When syncing large database of photos (107,000 photos) constituting nearly 35GB, itunes takes forever on "importing photos" even if i select only 1 folder of 10 images. Windows 7, IPAD Air both latest versions. photo library is on my local internal HD .
i tried selecting a folder with less than 50 photos as my source, importing photos phase still takes longer than what sounds normal for such a small number of photos, but the job is done nevertheless.
But what is worth noting, is that even if i run another pass of sync without touching the photos section (i.e. neither adding nor deleting any photo from the previous sync) it still takes the same amount of time on the "importing photos" phase.
when i select the actual photo library folder as my source (the one containing the 107,000 photos); at that point even selecting a subfolder in it that contains merely 10 photos generates the same dilemma.
i tried photoshop elements, spent like 4 hours building my library there, hoping that if i select it as the source in the photo tab in itunes, things would work out for the better, i was mistaken!
at this point am really out of options, and need some serious help.
few extra diagnostic infos:
the above manifests even on other devices like my iphone5.
the computer used is not exactly top notch but works for my Autocad drawings, i figure it should suffice for itunes (Dell Pentium D 3.19Ghz, 4GB Ram, 3TB HD, running windows 7 (32bit) ultimate)
the above persists when i sync wirelessly (not a USB bug issue)
please any help is appreciated, if you need further details, kindly let me know

If Steve jobs still alive you would never have published such software, befor everything would have worked flawlessly.
Dear would you let the customers wait another month. This would be the end product was great.

DarioYou need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
See Here for one way

Or...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

Memory consumption issues (when doing large batches of photos)
I have a user who reports my plugin consumes memory until Lr/System is no longer operable, when doing large batches of photos.
I have this type of problem too from time to time, but not always, and in the most recent case, *not* for the same operation my client is complaining about.
Begs the question: is there a way to control whether excessive memory is used, or force it to be released, when doing an operation upon large batches of photos.
Note: the operation is already concluding catalog transactions every 1000 photos (exits with-write function, and re-enters). My client reports Lr/System slowdown at about 4000 photos. He is running Lr3, Windows OS - system details not yet known.
RobHey Rob
Have you already tried John R. Ellis idea of reducing the transaction size? I remember from another project we had to limit the transaction size on a SQLite based database due to memory problems.
Maybe you are facing a different problem - not sure how efficient LUAs garbage collection is and your code causes some kind of memory leaks somewhere.

I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?
Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes? -

Importing photos from my computer, running windows, to iPad Air is extremely slow!
Hey guys,
I am syncing about 30 GB of photos and videos from my computer to my iPad using the latest version of iTunes (just updated today).
It's not my first time syncing my photo library. I've done it on my iPad 2, iPad 3 and even the iPhone 4S and this has been by far the slowest: almost two hours and I am not even half-way through.
Has anyone else had this problem? Sure, I mean recently... I have seen many other discussions on the issue.
Thanks in advanceI am not sure whether I can say I fixed the problem, but not including the videos made the syncing speed normal again. It is not even that much (a couple of gigs compared to 25 GB of HD photos) but apparently it has a massive effect.
So next time, just uncheck "include videos" and you should be good to go. Who knows? Maybe Apple introduced that option in the recent iTunes versions untill they fix the bug or whatever it is. -
How can I access my iTunes music library using my iPad air, both in my home wifi environment and away from home? Music loaded onto iTunes on my home windows PC. Thanks
Start iTunes on the computer and connect your iPad to your computer. Select your iPad in iTunes on your computer then select the Music tab in the main window. You can choose to sync all music to your iPad or select only those playlists you want on the iPad. When you click on .sync or Apply the selected music will be copied to your iPad.
You can sun photos this way also. -
This article seems to be based off of an older version of iTunes. With iTunes 11 I have no left side column. The screen shot is not what is on my computer with the latest version of iTunes. I need help putting music and pictures on my new iPad from iTunes, the new iPad and latest version of iTunes. Thank you.
On iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - it should then look similar to that article.

Note that synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you need to include all the photos that you want on the iPad from your computer in each photo sync. -

I just updated my original iPad to the latest version
I just updates my iPad to the latest version and now my apps will not open. Please help :/
If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I have an iPad1 and just purchased an iPad Air, both of which are on the same iTunes account. Is it possible to UNSYNC the two iPads with the purpose of using the iPad1 as a "Bare-Bones" library for my frequent guests: The content of my KINDLE, AUDIBLE, & ZINIO Accounts/Apps. How would I go about doing this, if it is at all possible?
Is it possible to have an Iphone and an IPAD on the same Itunes account on a PC?
yes.
the number of mobile devices you can use with a single instance of iTunes is virtually unlimited.
