Slow updating of networked music

When i use itunes (letest version) to update file info of a selection of files to change eg the artist name it goes "slowly".
files are on a "windows" share (linux samba server) and I'm using a 100mb network.
is this normal behaviour?
is ther a way to make itunes cache stuf?

You have described what sounds like an accumulation of data issue.
I can only guess that your data is pilling up somewhere.
If you post your code we may be able to spot something that you have over-looked.
Re:taking more time when displaying using a graph. Depending on the size of the graph object, a lot of CPU could be required to do the dispaly work.
Things that can slow down graphs are;
Updating to often
using auto-scale with every update
using "smooth updates"
Dashed plot lines
"step interpolation"
This is just a short list off the top of my head.
Like I said, post your code, the wizards on this list seldom fail (have they ever?).

  • Mac painfully slow over mixed network SMB/CIFS

    I am using a Mac mini over a mixed office network. Several network operations are painfully slow. I posted a previous topic when I was using my G5 over the same network. Nothing has been resolved. G5, Mac mini or any Mac are slow over the network.
    -photo previews take at least 2 minutes each to view while on a PC the whole drive of previews are instantly seen.
    - Entourage common network calendar takes 5-10 minutes to view/update while the same common calender on a PC takes a few short seconds.
    - Browsing folders on network drives is slow.
    - Transfering files is slow
    Basically any work done over the network from the Mac is tediously slow. Burning CD's and hand carry the files to other offices would be faster. The PC's instead all work fine over the network.

    This looks very interesting and worth looking into. I've got the info in the hands of our net administrator.
    I am making progress. I switched the mac mini from ethernet to airport. That has helped dramatically. A folder of 175 mb that was going to take hours and hours to copy to my local drive (I finally gave up) only took about 2-3 minutes over wireless. Previews of photos now happen in a few short seconds. The Entourage common calendar still takes a while to upload but that's probably an Entourage issue.
    Our network administrator is going to string new cable to my office and we'll check the switching as well.
    Thanks everyone for your continued help as we solve this issue and rescue the Mac's reputation in a windows environment.
    This sounds alot like a duplexing issue, whereby
    your macs are connecting eventually to a switch, that
    isn't properly auto-negotiating your ethernet speed.
    You can try going into the Network preferences and
    forcing your mac to either 100 full duplex or 100
    half duplex and do some testing. Some Bay
    Network and Cisco switches must be set (if they are
    managed switches) for fastpath operation where they
    will autonegotiate better with equipment like our
    Broadcom manufactured network interface cards. I
    had the same issue at home with a Netgear switch, I
    replaced it with a Dell gigabit switch and the
    problem went away.

  • Will using the old express slow down my network?

    I want to setup a network without being connected to the internet, with an Extreme N connected to an external drive, AppleTV, and Airport Express for music.
    1. If I use the old Express that is not running at N speed, will this significantly slow down my network?
    2. If I setup my network with the old one and later upgrade to the new one, is it a big deal to delete the old one off the network and add the new one?
    Thanks.

    You can have an N network with a G subnetwork. You connect the WAN connector of the G router to a LAN port of the N router. You set the N router to work only at N, that is without support for G networks. Let the G router handle those.

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

    thanks for the reply.  guess i'll have to do that.  apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update.  have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update.  most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression.  this was a complete change.  and not a good one, at all.  thanks to the two people that replied.  appreciate it.

  • HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!

    Hi,
    My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
    I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
    I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
    It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
    I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
    I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
    ''add a local printer;
    'new port'
    'localport'
    \\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
    but still nothing!
    There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
    I Really appreciate your HELP!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
    Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
    Let me know!

  • Slow Windows-based network devices (smb) discovery?

    Hi
    I've noticed a problem with accessing windows file shares.
    After a successfull boot of my mac it takes around 5-10 min for macOS to detect my windows computer on network.
    This is very long time and i cannot access the shares without waiting.
    I've read a lot about issues with samba and apple's samba's custom implementation however i've found no working solution for my case.
    Has anyone experience similiar issues with slow windows devices network discovery?

    I am experiencing the same issue... I was searching the whole afternoon but until now unable to find a solution...

  • Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

    Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

    It does, under certain circumstances. If you are playing music and lock the phone or it locks on its own, when you wake it up, the album art will show. It also shows as the background if you are in the music app. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, you can submit feedback to Apple about this feature at www.apple.com/feedback.

    Why with the new iOS 7 update does my music rewind a second once I unlock my phone? This is really annoying and they should fix it

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

  • CS3 slow over local network

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.33GHZ Core 2 Duo w/2GB RAM.
    Websites are shared from a Windows XP machine using normal
    built in file sharing.
    In Dreamweaver CS3, opening a document takes a while. And
    once it's open and everything looks good, I can click on an image
    and count out 2 seconds before the image actually highlights. Click
    on another image or in a table cell to type text, and it's another
    two seconds.
    This site website, copied to my own hard drive, responds as
    fast as it should - near instant.
    The website and images aren't large by any means, 43k with
    HTML, images, and css. It seems weird that it'd be slower over the
    network than locally. Once Dreamweaver has the document open and
    everything loaded, just selecting different elements shouldn't take
    a performance hit.
    I didn't have this problem with Dreamweaver 8.
    Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • Slow update of shared variables on RT (cRIO) after building exe

    Hi,
    I've been struggling with this for the past few days.  I am having a problem with slow updating of shared variables on my RT project....but only after building the application into exe's.
    The application consists of an RT target (cRIO 9073) sampling inputs at a rate of 1sec.  I have a host PC running the front panel that updates with the new acquired values from the cRIO.  These values are communicated via shared variables.
    Once the cRIO samples the inputs, it writes the values to the shared variables, and then flags the data as 'ready to be read' using a boolean shared variable flag.  The hostPC polls this boolean shared variable and updates the indicators on the front panel accordingly.  
    Now, this worked fine during development, but as soon as I built the RT exe and host exe's, it stopped working properly and the shared variables ended up being updated very slowly, roughly 2-3sec update time.
    To give you some more background:
    I am running the Labview 2010 v10.0.
    I am deploying the shared variable library on the RT device (as the system must work even without the hostPC).  I have checked that its deploying using Distributed System Manager, as well as deploying it into the support directory on the cRIO and not the exe itself. 
    I have also disabled all firewalls and my antivirus, plus made sure that the IP's and subnets are correct and its DNS Server address is set to 0.0.0.0.
    There are 25 shared variables all in all, but over half of those are config values only used once or twice at startup.  Some are arrays, plus I dont have any buffering and none of them are configured as RT FIFO's either.
    The available memory on the cRIO is about 15MB minimum.
    What strikes me is that it works fine before building exe's and its not like the cRIO code is processor intensive, its idleing 95% of the time.

    Thats exactly what I'm saying, it takes 2-3seconds to update the values.
    I have tried taking out the polling on the PC side, and registered an event on the changing of that shared variable and that doesn't do anything to change the slow update time.  Even if I stop the PC, and just monitor the shared variables in DSM it updates slowly.
    I also tried utilising the "flush shared variables" vi to try to force the update....that does nothing.
    I wire all the error nodes religously. Still no luck.
    Its very strange, I'm not too sure whats happening here.  These things should be able to update in 10ms.

    Why is my iphone 4 SO slow updating!!!???

    How much free space do you have?  When was the last time you restarted the phone (Home & Sleep buttons held together)?    Have you cleaned out unused apps?
    All of these will diminish performance of your phone.
