Itunes VERY SLOW creating iphone version of a video

I used HANDBRAKE to convert a 43 minute video from .avi to mp4, supposedly optimized for ipod/iphone. When I tried to sync the video I could not. I also tried to just drag the video from the itunes video list to the phone, this did not work either.
Next i chose the advanced options in iTunes and clicked on "create ipod or iphone version".
This is taking an extraordinary amount of time. The first attempt went on for about 2 hours and only got through about 2/3 of video. I cancelled the conversion, restarted the computer, and started again. The computer has been working on this task alone for about 30-40 minutes and seems to have converted only about 15-20% of a 43 minute video, from MP4 to iphone mp4.
IS THIS NORMAL ????? SHOULD THIS PROCESS BE MUCH FASTER ?
IS THERE A BETTER WAY ???? WHY DID HANDBRAKE NOT WORK (when it says it is creating an ipod version)?
Thanks for any help and advice !

Install Perian from here http://perian.org/ it will help quicktime play avi files then you can export from quicktime to iphone m4v format. Then just drag file to itunes icon in the dock. Make sure you do nothing else on the computer at the same time. Video encoding is very cpu intensive, and should always be done with nothing else running at the time for best performance.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.

How do i create an ipod/iphone version of my videos in the new itunes?

In the new version of iTunes, there is no "advanced" drop-down menu, where i can click "create ipod/iphone version" to convert the selected video into a format compatibe with my 4th gen. ipod touch. The videos are already in a mp4 format, but won't sync > itunes just says they're not compatible my ipod. I have also noticed that all the videos added to my library after the update, are being copied to "Home Videos" and the usual file location.

Select the video. Then:
File menu -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version

Can't recover songs and itunes very slow

My computer crashed and had to be totally restored so I lost itunes and everything. I downloaded it again and proceeded to try to sync with my nano. First of all, itunes was running way slow...so slow that I thought the computer was freezing but its not. Itunes is the ONLY program that this happens to. When I plugged my ipod in it said it wasn't synced with this computer and gave me two options to sync it, both of which would have pretty much wiped everything off of it.
I did some digging and found that I needed to get some software to pull the songs off of my ipod and put them back in itunes. I opted for Media Widget and it worked very well. It pulled all of the music off of my ipod and put it back into itunes. When I synce my ipod with itunes it started uploading the songs as expected but then I started getting messages similar to "this computer is not authorized to play (name of song)." I started looking into it and it is all of my purchased music from the itunes store. Its all in itunes but it won't upload to the ipod. So I thought I'd just create a few audio discs from the purchased playlist and then rip them into itunes and remake the playlist. Nope, itunes won't let me burn those songs to a disc, either.
So, I'm frustrated and a little angry that I can't get music that I paid for back onto my ipod. Anybody have any suggesions? Also, why is itunes running slower than molasses in January?

It seems I just needed to do a bit more digging. All I had to do was to authorize my computer in itunes and it loaded all of the songs to my ipod and everything is working again with the ipod. Itunes is still painfully slow and I can"t figure out why. It's the only program that runs like that and it was pretty slow even before my computer crashed. Anyone have any suggestions?

ITunes very slow

With version 9 iTunes has become very very slow and is often unresponsive for a few seconds when I switch to it from another app. Any ideas for optimization? (I've turned off Crossfade, Sound Enhancer, Sound Check, and Sharing.)

If you have a big library (tens of thousands of songs or more) then itunes will get slow. The bigger the slower.
I assume you are running on your macbook. How much memory does it have? The delay you see when switching to iTunes maybe due to lack of memory and having itunes swap back in. You can use activity monitor to see if memory usage is an issue.
Also, if you are using power save features this can cause a lag (especially if the disk holding the itunes library has spun down) You might want to temporarily disable disk sleeping (and perhaps other power saving features) if you are plugged in. If it helps then you can seperately tune the pluged in v.s. battery settings to get it work as best as possible.
Last time I looked I could not find an alternative to iTunes that was better, but it has been a couple of years since I looked.
Good luck

Whenever I try to copy a MP4 video file to my iPhone 5S, iTunes says it "was not copied because it cannot be played on this iPhone".
I tried using "File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version" and it still can't be copied.

"create iphone version"

I thought clicking this menu item might create a more compressed (smaller) file size of the selected movie, but all it does is cause iTunes to freeze (spinning beach ball). Seems like a bug no?
Peter

On the older hardware you have converting a movie file to an iPhone version could indeed cause iTunes to throw the spinning beachball for an extended period of time. It does not necessarily mean iTunes has crashed, though. It is probably working in the background. Let it sit for a while and it should clear up and you'll have a new file in your library. How long I can't say, but give it at least an hour.

