ITunes loading delays on screaming machine - takes 90 seconds to load

Need some help. Just built a new machine from the ground up. It has Intel Duo Core E6600 2.40 ghz CPU, 1066Mhz FSB, 4 mb L2 Cache; 2 gb DDR Ram; 500gb Raid 0 HDD; GeForce 7600GT 256mb Video card. Running Windows XP Home until Vista comes out. Screams. All other apps load in <1sec. iTunes 7.0.2 takes 90 seconds to load. With NAV & Firewall off still takes 75 seconds to load. iTunes load on other older PC's in the house takes 5-20 seconds. When watching Task Manager on itunes.exe; in first second ~25,000k loads into memory, then hangs for 90 seconds and then remaining load happens taking memory usage up to ~45,400k. Any ideas as to what's going on? Baffling?

sorry for the delay in getting back to you Windbeam. 60-odd reply-notification backlog in my inbox, and i'm trying to alert people that i'm not going to be around much for the next 2 weeks.
Seems to be related to hardware or the OS. Solution is to have a cd in the drive and then the load screams. Makes no sense at all! Very strange.
good lord ... that is peculiar. if it wasn't for the fact that having the CD in there was helping boot times too, i'd be wondering about a problem with your iTunes CD drivers ... but they don't load on startup.
perhaps check on the general wellness of the drive? i'm getting similar symptoms at the moment from belladonna (just during boot-up, though). her optical drive is broken at the moment, and when she's booting there is a significant delay, and i can hear the desultory clunky/whirr noises as the drive tries to run during those delays.
so it might be worth just doublechecking if your firmware is up-to-date on the drive. there's some info in these documents that might help with that:
Using CD Diagnostics in iTunes for Windows to troubleshoot CD/DVD drive issues
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive
anyhoo, have a good holidays!

Firefox takes minutes to load upon starting up and changing web pages

When I open firefox in Windows Vista, it takes minutes(sometimes up to ten) to start up.Once firefox has loaded and I go to visit another web page, it takes minutes to load that web page. I downloaded Firefox 3.6.7 when it first came out, and it just recently started doing this. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, but this did not work. It is not a problem with my internet connection or operating system, because internet explorer and safari only takes seconds to load up and load web pages. I have run various scans to see if it was a virus or a bug, but nothing came up. How do I fix this, because using Internet Explorer is really getting on my nerves?

ITunes takes 90 seconds to load due to TCP Reconnects

iTunes takes about 90 seconds to load on my Windows 7 machine - a VERY fast machine with 6GB RAM and SSD drive where all other apps run very fast. Scanning the internet, I found many instances of extremely slow loading, but none of the suggestions were helpful. So, I used Process Monitor to see what the f*ck iTunes is doing...
It turns out that iTunes is hanging due to TCP Reconnects. It appears to be scanning TCP ports in the range of 61432 to 61503, trying each one twice, and each attempt takes 500 ms to time-out, causing a total of a 71 second hang during startup. As appears to be typical for this very poorly behaved software, all of this occurs before any UI has been drawn - not even a splash screen - making things all the more confusing for the poor user, who is left wondering why the heck the program doesn't appear to have launched.
I realize that this is probably not occurring for all users, meaning that there is something different about the installation/config on my particular machine that is triggering this problem. Still, that is no excuse for such ridiculous behavior, especially for such a widely used application.
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated. Although, I'm not really interested in the obligatory shotgun approaches of things like doing full uninstall/re-install of iTunes and/or Windows 7, etc. So, thank you for not asking me to do things that are likely to be a huge waste of my valuable time. If you want me to capture and post details about my machine, I'll do that - even though it's highly obvious that this is an ugly software problem in iTunes that needs to be fixed.

FYI, the TCP Reconnects are shown as MachineName:61xxx -> MachineName:5354, and the result of the API call is SUCCESS. I'm just assuming they're timing out since the API calls are 500 ms apart. I have no idea what this API is doing exactly, or why it seems to be scanning a range of ports but with each connection then apparently going to port 5354. Very strange. There are no other API calls in between the TCP Reconnect. Picture is attached:

You might find useful information in item D1 of Time Machine Troubleshooting.

