ITunes is ridiculously slow.  What gives?

I just bought a new computer, doubled my storage and RAM, Windows 8.  Now, iTunes is ridiculously slow.  What gives?

I can only add my XPS M1530 to the list of computers having the problem. I have seen posts back to the beginning of the year, so I suspect it is a problem Apple isn't interested in and it is likely a problem with their DirectX or other video routines gone bad.
Maybe they'll consider taking this as a formal bug and getting it fixed, because coverflow ***** as is while it is dreamy on the iPhone.

  • Downloaded album, last song is blank.  So is iTunes store copy.  What gives?

    I downloaded Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts album by Kula Shaker and the last cut, Stotra, is just blank air for around 7 minutes.  I went back to the iTunes store to see if that was the case on their copy and it was also 7 minutes of blankness.  What gives with that? 
    Does that mean there is no bonus song on the album called Stotra?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • ITunes Store ridiculously slow

    I have a £25 iTunes voucher, and so I tried to buy a song today on iTunes. BIG MISTAKE, it's currently been downloading for 5-10 minutes, and is at '448kb - 3 hours remaining'.
    This is ridiculous - I have a fine connection - Spotify would just play the track, Amazon would download it in 3 minutes. I can't see how I'm going to be able to spend any of my store credit if it's like this. Sort it out Apple. This is a joke.

    There's tons of people in Australia also experiencing majorly slow downloads from the iTunes store, which is completely abnormal.
    This problem has troubled me since November 3, and so far it's been getting worse. I used to be able to download at over 2 Megabytes/sec from the store, now downloads are crawling at anything from 30 to 200 k/sec

  • HT1933 I don't see the problem menu I just keep getting this article link when I click "report a problem" next to the offending item in itunes purchase history. What gives?!

    When I try to report a problem on one of my purchase videos, I keep getting this link: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/#video_purchases
    The article says I should see problem menu from which to choose my specific issue, but that is not happening.
    I'm stuck in a loop of bad service, what's up?

    You're right that the documentation says "for best results select the entire eye, not just the pupil". And then it goes on to talk about pupil size. The point I'm making is (1) you don't get "better" results ... you get an error if you just select the pupil; and (2) software systems that are smart enough to detect a user error and simply "beep" and "beep" could and should in fact be smart enough to offer some sort of unobtrusive help message. The red-eye tool worked fine, I'm commenting on Adobe's not-very-useful error beep. I read the instructions several times, but I missed the point. When I used the tool, the default (?) shape of the tool was, well circular ... like a pupil. It seemed very natural to orient this circle with the pupil of the eye. Not a big deal...just a suggestion for a human factors improvement.

  • New iPhone 4s not showing up in iTunes...what gives???

    my new iPhone 4s is not showing up in iTunes!!!  What gives???  I'm unable to sync my new phone!!!

    Same issue here:
    I have iTunes installed on a PC running under Vista x64 (Windows )
    Tried all the tips suggested by apple help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_7
    Won't work.
    Windows Vista x64 does recognizes my iPhone 4S as a Camera.
    I can connect my ipod nano without problems to my PC, not my iPhone 4S
    When I connect my iPhone 4S to a PC running under Win XP, connecting to iTunes works without problems.
    I suspect Win Vista x64 to be the problem, but can't solve the problem!

    When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

    I just updated an iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 7.1 and my computer/iTunes no longer recognizes the device; what gives? How do I get iTunes to show the device?

    With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.

    Is the computer the one the device normally syncs with?
    If not, sync with the computer it normally syncs with.
    If it is, place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

  • The banner in the iTunes store advertised the godfather TRILOGY for 9.99. I purchased and only got one movie. WHAT GIVES?? Why advertise a deal on the trilogy, then not deliver?

    WHY IS THE ITUNES STORE ADVERTISING THE GODFATHER TRILOGY, AND UPON PURCHASE I GOT ONE MOVIE? WHAT GIVES??

    The same thing happened to me. I purchased the Trilogy but it only downloaded the first movie.
    Also i looked at my accounts "purchased items list" and it didn't show that i purchased anything.
    When i went back to the store to look at the trilogy order page, it didn't say that i purchased it.
    It just had the "buy" button.
    I will wait a few days to see if i get an email from the iTunes store to see if Apple finds out that
    they made a mistake. If i don't get an email, i will have to email iTunes support to see if it can
    get this problem fixed.

  • For some time now, when I connect my iPod to my PC, I'm told my iPod cannot be synced to iTunes because (the file cannot be found).  What gives?

    For some time now, when I connect my iPod to my PC, I'm told my iPod cannot be synced to iTunes because (the file cannot be found).  What gives?

    Sounds like the file yo are trying to sync to the iPod is corrupted.
    Try syncing only one item that plays in iTunes on the computer.
    Also see the following since when you downgrade iTunes you have to reset your iTunes library since the older version can't read the updated version of the library.
