ITunes poor perfomance

I am using iTunes 7.4.2.4 on my
Windows XP machine
2Gb ram
AMD athlon 64 X2 Dual 3800+
But still iTunes runs like a pregnant snail in a glue jar.
My library of files is quite big. But still it is very slow compared to other "media managers"/players.
Is there anything I can do to sort this or is there any other application that I can use to manage my iPod?

  • ITunes: poor downloading performance

    I've done all the things Apple suggests to improve downloading performance, but continue to waste literally hours trying to get songs from iTunes. I hear many people complain about iTunes' poor quality. I read tons of blog entries of people complaining. Why do we consumers put up with this? Or better yet, why doesn't Apple ... or someone ... demand this be fixed? I've tried to communicate with Apple on this, but never get an answer. Also, why does Apple make it so difficult to communicate with them? Why isn't there an email "contact us" site so we can provide this type of feedback?

    that is actually very true. plus the fact that h.264, even in HD, plays perfectly in media player 11. i get the feeling the fewer features a mediaplayer has, the quicker it is. i'm not a software engineer but i really have no idea why itunes is wasting so much system ressources on windows. i don't know if it's the same on the mac? i mean yea, you could argue i should get a mac. and how i would love to, but since macs aren't cheap, not even the tiny macbooks, it's out of the question for me at the moment. but i do own a video ipod and bought quicktime pro, sure all the shows i download with itunes look great on the video ipod, but not on quicktime. and i think i still deserve to get the same for my not so old notebook, right?

  • Connceting FMS over RTMPT resulted in poor perfomance of whole application

    Hi,
    We are connecting to FMS 3.5.7 behind the firewall through rtmpt and we have very poor performance over whole application even though we are not playing video in the application.My question is does the rtmpt use port 80 over http eventhough when we dont play video in the application.does it effect performance of whole application when connected through rtmpt?.
    Can you pleae suggest me the solution to imporve my perfomance of the applciation when atleast not playing video in the applicaiton.Please suggest some changes..

    Hi,
    If you are accessing application from outside the firewall It cause problem in continuing the connection with FMS. you can see through wireshark, there will be reconnection very frequently. So, it is better to use rtmps for better performance.

  • Poor perfomance CORBA and EJB in Oracle 8i

    Here are the perfomance results of methods invocations
    (1000 invocations of empty method in an loop)
    Oracle 8i CORBA ~100ms per method
    Oracle 8i EJB ~100ms per method
    Jonas EJB server ~5ms per method
    Java RMI ~3ms per method
    Why Oracle 8i is so slow, even compared with noncommercial
    EJB server Jonas? Is there any way to speed this up? Source codes of perfomance testing programs available upon request.

    Oracle Jserver is quite fast and scalable. Nevertheless, there exists an important overhead in calling a CORBA or EJB method, so you should desing "heavy" functions in your EJB/CORBA objects. Instead of calling 10 times little methods, call one time a hevay one, and you'll find that JServer perforns very fast and reliably.

  • CON2 Poor perfomance

    Hi Guys,
    I have a poor performance when execute the transaction CON2(Module CO), so i spent the run in background mode.
    And still having performance problems.
    How can i improve the performance of  this transaction ?
    My environment

    OS: Solaris 5.9
    Database: Oracle 9.2.0.8
    Thanks!!!

    I think you are at the wrong forum. This is not about the performance of SAP systems but about "Enterprise performance management" software, which has nothing to do with the real performance of your SAP system

  • Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Perfomance

    Having just spent two days rebuilding my iPod's library, twice!, I thought I'd share some advice for anyone who is interested. For some reason the iPod didn't seem to like a playlist I'd made, *Recent & Unheard*, with the rules *Playlist is Recently Added* & *Playcount is 0*. The playlist works as expected in iTunes, but after adding it on to my iPod (and no other changes) my iPod decided I had no music. When I connected it back to iTunes it showed I had 140Gb of Other and nothing else! I assummed I'd just been unfortunate and set about the sorry task of restoring & repopulating my iPod. In stages I put back all my music, videos, TV shows, podcasts, photos, games etc. which went fine. The final stage was to put back my smart playlists since all the media they depended on was now on the iPod. You guessed - it crashed again. ARRGGGHHH! Once was enough - twice was +very, very+ annoying.
    It turns out that all the signifcant information about how your media is organised on the iPod is stored in iPod_ControliTunesiTunes.db. If this file is missing the iPod appears blank, even though all the data is still present. I've read in another post how someone was able to restore a temp version of the same file, but in my case the original .db file was deleted and there was no temp copy to restore....
    So here is the advice. With iTunes closed, backup the folder iPod_ControliTunes when your is iPod is working normally, particularly before adding any new Smart Playlists. If the iPod then decides to throw away the iTunes.db file, which is what mine did, you can pull back your backup copy, change your sync options in iTunes and avoid a prolonged restore job. The only thing I've really lost (apart from the time rebuilding) is my score on Brain Challenge. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I'm sure if I'd backed up the various Games folders in iPod_Control after the first crash, but before restoring the drive, I could have recovered my game stats too.

