ITunes taking extremely long time to import songs via various downloads...

I'm a DJ so I download music from a various amount of sources. When I try to drag and drop them into iTunes, I usually get the pinwheel of death for a while and sometimes the song shows up, other times the program just doesn't respond. I've tried clearing all my cache files (I think most of them) to speed up the process but to no avail. I have my iTunes folder on my 1TB LaCie Rugged external with a little less than half free space and my hard drive itself has plenty of room. I'm not running more than iTunes and Safari and this is still taking WAY too long. I have to load albums one song at a time and it still takes about 5-15 min per song. Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Does this happen also with other CD rippers, like Windows Media Player, Real Player, CDEX etc etc...
Maybe you have enabled 'Use error correction when reading CD's' That can slow things down quite a bit.
Also see if you have set your audio encoding to import as VBR. This can also slow things down.

Taking a long time to import photo(graph)s especially only for new ones...

Hello.
iPhoto '11 takes a long time to import from a Sony digital camera has thousands of photo(graphs). Most of them were already imported, but why does it need to rescan all of them to import the new ones (e.g., 250 of them)? Is the only way to skip is to remove these old ones from the digital camera's memory?
Thank you in advance.

Or use several smaller cards instead of one large one - it is your choice, if you want to use a large card with all your images taking during the year, or use several small cards, with just enough space for one shoot. The small cards are more convenient when importing and usually faster, but the large cards are more convenient when taking pictures and are a nice additional yearly backup.
Thanks.

Taking a very long time to import songs...

In recent months, when I attempt to import songs from a CD, the first 3, or so, songs seem to import fine, but after that the songs take at least 10 minutes to save, and save with a speed of 1.0x at the MAX. I ran driver diagnostics and everything passed successfully. The CDs are not scratched. This happens every time I import a CD to iTunes. Is there ANYTHING I can do to speed up the process?

ITunes taking a long time to open.

Hello, I was just wondering if there is an agent that I can open at start-up so that iTunes opens a little quicker. Is there anything that I can change in my setting on iTunes that would make it load faster? It just seemed to load a little bit to long. Thanks.

hiya!
that is an unusually long time.
okay, have any of the itunes and quicktime background processes been disabled on your PC?
Background processes installed with iTunes 6 for Windows
to check for that, have a look in MSCONFIG:

(note that at this stage we're just checking to see that those processes and services are enabled. no need to disable anything else at this point.)

Using expdp to do a schema export is taking extremely long time

I am using expdp in schema mode to export a 300 gigbyte database.
The job status report 99% complete after about 2 hours .
But now the job has been running 30 hours and is not finish.
I can see that it is exporting the domain indexes and had been exporting
the last index for the last 5 hours. Something is not working because I
looked at the table the index is using and it has no data. So, why is it taking
so long to export an index that has no data?
Can someone tell if there is a way to bypass exporting indexes and a easy way
to recreate the indexes if you do?
I am using oracle 11g and expdp utility.

I checked the log file and there are no errors in the file.
There are no ORA- xxxx error messages.
The last line in the log file is as follows:
"Processing object type schema_export/table/index/domain_index/index "
I just checked the export job run this morning and it is still on the same
index object "A685_IX1" . This is a spatial index. It has been sitting at
this same object according to the job status for at least 24 hours.

Exporting taking extremely long time

Hi,
I have been working with FCPX for about a year and all of the sudden, my files are taking forever to export. I'm exporting the ProRes timeline files by using the Share option. I always export the file with current settings to the desktop. Once it's finished on the desktop, I convert the file to H.264 using a Compressor droplet. I've read that this process is supposed to be faster then exporting H.264 directly from FCP. The files I'm using are about 1-2 hours of 1080i ProRes. For the file I'm exporting now, the estimated export size is 140 GB and in 24 hours of export time it has exported 45% of the file.
I know these are big files, but it never used to take this long to export them. What can I do to speed up this process?
Here's what I'm working with:
Computer:
MacPro5,1
OSX Version 10.6.8
Processor - 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16 GB 1066 DDR3
FCP X - Version 10.0.8
Compressor - 4.0.7
This is my first time posting a question to this community but I have found answers to many questions here before, so thank you.

Suggestions:
Check the amount of free space on your boot drive and media drives. If they have less than 20%, do some archiving. If there is plenty of free space, check the drive speeds by downloading on of the speed apps from AJA or Blackmagic. Also Verify disks and repair permissions in Disk Utility.
While exporting, open Activity Monitor to make sure that you don't have a memory leak. Check free memory and Page Outs.

Time Machine backups taking extremely long time and disrupting other computing activity

I have an iMac running the latest version of Lion (10.7.4) and which I have upgraded to a one terabyte hard drive and full memory capability. I back up to a My Book 2 terabyte external hard drive using Time Machine. My iMac is often very sticky, though I've done most of the diagnostics I know of and preferences etc. are seemingly all OK and fcuk -fs gives a positive result! The Mac is often hard to wake from sleep and in particular seems to spend a lot of time backing up very-very slowly, with the result that it frustratingly seems to be backing up most of the time with the consequent effercts on using other programmes. Also the whole thing seems to grind to a halt after a hard days work with quite a few applications open. I'm wondering what can be causing this and what I can do to overcome this very frustrating and debilitating problem?

