ITunes loads very slow

With over 48000 songs, itunes loads very slow. Thinking it my be my pc I loaded it onto a new pc and get the same results. Is there anything I can do to getit to load under 5 seconds at least?

Dear Apple,
I need to complain about the same problem. I have 1/10th the songs in i-Tunes (~4800) and I cringe every time I want to start the program. The same delay happens anytime I load or switch a CD to import a song.
Google can load a billion links in a blink; can't you load a millionth of this info in the same amount of time? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Frustrated,
-Mike

  • ITunes startup very slow

    Hi
    My iTunes is very slow, when it starts up, i have the newest version, i have just updated.
    It has allways been a problem, do any of you have the same problem, and is there a solution on the problem??

    How long is "forever"? I have been experimenting with startup times with my music collection (on a FW400 external drive) - on a G4 MDD it takes 60 secs to load, but on a MacBook it takes 30 secs. This even though the MacBook has much less RAM. So I am wondering if processor speed is what is being overloaded as the iTunes library file loads........ Can any of you provide actual numbers?
    What Mac? How big a music collection? How long to load? Is there a pattern here?

    I use iSquint to compress the video. Have a look at this site to see my dv project that was 286mb original size, compressed down to 4.8mb. http://web.mac.com/lfairlie/iWeb/Site%204/Welcome.html
    You can play with the size it compresses to quality wise as well.

  • ITunes is very slow when updating apps

    Since a few days iTunes is very slow when updating apps and downloading updates for iPad etc.
    Very often a download is ended with the message server reply time to long.
    I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes on an iMac mid-2010 with latest OS. I have some 3-4 GB out of 12 GB memory free and 70GB free out of 500 GB storage. I have measured my internet connection speed and it is very good 95-98 Mbit/sec.
    I can't see any obvious reason to why iTunes is so slow. Have anyone experienced this? Please help!

    Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
    I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point.

  • Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums

    Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums. I am using iTunes 10.6.1 Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM 2.66 GHz Intel processor and my itunes library is 340GB. My new music is on the computer's hardrive (about 16GB) and the rest is in an external HD.
    It used to work great until I switched to the new version of iTunes (10.6.1) and now changing the artist field is very very very slow (1 minute per song in compilaton albums)
    What happened? Can someone help me?

    Thank you both!!!!!!  Especially you, Limnos for adding onto the terrific answer from leonieDF.  Yeah, I'm seldom willing to let the software do the driving all by itself.  <heh>  However, to date I've been too lazy to work with what is currently there - and needing to know how to customize the software was my first step.
    I'm finally going to reduce the enormous physical size of my cd collection - organizing and storing the jewel cases is too great a nightmare not to mention that it has turned my livingroom into nothing more than a visually overwhelming variety of storage devices--spinners being my favorite, but now mostly unavailable outside of yard sales.  Favorite disks I WILL keep to play in the car (no, my player is too old to have a USB port).
    I'm getting a 2T external drive to hold the accumulation - but before that, I wanted to find out HOW to organize things so that I can find them myself - old school.  My ITunes libraries go back many years, but I now want a good cohesive way to save the way that I want - not the way that is set up for me.
    Thank you both again very, very much!!

  • Please help: Course loads very slow and takes almost 100% cpu and 1.08 GB memory

    The total page number is 129. We used Captivate 5.5. We have several Webpage widgets and a few videos. I tried to take out the web widgets and the videos, however, the course still loads very slow.
    I would really appreciate if someone can give somve suggestion.
    Thank you very much.

    Captain Ibuprofen, we actually continued having the slowness problem in the past week. Then one of our developers found out the reason: as same as yours, caused by the page number widget. I wish we would have seen your response earlier. But yeah, so now we took out the page number widget and everything goes normal.
    Also thanks for the tips on using the cpInfoCurrentSlide variable when adding the slide number. Thanks Andy.

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
    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 =)

  • ITunes downloading very slow.

    Hi guys,
    I've experienced a vast decrease in speed on my iTunes for downloading apps and even using WiFi to download apps/updating them.
    Are there any problems currently with iTunes stores? Because this is the first time this has happened. I'm from SGP and my ISP speed is 15MBps. Appreciate if there's anyone out there who can help. Thanks alot.

