What is the fastest speed for syncing ebooks through itunes

I have my iTunes set to AAC 256 kbps?  Is this the fastest setting?  I have it set to Manually Manage the downloads.  Some books are MP3 and some are WMA.  The MP3 went fast.  The WMA are taking several minutes per Part -- it may take an hour or more to sync a book from  my pc to my ipod Nano 4th generation.

The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • What is the average speed for the fans? Mine seem really slow.

    What is the average speed for the fans in a MacBook Pro? When my computer is fairly idle, like right now, the fans are at roughly 1000 rpm each. Is that normal? I have seen posts where the fans are 2500-5000 rpm, so mine seem a bit low. That may explain why my computer has been getting hotter more quickly lately - this started happening after Apple replaced my logic board a few days ago.

    I installed smcFanControl2 and according to that program, Apple's defaults are 2,000RPMs and the program will not let you set it any lower than that because of the increased risk of damage.
    My fans are always at 2,000RPMs during normal usage, and then once I fire up a DVD or Photoshop it usually goes up to the 3,000s or so.

  • I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members.  What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

    I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family.  What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
    I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
    Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

  • What's the maximal speed for E4200 l2tp protocol?

    And the ppoe ,pptp and dhcp ?
    i couldn't find data for it 

    Maximum Speed for any kind of a connection, let it be L2TP, PPPoE or DHCP, it all depends on kind of connection you have from the provider and obviously on the network that we are connected to.....
    Your question is not self explanatory, try and put in some details about what exactly you are looking for....

  • What's the fastest speed while importing?

    I'm importing CDs now at most 6.4x. I seem to remember importing at speeds of above 10x. Is my memory serving me right or why is there such a decrease in import times?

    If you've changed your import settings in iTunes, this could have a lot to do with the speed. WAV and AIFF are the fastest, since there is no lossy compression being done during the ripping process. Apple Lossless is reasonable fast, and the iTunes AAC and MP3 encoders are quite slow.

  • What's the fastest OS for my mom's iMac? (2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM)

    She's currently running 10.6.8 with 400GB of free space and it seems very slow. (I've run Repair Permissions in Disk Repair.)

    Thank you MichelPM.
    (To be honest, I thought this might be a simple question.  I thought for each machine there would be an optimum OS.)
    Here's the extra info:

  • What is the fastest speed your AX achieves?

    I'm curious to learn what others are experiencing.

    Hello again,
    I tried the link you provided and sadly under New Jersey the links are not working. The results I posted in your other thread were based of the test used in the Alan's post.
    Give this test a shot and post your results. There several locations provided so hopefully you can find one local to you.
    Here it is: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
    My results using the New York location gave me 7.2 MBPS down and 692 KBPS up. These are similar to Alan's results. I'll check some other sites and see how it compares. Good luck.

  • What is the best way for cleaning up duplicate iTunes files in iCloud?

    I have about 5000 of my songs in iTunes that are duplicates in iTunes, when I go to delete them it asks me to delete in iCloud too. I do this and then another file is either uploaded or downloaded with iClouds. Is there a webbased way to access iCloud and clean up duplicate iTune songs?

    iTunes 11 has removed the Show Duplicates/Exact Duplicates functions so I've added two new scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates to my scripts collection.
    If deduping by hand use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    The Exact Duplicates script makes a good starting point from which to run my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

    What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
    It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6.  Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
    When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether.  Is there a  way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

  • What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)

    What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)
    I'm a tech junkie, I love everything about technology.. especially FAST and EFFICIENT technology..
    I am currently using Google Chrome, and have nothing bad so say about it.. I like that I can "sign in" to Google Chrome pretty much anywhere (including my iPhone 5s), and instantly have access to all of my Bookmarks and Bookmark folders..
    I have seen a bunch of benchmark tests testing a bunch of available internet browsers on OSX.. however, the results seem a bit inconclusive and varying, and some that even support the notion that Safari is now FASTER than Google Chrome.. I'm not sure whether or not to believe it, and I don't really have the time/energy to conduct a series of tests on my own..
    What do you guys think? Is Google Chrome still considered the "fastest" when it comes to browsing/downloading?

    Has anyone used or have any opinions about Lightning?  I found some positive reviews around, and granted they all mention it's unrefined, they all seem to think it is the fastest.  Great as that may be, before I fork out the $2 I would like to get some more info regarding privacy and security.

  • Gave grandkids Ipads for Christmas.  I need to sync each to my Mac with their own Itune accounts.  I do have them on my computer with their own login.  What is the best way to sync their Ipads?

    I need to sync each of my grandkids IPads to my Mac with their own Itune accounts.  Each grandkid does have a login on my computer that I control.  On their IPads they each set up a ITune account.  What is the best way to sync their Ipads?  Is there something I need to make sure is turned on in their accounts on my computer?

    Hi Jodel,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your grandkids each have a user account on your Mac, you can use the steps in this article to set up syncing with each user account and iPad:

  • Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory?

    Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory? For instance, we have 40 staff members and wish to populate each phone with the Gmail profile. Right now we have a third party Android app that does this and copies my contacts to each phone. This is problematic. Any solutions to populate a phone with email and phone contacts? Even it it requires double entry for me...thats ok.

    Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
    I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
    SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
    One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
    I'd ask over in server...

  • What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6?

    What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6? I'm new to Mac so please excuse the weird question.

    Ok but that is a feature that I think is available to older Mac's that have an SSD so it is not totally restricted to Retina models or even the newest models of Mac's.
    With that you could say No Mac is what you paid for without ML installed. Which I disagree with.

    What would be the fastest os for my ipod touch 2G?

    If you have iOS 4.2.1, you have the latest and last version of iOS your 2nd-gen iPod touch will run, and that's probably the optimal version compared to older releases.
