Rearranging application using iTunes is very slow

I was trying to rearrange my applications on my iPhone using iTunes and everytime I dragged and dropped an application to a new spot iTunes got stuck and the pinwheel of death appeared. I would say that after each drop iTunes became unresponsive for approximately 5 seconds (sometimes longer). I have just upgraded to iTunes 11.1 on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) and I also just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7 (AT&T iPhone 5). Does anybody else have this issue? It makes the feature in iTunes unusable. I got more done faster by just dragging the apps around on my iPhone screen...

This thread discusses what may be the same issue as the one you are having.

Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums

Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums. I am using iTunes 10.6.1 Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM 2.66 GHz Intel processor and my itunes library is 340GB. My new music is on the computer's hardrive (about 16GB) and the rest is in an external HD.
It used to work great until I switched to the new version of iTunes (10.6.1) and now changing the artist field is very very very slow (1 minute per song in compilaton albums)
What happened? Can someone help me?

Thank you both!!!!!! Especially you, Limnos for adding onto the terrific answer from leonieDF. Yeah, I'm seldom willing to let the software do the driving all by itself. <heh> However, to date I've been too lazy to work with what is currently there - and needing to know how to customize the software was my first step.
I'm finally going to reduce the enormous physical size of my cd collection - organizing and storing the jewel cases is too great a nightmare not to mention that it has turned my livingroom into nothing more than a visually overwhelming variety of storage devices--spinners being my favorite, but now mostly unavailable outside of yard sales. Favorite disks I WILL keep to play in the car (no, my player is too old to have a USB port).
I'm getting a 2T external drive to hold the accumulation - but before that, I wanted to find out HOW to organize things so that I can find them myself - old school. My ITunes libraries go back many years, but I now want a good cohesive way to save the way that I want - not the way that is set up for me.
Thank you both again very, very much!!

ITunes is very slow when updating apps

Since a few days iTunes is very slow when updating apps and downloading updates for iPad etc.
Very often a download is ended with the message server reply time to long.
I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes on an iMac mid-2010 with latest OS. I have some 3-4 GB out of 12 GB memory free and 70GB free out of 500 GB storage. I have measured my internet connection speed and it is very good 95-98 Mbit/sec.
I can't see any obvious reason to why iTunes is so slow. Have anyone experienced this? Please help!

Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point.

ITunes loads very slow

With over 48000 songs, itunes loads very slow. Thinking it my be my pc I loaded it onto a new pc and get the same results. Is there anything I can do to getit to load under 5 seconds at least?

Dear Apple,
I need to complain about the same problem. I have 1/10th the songs in i-Tunes (~4800) and I cringe every time I want to start the program. The same delay happens anytime I load or switch a CD to import a song.
Google can load a billion links in a blink; can't you load a millionth of this info in the same amount of time? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Frustrated,
-Mike

ITunes startup very slow

Hi
My iTunes is very slow, when it starts up, i have the newest version, i have just updated.
It has allways been a problem, do any of you have the same problem, and is there a solution on the problem??

How long is "forever"? I have been experimenting with startup times with my music collection (on a FW400 external drive) - on a G4 MDD it takes 60 secs to load, but on a MacBook it takes 30 secs. This even though the MacBook has much less RAM. So I am wondering if processor speed is what is being overloaded as the iTunes library file loads........ Can any of you provide actual numbers?
What Mac? How big a music collection? How long to load? Is there a pattern here?

IPod isn't recognized by iTunes and iTunes opens very slow!!

Hey!
So here's my very urgent problem (go on vacation tomorrow!!!):
Everytime I click to open iTunes, it takes about 5 minutes until it opens! I have a Windows XP and have also updated iTunes to the newest software. I don't know what the problem is...
And second, my iPod doesn't connect with iTunes, it won't be recognized by iTunes! Windows recognizes it, but iTunes doesn't. I've already tried at every USB connection, but it doesn't work! Well, once it worked and I thought that was it, but the next time it didn't work anymore!
I've got a pink iPod mini (4 GB) and I dropped it some times, but the man in the Apple Support store said, it's got nothing to do with the hardware. Really?
Who can help me please - very fast??!
Thank you!
Chrissy

Sorry, don't real understand! ;-))
OK, I closed all other background applications when using iTunes. But the problem is that I couldn't do the next step because iTunes always tell me: "The software required for communicating with the iPod isn't installed correctly. Please reinstall..." So I can't drag the iPod icon from my computer (and anyway: where is "my computer"??) to iTunes application (where is that one??)
But at least it's good news that nothing's wrong with the hardware (couldn't afford a new one! ;-))
Please reply soon, it would be real cool if you'd help me with further steps... and everyone else too of course! ;-D

Qt applications over ssh tunnel: very slow redrawing

Regularly I do not use many Qt applications, mostly Skype. I run it over ssh tunnel from another computer within the same local network for long time. After recent system update I noticed it became very slow refreshing its graphics. I checked several Gtk and Qt applications and found that Gtk ones work almost with the "native" speed, while Qt ones with that damn slow redrawing...
I tried ssh with both "ForwardX11" and "ForwardX11Trusted" - there is no difference. I'm using no DE with xmonad WM (tried TWM - no difference either) in x86_64 box.
Any directions/advices/ideas?
Thanks!

