Updating to iPod Very Slowly

When I drag files to my Nano they update very slowly. This is a recent development, as they have always updated rather quickly. I installed the iPod updater and have the latest version of iTunes. Can anyone suggest a fix?
G4 Cube   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

rhonda, I've had the same issue when updating both my shuffle and my iPod video from time to time. The only way I can fix it is to shut down and reboot the computer. It's a pain but it does make iTunes work better.
Hope it works for you.

  • Ran software update computer runs very slowly

    Repaired permission on Mac Mini running 10.5.8 and updated software. On restart the computer runs painfully slow now. Repaired permissions again and restarted again. Same results. I had forgotten the password and had to change the admin password by starting up from a 10.6 software update DVD. This machine runs Windows XP primarily and it is slow on both platforms.

    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.

  • My iPod loads songs very slowly

    I had some trouble with the battery-life of my iPod, and I thought erasing the whole iPod would cure this, so I've resetted it. After doing this, my iPod, upon connecting it with my PC (Sony Vaio notebook - Windows XP SP2), started loading songs very slowly. Whereas the transfer of a song used to last a fraction of a second, now a song takes up to 30 sec to be transferred. At this speed, uploading my +4000 songs takes ages.
    I've already installed the latest version of iTunes (6.0) and the iPod updater, but nothing seems to help.
    I've connected the iPod to another computer where the iPod was originally linked to. On this computer an old version of iTunes (4.5) was installed and some songs. The transfer went OK. So the problem was with my Sony Vaio.
    I've disabled Norton Internet Security and Norton Antivirus from the Sony but this made no difference.
    Could there be a problem with my firewire-connection to the iPod ? How can I speed it up ? I would certainly appreciate it if someone out there could help me. Many thanks in advance.

    Have you tried another USB port?
    Another computer?
    Another Cable?
    A wall charger?

  • IPhone 4S doesnt show charge symbol and charges very slowly on brand new MacBook Pro. Not recognised by iTunes. Charges fine on Asus laptop. iPod charges fine on Macbook Pro...

    Hi!
    I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having with my iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro.
    I did manage to connect it initially and set it up with XCode as well as iTunes.
    Today I have spent two hours trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro and I have so far found the following...
    iPod 2G - charges from MacBook Pro, Wall Charger, Asus Laptop (works with both my Apple USB cables)
    iPhone 4S - doesnt charge from MacBook Pro, but does from Wall Charger and Asus Laptop
                      - Asus Laptop running Linux Mint recognises the iPhone as a device with 'lsusb' and you can browse photos etc
                      - MacBook Pro doesn't recognise the iPhone as a device with the 'systemprofiler' equivalent of lsusb
                      - Interestingly, despite the charging icon not showing, the iPhone either maintains charge or very, very slowly charges
                         when connected to the MacBook Pro.
    Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I've tried both the USB ports on the MacBook Pro and no difference. I've tried the 6 ports
    on my old Asus laptop and they all work fine!
    Thanks for your help!

    OK.. Went to the Apple Store - they could either book an appointment with a Genius.. or send the phone for
    testing and repair. Found out I have a 2 year warranty on it so have a year left.
    My research has led me to assume that the USB 2.0 function of my iPhone was faulty from the day I got it (it kept disconnecting the reconnecting but transferred data fast), but soon stopped doing that and ran at about 1MB/s - USB 1.1 speed - and has done this ever since.
    The MacBook Pro somehow is trying to use the USB2.0 function and is not letting the phone fall back to USB 1.1.
    To test my theory I found an old USB 1.1 hub... plugged it into the MacBook Pro... then plugged the iPhone
    into that. Job done. Charging fine, recognised every single time I connect, and only took a few secs to send over my XCode app to the phone and runs fine! I guess this works as the hub forces the iPhone and MacBook both to USB1.1 mode which then works fine! Will just use it like this for a few months then send it in at an opportune moment (want to get some apps out before I lose my device for repair for a while!)
    I will in the next week or so test my iPhone on my friend's MacBook Pro (we bought them the same day but I didn't get the Retina cos I like to be able to upgrade RAM, Hard Drive, and replace battery when it wears out). I will also test their iPhones on my MacBook Pro to see whether it really is the phone or the MacBook!
    PS I will get WiFi Sync running since transferring 60GB of data over USB1.1 won't be fun... will do a full factory reset on the phone just in case there is an issue there - will post results of this too!

