Why is CD import so slow since downloading latest i Tunes?

Running Windows Vista - was forced to upgrade to latest version of i Tunes and since then I can't import CD's (or access the store).
I can't believe how rubbish i Tunes has been over the years but this time I'm at my wits end!!
Help!!!

Try Applejack.

It runs in single user mode. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO,"  you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.

Also, try applying the 10.6.8 Combo update.

  • Why is my MacBook really slow since uploading Yosemite

    Why is my MacBook really slow since installing Yosemite?

    If you have less than 4 GB of memory (not 8 GB) as shown in the About This Mac window, Yosemite won't perform well. Otherwise, see below.
    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Has anyone else had problems since downloading latest update?  My iTunes stopped working and mobile device won't download, I now don't have Apple to backup my iphone?

    As i've posted in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
    I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
    Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
    My big question here is :
    why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
    I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

  • Since downloading latest itunes cannot open itunes

    since downloading latest itunes cannot open itunes

    EDIT:
    Steps
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    After verifying that iTunes is completely uninstalled, restart your computer and then download and install the latest version of iTunes.
    If the issue you are troubleshooting is not resolved after following these steps, it is not necessary to remove and reinstall iTunes multiple times. Instead, you may find helpful information on the iTunes Support page, such as troubleshooting steps related to specific alert messages.
    **try these steps, make sure you remove all components of itunes that it says and in that order specifically.
    there are several other steps to try to solve the issue, but this is typically going to be the best option.
    luck

    OK, thanks. First, open Disk Utility and the Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD. You can find DU in Applications - Utilitie. After doing so please restart in Safe Mode, this is easily done by holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard when you hear the start up tone, you will see a progress bar appear letting yuo know it's starting in Safe Mode. Then reset the SMC and PRAM, instructions can be found by clicking iMac SMC and PRAM reset. Then retest.

  • Import running slow since last days.

    I have a issue where Oracle 9i database import is running very slow since last couple of days. The process used to be completed in 5 hours every day. But since last two days it is taking 10 to 15 hours to complete. I have checked the data-file size, and export dump-file sizes are consistent with what it used to be. There are no any significant changes in the database size no errors reported in the import and alert log files. Please help me Identify and resolve the real cause of this performance degrade.
    Thanks,

  • Why is my iPod so slow since ios5

    Why is my iPod so slow after I updated to ios5.

    first turn off iCloud, as much as we all love it, it makes out devices really slow and it tends to make the home screen freeze after unlocking at times. next you want to limit the things in both spotlight, and the apps in your notification center. turning off location services is also a good way to cut down on memory usage and so is removing the weather and stock widget for the notification center.
    these things will speed up your device, but the most important to remove out of all of these is iCloud, the others are just more suggestions(:
    also remove unwanted apps running in the background by double tapping the button, holding on an app until it goes into toggle mode, and click the red minus button to stop it from taking up memory in the background...
    this will 100% speed up your device and get rid of unwanted bugs/glitches(:

  • Why is my iphone 3g slower since software upgrade...

    I know other people who have complained about the same thing that the 3g is slower since the software upgrade a few months back. Why? Everything on the phone is a tad slower since the upgrade. Weren't upgrades designed to improve the performance, not decrease it?

    are you up to date with the siftware?
    do you have a lot of memory left?
    have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
    all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

  • Really slow since downloading your latest, not happy.

    Since the latest download from Firefox, everything is slower, a lot slower, like dial-up, and I have cable. When I X out of Firefox, then want to get back on, warning box says it's already running but not responding, never got that before.
    I am not happy, not use to waiting for things to come up.
    I want that latest removed and go back to what was before, at least I had no access problems.
    And another which has been bugging me since I switched to Firefox, when I Google anything, it sends me to another search engine, then another, and so on.....so frustrating.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Since downloading latest OS (07?) on my 4G-S can't use regular charger.  Phone blinks and bleats but does not charge.  Can charge in car and from  computer keyboard port.  Much slower.

    Since downloading os 7.1 to my Iphone 4G-S I have been unable to charge it on the regular charger.  I can use my USB port on my keyboard and my car charger but when I hook up to my regular charger the phone blinks on and off and bleets little beeps and does not charge.  Ipowered off and on again with no success.

    No such model exists, therefore there cannot possibly be an issue with it. 
    If it works with other chargers, that would indicate a problem with the charger.

  • Why is my ipad so slow at downloading?

    I have the be ipad with retina display and it is horrendously slow at downloading.
    I have looked at other tips and cleared my history, cookies and running apps ... rebooted the ipad.... And still I can only get about 10 seconds into any video before it grinds to a halt. Also, I can only just download the most basic apps after about 10 minutes of slow downloading.
    I have downloaded the same speediest app on my iPhone 4S and iPad and both get the same result of 14 to 16 Kbps yet the iPhone can Ste Sam and download video perfectly and the ipad can't!?
    Can anyone help???
    This seems to be a regular issue and apple's helpful phone line is closed!!!!

    Check you download speed with Speedtest.

  • Why is my computer running slow since upgrading to os x yosemite?

    I upgraded my MacBook 13" Aluminum (2008) to OS X Yosemite earlier this year, and ever since, my computer has not been as fast as it was on OS X Mountain Lion or before.  It ran fine then, but my speed has fallen harshly.  Is there a way to make my computer operate faster?

  • Why is my iMac very slow to download Safari

    I bought my iMac in Feb/12. It has run very well since then. All of a sudden in the last week, downloading Safari after turning on the computer takes a long time. Safari is downloading very slow and sluggish. Anything else I try to open after turning on computer also opens very slowly. I don't dare close Safari until I'm finished with computer now, because it will take forever to open it up again.
    I was running Bitdefender on my computer before. Bitdefender doesn't work right, so I uninstalled it, but still have the program in my Applications area. Could something from Bitdefender be activated somehow and slowing my computer down? Is some form of Adaware doing this? Before my iMac, I use to have a Windows XP computer, and I'd scan for viruses in a case like this, which would usually help. But Bitdefender on here did not work, and now I'm wondering what I should do? Where should I even start? Because this can't continue.  Please help!  Thanks

    Could something from Bitdefender be activated somehow and slowing my computer down?
    Yes. Back up all data, then uninstall "Bitdefender" completely according to the developer's instructions -- NOT by dragging an application to the Trash or hunting for files by name.
