My big library gets Itunes 7 and my whole pc very slow

Hello,
Since i installed Itunes 7.0.0, i notice that when i launch it, my whole pc is getting very slow. My mouse doesn't move properly.
Il still have the problem with 7.0.1 and 7.0.2...
Then, i thought that i had a big library (nearly 20.000 songs). All my music is inside (all my cds since i am 13 years old !). Maybe it's a problem?
As 20.000 is the number of songs that you can get on an 80GB Ipod, i don't think it should be a problem in Itunes.
I can see Itunes is 95 752 Ko in RAM memory!
Even downloading music i buy and posdcasts from the itunes store is getting very slow
After closing Itunes, my pc gets back its natural speed.
My PC has Windows XP system, 2GB of RAM, AMD AThlon 3700+ (220 Mhz) and frequently formatted and reinstalled.
Help would be much appreciated if you have a solution.
Sorry for my bad english. This is not my native language.

I was trying to solve the same problem on a Mac, and found a slightly different solution. When I tried "Date Modified", I was seeing only the dates when the songs were originally added to my old Mac. So in View Options, i checked the "Date Added" column, which showed me all the duplicates as having been added on the same date. I was able to easily delete these and recover 20gigs of space.

Syncing between itunes and iPad 2 is very slow. Is it because of the new ios 7.1?

Why is it taking so long to sync itunes with my iPad 2.
I have recently updated to the new ios 7.
Tried to delete apps and music using itunes whilst iPad connected. Still waiting for itunes to finish syncing (step 5 of 5).
Thank you for your help.

Yeah, sorry, you're stuck with it. Once it downloads it's there and cant be deleted.
HOnestly, you won't get carplay (and even if you did there are no cars currently on the market that support it) nor will you get the fingerprint scanning. You'll have the option for buttons again, along with a thicker font and a couple of other visual things.
The only way to keep updates from being manually pushed out is to keep your device full enough that there's no room for it to download.

My mac book pro getting heated and starting up is very slow please me

MY config....please help me out
its heating too much

The temperatures that you iStat pro shows are not out of line for video and games. When internal temperature start approaching and exceeding 100c, then there becomes cause for concern. Never the less, run an Apple Hardware test:

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

How to get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my file organization alone

I’ve organized my MP3 files for iTunes (using Mac OS 10.5.6) on a MacBook Pro. I did this manually since I have over 600 folders and thousands of song files. iTunes had created a mess. For example some albums were split up into different artists, composers or album names. Some files names began with a space or a dash, so they were our of alphabetical order. There were all kinds of nonsence with duplicated files etc. Once I got things all cleaned up and orderly I tried to make a backup of the master list by copying the files to a peripheral hard drive. The backup folders instantly reverted and even compounded the chaos that I had just fixed! If I delete all files from iTunes and reimport I end up with the same mess. How can I get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my organization the way I want it and not revert to the old mess?

I don't understand.
If you uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder...* and *Keep iTunes music folder organized*, iTunes will not mess with the files unless you are RIPping them from CD using iTunes.
How do I change the tags so they are organized the way I want.
I don't know how you want them organized.
iTunes uses the tags and puts them into Artist/Album folders based on the ID3 tags.
If you are not using iTunes to organize stuff and simply naming things as you want, tags are irrelevant to how you put the files into folders and what you name the files.
When I copy the master list (with my organization) from one peripheral drive to another the files show up with the old names and folders.
Okay.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?
I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac to latest on 02/15, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow. even 5 mins song takes 10-15 mins to start. Netflix/Youtube work fine on Apple TV. restarted Mac, router, modem, appletv. reset Appletv to factory setting and re-start.

Apple TV 2 does not appear in iTunes (exception being when connected via micro-usb for restore) as it has no sync capabilities.
See if this helps

I upgraded my three year old ipad to IOS 8 and it's working very slow and irregular, can I go back to the old settings?o

I recently upgraded my three year old ipad to IOS 8 and it's working very slow and sometimes freezes. Can I go back to the old system?

No, downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.
You could see if any of the following improve things :
- closing apps via the iPad's taskbar : iOS: Force an app to close.
- if having problems with Safari, clearing its history and data : Settings > Safari
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
- backing up (and copying any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) and restoring
- adjusting settings e.g. turning 'reduce motion' on (Settings > General > Accessibility), turning off 'background app refresh (Settings > General), turn off multitasking gestures (Settings > General)
- resetting back to factory defaults (after copying off purchases and any documents, photos etc that you want to keep) and then resyncing it back

Have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow. I don't know what's wrong!

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow. Have no idea what's wrong or how to fix. Op Sys is Apple, OS X, ver 10.9.1.

If so, then see:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mave ricks/
For PSE 11 you want to get
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 settings
if you use organizer, also
com.adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist
com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer11.plist
If you use raw, Adobe Camera Raw < version > Prefs
and any lockfiles with the same names.
Since you've already run PSE, go into the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.
Also go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure everything there is off (except face recognitiion, if you use that).

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow

When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow. Mails take a long time to be send and receive, and the mail boxes disconnect frequently. I am using the yosemite mail server and don't have this issue with user with Maverick.
Many Thanks

So let me see if I understood it right... In Mavericks you didn't had this issue, this only happens in Yosemite and you are using Apple Mail, not another mail client. Have you tried in System Preferences > Internet Accounts unchecking and rechecking the email checkbox on your account?? If that doesn't works try deleting and adding your account.
Sorry for the bad English

I have a pc and recently bought an older mac pro - probably 2009 model. I cannot seem to get my library from Itunes to open on the Mac like it does on the PC when I bought a new one I just downloaded Itunes and my whole library came up.

I can't seem to get my Itunes Library to come up on my Mac. When I bought a new PC last year I just downloaded Itunes and all of my previous library came in but that isn't happening with my Mac Pro. Is there an easy way to do that?

Have you copied your content from your other computer?

I needed to update the software on my iPhone4 so I could get icloud to save all my stuff so I can upgrade to iPhone 5, but when I did it did a restore and now all my stuff is in my library on itunes and I can't access it

I had to update the software on my iphone 4 so I could get icloud and backup everything on my phone, so I can go this morning and get an iphone 5, but when I did it did a restore and took everything off my phone, like aps, pictures and music. They are in the itunes library, but I dont know how to get them back on my phone. It only allows me to sync with my phone, which is empty???
Can anyone help me?

If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.
