ITunes update library very slow

I have my system dual-booting with Windows 7 and Snow Leopard with BootCamp. Windows 7 takes a mere thirty seconds to update my library when I open the program, however OSX takes just under an hour to complete. This process must occur every time I boot to the other OS. I am using 9.1 in both OS's.
What can I do to speed up the OSX update of my iTunes library?

Trust me, regardless of what operating system you're using you're going to always have some issue whether it be big or small. If there weren't any problems with the Mac OS, there wouldn't be a forum. Get a Mac anyway, it's way cool!

My iPod touch is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour.

My iPod touch 4th gen 32gb verson 4.3.1 is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour. I just got it a day ago and I backed up all my apps music and pictures and videos from iTunes. Few months ago I had an iPod touch but I lost it and it was working fine. Luckily before I lost it i backed up everything to iTunes so now everything that was in my old iPod is now in my new iPod. Anyways, When I first bought it I straight away backed up everything and saw that i had many updates on my apps. I started updating it all at once but even the first one was not loading at all and mty ipod was hanging many times during the updates so i cancelled all the updates. i even tried it on my computer and it was taking forever but my laptop does updating and downloading apps slower than my ipod so that doesnt matter. Even when I download an app on my iPod now its take more that an hour. So i was wondering, is my iPod slow cause I backed up too many things when i just got it . I have about 120 apps 150 plus photos and 70 videos and I backed it up all in one night on the day i got my ipod. So now I'm restoring my iPod and updating it to IOS 5 and see what happens. Hopefully it will be faster then but I still need to know what is main problem of m iPod hanging and slow updating/downloading. Need a reply ASAP. Thanks

Still you can switch it off while syncing.
You can also do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

ITunes sync is very slow?

iTunes sync is very slow with several minutes of the spinning color dot. Usually happens during the last step (7) of the sync. I then discover that even though I marked to sync all photos from Aperture file, photos are not synced. iTunes seems to be getting more and more of a problem. Any thoughts?

Why iTunes is running very slow after v10.6.1 update?

Once i update iTunes to version 10.6.1, it runs very very slow... almost to block OS X.
i wonder if iTunes is rebuilding the music library or what, because this is very unusual in apps or any OS X software.
thanks to all can help me in this question.

Hello rcruzb -
I don't have enough information about your situation to really deep-dive with you into a sure fix, but I can at least tell you that I was experiencing similar slowness/freezing in iTunes after updating to 10.6 - and it wasn't fixed in 10.6.1.
I took some steps to isolate my issue, and you might consider taking those same steps (as they might yield a different result for you). Here's what I did to help isolate what caused my issue, along with the inevitable solution I found for me:
- First, if you haven't done it recently, make sure your library is consolidated and organized automatically. You don't HAVE to do this, but it significantly improves performance in iTunes when the library is all in one spot and search indexing isn't spread all over the machine. Open iTunes, click iTunes (in your menubar), Preferences, Advanced, and ensure "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are both checked. To consolidate and organize your library, you can select File (in your menubar), Library, Organize Library, then ensure that both "Consolidate Files" and "Reorganize files in the folder 'iTunes Media'" are checked (if the latter option is grayed out, it just means it's already setup properly that way). Depending on the size of your library, this can take some time.
- Second, you can attempt to rebuild your iTunes Library. This is a simple process which essentially has you create a new library, then take all the content from the old library and pull it back in. This can remedy issues where the iTunes Library itself is bloated, corrupted, or simply trying to search through some broken threads and taking a long time. Rather than flush all of this out here, I'll refer you to the official Apple support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
- Third, and this is what I determined fixed my issue: Turn off iTunes Match and/or Genius Mode. iTunes 10.5 had a known issue where the Genius Mode could become corrupt or would consume massive amounts of RAM, slowing iTunes to a crawl. iTunes Match actually enforces the use of Genius Mode - so I can't tell whether it's one or the other causing the freezing since they run together - so turning off iTunes Match turns off Genius Mode (but not the other way around). If you're using either of these services in iTunes, turn them off and relaunch iTunes. If your situation is anything like mine, you will see a dramatic improvement in the quality and responsiveness of iTunes. If you want to continue using iTunes Match, I'd recommend splitting up your iTunes into two libraries: one for music / iTunes Match / Genius, and one for TV Shows/Podcasts/Movies/Books/iOS syncing. To create a separate library, hold the Option key while clicking the iTunes app in your dock/finder/Launchpad and select "Create New Library". Save it somewhere and be sure to give it a distinctly different name so you don't get confused. Turn iTunes Match on in this new library and let it populate all your music, and use that library for music. When you want other media, hold option again when launching iTunes and say "Choose Library", then select the other.
I hope this helps! It completely, 100% resolved my issues with iTunes 10.6. I know it's not a sure-thing and may not be a universal solution for everyone, but hopefully the steps above at least give you some things to consider that may have resolve or at least narrow down what's happening. Best of luck.

ITunes 10.6 very slow to start up

I installed iTunes 10.6 under Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) and it is VERY slow to launch. I uninstalled it (fortunately I had backed up my iTunes library first) and reinstalled 10.5. It is significantly faster.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and, if so, what is the fix (other than uninstalling it)?