I have an iMac and I am running out of disc space. I am considering an external drive to house my iTunes library. If I buy a second drive to operate as a back up will time machine back up the disc on the IMac and the external drive with the iTunes library

If you have a considerable photograph and/or movie collection you may want to consider off loading those to the EHD too. Here are Apple's article showing how handle iTunes & iPhoto libraries.

Visual Studio 2013 Publish window takes 30 seconds to load

The Publish window takes 30 seconds to load in my ASP.NET MVC5 project. Previously, it loaded instantaneously.
If i remove the PublishProfiles folder, the window loads at once. Its only after i've saved an actual publish profile this occurs.
A new empty project does not have this problem. Therefor the problem 'should' be related to the solution/project.
Some more information:
Visual Studio 2013, fully updated.
ASP.NET Web Application
.NET Framework 4.5.1
MVC 5
Any ideas how to proceed ? :-)

Hi Antevirus,
Do you install the VS2013 update 4?
If you publish the same app in other vs machine, how about the result?
To make sure that it is not your VS IDE issue, please also run it in safe mode, or reset your VS settings.
For the performance issue, please also think about the windows Environment like configurations or other processes.
Best Regards,
Jack

ITunes takes forever to load

When i first got my computer and installed iTunes, everything worked fine. then when my Norton internet security expired it really slowed down. like it takes 10 minutes to just go to the iTunes homepage, ON A GOOD DAY. About a month ago i installed Norton 360 (better than the one before) and iTunes still takes forever! Does anyone have any help?

No help - but I have the same problem. Not only does it take forever to load but once it has loaded it takes forever to move around the library

My XP machine is unable to load iTunes 10.5.1. It gets about halfway loaded then says it can't find Bonjour.msi. However, that file is on the computer. I tried loading the Bonjour.msi from another computer but it came up with the same message.

I also tried to remove iTunes from the add/remove sector on Control Panel but it also refused for the same reason. Help, please.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Ever since i updated my phone to iOS.6 I have troubles connecting to the internet and the app store and iTunes app take longer to load

It keeps saying 'Unable to join' with my home internet and my work internet, i have forgotten both networks several times, but with my home one it keeps disconnecting with my work internet connection it connects but sometimes asks me to join then comes up ' Unable to join '
The App Store and iTunes takes ages to load, sometimes it is quicker without internet!!
I could get onto both of those apps quickly with the previous download, i current have iOS. 6
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have no more tricks up my sleeve other than maybe it is a firewall issue with your router.
You can tap or click on the heading below and read Apple's take on the issue. I really don't hold out much hope though that his kb article has any more to offer to you, but I am out of ideas now.

After entering Time Machine-takes a long time to load. Thoughts?

I've just installed Yosemite, and backed up to my Time Capsule over wifi. I can enter Time Machine easily enough, but when I go to choose a date earlier than 'NOW," it says "waiting." Eventually, it loads. But it can take up to 15-20 minutes. I didn't have this problem before upgrading to Yosemite. Thoughts? Thanks much.

It took me 20 hours to backup 32GB out of 65. I don't know why. Using carbon copy clone to download to another backup drive I did it perfectly in about 30 minutes. I expect that those appllications which show applicatiions are at fault and will try later getting rid of apps such as F-10 and pathfinderfor the first download. I have no idea why this is so slow. Everything is so slow.

Hi ..
Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space go?
Check to see if the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.
Anti virus software, as well as third party Mac cleaning utilities such as MacKeeper and CleanMyMac can also slow your Mac down.
For Safari.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test. if that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Devices and Printers Menu takes forever to load

Devices and Printers Menu takes forever to load in WIndows 8.1.
For some reason the green bar goes all the way across the top of the screen before the devices and printers
menu will load. It then loads without an issue after waiting for almost two full minutes.
This is a core I7 Win 8.1 PC with 16GB of ram and an SSD so it screams otherwise.
I do have a lot of devices on my home network but my windows 7 PC which is on the same network loads the devices
and printers menu almost instantly. If it were a device hanging up you would think that the Windows 7 PC would also be affected but it isn't. I will say that Windows 8.1 does identify a whole lot more devices that fall into the category of "multimedia
devices" on the network than does windows 7.
I have tried accessing the menu from safe mode both with and without networking and it takes just as long
to load.
I have noticed that most of the devices in Devices and Printers also show up in file explorer under network.
There is however no delay accessing that menu.
I don't really have a good feeling as to how to go about troubleshooting from here?
