Itunes is very slow to load and takes forever to recognize iphone

My itunes has been running VERY slow. It takes several minutes to open, then it is unuseable for another several minutes. Here it can browse my library but my iphone doesn't show up. after this it takes five to ten minutes to recognize the iphone. it was working yesterday when I updated my iphone to 4.3.5, then suddenly this happened.
Any clues? I installed the most up to date version and it has the same symptoms and eventually says iTunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later

I was able to get my iTunes functional again after disabling a lot of my windows services -- use this thread for your reference:

I haven't pinpointed exactly which service(s) were causing the iTunes slowdown, as I haven't had time to test re-enabling all of them yet. But so far I've just disabled the services that I know I don't need anymore and iTunes has been running like a champ =)

When I open my laptop, it is VERY slow to connect and takes forever to process a request to open a website! Ugh! Help!

After while it begins to process a bit quicker. But really, the first 15 minutes, its excrutiatingly slow. Help!

PS CC 2014 very slow to load and operate after 2014.2 update

I updated my Photoshop CC 2014 64bit today. It was working perfectly up to the update. Since the update, PSCC 2014 has been very, very slow to load and slow in use. I have uninstalled PS used the PS Cleaner and reinstalled through CC Desktop. The speed problem remains. Interestingly, 3D is the Menu feature that seems to take the longest to load. In other words, the program eventually loads, but 3D appears 6 or 7 seconds later. I don't know if this is significant. The setup was working fine up to the update.
Grateful for any ideas about what may be the problem and what I can do about it.
My system is a 3770K, with 32Gb ram, x4 SSDs one dedicated to OS and programs and the others to data, and an Asus GTX660 (2Gb) graphics card. I am using the latest driver from the Nvidia site. OS is Windows 7 64bit.
I am getting no error messages - just great sluggishness.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to get some sleep.
Changing "sniffer" made no difference I'm afraid. I have put it back to "sniffer.exe" having tried reopening with "~sniffer" twice with no success.
Resources. The maximum cpu resource used during the period from clicking the desktop icon to the menus in the program becoming usable is 23%.
At the end of the splash screen when "initializing panels" is briefly on the splash screen, the line for the resource meter for the cpu went red and said "not responding" - the red disappeared once the workspace was active:

Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

Movies from iTunes are very slow to load

Movies in iTunes take forever to load and play on Apple TV .Is this normal?

This might be caused by the distance between devices and the base station being too great or the signal being weak for other reasons or interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

ITunes store very slow on iPad and iphone

Same problem as all you guys, last week noticed iTunes very slow on iPhone 4s and 3 rd gen iPad, phoned Apple yesterday, after being told to restore ( real pain) I was told- because I have 5000 songs on iTunes match the system is overloading, !!!!
I use my iPad as a control pad with AirPlay, I bought a 16g iPad because of icoud being able to store my music without filling up all the iPad memory, WHY SAY 20,000 FREE on iCloud if it can't handle a quarter of this?
Something stinks here, two weeks ago everything worked well, I haven't added to library since then, so why is it now struggling?
I hate when problems occur, the way Apple act as though they aren't aware, just admit it, tell us you are working on it.
So as it stands, it's my fault for BUYING to many songs....... I know how to fix that...... won't be buying anymore.
Ps, also have same problem on my 3rd gen iPad.

I'm observing the same problem. iTunes is nearly frozen, especially podcasts make the system extremely slow, no downloads possible at all. Opening an album song list is also painfully slow. All this prevents me from buying from the store. Apple should be interested in this. Please note that I'm not using iTunes match!

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.

Since updating to 3.6.22 web pages are very very slow to load and downloads too how can I go back to my healthy computer please?

Last week I updated to Firefox 3.6.22 (?)and since then a whole host of problems have occurred:
web pages are taking forever to load
downloads (like ccleaner and registry booster) wont work
some programs I've used often aren't working correctly (MS Picture manager)
I would like to uninstall 3.6.22 and get back to having a healthy computer again.
Today the web page problem became extreme - pages simply not loading at al and so I have just reloaded 3.6.22 in case something was wrong the first time.
Suggestions please!
I'm not that tech savvy and don't know if the installed plugins you've listed below are correct.....

Firefox 4.0 was released in March, over 3 months ago. If you have some add-ons that haven't been updated yet for Firefox 4.0, much less for Firefox 5.0, it is time for you to find similar replacements for those add-ons. IMHO, extensions like that should be considered as "abandoned" by their developer.

SWF slow to load, and removing sound when uploaded

Hi,
I've created a swf file from Flash CS5, running a video player and FLV, which plays fine locally, and when previewing from dreamweaver CS5. However, once it's all uploaded (video file, swf, html), the file is very slow to load and then doesn't play sound.
It can be found here: http://andypowell.co.uk/wateraid-drtv-inserts-door-drops-online-banners.htm#&panel1-1
I've had this issue before with the swf files on panels 2-4 and managed to fix it, but I can't get through it this time. Any help would be much appreciated.

Flash is a dead web technology because the most popular mobile devices can't support it. Use HTML5 video. You'll reach a wider audience with less code and fewer problems.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

Premiere Pro CC locking up and very slow to load bigger projects

I am having a problem with premirepro cc locking up and very slow to load bigger projects.
Windows 8 machine

I am having the EXACT same issue and now we are WAY behind deadlines. We have Adobe for Teams on 3 computers, all are HPZ820, Dual Proc with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 @ 2.00GHz, 32 GB RAM, Dual Video Cards Quadro 6000 4GB, Windows 7 64 bit with all the latest patches. Everything worked on the first release of 2014 but last week there was an "update" to Premiere. Since this update, projects work for a short period. When you start a new project and add footage, you can scrub the footage and play the footage with no issue. But the more assets you add, simple Titles, it slowly starts to fail. Playing the timeline starts and stops and then finally the end result is you can't even play the timeline. The Program window is frozen. I have even tested starting a new project, adding assets one by one but no matter what, I get the same results.

Updated iPhone 4s iOS 6.1 App Store and iTunes is very slow sometimes does not open, what to do?

My App Store won't even open all the way and says request failed or something along those lines.

I am using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it is very slow in loading emails and deleting emails. Did not have this problem till recently. Running Windows 7

With in the last 3 days my emails have been very slow to open and it takes about 20 secs. to delete an email.
At times I see the message that Thunderbird is not responding. I am using Windows 7 and Bitdefender AV.
I closed the firewall on the AV and this did not change anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Disable Bitdefender's option to scan mail folders and see if the performance improves.
