Transfering tunes from Mac to ipod very slow... any ideas?

Hello,
I have a new 80gb iPod and a 5 year old 3g - 30gb laptop.
I'm trying to transfer 8000 songs (45gb) to my iPod from iTunes.
I have all the songs on an external drive and I have changed the settings on iTunes
to access those files. This works fine.
I have 25 song lists and it takes 5 minutes to transfer 30 songs.
I'm clicking the option "sync all songs and playlists " in iTunes.
This will take 22 hours.
Any suggestions on how else I can make the transfer and copy my playlists onto my iPod.
Thank You!

It's most likely USB 2.0. I think they superseded USB 1.1 10 years ago. I have about one-third of the music you have, and it took about two hours or so (I don't remember exactly and will go to any length to avoid allowing the current iTunes transfer all of my music at once), so I would think yours would take 6-8 hours. Maybe it only looks at the beginning like it would take an entire day but then picks up as the sync progresses.
You could sync a portion at a time (using smart playlists) and have it run while you're asleep.

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. 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.

If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
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.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup

Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
    used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
    requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
    drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup

4. SuperDuper!

See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.

Transferring music from Mac formatted Ipod to Windows Vista laptop

The hard-drive on my Mac laptop recently gave up on me. Unfortunately I haven't managed to transfer all my music to my time capsule and Apple TV. I've lost about 4,000 - 5,000 songs. I've read various articles and tried a few software applications, unfortunately none have work successfully for me.
I know there are some third party software applications that can sort this out but I was wondering is there any free applications or a manual way I can do it?
Thanks in advance for the advice!

There are several different ways to read HFS+ volumes on a pc. I used to have one but it was for reading .dmg on pc. I did find a program called HFSExplorer that might help you. If you can, I would transfer the music you have to your internal HDD on your Mac using a program like Senuti and then putting it on the iPods HDD using disk mode, then you should be able to read them on the pc usaing the aforementioned program.
HFSExplorer:
http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html
Senuti:

Senuti has a 30-day/1000 song trial. I'm not sure about the HFSExplorer.
I hope this helps some!

Mac Pro runs very slow, any apps, accessing finder spinning ball

last night i can't use the mouse like i used to i have to almost hit the buttons
to do anything, it's as if is pressure sensitive
If you like i can send you jpgs of the activity Monitor but i don't know what you want from the Activity Monitor
I'm worried that it night be a memory problem i have run almost all diagnostic programs all report no problems
I have a Mac Pro 2.66 dual-core

I know that you might ask for more specific info, just tell me what to do
I need to find out what's going on before something with the hardware causes expensive repair and data loss
Please i need help
Thank anybody

Hi Steve,
My first suggestion is to run the Apple Hardware Test DVD, My next would be to download TechTool Deluxe and see what it says.
The AHT DVD is run the same way as the System Install DVD, just restart holding the C-key with the AHT DVD inserted.
And here is a link to TechTool Deluxe:

Hope this helps you out.

Safari VERY slow -- any ideas?

Help! Safari has basically ground to a halt loading web pages on my G4 running Tiger 10.4.3, and/or I get weird error messages. I've tried lots of things suggested on boards -- fixing disc permissions, Unix repair function fsck, running MacJanitor and Onyx, dumping preference files, emptying caches and the icons folder, removing duplicate fonts, etc. -- but the problem persists. Any new ideas? It's driving me crazy! Many thanks.

Hi:
Since writing my first post, I came across this page, which discusses the memory-hog aspects of Safari and slowness when multiple windows/tabs are open. This also led me to Privoxy which kills two birds with one stone. Privoxy enables a local proxy server that blocks a fair proportion of banner ads, especially those with Java animation. After installing the package, network settings must be altered to use a manual proxy server for http and https protocols: the server address is 127.0.0.1 on port 8118. So far it has worked well for me, improving speed when I have a lot of tabs open and blocking annoying ads as well.

Can't transfer purchased tunes from Mac to PC on iPod.

I have 2 computers... a Mac and a PC. I've purchased various iTunes on each comter. I want to transfer the purchased tunes on the Mac to the PC.
After I copy the tunes from my Mac to the iPod, I connect it to the PC and click on 'Transfer Purchases' but nothing happens. The tunes don't show up anywhere.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Make sure your PC is authorized for the iTunes account you're transferring to it.
Click Store > Authorize Computer, put in your account information, and click "authorize." Wait for it to say "authorization successful" and then give it another go.
Also, you want to make sure iTunes on your PC is recognizing the iPod... it won't if your iPod is formatted for a Mac. If you want to check this, the summary tab in iTunes will tell you your iPod's format. You can also find out from the iPod by going to Settings > About. If the last item in the menu says "Format Windows" then you're formatted for a PC (which can be read by a PC and a Mac). If the last item in the menu is your model number, then you're formatted for a Mac, which cannot be read by a PC.

Transfering tunes from one IPod to another IPod

how can I transfer tunes from an old Ipod to my new Nano. The tunes are not in my computer. They were uploaded to my old IPod from CDs.

You would need to transfer them back to iTunes first. There are third party utilities that will help you do this. Look for posts by user Zevoneer. He regularly posts instructions and lists applications.

Mac Mini boots very slow with Mavericks (after security update)

Hi,
my Mac Mini boots very slow after I've installed Maveriks. I did two clean installs by now, seemed to work OK after the second one but after the latest safety update (2014-002) the boot time is up to 5+ minutes. Starting Safari or other software takes addtional time. See below for system specs, Etrecheck and log. Any ideas what could cause this? According to the update history I did install the security update 2014-002 twice on the same day although I cannot remember doing such a thing.

Hey there Logic Pro21,
It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
Open the Mac App Store
Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

My backup is up to date, I ran a hardware check and found no issues, then ran the Disk Utility and it also said it found no issues but I hit repair anyways. After a restart I ran EtreCheck again and this is what came out. The computer is still horribly sluggish. Do I just keep repeating the Disk Utility check and repair step???
