Why itunes install so slow
I can't beleive how long it takes to install iTunes. It is unbeleivable. I have been sitting here for over 2 hours in Starbucks. It is still going and going. Most video games only take an hour or so.
It would help if you could be more specific about the problems you're experiencing. I run iTunes on a variety of Windows systems: a 10-year desktop running WinXP SP3 / 32 bit, a desktop running Win7 / 32 bit, two laptops running Win7 / 64 bit and a netbook running Win8.1 / 64 bit. The only performance issues I see are on the older machines, where some library operations can be a little slow but these can be explained by the size of my library (approx. 600 Gb). There are, however, all sorts of combinations of hardware and operating system that can affect application performance - iTunes is something of a memory-hog so can contribute to performance issues if running at the same time as other memory, processor, or disc intensive applications. One example I had in the past was the combination of iTunes with a resource-hungry anti-virus utility (solved by changing the latter and making sure that scheduled scans happen at times when I'm highly unlikely to be running iTunes).

Is there a technical explanation for why iTunes runs so slow?
I seem to experience a lack of performance using iTunes on a PC. It doesn't seem to matter which PC as I have tried many over the years. But the problems persist. Slow program loading, syncing problems, (both USB and wi-fi), iTunes Match problems, program freezes and unresponsiveness, changing from "Install" to "Will Install" in app lists. It really detracts from the over all experience with my iPhone and iPad. I have talked to people with Macs and they never seem to have these problems. I am curious as to why the difficulty in running iTunes on the PC platform. I have never really found a resource that directly addresses the matter and am looking for suggestions other than faster computers or reinstalling, which I have done many times.

ITunes is very slow when updating apps
Since a few days iTunes is very slow when updating apps and downloading updates for iPad etc.
Very often a download is ended with the message server reply time to long.
I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes on an iMac mid-2010 with latest OS. I have some 3-4 GB out of 12 GB memory free and 70GB free out of 500 GB storage. I have measured my internet connection speed and it is very good 95-98 Mbit/sec.
I can't see any obvious reason to why iTunes is so slow. Have anyone experienced this? Please help!Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point. -

Why is the itunes download so slow
why is the itunes download so slow - I am trying to download itunes update to recognize my new ipod touch 5th generation and my pc will not even show it in itunes, in trying to download the update the speeds are so slow that it is estimating download time in days. I have stopped and started the apple in services, but it is still unrecognized.
you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way -

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Iphone or Ipad?
It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may not work) -
Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC?
Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC? I can download the 64-bit installer from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427
But after I run the installer, I get an error message stating that the installer is for 32 bit machines and that I should download and install the 64 bit installer instead. (Been there, done that, using two different browsers for the download.) Why would I get such a message when my PC is 64 bit O/S and the iTunes installer purports to be for that type of PC?
Please help,
-BruceWhen you get on the download page scroll down on the left hand side there is 64bit version. I installed it. But the thing I can't work out is in task manger says 32bit

I rented a movie via itunes on my apple tv 3 days ago. I still cannot view it on my television. I have checked all internet connections, routers, speedtests..etc and have come to the conclusion that it is simply the itunes download on apple tv. I can view netflix no problem on the same apple box.
I now have downloaded the same movie to my computer and am watching almost instantly. What is happening here? I used to rent movies on itunes via apple tv and get almost instant streaming now it's incredibly slow!It doubful thats its your PC per se, alot of people are reporting the store being alittle on the slow side.
It won't last long, its just apple make all these changes 3-4 days ago, a week or 2 they will have it all str8.
You can overlook your network setup tho, make sure the connection isn't looping around thru ports on the router and slowing you down. I doubt thats it tho, iTUnes increased the resolution of there video, so in turn the files are bigger. This is why iTUnes now has a download manager in it so you can pause things when needed -
