ITunes very slow downloads of apps, podcasts, and music with library stored on a Windows Home Server (WHS)

First, some history. I setup a Windows Home Server (WHS) to store all my media. I had configured itunes to store its library at \\server\music (this would be whatever shared folder you choose to store your music on for your WHS (and possibly NAS box)) and itunes was managing my library. Once everything was imported into the server, I found I was getting horrible speeds for downloading apps, podcasts, and music. We are talking 10 minutes to download a 14Mb file on a Fibre connection where I consistently get 25 to 30Mb / second performance. Syncing my iPad / iPhones was a nightmare due to the time needed to be invested in it.
The server, the PC, the router and corresponding switches were all gigabit and yet I was getting dial-up speeds. Transfering files between systems was well within spec, but itunes was running as if it were using smoke signals. I spent some time searching various user groups and support sites to no avail.
To correct this, I only had to log onto the WHS (or NAS) and disable the iTunes Server.
Reboot of the server, reboot your iTunes PC, and you are good to go. My podcasts went from a 20 minute download time for an average episode of T.W.I.T. to about 7 to 10 seconds.

UPDATE
Please disregard the above. While the above did improve performance for a short time, the problem returned. I spent the next week running a full Spinrite on all 4 1TB HDDs that were in the NAS. All drives were fine. I then did some research on the individual drives, and it turns out that 3 of them were 7200RPM Hitachi's and the latest drive added was a 1TB Western Digital GREEN drive (WD10EADS). This was the source of the issue.
Additional information available at http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32179
I replaced the WD10EADS with another 7200RPM drive (seagate this time) and the NAS has been working flawlessly again (again, disregard the above post)

Hi, Please let me know if the update 5.1 available to Middle East Region, Dubai? I just checked and it says your iOS 5.0.1 is up to date. Thank you.

Thank you
I was trying to do the update from iPhone itself without connecting to iTunes.
But when I connected to my laptop and to the iTunes, it worked well. Update in progress...
Thank you for the quick response.

Have FF 3.1.6...less cumbersom. Lately it's been freezing up and is VERY slow to open. What's up with that?

Have FireFox 3.1.6...less cumbersome. Lately it's been freezing up (can't close page without using Ctrl, Alt, Delete) and it is VERY slow to open. What's up with that?
Have made no system changes. Have Avast for antivirus,. which updates itself regularly.
Run Sys Defrag a few times a week. Don't know what else to do other than uninstall and reinstall.
OS = XP Home

Have 2009 time capsule with 6 month old iMac very slow cox said i needed to replace with a new time machine with newer wifi ??

have 2009 time capsule with 6 month old iMac very slow ...cox said to replace with new router or extreme with new wifi ???? confused

Replace the Time Capsule with a new one or replace your router with an Airport Extreme Base Station that has faster Wi-Fi. Or you could just connect your old Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection from the Time Capsule to the computer's Ethernet port.

ITunes very slow when updating ID3 tags

Greetings,
I've read about iTunes taking forever "processing file" when people have downloaded songs, but haven't seen a reference to this problem when changing the ID3 tags for songs within the program.
Sometimes it will take many seconds to complete this task, often with the "processing file" box showing up and sometimes with the spinning pinwheel too.
This hasn't always been such a slow process. Usually in the past my tags got updated instantaneously, even if I was changing, say, the album info for a whole batch of songs. More recently, iTunes has been consistently slow in carrying this out.
Any insights would be appreciated.

I also noticed that when iTunes updates the files, it opens multiple little windows with progress bars (I think so because I see only one window but with a very significant shadow -- which look like if there were several windows stacked).
I SINCERELY hope I'm WRONG when I think iTunes does all the updating in parallel, regardless how many songs there are to update............? That would explain a lot...

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?

Recovery very very slow on the physical standby recently

The standby was running fine for over a year. But recently the recovery became very slow. It took over an hour to apply one archivelog causing the standby falling behind. What could be the cause and solution?
Thanks!

Before I go further with my comment, I would recommend to open a SR with Oracle and have them help you to resolve the problem.
You said that the archive logs are being applied, however the apply rate is slow? Is this true?
Since you are applying the archive logs, it looks like your protection mode is set to ASYNC Maximum Performance.
Can you check if all the logs are being shipped to the standby without any problem?
There are couple of DG healthcheck scripts available on Metalink.
Metalink Note 241438.1 Script to Collect Data Guard Physical Standby Diagnostic Information
Metalink Note 241374.1 Script to Collect Data Guard Primary Site Diagnostic Information
Can you run those scripts? If you feel comfortable, publish the output of the scripts on this tread, otherwise review them. They may give you some clue on what might be going on.
Also check v$dataguard_status view.
select *
from v$dataguard_status
where severity in ('Error','Fatal')
order by timestamp; If you are not able to run the scripts due to database hanging state, as you described in your last post, try to determine why the database is hanging.
In this kind of situations I usually use HANGANALYZE that will generate trace files for all the running processes. It may take a while until you review these files. Especially pay attention to the RFS process.
SQL>oradebug setmypid
SQL>oradebug unlimit;
SQL>oradebug hanganalyze 266For more information on how to use HANGANALYZE refer to Metalink Notes: 175006.1, 452358.1 and 61552.1
However, if you haven't used oradebug before or don't feel comfortable using it, you better don't do that and wait on instructions from Oracle.
Also, as always, check the alert log file and the data guard log file (drc<sid>.log).
Cheers,

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

Why there are no worlwide clocks widget for middle-east region?

