ITunes is really slow now.

I added about 1500 songs in the past week, and now iTunes is really slow. Whenever I do anything with iTunes I get the colorful wheel. Can I fix this?

is this with iTunes 11.0.3 (the newest update that just came out a week or two ago)?
If so, don't do anything. I think 11.0.3 is a little buggy - I've noticed the spinning beachball too, sometimes clicking things does nothing, and it crashes a lot. I'm expecting/assuming that Apple will have another update out within a few weeks to fix the bugs.
Quitting and restarting iTunes might help, but I wouldn't do anything more than that.

  • ITunes 7 really slow

    Hi I have this problem...
    When I load my iTunes, some 4000 songs, my computer turns out really slow... The specs are good though: 2GB Ram, 3GHz Intel 630, fast s-ata hard drive... Right now my iTunes is synching with my iPod at a ratio of 20 songs an hour, strange because it's via USB2... What can I change to speed up things? Right now I'm starting to get disgusted with iTunes 7, I read somewhere that installing iTunes 6 can help, but I bought myself a new iPod Video and it needs the 7...
    Please help

    Me too!
    I have about 5000 songs in the library at the moment and that is just 1/2 if my entire collection.
    I'm running on Athlon 64 3600 with 2GB ram and iTumes is on a striped SATA drive so it is NOT my hardware. No other program behaves like it.
    When iTunes gets really 'busy' the taskmanager shows the CPU usage to 100% flat! It happens often and especially near the end of a song, it lasts for 10-20 secs. Its very frustrating since I cannot have iTunes running in the background if I am playing a game for example and I am forced to which to winamp.
    Here is another example. As I am writing this, I have open
    firefox, vmware, iTunes, creative labs mixer and windows explorer. Usage is between 0 and 5%. As soon as I start clicking on items in the iTunes list, effectively just highlighting items, iTunes' cpu usage jumps to between 15% and 30% until I stop clicking!!!! WHY???
    If it was not for the clean interface and the need to have it for my iPod, I'd ditch it immediately.
    Please Please fix it!!!!!

  • Why has iTunes gone really slow

    Ok for some reason after updating from one of the software updates for mountain lion, iTunes has now become really slow! It's extremely annoying because every time I open it up the whole mac becomes slow and lags loads! I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing anything like this or is it just me? Also if you know what's wrong, please help me as I can't do anything whilst iTunes is syncing my iPhone and iPad. Thanks.

    ***Everything else seems fine

  • Itunes 8 Really Slow on import

    I have a large music collection (around 500gigs of high quality imports of LPs) and decided to start fresh with itunes 8 and create a new library. For days I thought it was hanging because when I would import even a fraction of the library it would just beachball (and would be reported as not responding)... anyway apparently I just wasn't patient enough. Import on itunes 8 seems to kick off much slower than itunes 7 so it takes a L O N G time for the import to even start to register.
    My suggestion if you have a large library, quit everything else, import 1/4 of your library each night before you go to bed and then come back in the morning. If your are lucky your import will have started.
    I have my music on an external drive btw. Don't know if that's a factor,

    Not a solution, just wanted to add my 2 cents to the thread.
    I also just built a Windows 7 64bit, core i7 920 system with 6gigs of ram and a 275GTX Graphics Card (ya i spent way to much much, but this is the top of the line system). It blows away the dual Xenon PowerMac I use at work, expect for one thing. iTunes.
    I copied all my music from my old computer (about 120gigs). The copying went fine, only took like 45minutes, but iTunes itself runs just as bad as it did on my p4.
    I know the issue is being caused by my huge music library, but guess what, all those songs are also indexed into windows media player and it runs great (instantly boots, and instantly responds) just like every other one of my programs (other than iTunes).
    Every new release of iTunes it gets slower. considering 90% of the iTunes user-base is windows users, you think they would hire some decent programmers that would know how to optimize iTunes for large music libraries.
    It is, without a doubt, an issue with iTunes and not your PCs, I just hope apple finally gives it's PRIMARY CUSTOMERS some love and fix there broken software. I went mac, I came back, but I do love my iPhone.

