Very slow CD import (and Backup) with itunes using Windows 7

I just got a new HP Pavilion Windows 7. It takes hours to import a CD thru itunes - seconds thru any other software. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes (all components) multiple times. Apple phone support was no help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you

It's probably something else entirely, but just check under *Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings* that you don't have a tick in the box marked *Use error correction when reading Audio CDs*.

*Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

  • Very Slow Internet Connection and Backups

    I have had a Time Capsule for some time now (1st generation) and it has caused nothing but headaches. I have put up with it for some time but I have a very slow internet connection and cannot leave Time Machine on or it bogs down my machine, so I only backup periodically. Specifics are provided below.
    I have a poor internet connection to begin with. When plugged in directly either to my modem or through Ethernet to the Time Capsule, I get download speeds of ~ 2.9 Mbits/sec download, 0.7 Mbits/sec upload. When connected over wireless, the speeds drop to about 0.6 Mbits/sec download, 0.6 Mbits/sec upload. I feel like I am working on dial-up. I have both a Mac and a PC, and speeds are the same on both, so it does not appear to be a computer issue. I have played with various settings in the Airport, including how connected (b-n or n only), DHCP settings, etc, but nothing makes a difference. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the discussion area, bigbrianb!
    Have you downloaded a utility like iStumbler to get a look at the signal strength and noise on your wireless network?
    iStumbler will display most of the other wireless networks around you, so you'll have an idea of the competition for unused channels. Ideally, you want your network to be on a channel that is at least 4-5 channels away from any other network to minimize the chances of wireless interference. Is that the case there?
    Your signal strength should be 50% or greater and noise less than 10% for a good quality connection on your network. Is that the case there?
    There are more things to test, but this will get things going.

  • Cannot get iPod to sync with iTunes using Windows 8 Laptop!

    I have been trying to get my iPod classic to sync up with iTunes using my Windows 8 Laptop all night!  I tried restoring the iPod, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, disconnecting my iPod to restart my laptop then plugging back in.  I also ran iTunes Diagnostics and it says my iPod isn't connected yet it shows on the sidebar.  I also have automatic sync set up.  When I hit sync, it initializes then stops.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there some trick I am missing.  Also, my iPod won't charge unless it is syncing.  What's up with that?
    Any help or advice would really be appreciated! 
    Thank you in advance.

    For the charging issue, some newer computers with USB 3.0 ports (especially laptops) seem to have a "feature" that saves energy by turning off full power to the port when the connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system.  An iPod is a storage device.  When iTunes syncs the iPod, iTunes mounts the iPod's dlsk.  So it gets full power on the port, and the battery charges.  When iTunes is done syncing, iTunes automatically unmounts the iPod's disk.  The system shuts off full power to the port, and the battery no longer charges.
    To work around this problem, go to the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  There is a setting their for Enable disk use.  Check that box and Apply.  This setting keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, when the iPod is connected.  Therefore, the port should continue to receive full power, and the battery charges.  That's fine for now, but later on, you can go into the computer's Control Panel preferences to see if there is a setting that disables this "energy saver" feature, and keeps the USB ports at full power all the time, whether the storage device is mounted or not.  If that is possible, you can turn OFF Enable disk use for the iPod.
    NOTE:  WIth disk use enabled, you need to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it safely from USB.  The Eject button is next to the iPod's name in iTunes (to the right).
    Now, for your main question about setting up automatic syncing...  First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
    Select the iPod in the sidebar.  To the right, its Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary.  Click on Music there, next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This setting enables automatic syncing.  If you want your entire iTunes music library on your iPod (and it fits), choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.  Going forward, any change you make to your iTunes music library syncs to the iPod automatically (at the next opportunity).

  • HT1296 When synching Outlook Contacts and calendars with iTunes for Windows, I do not get the option to "Synch Contacts with". It says, and cannot be changed, that it is synching with iCloud.  How do I get iTunes to give me an option other than iCloud?

    Using iTunes for Windows to synch my Outlook Contacts and Calendars into my iPhone 5, with the iPhone Device designated and in the Info tab, I do not have the option to "Synch Contacts with", but have an unchangeable message that it is synching with iCloud.

  • Syncing iPod with iTunes using Windows Vista

    I bought my iPod last December and had an Hp Laptop using Windows Xp. Recently I bought a new computer that has Windows Vista on it and since then I can't sync my iPod. iTunes won't recognise that it's even connected. I have transfered all my music and have the latest version of itunes available. Is there something else I have to download to make my iPod syc up? Please help!

    It should be working fine. Perhaps your cable has gone bad or the USB port has waffled. Hard to say without trying a few different things.

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
    it said this

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

  • Iphone 5 backup and sync with iTunes ..says i need more memory

      I just bought more icloud memory for my iphone 5...because it said i needed 1.4 gb of space to backup... It would not let me sync my iphone on itunes.  I still can not back up..What should I do?  I guess no reason to buy that 10 GB from itunes.

    You probably need more free space on your phone, not in your iCloud account.  (Additional iCloud storage doesn't increase the space on your phone.) 
    Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much available space you have.  If you need more and your music is in your iTunes library, delete your music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music, tap Delete.  Then back up and sync with iTunes, and sync back the music you still want on your phone.

  • I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks

    I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks
    P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.

    If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
    You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

    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

  • All of you who use the 80gb ipod classic and have problems with it freezing and syncing with itunes...well I have joined the club. This is a serious issue with apple and they need to correct it. I have tried everything to no avial.

    This is beyond frustrating. I just wasted 70 dollars between a new battery and gas for my ipod 80gb classic. It was having major issues syncing and freezing with itunes. I tried everything possible and noticed that a lot of people have been having the same issues with their ipod classics as well. I must have restored it several times and now it just totally bit the dust. Now I have to shell out 130 dollars to send it in to apple to be rebuilt/fixed. This is nonsense and I just cant believe apple isn't doing anything to address this issue. My ipod was doing great for about nearly 5 years and now  this. I even down-graded to itunes 10.7, but by the time I had it set up to try, that's when my ipod totally failed and will not even come on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Open and Save Dialogs Very Slow to Open and Populate

    In all of my apps, the Open and Save dialogs have become +very slow+ to open and populate since installing Snow Leapoard.
    This only happens on one of my machines, and not others. (I've unmounted all connected drives, just to eliminate that possibility.)
    Any thoughts on what this could be. The delay is significant (and feels like the old days of Windows, which I thought I'd left behind).

    The problem now appears to have gone away. The only change I've made is that I replaced an external drive that had recently died with a new one and gave it the same name as the failed drive.
    Could a the dead drive have left something behind (or failed to leave something behind) that is stumbled over (or looked for and not found) each time the file system was accessed, and that got cleaned up (or re-created) when the new drive was connected and renamed?
