ITunes responds very slowly to music controls

iTunes responds very slowly to music controls (play/pause, previous, next).
It gets extremely annoying because i am trying to pause a song and this actually happens several minutes after pressing pause on the keyboard

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

IPhoto responds very slowly.

iPhoto responds very slowly. I presume is because the application "faces" who is on. how off faces

No that is not it - and faces is always "on" - you can not turn it off
how much free space do you have on your hard drive? Where is your iPhoto library stored? What do you mean by "iPhoto responds very slowly"? Is slow to launch? scrolls slowly? lots of spinning rainbow wheels??????

When I write an email it responds very slowly or not at all. Can this be fixed?

Using firefox 10.0.1 when typing in email (Hotmail) it responds very slowly or not at all. This has happened for the past week. Before that time this was not a problem.

It MAY be that Adobe software slowness problems are caused by having a network
printer as default... with the cure being to always have a local printer as a
default (you don't have to USE it, just have it set to local as default) and
this may be accomplished by using an Adobe Generic Printer Driver

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

ITunes doesn't/slowly add music to libary (can't find it by artist or album), but does add it to iTunes folder and playlists

When I drag and drop music to my iTunes, it starts copying files to the iTunes folder. Afterwards it scan's for loudness and artwork. That's all correct.
But after this I can't find the music in my Library, while it is resulted as search results. Also the songs are in different playlists (newly added and never played).
Only after about 45 min-1 hour the files áre in my library, without me doing or changing anything...
I use iTunes 11, never had this problem with iTunes 10.
Someone got any suggestions? Restarting iTunes won't work...

Do you use iTunes Match? People have reported this can slow the process down.

MS Office is responding very slowly

I am using MS Office 14.3.8 which is a latest update to the product. I find it very had to use as it keeps crashing or reponds very very slowly. When I try to use a couple of shortcuts in the program, it gets ugly and doesnt save my work at all and strucks. I am facing so many problems with MS Office. I tried to use iWork but found to be of waste of time as I am a power user and there are very few options in iWork.

ITunes, on my PC, is responding very slowly.

I just updated downloaded and installed iTunes 11.0.1 on my Windows XP professional PC and all seems OK until I try to access iTunes Store or attempt to turn on Home Sharing or try to do anything where iTunes has to connect to Apple. It takes forever to respond to a mouse click and then all you see is the candy cane line which never stops even after 30 minutes. Has anyone experienced this? I have uninstalled and re-installed and that does not appear to clear up the problem. Simultaneous attempts to access internet web pages appear to work fine, so the problem is not with the internet connection.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Tadpolegreen, welcome to the forum.
You have basically completed all of the diagnostics that I would have recommended. Since the computer is 3 years old it would be a good time to do a System Recovery. You should make a backup of your personal data before beginning. The problem you are experiencing can be caused by installing and unistalling programs over time. Remnants of the programs remain and the computer begins to slow down. A System Recovery will return the computer to its original configuration and it should run much faster.

Computer responding very slowly

I purchased my iMac G5 about 3 years ago but I'm not very computer saavy - sorry. It used to respond quickly (the internet, itunes, iphoto, etc.). Over time I feel that my computer has gotten slower. I seems that I am wait longer and longer for it to respond to the simpliest tasks, especially on the web. I have a cable hookup. I think there is something I should be doing to "clean out" some old data (I'm sure this terminology is wrong - sorry again), so that the computer can speed up. I kind of remember hearing about technics to improve speed. Does anyone have any tips on how to make it respond quicker again? I hope this makes sense?

Welcome to Discussions - you can clean out your browser caches, and if you have OnyX, you can use it to clean system caches. Make sure that you empty your trash periodically, and that your hard drive has at least 10/15% of free space. Perhaps you don't have sufficient RAM? Usually you need at least 1 GB to run efficiently.
Let us know if anything helped,

When typing contact email address into TO: CC: oe BCC: Thunderbird responds very slowly and makes many errors unless typing very slow.

Using Thunderbird v31.0 Did not have this issue in previous version. Previous version responded with lots of pep and got the addressing correct.

My experience after two weeks - just to balance the ledger.
1) Absolutely no problems with reception/signal and the call quality is terrific.
2) The keyboard is wonderful. There are tips and tricks to using it, for instance you don't have to use the Alt key for every number if you're typing a sequence of numbers, just hit the Alt key twice and numbers will be the default. The space bar is in the perfect place for a phone keyboard, much better than in the middle where it is hard to reach with your thumb (we type so differently on a phone than a PC).
3) I have NOT had the phone freeze or lock up once in two weeks.
4) Have not experienced this either - no problems typing replies to emails.
5) Can't comment - haven't used the FM transmitter
6) Music Player is fine for me. I have not experienced any slowness at all.
7) I don't find selecting entry fields in the browser to be a problem and considering some of them are so small I was really pleasantly surprised about this. No problems using the browser at all here.
8) No problems here either. Calibrated my screen first up, find it very responsive. Admittedly I have long fingernails which act as 10 permanent styluses! But even so I play card games with little cards on the screen and hardly any pressure is required in my view.
9) Haven't noticed confirmation messages at all, so I guess they don't impact my use of the phone overly.
Overall, I find the phone a constant joy to own and use. You DO have to seek out the tips and tricks to getting around it and the shortcuts to things, set your homescreen up in the best way for you etc - but I have NO complaints about the phone whatsoever and recommend it highly.

Itunes starting very slowly

i have installed the latest version 11.0.4 on my windows 7 64bit pc. When i click on itunes, it doesnt start immediately, it takes atleast 10 mins to start!!! in the task Manager, it shows that itunes.exe occupies 13k to 20k of memory and when the application finally starts then the memory shoots up to 60k!! why is itunes taking so much time to start??? Please help!!!

Hi Jyoti26,
This issue sounds similar to the one described by this article:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
I think your issue would benefit from the troubleshooting in that article and recommend starting there.
Have a good one,

Mac Mini Snow Leopard "headless" on my home network suddenly responds very slowly.

I run a Mac Mini "headless" (no screen or keyboard) on my home network. It has run perfectly until now. Last week I experimentally tried the newer version of Chicken of the VNC (usual access with Screen Sharing. Since then, responses have become so slow that it is almost unusable although everything else seems to be running fine.
Any ideas?

Hi John,
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?