Hi,
I am trying to add a new clockword to my dashboard. I am looking for the coutries in middle-east but cant' find them in the list. I have only America, Africa, Asia etc.. but nothing related to Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria etc... Why?
Thanks for any help you can provide
Cheers!
M.

Hey all. Thanks for the replies! Here are mine to yours:
Erik: Not the video.
Erik: I checked the plug ins. Nothing there, but I did do what you said and moved the regions to new tracks, muted the old ones and got the results I needed. I will take the No Imput advice, too.
LEonard: No hidded tracks. I know because this occured to me and I went looking! No such luck.
Q: I'm going to look into this one and I will let you know.
All: I find that Logic has a way of screwing with me in this and similar ways. Often tracks will play ghost music, regions that used to play suddenly dont. Tracks unexplainably become "Safe soloed" and even certain edits seem to vanish. It's a little weird and I don't know why. But I cant afford to switch to ProTools, so I'll have to learn to live with it. Maybe I neeed better templates?
Thanks for all your help!

ITunes, very slow and laggy

Why is iTunes crap for Windows but runs good with Mac. If apple is going to make iTunes for windows they should maybe try to fix it first, iTunes lags a lot and freezes many times. Its the only program on my computer that does that. Apple should fix iTunes for windows. iTunes is maybe another reason why my songs are gone from my iPod.

Well if its running slow and freezing, it and/or quicktime is conflicting with something, like windows, the CD drive, antivirus/security programs or some other software.
Try defragging your harddrive. Leave iTUnes closed and oopen Quicktime to see if it opens or throws an error message up when playing something in it. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (Version 6.0.4.2) by going to help>aboout If you don't have the latest goto apple.com and download it
Also goto the PC makers site and download the latest updates and patches, some systems have patches that directly address iTUnes issues

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.

MacBook Pro - Very slow, Full RAM, Fan is constantly on - With EtreCheck, etc.

Hello everyone! Thank you all in advance for any type of help or advice, I appreciate it a lot.
I am using:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
Running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Macintosh HD has 294,08 GB free (out of 499,25 GB)
I am a student, using my MacBook constantly during the day. Applications that I use daily - Safari, Word, Outlook and Finder are always on; a lot of the time I am also using Photoshop CS6, Skype.
Ever since the update to OS X Yosemite my MacBook did slow down noticeably. I left this issue unattended as I was using uni computer at the time. Recently I returned to the actual studies and design work on my MacBook. I couldn't cope with how slow it was, ended up in forums looking for the solution. I tried a couple of things already (was restarting/shutting down computer in-between these tasks):
1. Disabled FileVault (it was on for moths, I had no idea of what it is), completed the decryption process (it took around 10 hours).
2. After that I ran EtreCheck, that found a couple of actual and potential issues, I more or less sort it out, will attach the new report in the end of the post.
3. Tried to disable Spotlight to affect mds, not sure it worked.
4. Moved to Trash apps I wasn't using, properly uninstalled only a couple of them. Emptied trash.
5. Erased Safari history that emptied about 500MB of RAM, but then it went back to almost 3.98GB full out of 4GB.
At the moment I only have Safari on and kernel_task takes 570MB of memory, used RAM is 3,88GB out of 4GB.
Fan is constantly on, MacBook is very slow. If I understand correctly RAM is the main issue, unfortunately being a student I am not able to buy and install more memory. I also understand that Photoshop takes a lot of RAM memory, what can I do about it? Photoshop is a crucial app for me.
Is there a way to free some of the RAM memory and make my Macbook faster? Would a clean Yosemite install help? (Can Yosemite at all perform properly on a MacBook with only 4GB memory? What will help it run faster?)

Let Spotlight finish indexing your HDD. Stopping it is pointless.
Regarding the fans, it is always running when you turn on the MBP. It is a question of how fast. If there are light loads on the CPU, the fans should be near silent. If otherwise, try a SMC reset.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
If that does not slow the speed at very light loads then there are other reasons that need to be explored.
If you cannot instal;l additional RAM (your MBP will accept up to 16GB) then you will have to accept slower performance. Yosemite is a RAM glutton. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are Owc and Crucial.
Time Machine or any other backup is only necessary if the data you have on your MBP is important. Ask yourself this question: What will be the degree of inconvenience should the internal HDD fail? All hard drives eventually fail.
Ciao.

Very slow disk performance in Bootcamp 2.1 with XP Pro SP3

Tried bootcamp today and for some reason disk access is painfully slow. XP shouldn't have these issues on such a fast machine. Is this a known issue? Is there a work around?
As it stands XP cannot be used for anything useful due to poor disk performance.
Any help greatly appreciated.
RobP

After more digging around I discovered that Bootcamp was operating my hardrive in PIO mode rather than Ultra-DMA - hence the very slow performance. I tried looking for drivers but failed. In the end I installed Vista Premium 32bit and everything now seems fine.
I wonder if bootcamp will get updated to give XP users the full speed of their Mac Pro drives?
Either way, I'm now sorted

Adobe Illustrator CS6 MENA (Middle East North African) version with support for Hebrew text

Hello, I have a questions. I work for Kao USA. Currently a number of of our employees have Adobe Illustrator CS6 (all Licensed). How would we go about getting the Adobe Illustrator CS6 MENA (Middle East North African) version for Mac machines? Also, would this be included within the same license or would it require us to purchase new licenses altogether? Thanks

In CS 6 this is stille a separate software.
You better take the international CC, than you have the languages to.