    Similar situation:
    80G Classic ipod with aout 36 Gigs of music. The ipod was disconnected improperly. all music is intact in itunes. once the ipod is disconnected from the computer, the ipod reads no information whatsoever! the ipod appears empty. When i connect it to the computer again, all the music is there.
    I've put music on the ipod and taken it off the computer, so rebuilding is almost impossible.
    There is not enough room on this computer to save the music files from the ipod and I don't have an external hard drive.
    There is a solution to this promlem. Anyone know what it is?

  • SA540-K9 poor perfomance?

    We replaced a Linksys RV082 using two external a ADSL modems by a SA540-K9, we advice a very poor load balancing and a lot of desconnections, p.e. when we are using FTP, the connection was disconnected, we need to try several times to download files, I update the device to 1.1.42 and made FTP protocol binding to only one WAN interface but the problem still, and the performance is very poor. If I return the RV082 the load balancing and FTP downloads works fine. We thought it would improve with the SA540, but the result is worse.

    Hi,
    In your setup can you please let us know if are you using DNS as a failure detection method. If yes, can we either use none or use ping as a failure detection mechanism.
    Also we would like to collect some logs from the SA540 router. Please log in to the SA540 router and in the URL type with IP address https://IP_address_of_SA540/scgi-bin/dbglog.cgi
    These logs will also have configuration file, so if you would like to change passwords, please do. You can send these logs directly to me.
    Thanks,

  • Any ways around iTunes poor download manager?

    Does anyone else get frustrated that a paused download will not resume from the point it had reached - it always reverts to 0Kb downloaded and starts again. This is particularly frustrating to those of us who must still use dial-up or low speed bradband connections. The download manager for Software Update seems similarly afflicted - with many updates it is possible to navigate to a page from which I can add the download to a manager program such as Speed Download. Is Apple working on improving this limitation? Are there other ways around it?
    G5 1.8Ghz PPC 1.5GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   and 12"G4 powerbook

    I have the same problem as well. For many different reasons I keep getting my connection cut and cant resume the download from where it left off. It's getting really annoying especially when you are trying to get a +450MB file.
    You would think that the developers would have thought to make sure that iTunes and other Apple apps could resume downloads esp since this has been a feature of most internet apps even as far back as the gopher days!!
    I made a previous post about this issue here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=699061&tstart=0
    But so far no one seems to have any practical suggestions or ideas. I wish I could simply FTP the file directly--it would be so much nicer especially with a program that has auto-shutdown features and the like.
    Anyway, maybe if we squeek enough it will be included in iTunes 7.0.X

  • Mastered for iTunes - poor/worse quality?!

    I'm really disappointed with the quality of the Mastered for iTunes songs: Compared to the normal AAC-files they sound markedly less "spatial"!
    I've noticed this especially when I completed some albums - e.g. from Linkin Park. The old files sound in my opinion much better - more "open", "airier", more "spatial", the voices "nearer" and louder - than the new ones.
    Am I the only one with this sensation or can somebody here confirm this?
    A current example is "A Light That Never Comes" by Linkin Park & Steve Aoki: Especially the middle part around 2:30 sounds very "flat" and the voice gets almost lost.

    For each song that had fuzzy bass, I adjusted the "equalizer".
    I tried many settings, synced my iPod, listened, tried another setting....
    (The "POP" setting took away most of the fuzz, esp. on iPod.)
    However, this took quite a while - not worth 99 cents. If I really like a song, I'll buy the CD.
    Thanks for your help - I appreciate it.

