ITunes store runs extremely slow.

Hello,
I just recently downloaded the new version of iTunes, 8.2.0, and have been experiencing some trouble with the iTunes store. It can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes to load something, a new page or anything. This hasn't just been a problem with the new version of iTunes, it has been a problem probably for a bout 4 months now.
I have taken some tries at trying to fix it. i flushed the DNS, ran diagnostics and they all check out according to the iTunes troubleshooting page, made sure i had bonjour for windows, and have tried resetting my computer over and over and nothing is working. My firewall settings also check out because my firewall has been turned off.
Any help would be great. thanks

  • ITunes Store is extremely slow

    Accessing the iTunes Store is extremely slow. Even after emptying the cache, accessing the store or downloading content is slow. Songs that usually take a matter of minutes to download show an estimated completion of 10 to 12 hours.
    Is anyone noticing similar behavior? Any tips or ideas on a fix?
    Thanks.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • ITunes store is extremely slow. Downloads and browsing the store is slow.

    Prior to iTunes 7, I had no problems with iTunes whatsoever. Now, just like many other users, the iTunes store is unbelievably slow.
    When I start up iTunes and select the iTunes store, it takes about 20 seconds to load up the store. If I try to preview a song, it instantly gives me the message "Network Stalled, Rebuffering Stream".
    When I try and download anything, it is painfully slow. It takes about 15-20 minutes to download one song and movies and TV shows are impossible since they will eventually time out.
    I even tried setting my router up using the OpenDNS addresses and iTunes is still slow. I contacted my ISP and they informed me that they are not blocking any ports associated w/ iTunes. Like I said, I had no problems with iTunes prior to iTunes 7.
    This affects both my PC and my laptop. If I plug them directly into the internet without a router it's still the same issue. However, if I take my laptop over to a friend's house who has a different ISP it's completely fine and downloads fast again.
    I've spoken with tech support for my ISP and they tell me there is nothing they can do, and to "hope that iTunes 8 comes out soon"
    So, is there anything I can do on my side, other than the OpenDNS option since it doesn't work? I'm extremely angry at this situation and don't know why iTunes 7 changed something to where it conflicts with so many people's ISP.

  • ITunes Store Purchases Extremely Slow

    When I download a new song, or a podcast, from iTunes I have to deal with excrutiatingly slow download speeds.
    What seems to be happening is that a song will start to download for close to 1/3 of a second at about 2 or 3 MB/s for that short period of time, then get completely hung up for several minutes. To keep from getting -35 errors I have to constantly pause and resume my downloads to get them to complete without timing out.
    I'm using version 7.6.1 and have heard of several issues with this version, but none that really match up with my problem. I've also read about issues with Time Warner limiting bandwidth, but that can't be my problem as I live in Canada so they are not my ISP.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Go to command Prompt -

  • ITunes is running EXTREMELY slow

    I just bought a new computer running Windows 8, I downloaded iTunes 11, loaded my music library, and plugged in my iPhone.
    After erasing all my music on my iPhone in order to sync with my new computer, I understandably wanted to start re-adding my music to my iPhone.
    Unfortunately, everytime I try to add a song, it is a 45 second ordeal, and if I try to add a whole album, iTunes stops responding and I have to force close it.
    I tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, but that didn't help the problem. Is anyone else having this issue? Help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have to agree that there is some major problem with iTunes - I'm totally unimpressed having never used it before and just having bought my first ipod.
    Windows XP SP2, 1.6 Ghz, 2Gb RAM
    Insert any music CD and RIP via iTunes = 100% CPU utilization
    Insert any music CD and RIP via Windows Media Player = 40% CPU utilization
    So I need a dedicated machine to support the ripping of my music? What a joke.

  • My final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help

    my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me.  I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

  • PC running extremly slow with iTunes

    Hello all,
    Question is why my laptop would be running extremly slow with cover flow when it has more than enough horsepower to run almost any application (2.33 dual core, 512 graphics card, 2gig ram). iTunes runs just fine on my work laptop with cover flow, and its specs arent on par with my personal laptop. The only difference i can think of is that the work laptop (the good one) is running xp pro and the home is running vista 32bit. the other difference i can think of is that at home, all the music is stored via external HD while on the work laptop the files are stored locally on the laptops hard drive.
    any advice would be greatly appreciated
    Cheers!

    Vista has been reported to be a bit more buggy/laggy/unstable with iTunes. Music running of an external will also be noticeably slower and more jumpy than running off an internal. You answered your own question.

  • Macbook Pro running extremely slow since updating to Yosemite

    Hello All,
    I am new to the community and I'm hoping your pooled expertise can assist me with my issues. I went ahead and posted the results of my diagnostic scan below. My main concerns are that my Macbook Pro is now extremely slow after OSX updates. Also, laptop is running extremely hot to touch. I have mentioned other ongoing issues. I offer thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Problem description:
    Macbook Pro 13":
    Purchased in mid-2010.
    Most Recent Issue (Main Concern):
    (1) I recently updated OS X from Mountain Lion to Maverick. Computer began running extremely slow and “jerky.”
    (1.1) Shortly after this I updated to OS X Yosemite. Computer runs, and types, even slower than before.
    Ongoing Issues (Greater than one year):
    (1) Extremely short battery life (may last two hours on full charge)
    (2) Macbook runs extremely hot to touch (fan runs continuously but can’t begin to keep it cool)
    (3) SD Card reader doesn't recognize/open an SD card when inserted.
    Lex Cschellings Requested the Following:
    No obvious elements in the list.
    This may well be a dying disk and/or a very bad battery.
    Do following:
    make a new etrecheck list and in the problem description put what Applications->Utilities->SystemInformation says about the battery (under the Power heading in the left panel): give cycle count and battery condition.
    Then post the link in a new thread.
    In the meantime the crash report is probably a French Dictionary issue (font? garcon garçon) you have installed, uninstall that and see if it happens again.

