iTunes library.

  • E70 Text messages take an age to send

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can offer advice. Generally the E70 is pretty cool but It takes an age to send a text message and I cannot use the phone whilst it is sending. I have deleted all messages etc but no joy.
    Any advice please?

    the early N series had a problem like this, the solution was to download a programme from Nokia support pages for the appropriate handset
    sms accelerator i think it was called, maybe there is the same for E70, i cant look as for some reason the only nokia web pages i can look at are the discussion pages, anyone else having a problem getting into nokia.co.uk etc?

  • While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer.

    While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID to share it with someone else. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer. Months ago when I would e-mail myself the url all I had to do was click on the link in the e-mail and it took me right to the specific podcast in iTunes. Now it only opens iTunes and I can't figure out how to find the specific one. What good is the e-mail tab on the iPhone if it doesn't connect you to the podcast you sent?

    Same here. I just posted a question too.

  • Why does itunes take 10 minutes to open?

    randomly a couple days ago itunes decided it was going to take 10+ mins to open. i uninstalled every apple thing i had on my computer and reinstalled itunes and still didnt work. i read thro forums and people have issues with leaving blank cds in there cd/dvd drives. i did not have this problem. i have tried itunes 10.4 and 10.5 and niether work. everyone on my computer works fine. just itunes is giving me problems.

    oh and my computer is a beast. so it shows 0% cpu usage and like 18$ ram usage during this problem. so its not that my computer cant handle it. oh and there is 0 music in there right now and still has issues.