  • I updated my ipod touch4 and it said i had to plug it up to itunes which i did then when i plugged it in it said i had to restore which i did and i was very upset and it restored it and now its frozen on the apple logo how do i fix it? ps button dont work

    Try as much as you can. When it says to place in recovery mode use this program instead.
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2 PDFs open VERY Slowly

    I am using Acrobat PRO on a workstation (Windows 7 Ultimate - Service Pack 1)
    After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2, all pdf files open VERY slowly (30-60 secs). It does not appear to matter if the file is local to the workstation or on the network. Also the size of the file does not seem to matter or whether this is the first file opened or a subsequent file.
    In addition just opening Adobe Acrobat is equally slow.
    I have tried turning off the anti-virus software. No impact.
    Any suggestions appreciated...

    Have you tried "Repair Acrobat Installation" to see if it makes any difference?  To do this try this:
    Help >> Repair Acrobat Installation.
    Another option is to press the shift key while clicking or double clicking on the PDF file to open.  this stops loading all the useless fonts in the document and other useless plugins in acrobat.
    The third option is to delete the registry key that appears to be corrupted . However, if you nothing about registry keys, then you can't do it unless your company systems people can help you.  The registry entries are:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Acrobat Reader
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Adobe Acrobat
    It is a question of renaming them while you have exited from acrobat.  Once this is done, restart the system and start/launch the acrobat and the fresh keys will be generated.  PLEASE NOTE: DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE HELP OF YOUR SYSTEMS PEOPLE IN YOUR COMPANY.
    Hope this helps.

  • Java apps have started running very slowly since last update.  Anyone else experiencing any problems.

    There is an java app that I have run for years without any problem  Within the last few days it started running very slowly.  I went to the Apple store and ran the same app and experienced exactly the same problem 
    Yesterday I tried running this app on a Windows based machine and it ran perfectly. 
    I was all set to download the latest java when I saw that Apple supplied the java version on the MAC.
    I have run sotware updates and get results that all software is uptodate.
    Any suggestions?

    There are many people who have posted about persistent  export failures since the update. A search will uncover a number of threads just within the past month. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to these problems – and if there is common fix, I haven't heard about it.
    However, the update hasn't been a problem for me – nor presumably has it been for the majority of users.

  • My iPod Touch 4 responds and runs VERY slowly, it is probably not even a year old, is restoring it the only option?

    My iPod runs VERY slowly, I preordered it when the first white iPods came out. Even typing here it can't keep up, I know if you have less than 6 GB left on your memory it supposedly runs slowly so I deleted stuff and have 13 GB left, I also always close my apps every few hours and my apps always shut down unexpectedly or even before the app can get to the main screen. I do not want to but a new one at all and my dad suggests restoring it and putting it to its original settings but I'm afraid I'll lose my smurfs village and tiny tower. So is restoring your iPod the only way to improve the speed or are there other things?

    Try backing up the iPod and then restoring friom backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup make sure that all you synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library since synced media is not in the backup. You iPod will be like it was, included app data like saved games, when the backup was made.

  • After automatic update of Firefox 3.6, it is now running VERY slowly!

    After having Firefox automatically update itself on June 22, 2010, it is now running VERY slowly for me, and is taking a LONG time (10-15 minutes) to even open!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Yesterday,Tuesday, June 22, 2010

    I installed 3.6.4 on XP June 23 and had much the same experience, except Firefox 3.6.4 never finished opening, even after nearly an hour, and brought my entire system to an excruciatingly slow crawl, even though pgm mgr showed FF getting 0% and system idle with 97-98. This happened twice with a reboot in between. Finally had to roll back to a previous restore point and all is fine now, except--no new version of Firefox. I'll wait to see more feedback about 3.6.4 before trying to install again.

  • IPhoto 6.06 Update running very slowly

    I updated my iPhoto to the latest version and now it is running very slowly. Imports of 20 photos take in excess of 1/2 hour. I'm also using backup and I noticed that my iLife backup is also running very slowly since my update of iPhoto. I also noticed that when I browse my photos, the latest photos imported show up as dashed lines with titles, but no photos. If I double click the dashed outline, my photo shows up in single browse mode. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to revert back to the older version and still save my photos? Thanks in advance for any insight.

    Steve:
    The gray background with dotted lines are due to iPhoto losing the link to the large files. Try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three option.
    Also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