  • Win7 Pro x64 and iTunes - poor performance

    Hi all
    I'm running iTunes on Win7 Pro 64bit, and iTunes is terribly slow when I connect either my iPHone 3Gs or my iPad.
    Last night it hung using 14% of the CPU (i7, so plenty of power, far more than iTunes should need) for more than 10 minutes, so I cancelled the sync on my iPad.
    I removed all the Apple software on my PC, and was installing the 64bit version again (same as last time), when I noticed that the installer sees the 64bit version as 32bit. I'm not sure if this is related, but I thought I'd mention it.
    Is anyone else having this problem with 64bit? Any solutions that anyone is aware of?
    Any help appreciated.
    Alex

    That's a blast from the past. (The bulk of my troubleshooting on the nVidia Windows 7 bug was about a year or so ago ... then a lot of PCs started shipping with the hotfix preinstalled and reports of the nVidia chipset thing pretty much died out.)
    Strange though ... although your symptoms are actually more consistent with the nVidia thing than the P55 thing, that particular hotfix only used to affect nVidia chipsets rather than the Intel P55s. I wonder what's going on?
    Ah well ... if it works, it works. Fingers crossed for an end to the trouble.

  • Poor Perfomance  of UWL

    Hi All,
    I am having a problem with UWL performance.
    When user clicks on a work its taking 2-3 mts to open that and when user approves or rejects again its taking 2-3 mts time to point back to UWL. Lets say if I change my Default Cache Validity Period to 1min, I think it leads more performance degradation. Can anyone guide on how to improve performance.
    Regards
    Praveen

    Hi,
    When you create sub views the system determines whether there are additional views with the similar supported item types and which have items assigned to the user. In this case the views are then dynamically added to the sub view. These views can be custom views created by customer and business partners or automatically created views when registering alert items. The system creates one view per alert category. There is a limit of seven dynamically added views per user for performance reason. You can overwrite this limit in the iView property Maximum number of Dynamic views to be added.
    UWL Connector concepts:
    Information reload (hollow items)
    first fetch header data
    then fetch content
    avoid performance problem.
    Please check this document:

  • Snow Leopard Crazy Problems, And Poor Perfomance Issues?

    I got my first G5 a few years ago and it was totally rock solid, and never missed a step, until I traded it in on a Mac Pro to get SL and be able have better performance and the ability to upgrade later on in Final Cuts Studio 3. I have never ever experience such a horror of crap until I installed SL last night. This is the biggest disappointment I have ever seen from Apple!!! Period!,
    1. I cloned a backup to a Free Agent USB Drive, thank god
    2. When I got SL installed by just upgrading 5.8, I got ton on problems like
    a message saying that I need to restart , so I did, and did , and again,
    30 of so more times until, I tried repairing permissions etc, never worked.
    3. I finally erased the drive and tried to reinstall a fresh install, got SL to
    work finally but now I am getting a error message "Your Mac OS X startup Disk
    has no more space available for Application Memory? the interface is slow
    like a window machine! My system drive is 6 gigs, and I have 6 gigs of memory
    4. Now I am cloning to a spare drive from the Free Agent backup and thinking
    about not even using the drive with SL on it.
    Sorry about the whining guys, but this fustrating!, your imput is very much
    helpful, and I thank you all for being here!
    Tim C.

    When you took your G5 backup... I hope you did not use it to (home directory) to then upgrade to SL.
    Reason is that there is a lot of older code and the upgrade from PPC to the Intel was never a clean one. There where a number of posts that addressed this specifically. There is a manual way to move the files from your home directory but the rest, you are better off with a re-install.
    I did the migration from the G5 to the MacPro and it was problematic. Did a few searches and found that this was the problem. Migrated based on the recomendations given on these boards and got all my stuff working just fine and the update to SL also worked just fine... Its all in the process I guess.

  • IPhone is not recognized by iTunes.  would like to backup/sync.  itunes is older version, using OSX.  itunes recognizes pics but not the device.  I am unable to DL the latest iTunes

    Here is the deal, i have not been a good mac owner in the sense that i probably havent had proper updates throughout the years.  Hence, my itunes is out of date and my iphone doesnt get recognized by itunes (poor fella).  but the strange thing is that my other iphones were recognized. 
    Here is the kicker, my cloud has a backup on my iphone and my ipad recognized on the iPhone device taking up 587.2 mb.  IF i delete the ipad will it remove contacts and wreak havoc.

    Your other phones were probably old enough that they worked with the version of iTunes you have. When you buy a device it requires the version of iTunes current at the time of purchase.  A new phone will require a new iTunes which won't run on your Powerbook.
    I didn't think iCloud backed up to a device, the device backs up to iCloud.  Are you sure you aren't simply seeing backups in the Cloud and not something actually on your phone?