Hi
I would try the following for now and I am sorry, yes you were clear that it's an external drive.
Rebuild Spotlight
-Rebuild the spotlight index as per http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409 as a first step. Spotlight indexes play a role in healthy backups so this is why this could be a good thing to do.
- When conducting the next backup, after the spotlight re-index, consider connecting to your mac only the external hard drive and disconnect all other devices to rule out other devices affecting things. I suggest connecting devices back one at a time followed by a triggered backup until the issue fails to reproduce itself.
General Performance Issues
- Some performance issues can also be cured through an SMC reset. This article can help in this regard, note that the steps differ depending on the model mac you use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
--In terms of the mac's general sluggishness
- SMC can help
- open Activity Monitor and check to see if CPU usage is abnormally high or any particular process is consuming an elevated amount of CPU cycles, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5146
Check External HD (backup drive)
- If you've run disk utility and have done a repair permissions and repair disk as per user "Radiation Mac" then there is no point doing it again but this should just be a reminder incase you missed it.
-- on a related note to disk utility try;
1) Mount your external hard drive.
2) In Disk Utility, locate your external backup drive. Your backup drive should mount in the Disk Utility sidebar when attached to your Mac.
3) Select your external backup drive.
4) Click Repair.
Test Time Machine backups against a different drive
--If you have a spare hard drive or even a small USB stick, you could back up only a very small amount of data to this second hard drive or USB stick as a test. This article outlines how to exclude from backups, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Further Ideas
Seeing the logs would be useful if the issue persists. There maybe a reason for the issue but it appears only in the logs which we may eventually need.
I almost forgot
-make sure everything is uptodate with Apple software/firmware and any firmware for your drive if applicable.
If anything is unclear, feel free to let me know, I will provide more details.

Backing up during sync taking extremely long time

i unboxed my iPad, activated, then downloaded some apps straight on the device. went back to sync about 3 hours ago and its about 75% done with the "Backing up" stage in iTunes. its definitely moving, just ever so slowly. reminds me of the slow backups in iPhone OS 2.0
anyone else seeing this?
Message was edited by: nabilshahid

My initial restore from my iPhone backup to my iPad took over an hour. I then added seven movies (~12GB) and synched the configuration changes I wanted on the iPad. That backup only took ~5 minutes on my 2.8GHz iMac with 4GB memory. I plugged directly into a USB jack on the back of the iMac.

Importing Assets from ALER to export to OER is taking so long time

Guys,
I am importing Service Bus Projects from ALSB ant trying to export it to Oracle Enterprise Repository 11g. But when I try to export the configuration jar to Oracle Enterprise Repository using the Harvester tool it is taking so long time.
I have more than 1500 WSDL and XSD (with some circular reference), it is running for 48 hours without finish it.
What can I do to Harvester and Oracle ER be faster ?
Do we have some configuration to turn off validation or something like this ?
Thanks in advanced.

i just downloaded the new update for itunes and the itunes store wont open up it is taking a long time it still hasnt loaded since 5pm, i also cant sighn in either it just keeps on saying accessing itunes....

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:

Time Machine Taking a Long Time to Index / Back Up

I am just curious as to why this is, and what I might do to fix it. I did see one suggestion in another website suggesting diabling spolight indexing of the backup image with sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Time Machine Backups, but don't know where to type that in. It then states to reenable it, but don't know where to type that in, either. Any advice would be helpful. I did run a verification not too long ago, and here's that code.

If any of you have or had a similar problem, I'd appreciate your help. For the time being, I may just disable time machine during the evening, and only have it run during the day when I'm at work.

Is your sig still current (10.7.3)? Or did you update to 10.7.5? Because 10.7.5 had a Spotlight/Time Machine bug that slowed down a lot of backups. If that's what it is, there's now a 10.7.5 Supplemental Update that fixes the slow Time Machine problem.
If it isn't 10.7.5, I don't know what the problem might be.

My external library 100 GB on a 2TB drive is taking a long time to open.

Hey there,
I recently moved my library to an external drive. When I tried to load the external drive, it said it needed to repair and I let it happen overnight because it was taking a long time.
Now it seems to just freeze when I try to load the external library. Can someone let me know if there is something I can do to make this process speed up? Should I move some of my projects to another library and keep it off-line?
Thanks,
Austin

Could it possibly be due to videos stored in the aperture library? I think one of the folders has multiple GB of video... Just a thought.
If Aperture is freezing on opening, this can be caused by corrupted or incompatible media, but it would not explain the original error message your reported - "permissions".
When the repair finishes, try to launch Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If media cannot beprocessed, Aperture will hang, when it tries to generate the previews for those images or videos. If you can get Aperture to launch after deferring the preview generation, you could open the Activity window (Window > Show Activity) and then selectively try to generate previews for your last imported images and videos (Photos > update preview). The Activity window will show, what is currently processed, and perhaps you can spot, which of the files is causing the hang.

Time Machine Taking a Long Time to Index

Hi everyone.
I first noticed this today. My Time Machine is taking a long time to index. It's stuck on "Waiting for index to be ready (100)" for about 10 minutes at least, it seems. I did notice earlier today that it had to delete old backups to make space for new backups, and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. I'm in the process of doing a verification now, but here's the code from two backups earlier today.
Here's the one where it had to delete backups to make room for new and future backups.

I'm backing up to a Time Capsule over WiFi. This time capsule has a total of 3 laptops that are backed up on it.

Never mind. Whatever it was, it's fine now. We'll see what happens when it has to delete old backups to make space. It's down to about 720 MB free without removing old backups.

Why is itunes taking so long to update 11.1.4?

Why is itunes taking so long updating the latest version of itunes 11.1.4 ?

I have this same exact issue, however only with music. It happens when files are added in anyway: dragged, automatically added, opened from safari.
I have Mountain Lion, a new MacBook Pro with Retina, and iTunes Match turned on. I have a feeling iTunes is trying to match/upload the songs first. I've just added 10 songs, iTunes said they were copied over but they don't show up in my library but I can see the cloud icon "working".
EDIT: That's not the reason, the songs finally showed up but they are still waiting to be matched.

ITunes taking extremely long time to import songs via various downloads...
