ITunes ver. 7.0.1.8 - uses half of my resources !!

Okay I got the garbled audio with 7.01. Did the fix and updated to 7.01.8. Now the audio/sound is fine. But when ever I run itunes it hogs half to 60 percent of my cpu. And running anything else, such as browsing the internet puts the PC to the wall, running at 100percent. Talk about slow. Is this me, does anyone else experience this problem?
Granted iTunes always was a big cpu user, but nothing like this with version 7 !!

It was suggested at iloungethat i uninstall quicktime and reinstall it with version 7.1.3 and to uninstall and reinstall iTunes with 7.0.1.8. Okay...did it. Same issues remain, in fact for some reason I am back to garbled audio and the cpu hog issue remains. I am going to try the quicktime disable of direct 3d suggestion. take 10 deep slow breaths, I'll get back. LOL.

    Should the advice above not fix things for you...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • ITunes (ver 11.04) rip fails with compilation CDs that has over 18 tracks.

    I've starting re-ripping my CD collection to the Apple Lossless format and I've notice that everytime I tried to rip a CD (mainly compilation or box set CDs that has more than 18 tracks on a CD) tracks from 19 and 20 will take days to rip. iTunes will show the running time on the last two tracks as #19 with 1:15:38 and track #20 either 30 minutes or 15 minutes (depending on CD). I am using an external CD drive on a Intel MacMini more (ver 10.8.4) with iTunes (ver 11). I've used two external optical drives (each one a different manufacture) and I get the same results with both drives. I checked for firware updates for the LG optical and I couldn't locate it on the LG website. My HP optical drive firmware didn't need updating. Help! I'm forced to use my Linux box to to rip them and then convert them to Apple Lossless and then transfer them to my mac! Thank you all in advance for your repsonse!

    Never mind, I borrowed a neigbor's USB powered "portable" external optical and it ripped two CDs that has 18+ tracks without any problems. What are the chances that I have two, heavy, stationary exernal drives that have the same issue! (Unless they're manufactured by the same company for different brands....h-m-m).

  • I have a ipod shuffle synced to a desktop (ver 9), I have a new laptop and downloaded itunes (ver 10.7).  When i plug the ipod in the new laptop it wants to delete my songs. How do i use my new alptop and ipod together?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Itunes uses half cpu on xp

    iTunes 10.5.0.142 is using 1/2 of the memory on my dual core HP using XP Media Edition.  Read some forums and found relief by using command "netsh winsock reset".   This removed the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe temporarily but had the side effect of impacting Internet Explorer - it couldn't find the server.   As soon as I rebooted and the service ran again, IE worked fine.  Anyone with better solution?   Reluctant to delete iTUnes and reinstall.  Others are having same problem, is Apple addressing this?

    You may need to try this More than Once...  Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
    Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
    If the issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

    ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."
    reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
    help!

    I have also had the same problem...
    The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
    When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
    This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
    I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
    I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

  • HT5312 Is it possible to make a rescue email for an iTunes account that is currently in use? If it is how do I do it?

    Is it possible to make a rescue email for an iTunes account that is currently in use? If it is how do I do it?

    If you know the answers to your security questions then steps 1 to 5 half-way down the page that you posted from will take you to a screen where you can add one.
    If you don't know their answers then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use those steps to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I have a balance on my itunes account that I want to use but it wants a code (because of a new phone), the card is gone.  how do I use my balance?

    I have a balance on my itunes account that I wan to use before it expires.  I have a new computer and new iphone, so itunes wants a code from the back of the card.  The card is long gone.  How do I use my balance without this code?

    As I said, some items cannot be purchased with an existing credit on an account no matter how much it is.  It can only be purchased with a charge to a credit card.

  • The operation can't be completed because the item "iTunes Library Extras.itdb" is in use.

    I am trying to transfer my iTunes from my PC to my new Mac. After reading through this forum a bit, I followed the instructions at: http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/move_itunes_windows_mac.html
    I backed up my PC's iTunes folder to an external drive after selecting to consolidate files, etc.
    I connected the external drive to my Mac and did a copy and paste of the iTunes folder. I have not put any music into the iTunes on the Mac, so I just said Yes to overrite (it said there are 2 files that will be overwritten- I think they are apps I downloaded this weekenad i am fine to overwrite them). It starts to copy and then I get the error message: "The operation can’t be completed because the item “iTunes Library Extras.itdb” is in use." I verified that I do not have iTunes open on the Mac and made sure that when I backed up from PC, I did not have iTunes open there either.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Katie

    I figured it out!
    There was an iTunes folder on my new Mac. I may have installed it. I just deleted the whole iTunes folder under Music. I then tried copying and pasting from my External Drive again and now it is copying the data as I would expect.
