ITunes 9.0.1 slow to open!

Im just checking to see if anyone else has had problems with the latest version of iTunes 9.0.1 being slow to open. When I click on the iTunes icon, it opens quick but then the main window freezes, then I see the beach ball spinning for about 30 seconds or so then the rest of the screen "comes alive" and then I can access the entire application.
It was never this way prior to version 9. I DID download the update that was supposed to solve these issues but I have not seen any difference in performance.

You might want to check that your certificate that you made has been applied to iTunes.app
try this code in Terminal"
codesign -dvvvv /Application/iTunes.app
Does the name on the certificate match the one you created?

  • Itunes 7.5 painfully slow to open in Vista

    Hey everyone, whenever I plug in my iPod touch or open iTunes the computer hangs for 30secs to 5mins before I am able to go into iTunes and sync my iPod. I have read other places that iTunes is slow for Vista but they were mostly old articles, is version 7.5 still problematic in Vista? Thanks a lot.

    Same for me. The iPod Touch itself is like a dream, very smart device thanks to the amazing intuitive system, but iTunes 7.5 for Windows is the complete opposite! I just spend the entire day trying to get some music, movies and photos on my device but it's been a miserable day of failing, errors, waiting, searching and waiting, waiting for the synching to complete. Sometimes a part of the media did sync, but not all of it and only after waiting for a long, long time! I tried looking for alternatives like MediaMonkey but it doesn't support iPod touch (because it doesn't support usb mass storage i think). My first Apple experience is turning into a nightmare to be honest.....
    A number of problems:
    - After scanning the Music folder, it appears that only about half of my music was visible in iTunes!
    - Syncing mp4 movies from my Nokia Phone only works when i use a 3rd party converter first. If i just use iTunes i can only hear audio, no video.
    - Sometimes when syncing a bunch of media files, the syncing process just appears to be hanging, after disconnecting (after an hour or so!!), only a part is available on the iPod, sometimes nothing!!
    God i'm tired of fighting and wrestling all day with iTunes. I thought Apple was user-friendly?
    Can anyone please help me?

  • ITunes and Toast are slow to open and will not quit

    The other day I noticed that when I start iTunes it takes forever to start, no window no nothing, then a few minutes later its up and running. Then when I quit the window goes away but the dock icon still has its arrow and it shows up in the "Force Quit Application" window as "Not Responding" and no matter how many times I force it to quit it is still there. No window just the dock icon still has its arrow and it shows up in the "Force Quit Application" window.
    I have to restart the Mac to get rid of iTunes. I tried downloading iTunes 6.5 but it will not install.
    Now I find that Toast 5.2.1 also does this, when opened it shows no window and can not be forced to quit.

    As this is a user-to-user forum, it's highly unlikely someone from Apple jumps in (they can be recognized by their white (Apple employees) or purple (moderators/hosts) avatars).
    The long delays can be caused by a very huge library. iTunes needs some time to open the library and after quitting, iTunes will write the updated 'iTunes Library' file to disk. In contrary to pre-iTunes 7 versions, this can take some time.
    If you don't have a huge (larger than a few hundreds of GBs?) library, the above does not apply.
    Concerning your Toast application. I'm running Toast 8 at the moment, but still have Toast 5.2.3 on an external drive. Running and quitting that application gives no trouble whatsoever on my system (OS X 10.4.8).
    Did you recently install a new app.? The first thing to try is to Repair Permissions with Disk Utility. If this doesn't fix it, you might have to perform an Archive and Install.
    You also might post a question in the Mac OS X forum. Maybe someone there has a hint that does not need a tedious Archive and Install.

  • ITunes 10.2 Upgrade fix temporary. Fix to iTunes 10.2.2 by uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0. Worked only to fail in 5 days. iTunes back to very slow to open and will not see device (iPhone) connected. Sorry

    I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.

    Hi Erik,
    Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
    1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
    2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
    3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
    4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
    5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
    6. REBOOT your PC.
    7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
    8. Plug in your iPhone.
    If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
    Goodluck all!
    Cheers.

I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • Error code: MobileMe Services has encountered a problem and needs to close - I get this message everytime i open Outlook and it slows down opening?  This problem started when itunes updated

    Error code: MobileMe Services has encountered a problem and needs to close
    I get this mesage everytime i open Outlook and it slows down opening. This problem started when itunes updated. What do I do to solve this?

    Hi turingtest2 (you pass, BTW):  Thanks for the speedy reply.  MobileMe doesn't appear in the list of programs which can be uninstalled.  I tried the link you suggest: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall but when I tried to "Run Now", I get the error message:  " Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred... etc.... [code 80072F8F]"  So googled this error & found a tool called (80072f8f) Repair Tool   -  I'm leery to download yet more stuff from non-microsoft sites -- any recommendations?

