New itunes using up all my power

Ever since installing the new itunes i cant import new cds as the computer is using up all its power. if i try to use another application at the same time as itunes the computer just freezes now. i've tried reinstalling and no change

I am experiencing the same issue when ever I add a Genera iTune Pinwheels and starts using up all of my system memory. I took my computer to the apple store and they found that I had a bad Ram module. I will see if the issue persist after the new ram module come in. I hope it will fix the issue if not I will have to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. What software are you using to copy the DVD I wonder if it is the software we are using to get the DVD to the Mac.

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I sync my iPhone to a new iTunes WITHOUT deleting all of my content?

    I had to totally reset my whole laptop and now my phone won't sync with the new iTunes without deleting everything- I obviously don't want to delete everything! HELP?!

    This is how it works.  Iphone will sync with only one library at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Sorry.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put all of your data back on your computer, then sync.

  • Will the new iTunes 11 still work for power users?

    I've looked at the available screenshots, and I'm worried.
    On the new iTunes page, Apple says, "Simplicity is a beautiful thing" — but I'm not so sure. I don't see any conventional list views, and I'm very worried that in simplifying it, they've sacrificed the control that so many music lovers like myself have come to rely on.
    Here's Apple's info:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/new-itunes/
    Anyone have additional insight?

    I disagree. Apple has added many, many features to iTunes over the years that target the power user. From smart playlists, to obscure things like ID3 tag version control. Power users features are sprinkled throughout iTunes. And to say that Apple doesn't have a "specific committment to produce a certain style product" is true, but also fairly obvious/meaningless.
    2) iTunes' developments over the past decade have largely been in the marketing facet.  As for basic music playing not much has changed since it was developed from Soundjam.  What has changed a lot is the introduction of the iTunes Store and interfacing with mobile devices.
    Basic music playing has changed a LOT. You couldn't even rate your tracks in the beginning.
    3) Apple is a for-profit corporation.   We might like to remember them as the little-computer-that-could taking on the big corporations, but frankly they aren't that anymore.  They have a responsibility to their shareholders to do whatever it takes to maximize profit.  We don't really know what the October iTunes looks like (much) but if they decide to dumb it down so it is easier for people primarily interested in using iPhones to use then from a marketing perspective can't blame them.  We might not like it and might yearn for the the days when Apple really was computers, but those days are gone.
    This is simplified to point of meaninglessness. There's an interaction between customers and product design teams. It may not be obvious from the outside, but there's still a give & take. What you're saying is in essence is, "Shut up and accept whatever happens," which is not a rational approach.
    4) If Apple decided iTunes wasn't in their interest they would drop it in a flash.  Where's iDVD?  iDVD was something people were willing to pay for.  They still would, but Apple isn't selling it anymore even though it is clear people in general have not given up on DVDs.
    iDVD is not a good comparison, because of the vastly different switching costs. I used iDVD, but was fairly unaffected by its slow demise.

  • How can i transfer my ipod to my new itunes without losing all music

    my computer crashed and now all i have is my cousins and i need to know how to convert my music onto her new itunes, hopefully without losing all my music. if thats possible, so there is no way i can go back to my old itunes, her computer is the only itunes i will be able to use. how can i transferr my ipod touch to her computer without losing all data???

    Welcome to the discussion,
    Create a new user in windows to keep your iTunes library separate and log in. Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I just updated the new iTunes and now all my playlists are gone!! What the heck?!

    All my playlist are gone from itunes with the new update. If I click on "sync" it asks me to erase all my music and videos... Is there a way to avoid doing this? Thanks.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    In the unlikely event that your media has been wiped from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    thanx  , barry in ireland

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your phone from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Set up your iTunes account, disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • I downloaded the new Itune SW and all my music is gone.  How do I recover it?

    I downloaded the new Itune SW and it wiped out all my music, how do I recover?

    Hello mikgius,

  • New Itunes install lost all my addresses in my address book

    I installed the new Itunes update and now i have lost all of my addresses in my outlook address book and none of my calendars are syncing.  Help!!

    There are three "Library" folders on your Mac. One in System, One in the root (Macintosh HD), and one in each user folder. You need the one in your user home. You can get there by holding down the option key and selecting Library from the Go menu in Finder. Or, you can select Go To Folder from the Go menu and type ~/Library in the dialog box that pops up (you can do this in Time Machine, also).
    Even though those are vCards inside, Contacts doesn't see them as vCards since they don't have a .vcf file extension. However, there's a better way.
    If you've found the files, you've also found the AddressBook folder.
    Replace the AddressBook folder that is in your username/Library/Application Support/ folder with the one in your Backup. Start Contacts.

  • New iTunes uses 100% CPU

    I hate the new iTunes. It is consuming 100% of my CPU. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Oh another thing:
    It does step 1 ok (backing up) but when it starts downloading apps (step 2) is the problem. The first few apps end up downloading but iTunes freezes like 5 times during the process... After a few apps comes the white screen and everything... Once the iPod is removed and iTunes it closed, the background comes back and everything  goes back to normal. Nothing is erased from the iPod either.
    Thought that would help.

  • I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itune's however all of my music has an "!" buy it and I get an error saying "original file can not be found". How do I get my music back?

    I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itues, however; all of my music has an "!" but it and I get an error that says " original file can not be found".
    How do I get my music back?

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

  • Computer doesn't make use of all his power...!?

    I guess that my mac pro don't uses all of his computing-power. I have a quite new mac-pro, 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 2GB 800 Mhz memory. Before this, i had a G5 daul 2.5Ghz, but so far i couldn't notice the enhanced computing power.
    Could it be possible that something blockade the power? I use my mac pro for musicproduction with logic. Sometimes logic crashes with an overload message. But when i see the CPU-load window, only one of the eight cpu load indication is overloaded, and the other seven are not even in use.
    Does anybody know whats going on here?
    regards... alex

    This problem occures very likely due to the single-threaded
    architecture of your Logic-Version, meaning approx that this
    app's tasks/operations can only be processed by one cpu.
    Many apps (especially the older) aren't optimized (or bad-coded)
    for multi-core/-cpu-Workstations like our Mac Pros.
    Therefore they can only utilize 1/8 of the potential raw power
    they could provide.
    We're all in the same boat, as we all expect and hope our favourite
    apps to get more out of our machines aka "go multi-threaded".
    The newest logic-Version should at least take advantage of two cores.