ITunes 10.5, Creating iPod version of podcast makes iTunes not responsive

MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz Intel Core Duo with 4 GB RAM) running 10.6.8. iTunes version 10.5. After downloading a 71MB .mp4 podcast through subscription, when I attempt to make an iPod version of the podcast (Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone Version) iTunes consistently hangs with the spinning beachball. Activity Monitor shows that iTunes has become not responsive, and force quitting is the only solution. In the /Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts folder is a zero KB .m4v file. Curiously, everything works properly on a 10 year old iMac running 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1.

I have a similar setup and after some initial problems, I can tell you that syncing now works for me.
1st-gen iPod touch iOS 3.1.3
iTunes 10.5
Mac OS X 10.6.8
When I first upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and connected my iPod, iTunes didn't even recognize it in the sidebar and it didn't show that I had any backups for any devices. The iPod was recognized by iPhoto, so I knew it wasn't a problem with the cable or something like that.
So I took the advice in the other thread and downloaded the full iTunes installer. I deleted four com.apple.iTunes[xxx].plist files from ~/Library/Preferences/, ran the installer, repaired permissions, and rebooted. To my amazement, when I launched iTunes and plugged in my iPod, it and its previous backups were recognized, and a fresh backup and sync ran without any problems.

Garageband very slow on iPhone 4

Hi,
I just bought Garagaband for my iPhone 4 (running ios7). When I play the instruments, it all works fine. But when I hit the record button, the recording stutters and it is really impossible to record a song. Is there a way to solve this problem or is this app just to heavy for an iPhone 4 and should I try to get my money back?
Kind regards,
Basso

I also have the same recording problem. I think the answer is ios7. I have been using gb and many other musicdaws with audiobus since it was released. No problems as long as i run them with ios6. But now with the ios7 update, GB have become very slow or not responding at all sometimes when running ios7. Ihave an ipad 2. If gb dont release the ios7 support sonn, i will downgrade to ios6 again.

I had to purchase a 4G LTE USB Modem due to a very slow 3G IPhone 4 Connection!

Sorry if I am unable to reply to any of the existing posts, or reply to any replies that get posted here, but I just wanted to let Verizon's Apple IPhone 4 Support team and Community Members know that the reason that I am now mostly using my new Novatel Wireless 551L 4G LTE USB Modem to surf the Internet instead of my Apple IPhone 4 is that I am getting very slow 3G Speeds fom my Apple IPhone 4 all of a sudden, and it is NOT even a year old yet. Anyone who needs to use the Internet on their Cell Phones should know, this IPhone is not for you!

Hello Verizon, just checked back in today to see what going on and I can tell you that my 551L connects just fine at 4G LTE on Windows, still NOT functioning on my Mac OS X, but very happy with my 551L, also very happy with my IPhone 4S, have had some problems with Data Overages due to the fact that my Parents aren't letting me use their Comcast Connection (I live with my Parent's due to living on Social Security and being a Medicare/Medicaid Dual Eligable), other than that I have been fine. I was more than a little annoyed about two months ago when you guys disconected my service but I am over that now, I will however switch to either Sprint or Virgin Moble if it happens again, just to let you guys know that I was NOT very happy with being Disconnected, expecially since I am Low Income and I did NOT have the kind of Money that you were asking for at the time. Just FYI.

Safari loads (freezes loading) webpages very slow on iPhone 4

Hi!
I have a problem with Safari on my iPhone 4 (4.2.1). Since I upgraded to 4.2.1 a week ago Safari is very slow and in 80% of time wont load webpages with first time when in 3G mode with strong bars. Well it loads them but very slowly (It takes approximately 20-30 seconds to load google or other pages). Maybe it would be more precisely to say that it starts to load, than the blue progress bar just stops at around 1/2cm and than after 20-30 seconds it actually starts to open the page and the blue progress bar continues to move. Sometimes (not often) after those 20-30 seconds I get message that page can't be opened cause server stopped to respond...
What is important to my mind is that if I press reload while Safari is loading a webpage it opens fast as it should. So it usually works with second try.
Since I noticed this problem after I upgraded to 4.2.1 I think those two things have connection (4.2.1 and Safari problem) but I might be wrong.
This is happening in different locations around the city and it is not problem with coverage...I have three, four or sometimes even 5 bars 3G.
Anybody having the same problem or can help me with some advice?
Thank you!
