Very slow i-tunes 7.1. Should i take an older version? Or something else?

I-tunes upgraded itself to version 7.1
Since the 7 version (i think) my i-tunes is very slow. It takes 10 seconds when i click on a song to get it played. Besides that I installed some new anti-virussoftware (NOD32, Spysweeper). Is it possible that this new version makes your computer slower and would it help to get an older version of i-tunes? I was pretty satisfied with the older versions, but now i am pretty upset. Or is there something else i should do? I think my computer should be able to work this.
Some spec's:
P4 / 2.6 ghz
1 Gb on RAM
200 Gb of files (use it all day long, so its pretty irritating)

Upgrading to Vista gives problems. There is another topic on that subject. Maybe you can find a solution over there. I still have XP and still am wondering what causes the problem. I see that I-tunes takes a lot of memory (up to 200Mb). IS that different in the older versions?
Thanx again!

  • I installed Firefox 4 two days ago, and my system immediately began to run very slow and/or crashes. Should I re-install earlier version (that opened with google instead of yahoo)? If so, how do I get it?

    Additionally I am getting a McAfee warning that "McAfee cannot update you software. Check your internet connection, and then try updating your software manually. If the problem continues please reinstall this software."

    You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

    In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

    Then Restore your iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer. See if better. If not, talk to Verizon and see if they know of the problem and if there is a fix. If not, then make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • Computer Running Slow... what should I do? is it the version or something else?

    I have a Mac Book, Mac OS X , Version 10.5.8 that is running very slow. I am assuming I need to save my files to an external hard drive, clean it up and then purchase and buy a new version.  Leopard? or something? Can anyone give me advice? I don't know what to do, but it's just so slow and hard to do anything. The colored wheel just spins and often I get the box that pops up that the program closed because of an error.
    Thanks!

    Here are two FAQ's to look over, one on addressing the colored wheel and one on steps to take to improve performance.

  • At 60 and totally confused w/version . Not  clue with how to use it and how to change it. My question - If a new version of i-tunes can be offered why not the older version as being a choice? Too simple or just impossible to do? I hate to drop i-tunes.

    At 60 years of age and totally challenged by todays technology I find it impossible to understand i-tunes Version 11. Don' ask me to try to try go back to a earlier version ( as much as I would like to). I have read some of the advice given, as well as intended as it is, I don't understand the process. I don't want to drop i-tune but I will. I am sure my library is not as large as many others who use it but it is just as important to me. This really saddens me.
    I do have two question if some one can help me. First, someone mentioned that if I go to previous restore point this might correct it. Yes or no? Secondly, if Apple can offer us a new version to download why can't they offer an older version to download. Too simple or impossible to do.

    You can still drag and drop a song into a Playlist, in the same manner as before. Simply use the left-click of your mouse to select-and-hold the song (left-click-and-hold, don't release the click) and drag it to and then drop it (release the click) into the Playlist you want. (You cannot drop it into a Smart Playlist, you can only drop it into a Regular Playlist.)
    ... and here's a screenshot dragging the song "Lazy Orbit" into the Regular Playlist "Sat 4th June 2011". A small + symbol also appears in the drag, but it doesn't show up on screenshots. If the move is forbidden, a red slash through a red circle appears instead of the + symbol.
    As for the Albums thing; in the Column Browser, right-click anywhere in the Column Browser header (see my screenshots in my previous post) and a menu appears. Deselect Albums on that menu to remove Albums from the upper Columns:
    ... and for the columns underneath (with the songs list etc.), right-click on that header bar and once again, deselect Albums from the menu that appears. The Albums column will then be removed from the lower columns list.

    Well, my advice to you is: do not think about what you think iTunes cannot do, instead, think about what you want to achieve - and then work out how to achieve it.

  • I do NOT like the new Firefox. I do alot of work back and forth with pages, with this new system it slows me down. How can I restore my older version

    I work on Bay listing items, I have to go back and forth on sites. The new firefox dosn`t allow this. It has back arrows, but pop up asking request are very annoying, and take much more time, The older version would allow me to drop down to the previous pages..I want my old version back. This new version has a whole lotta extra unneeded crap that just takes L O N G E R to load.. It sucks..How can I restore the older version

    See this thread:

  • DataSource extraction very slow ( from Source System to PSA it takes 23 hrs

    Friends,
    We have enhanced the datasource 0CRM_SALES_ORDER_I with the user exit....after the enhancement i.e (adding the new fields and wrote some coding to enhance ...) the data extraction takes place for around 23 hours. there is approximately 2,50,000 records.
    Can you please suggest any steps to tune up the performance of the datasource.
    NOTE: Data Extraction from source system to PSA alone takes 23 hrs.once the data is arrived in PSA then the loading of data to cube is fast.
    PLZ help me to solve this issue.

  • Accidentally and stupidly dropped phone in sink while it was running.  Phone works, but blue stuff on bottom of screen.  Left in bag of rice for 12 hours, no change.  Should I leave in longer or try something else?

    Yesterday evening I accidentally dropped my iphone 5s in the sink while it was running.  I immediately removed it and it started acting funny (sreen would turn on and off on it's own).  It stopped doing that and was working fine.  However, shortly after when I had time to really look at it, I noticed blue-ish stuff on the bottom of the screen.  I turned it off and put it in a ziploc bag with rice for over 12 hours.  Turned it back on today and the blue stuff is still there.  Anything I can do?  Should I put it in rice for longer?  My concern (aside from the blue stuff driving me insane) is that the phone may suddenly die on me at any moment if there's still water in it and it's only a matter of time.  Will an apple store do anything?  I can't replace the phone.  I haven't had it for very long, but it is definately out of warranty period (not that apple covers water damage anyway).  Any help is much appreciated!