  • ITunes is suddenly slow to open

    Hello
    My iTunes has suddenly become noticeably slower to open. This is when opening it for the first after starting the computer from cold. It used to really zip to open. Now, the icon animates, but the window is slow to appear. I haven't added any new music to it, so it's a bit odd.
    Once open for the first time, with the ram loaded, Tunes can be closed and then when opened again, it zips open. Odd.
    Wouldn't mind so much, but I've got the same thing already going on with my Word programme. My MacBook is only 2months old.
    Thanks!

    goes away but the dock icon still has its arrow and
    it shows up in the "Force Quit Application" window as

    This is exactly the same thing that is happening with my iTunes. And today, other applications are refusing to open. Could it be that latest security update? Think I'm just going to reinstall the system and start again. But if anyone has any ideas?

  • Itunes very slow to open on iphone

    Every so often, my itunes on my iphone 4 is excessively slow to open - sometimes it just doesn't open and I'm left looking at a blank screen with the "loading..." sign on it the whole time. Possibly related is that my safari will take ages to refresh occasionally too. I assumed there was a reason for it, like when I was in a car it might be switching between cell towers, but then I borrowed my friends iphone 4 and his itunes opened in seconds. Whats going on?

    I don't have a definite answer, here are a few things you might check out.
    If you have a disk in you DVD drive, take it out.
    Try stopping the bonjour service. You can do this in Services. (type services into your search box)
    Do you have any iTunes plug-ins - these can be listed by running Diagnostics from the iTunes help menu.
    You can start iTunes without plugins as a test: Hold down Ctrl Shift while starting iTunes.
    You can check for conflicting programs with MSConfig:

  • Itunes takes too much time to open and don´t recogneize my iphone

    itunes takes too much time to open and don´t recogneize my iphone
    I´ve alredy unistall and re install and didn´t work

    5-10 minutes is normal for me when opening iTunes. But then my library is stored on network drive which slows everything down.
    There has been many posts about problems with RAID and iTunes. Don't know if any of those relate.

  • ITunes takes a long time to open, or doesn't open at all.

    I recently had problems with iTunes where it just wouldn't open. I did a factory reset on my computer, however it takes a long time to open and works really slow. When I try to sync, it takes around in hour.

  • After upgrading to Lion 10.7.1 - iPhoto and other programs slow to open and other problems

    Am I alone - having lots of problems with 10.7.1.  iPhoto is slow and when I export photos it exists iphoto then I restart and sometimes it will works.  Safari is slower also. Sometimes it justs hangs and I have to force quit.  iTunes is also slower to open. Almost everytime it goes to a checking library for a long time. 
    Should I go back to previous version? Will I lose my purchase. I do not have disks for the upgrade.  I do not want to go back - I have a lot of data and always fear of losing it. 
    Think Apple knows about the problems or am I the only one and have some other problem?

    olegz,
    First, thanks for the clear graphics.
    Authorization seems to be the hangup here. But instead of dealing with the complications of conflicts in authorization, which might take several weeks to months to iron out - site by site - I urge you to follow a different path.
    It looks like you're using Chrome. For this site alone, use either Safari or Firefox, both of which are more likely to have plugins to deal with authorizing your site. Safari is already on your computer, but v.3 of Firefox is stable, too. Frankly, I can't tell you what specifically might be the problem here; but switching browsers will solve the immediate problem.
    Sound good? Not so good? Post in this thread so that I or others can solve your problem once and for all!

    discussions may sometimes be slow for an hour or so (at which point the opening page of discussions will eventually apologize for the inconvenience, back on line soon...) but your description looks like a cache problem.

  • Pages 09 slow to open documents on iPhone 4

    Hi
    I've got iWork on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2, as well as iWork 09 on Mountain Lion. I notice when I open a pages file on my iPhone, after it's been created on Mountain Lion and synced with iCloud, it is slow to load. This is after it gives a message about it looking different on iOS compared to my Mac. It then asks me if I want use "Open Copy" instead.
    Is the slowness of opening the document due to some conversion? Is there a way of making the Pages documents load faster in some way and can this apply to the rest of iWork as well?
    Thanks

    Hey Ben Gunn,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, multiple apps will not open or access the internet. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • Have FF 3.1.6...less cumbersom. Lately it's been freezing up and is VERY slow to open. What's up with that?

    Have FireFox 3.1.6...less cumbersome. Lately it's been freezing up (can't close page without using Ctrl, Alt, Delete) and it is VERY slow to open. What's up with that?
    Have made no system changes. Have Avast for antivirus,. which updates itself regularly.
    Run Sys Defrag a few times a week. Don't know what else to do other than uninstall and reinstall.
