ITunes 7.5 greatly improves FREEZE, still has bugs.

I updated to the new iTunes 7.5 this weekend. The biggest problem i've had and noticed that many other users had is the freezing of iTunes everytime a song reaches the 8 or 9 second mark. Well this was a big issue for me because it made it impossible to listen to my iPod on my computer at work. The new version of iTunes has greatly improved the lag. It still locks up and the resources still shoot up to 100%, but not it only lasts a few seconds. It's enough to satisfy me at least for now. I'm not aware of any other bugs that pertain to my use, and i'm still waiting for the new firmware update as well, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
I would also like to mention that i've updated to 1.0.2 and saw a significant improvement in the iPods menu response, so i don't know why so many people are afraid of the firmware. We're getting there folks, slowly but surely.

After installing 7.5 yesterday afternoon, I thought the freezing problem was gone. Once I got home and started really working with it, I found that the freeze is still there, but down to 5 seconds or so. That's far better than the 15-20 seconds before, but still not acceptable. I suppose the rest of the fix will take a firmware update. 7.5 still hasn't fixed the slowness of moving playlists into folders. After about 10,000 of them, which can only be moved one at a time, it takes 3 or 4 seconds to move one. I've always synced my iPods manually, but because I can only sync my new iPhone via playlists, I'm having to add all my music to the iTunes library and make a playlist for every album. It's a major pain and I will never understand why iTunes doesn't allow moving more than one playlist at a time.

  • Item.getName() still has bug?

    you know the upload library method item.getname had bugs before?
    bug was this method was getting the full path of the uploaded file...i know it was fixed...
    i think i am using the latest libraries...on my project i have tried many times and tested to some people...2 person's filenames uploaded correct as only the picture name...but the exception person's pictures uploaded as c:/my pictures/xxx.jpg
    my codes are very simple that has no error but the item.getname function has problems ?what you think
    thank you

    You need to extract only the filename portion from item.getName(). I seem to recall that this code works:
    public String basename(String fn) {
        String fileName = fn
        File f = new File(fileName);
        String par = f.getParent()
        if (par != null)
            fileName = fn.replaceFirst(par, "")
        return fileName;
    }Brian

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs.  My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

    So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files.  I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way.  I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone.  So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs.  How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

    Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me.  I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive.  It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive.  BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
    I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
    I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.

  • I put a passcode on my iPad 2, then I forgot it. I've tried to restore it in iTunes, but it still has the passcode on it. What do I do?

    I put a passcode on my iPad 2, then I forgot it. I've tried to restore it in iTunes, but it still has the passcode on it. What do I do?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present
    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • ITunes suddenly mentions that my iPhone cannot be synced because it needs 6.55 additional GB, although my phone still has 2 GB free of space. How can I fix this?

    iCloud is off on both my phone and my computer.

    It is saying that the iPod does not have enough free storage to sync all the items yu have selected to sync to the iPod. You need 2.48 GB more free on the iPod. You need either to select less to sync or delete some content form the iPod.

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:

    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.
