ITunes podcast update maxes out both cores on MBP 2.16

On my new macBook Pro 2.16Ghz, there aren't too many normal operations that will run my cpu cores up to 100% each, but updating my podcasts in iTunes does it every time.
Not even transcoding multiple h.264 video files gets my cpu above 50%. why is it that updating my podcast xml feeds in iTunes maxes out both cores? If it starts taking more than a few seconds to update, my fans kick in and start getting progressively louder until the update completes or I cancel the update. Has anyone one else experienced this? is this a flaw in the itunes binary?
I have about 8 feeds that I'm subscribed to (diggnation, twit, eMacCast, dl.tv, etc).

it only happens when a feed starts to take too long to update (5-10+ seconds). some feeds just kind of hang when its trying to update. it seems like its stuck in a loop or something like that.

Why is the latest update maxing out my CPU

After my Firefix updated the last time to 14.0.1, it has been totally unusable. As soon as it starts it just about maxes out my CPU's. Trying to do anything in it is impossible, menus take 4-5 seconds before they open. If I can get to a web site, trying to scroll down a web page takes several seconds to wait for each click to respond. Even typing in information takes several seconds between key strokes.
I've been a long time user of Firefox, but this has been the worse update and I'm preparing to move to another browser.

What kind of images are causing the problems?
Did you check that it isn't caused by JavaScript that is running on those pages?

Automatic updates maxing out CPU on windows server 2003

Since this last roll out of updates that have come through I have noticed on my 2003 servers that the automatic update service is maxing out the cpu. The updates are simple downloading and are set for a deadline, so the updates have not officially
installed yet. They are all virtual machines running in an VMware environment. They are Server 2003 SP2 x86 machines. Any suggestions would be appreciated. When I turn the automatic update service back on the cpu pegs.

I read that IE and Automatic Updates are correlated and if there is a cumulative update waiting for IE then this can cause the CPU issue. For me I had IE 6 still on my Windows 2003 servers and I installed this update that came out just recently:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=41033
After you install this and reboot, then things settle down and you will see the rest of the updates you've approved in WSUS ready to install (if you have any).
I'm pretty sure this will fix it for you.

Sppsvc is maxing out cpu core

I don't understand why sppsvc has such high CPU usage all the time. When you run loads of virtual machines, it's basically maxing out the CPU. All the windows server installations seem to have this problem (guests and hosts). I haven't installed
anything else; what could be the issue? It won't let me disable so I have to keep stopping it every few hours (Stop-Service -DisplayName "Software Protection")

Hi aaronsace,
Since the high CPU used can caused many reasons, you can refer the following third party article to make a dump to analysis the root reason.

Maxed out MBA vs Standard MBP

I am currently a Senior in High School and we are provided 11" MacBook Air (2012) w/2GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD 4000 Graphics, and 121 GB Flash Storage. I'm most likely going to be attending Belmont University as a Music Business Major. My main concerns are speed and overall performance in a laptop while dealing with high-powered professional software. My current choices would be between a maxed out MacBook Air (2014) vs a Standard MacBook Pro (2014). Also, being a Music Major, should I invest in a decent sound card? Internal or External? If someone could help me, that would be awesome! Thank you!

To be honest I would look at a refurb mbp with a mechanical hard disk, especially for your needs. I suggest staying far away from the newer generations coming out of apple. I do physical data recovery, as in a cleanroom and deepspar operation, and I also repair computers. The SSDs in these new apple laptops fail at a tremendous rate and I can't pull data from them. I had one last week and one this week that had catastrophic failures somewhere on the SSD. The price for a replacement SSD starts at around $450 and goes up to about $600. That's half the cost of a newer mbp.
An earlier version of the mbp will suit your needs just fine and you won't risk losing data to a proprietary and outlandishly expensive SSD down the road. The built in sound on apple products is pretty good but an external USB DAC is going to be much better. I personally use a rather inexpensive soundblaster DAC I got from Amazon.
EDIT: The reason I suggest a mechanical hard disk based storage option is the ease of upgrades to the entire PC. The hard disk can be easily replaced with a standard SSD and the RAM can be upgraded. You CANNOT upgrade RAM on anything made by apple these days - a huge turn off for someone who wants to keep a machine for longer than a few years. The SSDs are upgradable if you'd like to pay out the nose.

ITUNES PODCAST Library wiped out

Several times when I started ITUNES it gives me a message about my Library being unreadable (not the exact words) then completes power up. All my music is ok but the podcasts in my library have all been erased. It has saved them in a newly generated PODCAST restored playlist but all the entries in the Library podcast's are gone so I have to resubscribe to all the podcasts I desire. Any ideas?

hsg,
You took a wrong turn somewhere. This is the Pages discussion group. You want to post your question in the iTunes group.