ITunes Match downloads very slow over LTE

Hi, I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4. When downloading iTunes Match songs to my phone it is very slow over LTE taking roughly 1 minute per megabyte. Over wifi it is a lot faster taking perhaps less than 20 seconds per track on average. All other data based activity is fast over LTE so the issue does seem to be limited to iTunes Match downloads and is the same whether my music was matched or uploaded to to icloud.
Any fixes/suggestions much appreciated. I have a brand new handset and restored my phone yesterday. I'm on the EE network in London.
Thank you

Oracle 11G - Update is very slow on View

I have big trouble with some Update query on Oracle 11G.
I have a set of tables (5) of identical structures and a view that consists in an UNION ALL of the 5 tables.
None of this table contains more than 20 000 rows.
Let's call the view V_INTE_NE. Each of the basic table has a PRIMARY KEY defined on 3 NUMBERS(10,0) -> INTE_REF / NE_REF / INSTANCE.
Now, I get 6 rows in another table and I want to update my view from the data of this small table (let's call it SMALL). This table has the 3 columns INTE_REF / NE_REF / INSTANCE.
When I try to join the two tables :
SELECT * FROM T_INTE_NE T2
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM SMALL T1 WHERE T2.INTE_REF = T1.INTEREF AND T2.NE_REF = T1.NEREF AND T2.INTE_INST = T1.INSTANCE )
I get the 6 lines in 0.037 seconds
When I try to update the view (I have an INSTEAD OF trigger that does nothing (just return for testing even without modifying anything), I execute the following query :
UPDATE T_INTE_NE T2
SET INTE_STATE = -11 WHERE
EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM SMALL T1 WHERE T2.INTE_REF = T1.INTEREF AND T2.NE_REF = T1.NEREF AND T2.INTE_INST = T1.INSTANCE )
The 6 rows are updated (at least TRIGGER is called) in 20 seconds.
However, in the execution plan, I can't see where Oracle takes time to achieve the query :
Plan hash value: 907176690
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |

What could explain the difference ?
I get exactly the same execution plan (when autotrace is ON).
Furthermore, if I try to do the same update on each of the basic tables, I get the rows updated instantaneously.
Is there any reason for avoiding this kind of query ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
Regards,
Patrick

Sorry for this, I lost myself in conjonctures and I didn't think I would have to explain the whole case.
So, I wrote a small piece of PL/SQL that reproduces the same issue.
It seems that my issue is not due to the UPDATE but to the use of the IN predicate.
As you can see at the end of the script, I try to join the 2 tables using different technics.
The first query is very fast, the second is very slow.
I need the second one if I want to do any update.

After 10.5.2 update, computer very slow

Downloaded/installed update without incident. Microsoft Office programs are now very slow to open and very slow to perform certain tasks, like trashing an email. Emptying trash in the Finder sometimes works/sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't, I get a dialog box saying "You can't open Trash because Trash is being emptyed" or words to that effect. Force quitting hung aps usually does not work. It is sometimes possible to shut down or restart using the commands in the Apple menu but I've had to just power cycle the computer twice today when the commands didn't work. I tried verifying permissions but even that seemed to hang. Verifying the disk worked and it says the disk is ok. Any ideas on how to solve this? It almost feels like I've run out of memory but Activity Monitor says otherwise. Stumped.

I had some of the exact same issues. After I installed the 10.5.2 update and noticed these issues, I ran Software Update again and found a "Leopard Graphics Update 1.0".
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/leopardgraphicsupdate10.html
Once I installed this graphics update, my computer was back to normal.

ITunes on XP VERY slow!

New to this, so I apologize if I'm beating a dead horse, but I need some advice.
Two things.
1) iTunes is very slow connecting to the store or changing locations within the store. Its okay on downloading songs (not great but doesn't take minutes like switching pages does). I have a cable modem, lightning fast with everything else. Highly optimized. But iTunes just sits there for minutes when I change from, say, "Rock" to "Pop". I've tried running a blank system: no firewall, no other applications, no Norton. And no difference. What gives?
2) It doesn't like to exit. I close iTunes, and it cuts the application, but it is still alive and kicking under "Processes"; it generally eats 40-60 Mb of memory and 99% of CPU while in this state. Like right now, I exited 5 minutes ago and the process is still churning away.
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting this thing optimized? And really, what the heck is it doing????
Thanks!

do you read your own TS manuals?
Products Affected
iTunes
Resolution
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
Slow performance.
iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."

Aperture Library Very Slow Copy to LaCie Thunderbolt Drive

Just installed new LaCie Thunderbolt drive and copying various media files to it. Music and video files copied like a rocket. My Aperture folder is copying as slow as molasses. Right now it says 2 days to copy 211GB. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I misread Mtn Ed's last note. My USB2 was stalling out at 2-3 MB per second. Quite a bit slower than the stated Thunderbolt rate to say the least. There is a portion of the Aperture Library that copies at a very slow speed, but after an hour or so it kicks back up to normal file transfer rates. Finder was originally estimating over 20 hours for the copy to complete. Now the total elapsed time will be about 3 hours for 350GB.