  • App store loading VERY slow or not at all

    Hello.. I hope someone here can help me. Since i upgraded to ios 4 i have been having problems with the app store. It either takes 5 to 15 mins to load then another 5 to 15 mins to update or download an app or it doesn't load at all and kicks me back out to the main screen. seems to be only happening with app store. I have updated to the newest ios, done the soft reset, restored it in iTunes, changed my dns server and just about everything else i can think of as well as everything i have found on the internet. Any1 else having this problem or heard of it ? Or any1 know how i can fix it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I was using iOS 4.1 on my iP4 since last Oct., apart from the sporatic wifi connectivity issue, all was well.  The wifi issue kept persisting and nothing I did fixed it (did all the standard troubleshooting...again).  Apple Care said I had to update to (at the time) 4.3.3 before they could help me.  So I did, didn't help any, but I also noticed how certain things I did was lagging. ie. flipping through the screens, launching and quitting of apps, and yes, accessing the App Store.  Everything was taking about 3-4 second longer.  .  Apple Genius noticed the connection issue as well as the lags, so gave me a new iPhone 4 with 4.3.3.  Lags are still there, and App Store is very slow.
    As the OP mentioned, it would take forever to just load up pages, when you go to update your apps, you hit Update All, it looks like your phone just froze on you.  You can't do anything but hit the home key and go out of the App, and try again, but you still run into the same issue.  But if you leave it for about 30-40 sec, it will eventually continue.  Or boot you out of the App Store and you have to start all over again.  Been like this since June, everytime I go to the App Store.  Could be first thing in the morning to 3am, makes no difference what time you go on, it always lags.  Does it both on wifi and 3G.  Note though, accessing the internet on the iPhone isn't laggy.  I would have thought about updating to 4.3.5, but heard that didn't resolve anything.  And since iOS 5 is around the corner as with the iPhone 5, I'm just grinning and bearing.  As what a lot of iPhone users have been doing as of late.  I really do hope that the transition to iOS 5 goes much, much smoother than it did for iOS 4.

  • Initial search on ITunes store very slow

    We're using ITunes 7.6 on a Windows Vista PC. Users without parental controls can access the store with no issues. Kids accounts, though, can access Itunes and the store, but the initial search is very slow - 10 minutes on a 6 MB DSL connection. When these searches finally complete, access is then at expected speeds - a few seconds per request. I have not had any successful tips from tech support yet. We have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and Quicktime.

    tspatt,We didn't have luck with adding http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/ to the allowed web addresses in Vista's Parental Controls.  We already had apple.com allowed.We still have the same problem with the iTunes store taking several minutes to load.Call me a cynic, but, I think Apple really isn't motivated to find a solution.  I think they like seeing MS product users experience pain.  On the flip side, we already know that MS likes all of it's competitors to fail.If you have Windows XP or Vista and want Parental Controls, the only solution seems to be to use a different music provider instead of iTunes.

  • Downloading from iTunes Store very slow

    I am using iTunes 11.1.3 and download to my external hard drive on my MacBook Pro version OS X 10.9. I haven't had a problem with download speeds until now. Downloading a 22.5mb TV show is taking up to 3hrs. My internet (wireless) is running fine elsewhere in my home. I can watch apple tv via itunes store purchases just fine streaming as well as Netfix. Suggestions?

  • Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Load Very slow

    Hi Experts,
                     We have a slow load issue when loading from a Write-Optimized DSO into an InfoCube. 8 millon recs in 10 hours.
    We check the start, end, and rules routines and every is ok but for all the package the load was very slow in the Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs.
    Can any help me with this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Alejandro

    Hi,
    It is because the SIDs Generation upon Activation flag is unchecked at DSO level .
    One recommendation will be to switch on the property of the DSO SIDs Generation upon Activation flag .
    Are there any secondary indexes also in DSO ?
    You can try deleting them also during loading the data from DSO to cube .
    Also load your master data first and activate it before loading it to cube.
    Thanks,