Beginning of song play causes iTunes to max out CPU and rewrite library

I'm experiencing a strange problem with iTunes for Windows. Whenever a song plays, about 5 seconds after it starts, the CPU maxes out for 20-30 seconds. This occurs either when the next song plays in a playlist, when I manually start a song, or if I've paused a song in the middle and start playing it again. I used a process monitoring program, and it's not the iTunes process that maxes out the CPU when this happens, but the system process, and when it happens it always shows that it's writing to three files, sequentially in this order (with the first two being written to twice):
1) [iTunes Music Folder]/iTunes Music Library.xml
2) [iTunes Music Folder]/Temp File
3) [iTunes Music Folder]/iT.tmp
4) [iTunes Music Folder]/iTunes Music Library.xml
5) [iTunes Music Folder]/Temp File
The "Temp File" has no extension. This is a really annoying problem; it's been happening for about two days, but I can't think of any associated system change. I'm running Windows XP SP 2 with iTunes 7.0.2.16. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I do have a very large library--about 6000 songs. However, it's been that large for a long time, with no problems. It seems like it usually just updates the library when it closes. If it's been doing it on every song play before, it hasn't been taking 30 seconds, but something so small that it doesn't show up on my process monitor, which I'm constantly paying attention to.
It doesn't seem like this is a hardware problem, but some setting or something that got changed to make it rewrite the entire library every time I edit it.
I did check the Windows Event Viewer and couldn't find anything helpful.
A couple other things that I've changed recently that could have an effect:
1) Yesterday I set a bunch of songs to not come up on iTunes shuffle; before I hadn't used this setting.
2) I attempted to make iTunes treat some mp3s as podcasts so that it would remember their play position. In the process of doing this, it decided that it wanted to re-download all of the back episodes of a particular podcast I subscribe to. I then figured out that you can set particular songs so it remembers their playback position, and instead just added those mp3s normally and set that option.
I unset the "don't use this song when shuffling" option for all songs, and also deleted my subscription to that podcast, to see if those things would have any effect, but they haven't. It seems like the podcast thing has something to do with this, though, because I think the problem started around the time that I tried that. Any thoughts?

How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

ITunes: podcasts are not updating automatically

Hi,
My podcasts are not updating automatically in iTunes as they as they should.
My Mac and iTunes are running 24/7, so iTunes it always running. The update interval of the podcast is set to hourly, latest iTunes, latest Mac OS X.
The podcast actually does update if I re-start iTunes or, if I manually update the podcasts (there is always the latest 1 or 2 daily episodes of say NBC nightly news available, but not yet downloaded)... (but this is not a great solution as I am using iTunes through Plex, the Mac is mor a TV/Mediacenter for my family; Plex can access playlists and podcasts in iTunes, but obviously it cannot trigger iTunes to update, so I have to go out of Plex to update iTunes, very annoying)
How can I ge my my podcasts to be downloaded automatically by iTunes.
Thank you for any help!

Here is a screenshot of the phenomenon/problem... NBC Nightly News is not updated, even both the computer and iTunes are running constanly. Once I click update podcast, the podcast updates, so there is an update available.

Since updating to iOS 6, my iPad 2 keeps loosing connection with iTunes. I have tried changing the date, logging out then back in, iTunes is updated.....what's going on???? I can't update any apps nor can I download new ones.....

What's going on with iOS6...... Since I updated to it, I have had nothing but hassles....

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

New Podcast for iTunes Not Updating in the iTunes Store

Hello Apple Community,
My name is Sara Simms, I have recently started a new DJ podcast series called Flight. My new episode has not updated yet in the iTunes store (its been over three days since I uploaded it)
My podcast episodes are hosted here:
http://sarasimms.blogspot.ca
My Feedburner URL is:
feed://feeds.feedburner.com/sarasimmsflightofficialpodcast
I also uploaded new artwork via Feedburner, in the 'Podcast' section of iTunes I see the artwork has updated.
However, in the iTunes store itself, the new artwork is not displayed. Here is the link to my iTunes podcast:
http://bit.ly/VM8tcF
I just pinged Feedburner, hopefully this helps to update everything.
Could anyone else please let me know if there's anything else I should check/change to make sure my podcast episodes are updating?
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes,
Sara Simms

Hello Sai,
You can try below and let me know the result.
I believe you must be using cycle counting method. Make sure the person name of inventory document creator and the person who actually count the document is same. If so then last counting date will be correctly updated. I would advice you to simulate below scenario.
Create the PI document and assign the name of person. And perform the actual counting by another person by exactly same method for which you were getting an error. Then observe the results.
If above solution fails to find out the cause then consult SAP.
Cheer up!! and all the best!!!

I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed. But, I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either. Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window. Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar. No luck.

Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue. It did not help. Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit". That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone. Thanks!

Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8. I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated. Restarted both Itune and iphone....reset phone backup....to no avail.....HELP!

I have removed now all bloatware from laptop, CCleaner run and some more stuff: installed Libre Office, Free Avast, Mozilla Firefox - Spotify was preinstalled. And now this is even better - really simple and fast.
I also removed Ethernet completely, as I don't want to be locked at one place. It's not cool to use laptop on divan sofa. So tired after hour of sitting in uncool position. Wifi speed loss is almost 50%. 95 Mbps I get from 100 Mbps at Ethernet and on Wifi in laptop I get at max 50 Mbps. It's only for end this year this way, then I will slow down my connection anyway as for one person and laptop/smartphone it's way too much of speed for 40 €. With 27€ I can get the same 10M/10M and it will be more than enough. Now I have 100M/10M.
I'm also considering about 50M/10M option for 32.90 €, but I will see what I do. I download now test file 10GB and it loads 30-40 Mbps and sometimes even as fast as 50 Mbps. It depends on server also, but ebven on Google, which works on Ethernet at 95 Mbps, it is on Wifi nothing more than 51 Mbps.
It's also 10GB of 1,100 Offlined tracks, I tested it now. So on trips 32GB card should be enough for my phone. I'm going to one soon :)