  • Machine running extremely slow

    I am noticing my machine is running extremely slow. Even with out any Apps open my system memory is only at around 30% so not sure where the band width hog is? Looking at the activity monitor there are allot of things going on / most of which I do not know what they are.
    I just ran an EtreCheck - does anyone here know of a way I can stream line my system to run faster and not chock so much?
    Thanks

    I don't read "etrecheck" reports.
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • ITunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this

    iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this?

    I do not have a solution, just the same complaint.  ***!  !    I just used the iTunes store 2 weeks ago and now, after reviewing everything they asked for including ID/Pass/ Account Info etc.  I can't even get into the store.  I have tried asking at the Mac store and it has all been to no avail.  I was perfectly happy with iTunes before all of this ********... seriously what is the issue with iTunes?  They ask me to upload a new version (with no system specs anywhere that I can find on the page)  and then say it can't utilized because of system inadequacy.  It is exceedingly frustrating.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 just started running extremely slow

    After recent OS upgrades and general teenager use, the MacBook Pro all the sudden is running extremely slow.  I am not a really technical person, what should I do to fix? I will start backing up now.
    Thank you
    Matt

    You may be able to improve the speed with some software work but it could also be your disk or SSD is corrupt or failing.
    Try resetting PRAM and SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Is it faster now?  If not, proceed.
    Restart in Safe Mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    If it boots faster then uninstall all unnecessary login items >User&Groups>Login items. Unlock the padlock. Remove them with the minus -
    Also uninstall internet plug-ins in your browsers.
    Is it faster now?  If not, proceed.
    Backup your data immediately:
    Before proceeding you should make sure you have a current backup.  If it has been getting slower over time your disk could be a failing slowly.  SATA drives have two retry modes: short and long.  They can continue operating as read errors are increasing.  The long retry cycle is very long and can cause significant performance degradation.  If it has started long retries then it is likely to get worse and eventually fail.  SSDs also have a failure mode where the fail slowly.

      http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409
    Low disk space:
    If your disk has less than 10% free space or less than 15 GB free it can slow down your Mac.  For information on how to clear disk space see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634300?tstart=30 .
    Disk Diagnosis and Repair; Runaway Processes:
    See Kappy’s suggestions "Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs” at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5635990?tstart=0
    - Directions on how to detect a failing drive
    - How to repair a filesystem on a working drive.
    - How to check for runaway processes hogging the processor time.
    Additional suggestions in "Why is my computer slow?” are particularly good.

    Using Onyx to clear the caches.
    - Step by Step to Fix your Mac:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
              (I learned a lot reading this document.  Good stuff.)
    - A clean install.
    After you have backed up your system twice.
      Preferably with one of the backups being a clone.
      Time Machine restores are complex and can sometimes fail.
      You don’t want to risk all your data on one backup as you wipe out the data on your Mac.
    As part of this clean install procedure erase the disk with Security Option Zero
      that writes zeros to all sectors and remaps bad sectors as it does so.
      That is a time consuming operation, but worth it.
    See https://discussions.apple.com/message/24057867#24057867

    and Mac Performance Guide: http://www.thesafemac.com/mpg/
    Hardware replacement or upgrade?
    Hopefully by now your Mac is back to its normal speed.  If a hardware repair is indicated take it to an Genius bar at an Apple store for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs.  If it is under warranty or AppleCare they will repair it for free.  If not, you can compare their estimate with DIY repairs.
    Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
    or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
    You can speed it up further by upgrading some hardware. (Do not upgrade the hardware if it is still covered by the warranty or AppleCare.)  For the following memory, disk or SSD replacements and upgrades check out OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/, Crucial: http://www.crucial.com/ and Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/.  You will need to know your Mac the year and season your Mac was first sold and model number which can be found here:
     > About This Mac > More Info… > System Report > Model Identifier:
    If your Mac has 2 or 4 GB of RAM, consider an upgrade to 8 GB (if the memory is upgradeable).  An 8 GB memory upgrade is only $100.  When I upgraded a MacBook from 2 GB o 8 GB it booted thee times faster.
    If your Mac has a disk and it won’t repair properly, is low on disk space, or you just want a considerably faster disk, check out an upgrade to an SSD-Hybrid disk. Google "Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch" or consider an SSD (120 to 480 GB).
    OWC has SSD replacements and upgrades for MacBook Airs and Retina MacBook Pros.
    Good luck.  May the software fixes do the trick.

    0. Since you have barely enough Ram, you must be very careful about running too many apps together, and avoid everything that is not really needed, or even not compatible.
    1. uninstall iAntivirus and MacKeeper completely, Counterproductive.
    Uninstall also the Seagate disk software.
    2. you have uTorrent installed and used it. Even worse it runs continuously! This app- as other torrent apps- broadcatsts your data, and the downloaded items are often infected. A mac is much more sensitive than a PC. So carefully examine which apps were so downloaded; and think about it before  using the torrent app again.
    3. In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems   remove ALL  entries, with the minus sign underneath.
    After that restart.
    4. Now uninstall the following:  Growl, smcFancontrol, LittleSnitch, AndroidFileTransfer.
    5. I do not have experience with all those audio and music apps you use, but I expect several are not (yet) compatible with Yosemite. Check that and uninstall what is not ready for Yosemite. Maybe you do not even need some at all.
    6. Rethink which apps are hacked. They may be infected.
    7. In MacintoshHD->Library->InternetPlug-ins  delete the two  AdobePDFViewer plugins.
    8. In MacintoshHD->Library->LaunchDaemons  delete the  Adobe Switchboard plist.
    9. Carefully research the compatibility of Digidesign !!
