New 60GB iPod very slow in updating with iTunes for Windows

I just purchased my first iPod, the new 60GB model. I imported all my music into iTunes from a music server connected to my home network. Although the import took a very long time, it all imported succesfully.
When initially connecting my iPod, its litearlly took all night (several hours) to get all the music into my iPod. It was 6000 songs and 40GB.
Now evertime I connect my iPod to my PC, it takes about 45-60 minutes to update, even though no changes were made to the music in the library.
Is this normal? For it to take that long to update every time I connect? I know I can shut off the automatic update, but this seems like a very long time, and there may be something wrong.
I have a new Windows XP PC with 2GB of memory, a fast processor, and I am connecting to the front USB 2.0 port. I have made sure I have all the updated iPod and iTunes software, and I have reset the iPod several times.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Yes, it does say update in progress, but doesnt show it copying any songs (when there are no new songs), and it does eventually finish and let me disconnect properly, its just take forever...
I am connected directly to a USB 2.0 port in the front of my PC. I do not have a USB hub, though 6 out of my 7 USB ports are occupied (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc).
evertime I connect my iPod to
my PC, it takes about 45-60 minutes to update, even
though no changes were made to the music in the
library.
During these updates, does iTunes show "update in
progress" messages in the iTunes "LCD" display? Does
it eventually show a message about copying files to
the iPod? 45-60 minutes is too long if no files are
getting loaded into the iPod.
Are you connected directly to the USB port, or going
through a USB hub? Any other USB devices connected
at the same time?

  • What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit?  Makes my PC run like a 286 on Windows 3.11.

    What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit?  So slow and draggy.  Makes my high end PC with multi-core processor and video card run like a 286.  Even did this after doing a fresh install of the operating system with the latest version of iTunes. 
    No other software does this on my machine.  There has to be some crazy issue causing this.

    Try this,
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • Latest update of itunes for windows 7

    I see a lot of people are having problems with the latest updagte of itunes for windows 7. I installed the latest itunes update today and it failed twice.

  • Very slow music download with iTunes match on iOS devices

    For some time now I experience very slow performance downloading music with iTunes match on my iOS devices.
    Downloading music takes ages now. Not so long ago download music with iTunes match was as fast as buying music from the iTunes Store.
    I tried to restore my iPhone but nothing changed.
    The download itself is quite fast but after that the blue progress bar is full and the statut is "en cours" (french) something like busy/ongoing in english . The other tracks have a status wating;
    Any idea how to solve the issue?
    Thanks

    Same here. It seems to be better when the device has been set up from scratch. A delete and restore does not the trick. So I learned to live with it

  • IPod Touch will NOT sync in iTunes for Windows Vista

    I get this error message. "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    Well, I did that, then I reinstalled iTunes. The AMDS didn't reinstall with the iTunes software! Instead, it kept rolling back again and again. I uninstalled iTunes again, made sure everything was deleted with Windows Install Clean Up, then tried to install iTunes 8.1. Well, this installed AMDS, but it also installed iTunes 8.2 instead - and I am getting the same error message again. Is my iPod touch completely useless now? I can't update the songs on my computer to it, so what am I supposed to do? My computer is recognizing it and saying it connected and allowing me to open it, but it will not appear in iTunes. HELP!

    IS NO ONE FROM APPLE WILLING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE? This problem is being discussed all over the internet. Something is WRONG with iTunes 8.2 that is PROHIBITING iPod Touch devices to sync with it. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I have been unable to contact ANYONE about the issue, and a support person literally hung up on me while I was explaining my problem, like he knew what was happening. WHAT DO I DO? I have a non-updated iPod Touch that is just being WASTED because I can't sync it with the newest version of iTunes. APPLE, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

    To reply back to Ari, you should have done that on the same thread so that he can see it

  • IPod takes forever to update with iTunes 7.0

    Has anyone else noticed that each time you update your iPod with version 7.0 that it takes forever, regardless of how many additions you have to your library?
    Recently I purchased ONE song for the music store and wanted to take it with me on my iPod. Typically the process only took a few minutes. Now it seems to take 30-60 minutes on my iPod in which I have a little over 5000 songs?!?! Is it rewriting each and every file?
    This makes it frustrating, especially when you want to update and go. My iPod sat at home since I had to go.
    I love Apple, but they really messed up with this shoddy upgrade.

    I am also experiencing the exact same problem. No matter what, even if I'm just putting my iPod on its dock to charge it goes into an "Updating iPod" and then sits there updating for roughly 30 mins to an hour. This has been very frustrting since upgrading to 7.0.X

  • IPod playlists won't update with iTunes 6

    I just downloaded iTunes 6, and when I connected my iPod, it basically erased the 1,000 songs I had on it and "updated" my playlist/iPod with a random 450 songs. I got an error message saying that not all of my playlists could be updated because my software is too old. But I have the newest software...help is greatly appreciated!!

    hi Cathleen!
    The updater is 2004-04-28.

  • IPod randomly disconnects when updating with iTunes.

    Just got my 60 gig iPod video today, and have been having an aggravating time trying to figure out why the thing keeps disconnecting while updating.
    Basically, I selected some songs I want to update, and it will get through prolly about 10% of them before it will randomly just disconnect. When reconnecting, it will start all over from the beginning. It happens at random times, I have no idea what is going on. Any help?
    I've tried several different USB ports, all with the same issue.

    Did you figure this out? I am having the same problem. I have been unable to get an intial load of songs onto my iPod. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the software as well as restoring my iPod. Nothing has worked.