Itunes is very slow to load and takes forever to recognize iphone

My itunes has been running VERY slow. It takes several minutes to open, then it is unuseable for another several minutes. Here it can browse my library but my iphone doesn't show up. after this it takes five to ten minutes to recognize the iphone. it was working yesterday when I updated my iphone to 4.3.5, then suddenly this happened.
Any clues? I installed the most up to date version and it has the same symptoms and eventually says iTunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later

I was able to get my iTunes functional again after disabling a lot of my windows services -- use this thread for your reference:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
I haven't pinpointed exactly which service(s) were causing the iTunes slowdown, as I haven't had time to test re-enabling all of them yet. But so far I've just disabled the services that I know I don't need anymore and iTunes has been running like a champ =)

ITunes downloading very slow.

Hi guys,
I've experienced a vast decrease in speed on my iTunes for downloading apps and even using WiFi to download apps/updating them.
Are there any problems currently with iTunes stores? Because this is the first time this has happened. I'm from SGP and my ISP speed is 15MBps. Appreciate if there's anyone out there who can help. Thanks alot.

Hey there Kimber.c,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi connection is very slow on this computer. I would try the steps in this section of the article named:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
Symptom: The Wi-Fi network seems slow
Streaming movies may skip or pause.
iTunes or other downloads may take an unusually long time to complete.
Webpages may not load quickly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

ITunes 10 very slow and pegs processor

Ever since I upgraded to iTunes10 on my Windows 7 machine it has run like absolute garbage. It is ridicliously slow to do anything, right-clicking on a media item and choosing "Get Info" takes 10 minutes to open. *10 minutes!!*
Also one of my two processor cores is constantly pegged at 100% when the app is idle.
Specs are a Core2Duo @ 2.7GHz, 8GB of RAM and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
Anyone else having this problem?

Sweet Jesus! I thought I was the only one suffering from Apple’s newest bloatware. I am to the point that I avoid adding content to my iPhone 4 because I simply do not have the time to wait for iTunes 10 to respond. I have many audiobooks and simply selecting (“clicking”) them requires me to wait ten seconds or so for the “tick” mark to display. This is simply an exercise in frustration. However, I am fully aware of the problem(s). Initially, iTunes was an agile application that allowed easy access and management of one’s music collection. Today, iTunes has become a bloated and intrusive application that lost the elements that made it great. No longer is it an application to quickly and efficiently manage ones music collection. Because of, I use Media Monkey for real music management. Then, I copy the music into iTunes. Notwithstanding, I do not need an application monitoring my music collection (Genius), nor do I need an application to build my social network. Generally, applications improve over time. However, with each version, iTunes becomes larger, slower, and even more invasive. Perhaps with iTunes 11, we may see some version of a relationship services provider. Subsequently, we will have an application to assist with making friends and strengthening our love life. I hope that somewhere between all these distractions, one may still be able to access and manage his or her music compilation. Until that arrives or returns, I will continue to use Media Monkey for heavy-duty music management such as mass tagging scripts, Meta data tagging editing, etc.

T540p not using nvidia graphics, very slow

Hi!
Well I'm using a T540p with GeForce GT 730M.
When I use applications with WPF or DirectDraw, like Office or Chrome (I think they do...) the notebooks very slow. I get a hight load on system process.
When I use the Process Explorer to see whats going on:
ntoskrnl.exe!WheaAttemptPhysicalPageOffline
is on high load.
I checked the Bios: There is no way to deactivate the Intel HD Graphics. Checked the nvidia system settings to: Its set to use GeForce.
Also tried to install newest drivers and so on: They are installed.
Oh well: I use Windows 7, 64bit.
Thanks!

The nVidia control panel should allow you to set options for programs to use the nVidia. Thats what I ended up having to do.
I tried that (see first point in original post), it doesn't help.
I haven't tried the drivers from NVIDIA, but I would think the Lenovo ones should work and therefore the drivers aren't the problem. Has anyone used the NVIDIA ones? Are there any downsides? I assume I can just reinstall the Lenovo ones if I want?

Itunes is very slow

Hi,
iTunes is suddenly very slow and I cannot backup my iPhone. Furthermore iTunes is consuming most of
the CPU capacity.
Does that sound familiar, can anyone help?

I'd suggest a clean reinstall to rule out any underlying software issues:
Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Remove these applications:
1. Apple Software Update
2. Apple Mobile Device Support
3. iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, either way, it's not needed so we can remove it)
4. iTunes
5. QuickTime
Restart the computer
Download & Install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch the Utility: Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
Select any of the above mentioned applications, and click Remove
Restart the computer again
Download & install iTunes again from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Initial search on ITunes store very slow

We're using ITunes 7.6 on a Windows Vista PC. Users without parental controls can access the store with no issues. Kids accounts, though, can access Itunes and the store, but the initial search is very slow - 10 minutes on a 6 MB DSL connection. When these searches finally complete, access is then at expected speeds - a few seconds per request. I have not had any successful tips from tech support yet. We have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and Quicktime.

tspatt,We didn't have luck with adding http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/ to the allowed web addresses in Vista's Parental Controls. We already had apple.com allowed.We still have the same problem with the iTunes store taking several minutes to load.Call me a cynic, but, I think Apple really isn't motivated to find a solution. I think they like seeing MS product users experience pain. On the flip side, we already know that MS likes all of it's competitors to fail.If you have Windows XP or Vista and want Parental Controls, the only solution seems to be to use a different music provider instead of iTunes.