    Now before you do anything else, put it back in the bag and leave ot there for another week.
    Turned it back on today
    Oh, too late...
    Try it anyway.
    I haven't had it for very long, but it is definately out of warranty period (not that apple covers water damage anyway). 
    Apple warranty is 1 year and iPhone 5S has not been released for 1 year.
    However, dropping it in the sink has voided the remainng warranty.
    You can get a replacement fro $269 (U.S.) at an Apple store.

  • DVD-R: Should I use 16x or 8x, or something else?

    I need to burn some DVD's of a movie I created in iMovie and want to ensure that they will be playable on most DVD players. Which type of DVD-R do you recommend for this purpose? Brand names and burn speeds would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Yes.
    There is much discussion about lower burn rates (I burn 16x DVDs at 2x or 4x), largely due to the different qualities of coating on various brands of DVDs. I only use Verbatim and Fuji DVD-R.
    Not everyone agrees, but here is the story so far:
    Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn and that the most reliable brands are Verbatim, Maxell and Fuji, all DVD-R, burned at 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
    I generally use Verbatim and when I can't get those, Fuji, and have never had a coaster from either.
    Plenty of coasters in the early days from Sony, TDK and a few others.
    The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
    Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
    Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
    There are some interesting facts here:
    http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
    http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
    But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated, as in this useful article:
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/guides/media/dvd-media-concepts.htm
    Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!

  • For AMD PhenomII x4 965, should I take a 790FX-GD70 or something lesser?

    I will be playing games sometimes (Left 4 Dead 2, Fallout 3) but it doesn't need to be fantastic, just a lot better than what I have now (my current system runs Left 4 Dead 2 well enough at 640 x 480 with low/medium settings but I want to see it in high settings and decent resolution). I've never had much luck with overclocking and don't want to spend much, if any, time on optimising. If I want to use fast DDR3 though (and I do), then I have to overclock, right?
    Here is what I thought:
    Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 (with stock cooler)
    Motherboard: 790FX-GD70 - four PCIe slots is probably excessive for me but the alternative has only one PCIe x16 while the other is x8? Wouldn't two x16 have been much better?
    RAM: I had been considering Generic 4x 2GB PC3-14400 DDR3 1800MHZ DDR3 but since I'm now reading about how finicky a processor can be, I'm reconsidering. Is OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB the best value in the UK, or should I try somethng else?
    Graphics card: I had thought 5770 was sensible (budget: £125) but now I see that members of the 4xxx series sometimes outperform this member of the 5xxx series. How confusing? They don't make this easy...
    PSU and HDDs will be taken from my current system. I have a Maxtor Diamondmax 22 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache for the system disk.

    Right on thx for your replies. 
     Think I might go for the Phenom II X4 945 because of the low 95W  its the lowest wattage but still has the 6MB L3 
     I 'd like to go for a much lower wattage then my current Phenom 9750 125W heat monster 
     But also plan on getting a gold standard PSU etc to save on my overall power usage. I run BOINC 24/7/365 so heat & power consumption are important to me. 

  • In an older computer should I install an older version of Premiere Pro for DV editing?

    Hi all.  I will try to make sense out of my question.  I have a Pentium D, 3.60GHz 4gig ram windows 7 64bit computer.   Installed I have Premiere Pro CS5.  It seems to be working fine for DV editing since I do basic stuff (couple of filters, etc.). I get no drop frames and playback from the time line is decent.  But I see that on the different versions of Premiere Pro, each higher version asks for higher system requirements, so I would like to know If I install on that same system lets say, Premiere CS4 or CS3, will it run faster since the system requirements are lower, or it doesn't matter since I will be doing the same thing that is editing DV material.   Are the extra system requirements for example in CS6 mainly for the new high definition codecs that are supported, extra effects etc?  If I install in the future CS6 will I have  then lower performance that I have today for editing DV?  Thank you all in advanced for your insights on this.

    I'd like to see a comparison with say CS2. I tend think that your current software might run marginally faster. I warn you against going to CS6, as it seems to have higher computing overhead thus far, and there has been some issue with DV editors connecting to dv devices. I don't see where it could help your dv workflow very much.
    But Dude.....,Pentium D, 3.60GHz?  You could build a new PC funded solely by the electricity that you would save over 18 months. Combine that with savings from not upgrading to CS6 and join us all here in modern computing land. Editing HD natively (It will happen for you) without rendering previews, exporting to DVD and mp4 in minutes instead of hours. It is so worth it. Is this your work's or your church's system where its just not your choice to upgrade? Here at work we were finally able to upgrade to CS5 capable systems 2 years ago, and HD material had already become a big workflow issue with us, even though we were primarily working with DV. I also had to upgrade my home system to take on any freelance editing. You can rock with any modern i5 or i7 quad core, 12gb memory, and a gtx card. You could also get and AMD 6 or 8 core and maybe save a little $ there.
    I just wouldn't ever consider upgrading the software before that rig.

  • Should I "disable" the older versions of Java Console prior to version 6.0.24?

    While exploring the new features of Firefox v4.0 I discovered, in the Add-ons Manager, that all of the previous versions of Java Console, back to v6.0.05, were still enabled. Should I disable all versions prior to the most recent?

    I'm quite sure that it is not possible to extricate Java from MacOSX. When installed, bits and pieces of it go everywhere and to locate individual items and remove them is next to impossible.
    That said, I believe it has been attempted, but whether successfully, I can't say.
    Reason I know this is because I ran into problem with latest version of JRE on MacOSX machine operating as FileMaker server. Latest version of JRE caused java-based administration console to break.