  • Upgrading to iTunes 9 -- /VERY/ slow now..

    So when I "updated" to iTunes 9.0, all of a sudden, it's running excruciatingly slowly for me. When I first installed 9.0, it took about 8 hours to "update my library". Any time that I click on a song to play it, there's a good 10-second beachballing before it plays. Switching to a different song causes the same issue. I didn't have that problem at all in iTunes 8. Always ran smooth as silk.
    I rolled back to the latest version of iTunes 8. When iTunes 9.01 was released, I once again "updated" iTunes. Same exact issue.
    Currently, I have my iTunes library file stored on my local HDD and my music/videos/etc stored in a shared folder on a NAS. Apparently, other people have had issues with music stored on external drives. I'd done a search and the only real "solution" that I could find was to delete the iTunes preference file. I tried that and it worked.. until I added more music to the library. After more music was added, it was back to the same VERY slow behavior as before.
    Is there a more permanent solution to this and I am just not finding it? Is this a known issue that Apple is working on? Going to roll back to iTunes 8 once again.
    Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

    Hi there,
    I downgraded to iTunes 8.2 as well and haven't looked back (forward). I saw iTunes 9.0.1 come out but thought I'd wait to hear if it had sorted out any of the problems. But sounds like it hasn't.
    iTunes 8.2 was the sweet spot I think. Not only does 9 not work well, but it looks and feels awful too. It's such a shame they've messed up what was a great piece of software. I really hope they address all these issues, but I doubt it. RIP iTunes!

  • ITunes goes really slow in my Sony Vaio VGNAR41S

    Hi folks!
    Coverflow really goes slow, and music sometimes stop when I typing in other apps like word , that's surprising because my computer suppose to be the high laptop of Sony in Europe, specially designed for multimedia applications (Core 2 Duo, BluRay, HD-Ready, etc).
    It's like if Itunes don't use DirectX.
    My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium and I haven't problems synchronizing with my Ipod, using Media Center, Windows Media Player etc...
    Also, Quicktime doesn't play videos but no matter because I don't use it.
    I love iTunes, I think that is the best application for manage your music, podcasts, etc... so i'm very worried about this.
    Anyone knows could be the problem?
    TIA

    I have same problem with my Inspiron 5150, Pentium 4.
    iTunes ***** up most of my system memory. I was uploading one of my CD's and could do nothing else because the CPU was at 100%. This only started happening within the last month or two (note ; recent update) and I even tried reinstalling my OS thinking that would help. First thing I put back on was itunes- problem came right back.
    P.S> What is "iTunes helper.exe" and "iPodservice.exe"?

  • ITunes sync extremely slow now

    Now iTunes sync with iPhone takes hours each time.
    No new data, it's a an hourly sync or so, usually
    it's done in two minutes…

    Yes, no avail.
    But the whole thing is a mess now :
    - Sync Entourage > iCal don't work properly
    - MobileMe don't sync with Address Book
    - and apparently erased Address Book, so my iPhone synched with an empty Addressbook.
    Needless to say I'm overly happy.
    As usual, never have any problem with my Mac, except when M$oft comes into play.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup. Yo shld be able to make a backup if you previously syncing to this computer.
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Updated Ipod to ios 6 now apps close without warning and seems really slow also wifi doesn't always connect

    Updated my ipod touch to ios6 now apps close without warning and seems really slow to repsond. Also doesn't always connect to the Wifi never had any problems before upgrade

    Try a hard reboot (hold home and power buttons down at the same time until your iPod reboots). If that doesn't work, do a restore in iTunes and do not restore from backup. You wqill lose your game data and settings, but your iPod should run better and work properly.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.

    Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
    This does not lose any data on your iPad.
