My computer is too slow since I upgraded my iTunes

I've had iTunes for years now and I've never had issues with it, but when I upgraded it to the 10.6 version my computer has been running really slow, I have windows 7 64bits, I uninstalled it and my computer went back to normal. I tried reinstalling the whole thing and it happened again. Now I can't go back to the previous version I had and I really liked to use this software. What can I do to use iTunes without losing my computer full capavility

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

External firewire 800 Iomega HD too slow since Lion Upgrade

Hi all,
Since my upgrade to OSX Lion im having the issue that my external Iomega HD is too slow to even playback my song (only audio files, About 9 Tracks of them). I removed all 3rd party plugins but the issue still occurs.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Any ideas on how to resolve it?
System:
iMac Middle of 2010
4GB 1333 Mhz DDR 3 Ram
External Harddrive is a iomega 1TB firewire 800 disk.
With Snow leopard it worked well... Maybe i was too fast with updating this time...
Cheers

Sorry little addition:
It s about an external fw hd working with Logic- not in general slow performance.

CD-RW is too slow since hardware upgrade

Hi,
I used to have a Pentium 3 800MHz with an old MSI mobo and 768Mb of SDRAM, I could have programs like Photoshop 7, Dreamweaver MX 2004, lots of Internet Explorer windows, Windows Explorer, Winamp 5 and some tray icons with applications running in the background and I could a full cd (700mb) at the top speed (40x) without reporting any avoid of buffer underrun or without slowing down the computer/windows and without the burn process fail (I dunno what ward you use to say this).
Now I have a Pentium 4 + Neo2-LS + 512Mb of DDR (2x256, Linear Mode) and the system has the same programs installed, the configuration is identical and burning cds makes my computer/windows really, really slow some times the burn process fail and I just wasted one more cd, the computer/windows becomes really slow without even using any other applications besides the burning app wich is Nero 6, the burn process even fails sometimes without any applications running besides nero...
What do you think it might be? I have the lattest firmware for cd CD-RW drive, Nero 6 updated to the last version, Intel chipset drivers, IDE drivers and BIOS are all up to date I guess... You think my CD-RW is gone? With just a simple migration of mobo+cpu+ram?
I'm using (and always was) Windows XP Pro + SP1.
Any help is really appreciated

Yes, it's running on Ultra DMA 2...
By the way, I have the CD-RW on IDE2 in master and a DVD-ROM in lave (this one is running on PIO, can't understand why)
I read that link but don't you think it will be a little hard for me to "shout" every single characteristic of my computer and hardware and ehac version a definitions of that stuff? Lots of things I might say may not be needed at all so why can't you just ask what is needed to know and I'll be pleased to answer...
And seriously, I always try to write each of my posts in detail so I can get a fast answer without need to answre lost of questions first but I really don't know what else to say...
can't you just ask you want to know?

Why is my iphone 3g slower since software upgrade...

I know other people who have complained about the same thing that the 3g is slower since the software upgrade a few months back. Why? Everything on the phone is a tad slower since the upgrade. Weren't upgrades designed to improve the performance, not decrease it?

are you up to date with the siftware?
do you have a lot of memory left?
have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

Mid 2009 macbook slow since yosemite upgrade

I am getting a little tired of the spinning beach ball, my formerly well performing macbook is so slow since I upgraded it.
I have 4Gb ram, activity monitor suggests I am not low on that.
It is particularly slow when I start up anything new; when an email comes in the whole thing grinds to a halt.
3rd party programs like Chrome seem to be sucking the life out of it, I have checked it is up to date and it is.
Is this a common experience and what have others done to speed things up?
System spec: Yosemite version 10.10, processor 2.13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb SDRAM
15Gb disk space free.
I have repaired disk permissions.
Maura

The large number of problems with System items looks suspicious: I'd strongly suggest a reinstall of Yosemite. (Make sure that you have a backup of all your files; e.g. a Time Machine backup.)

I am having trouble printing cd inserts since i upgraded to iTunes 10.2.1.1, I get a black block where the artwork is supposed to print... help!

Anyone have an answer for why since I upgraded to iTunes 10.2.1.1 I can no longer print artwork on my CD inserts - the text prints fine, but I get a black block of ink where the artwork should be...

This problem disappeared with a later version BUT it has reappeared with 11.02.26 again. Maybe they put the old code back! This really is getting quite ridiculous where iterations are not fully tested before they are released. Very poor professionalism indeed.

Since I upgraded to iTunes 11.01 the "Smart" playlists feature no longer works. I can CREATE the list but, the songs that I have played don't accumulate in the list. I haven't changed the steps that worked for me previous to the upgrade. I have no idea

I can CREATE the list but, the songs that I have played don't accumulate in the list.

I have no idea how to fix this and can't find mention of anyone else having a similar problem.
Any suggestions?

Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

Why can I no longer create/access playlists on my iPod since I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2?

I have the same situation. I believe I disconnected iCloud by going into preferences and also unclicking the box for Contacts. What am I missing?

Since I upgraded to Itunes 9 Genius not working for Nirvana

Ever since I upgraded to itunes 9 I haven't been able to use genius for any nirvana music and no nirvana music is being integrated into genius playlists/mixes. Before I upgraded all of my nirvana albums worked fine anyone know what could be causing this? I don't think it would be my song info but I double checked them all and that was fine. I also tried removing and readding them to my library which didn't help. I also tried turning off genius and deleting the itunes library genius.itdb in my itunes folder which didn't help either.
If anyone knows what could be causing this let me know thanks.

For all devices, iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started".

I have already tried to re-install, reboot, stop/restart Apple mobile devices service, without success.
Thanks!

Firefox CONSTANTLY has a yellow bar on top of my screen nagging me to upgrade adobe flash but my processor is way too slow for that upgrade.

I am on an older computer that works just fine, but the processor is too slow for the flash upgrade, nor do I have the other system requirements. What can I do to get rid of this nagging bar? I do not mind upgrading to a lower version of flash, providing it is light on memory;but don't know how to or where to get it. I have seen some archives of older versions but they require knowledge of how to do zip files, or how to do the download as it isn't automatic. I currently have something called "shockwave flash 9.0.45.0". The names are another confusing thing. They talk about shockwave flash, adobe flash player, adobe flash; are they all the same thing?
michelle

cor-el, thanks for your input. The problem I keep having is that I can't get the system requirements for any of the flash versions except 11, the latest. I have looked on a number of sites as well as adobe. There is no point to download something that won't work with my system, and overloads my memory. My processor is a pentium 3, about 927 mhz. The service pack is 2.
Another problem I keep having is that for the older versions they keep telling me to "unzip" the file. I don't know what that means, or of course, how to do it.
Really need some help and understandable directions as am new to computers. This one works great, and I resent these companies putting me in the position of having to buy a new computer just so I can get their newest programs, which in reality are often not as good as the old ones. I cannot afford another computer.

Mac is much slower since the upgrade to 10.8.3 freezes and opens up slow accompanied by the beach ball

Since leaving snow leopard and Mountain lion to Lion , it has been much much slower and freezes while doing simple internet browsing. a few of my apps won't work since the upgrade. Even when i boot up it takes a long while to log in.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

My hotspot won't connect my PC to the internet since I upgraded the op sys on the 4s iphone. The PC sees that hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone tell me what to do please?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.
