Will 6,000 songs slow down my macbook 2.2ghz?

Hi
I've searched for an answer for this with no luck yet.
My macbook is 4 months old, it's a 2.2ghz and has OSX 10.5.2.
I haven't installed my itunes library from my old computer yet: it has about 6,000 songs.
I like how fast this macbook is and I don't want it to slow down just because of songs. Will my macbook still run as fast with the library installed?
Thanks in advance!

Will my macbook still run as fast with the library installed?
Yes.
The only time the songs will slow it down is if the hard drive is full (as in very little space left) but it won't because they are songs. It will be because the OS does not have room to work on the HD.

Will OS Mountain Lion slow down my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) running 10.7.5?

I have a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) that is currently running OS Lion 10.7.5. I was just wondering if updating to OS Mountain Lion would slow it down in terms of performance, or if it will have any other bugs on my MacBook?
PS. When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?

When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?
A back up is a precaution that you should always have, not just when installing an update to the OS. Its purpose is no different from the seat belt you wear when you drive. Use it all the time, and hope it will never be really necessary.

Songs slowing down when I type

I'm running iTunes 7.7.1 on a new computer. iTunes had no problem on my old one, but on my new one, the songs slow down when I type, which is rather annoying, since I listen to music while, you know, typing. I'm on WinXP Pro, and everthing else is working great. Any ideas?

What tools, Mostly I work with iWeb using iPhoto, Aperture, Photoshop TeXture Adobe FormsCentral for Acrobat etc. making and editing Web Sites. Often I have many Apps open simultanously.

HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Yosemite upgrade slowing down my Macbook

Hi - I recently upgraded to Yosemite OS X and it has slowed down my Macbook (2011 model, 2Gb RAM). Everything runs painfully slow - booting up, opening any applications, opening Chrome, Thunderbird - EVERYTHING. Its been suggested I add RAM but not being a techie Mac user i havent a clue how to do that and not really sure i want to throw more RAM at an old-ish machine. I read on the forum about EtreCheck and am hoping this report may help me get some answers?
Thanks

OS X Lion - will it slow down my Macbook Air?

Does anyone know if the new OS X Lion will slow down the perfromance of my Macbook Air which has the following specifications:
2GB, 1,86 GHZ
or is it better to stick with the OS X 10.6.8?
I read today that Lion is having an impact on machines which have processors less than 2GHZ and are only equipped with 2GB
Thank you.

I did an inplace upgrade on my Gen1 13" 80GB IDE MBA model.
Whilst it was always an overheater of playing anything flash or full screen video I find the performance has not changed since my upgrade.
I am a light user.
Internet/cloud documents/messenger & remote desktop/VPN
The boot time was always poor for my MBA, but that said, how often do we reboot them
Ever since day one, I've never been able to run imovie/CS3 as it would throttle my MBA, but Lion installed fine, even when my HDD was 90% full.

Will my iPhone 5 slow down if I fill it up with songs?

Hi everyone, I used to have an iPod touch 4th generation, I filled it up songs until I had 3GB left, all my applications crashed. I was wondering, will that happen to my iPhone too? I have a 32GB iPhone 5 and I have like 20GB of music. I was supposed to get an iPod classic, but I read some reviews, that were saying that it was bad... Please help!

If storage is getting near the maximum capacity any device will slow down, it wont go to slow on the iphone as the iphone has more RAM than the ipod.
Thanks

Have an older iMac and am contemplating adding a new MacBook Air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule to increase WiFi speeds. My question is (a) is this a compatable setup and (b) will the older iMac slow the WiFi speeds?

Be careful about mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's disk. That will cause conflicts, sooner or later. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.

Itunes match and snow leopard, will the matched songs be on my macbook pro?

hi. if i sign up for itunes match from my macbook pro with snow leopard and i get all the tunes i have on there from cd's, will they now be on my laptop? or will they only be in the cloud and available to download to my iphone 4 with ios 5? i was getting psyched for all my old cd's that i ripped to sound way better on my macbook pro. will i also be able to make new burned cd's out of the new versions if they are on my laptop? thanks.

if i sign up for itunes match from my macbook pro with snow leopard and i get all the tunes i have on there from cd's, will they now be on my laptop?
They have to be on your laptop to begin with as iTunes Match scans your library to match the songs you do have.
Is your "laptop" another computer besides the Macbook Pro?

so when itunes match comes and i tell it to match my songs and pay my money where will the matched tunes go? only to the cloud? so on my itunes on my macbook pro the songs will still be the old cd versions, but if i go to my iphone 4 and check in 'purchased', 'not on this phone' the ones available will be the new versions?
Since iTunes Match has not yet been completed/released, exactly how it works has not been explained.
You have a limit of 25000 songs.
Any/all songs in your iTunes library that match what is in iTunes will be in the cloud. No need to upload them.
You can download these songs to your computer and your iPhone.
Any songs in your library that are not matched, will be uploaded to the cloud. You can download these songs and they count against the 25,000 song limit.
You can keep the originals and/or download from the cloud (for example if your originals are not 256 kbps or better).

Hello, I have iMAC 7,1, 20 inch, 4gigs of ram, Intel C2D perfectly runing OS Mavericks (10.9.5), will update to Yosemite, slow down my iMac?

Hello, I have iMAC 7,1, 20 inch,
4gigs of ram,
Intel C2D
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
HDD 320gig's
iMAC is perfectly runing OS Mavericks (10.9.5), with no lag, and no sluggish working, Multitasking is AWESOME (i have PC, with 8gigs of RAM, GeForce GTX570, etc etc), but i must say this MAC is running way better a way way, faster and I am Loving it!!! I am using it for making music, and video editing, i am Using Final Cut Pro x, Ableton 9, Logic Pro x, and bunch of other apps and it is working perfectly, and i am so shocked how machine old like this can do that stuff better than any PC i had, and not to mention that I use more time on iMAC than on PC, i use Windows PC just for occasional gaming, but that is like 10% of time, so i use my MAC in 90% of time.
So, enough of my iMAC. I am wondering if I update it to Yosemite, will my iMac slow down, and not continue to work like on Mavericks? Will it become sluggish and unresponsive? Will it affect reliability and stability which have on Mavericks? And will update delete my personal data (tons of Logic, Ableton and Garage band projects, and tons of Final Cut Pro projects), Applications (because I have some apps which is hard to find these days)...
I know bunch of you guys would tell me to backup my data, but i don't have External hard drive (they are pretty expensive in my Country), I have some friend who could borrow me External HDD, but they have their data on it, and they mostly use windows.. I did not use Time Machine yet, but i think probably it would format HDD on Macs partitions, so, i will do it on my own guys (don't judge me about that guys please)..
So if someone could answer me that, i will really appreciate that.
Thank you, and best Regards!!

I recommend you upgrade your RAM to at least 8 GB for good performance with the apps you're using. Also keep a minimum of 25-30 GB of free space on your boot drive for optimal system and application performance.
The maximum RAM a 7.1 iMac can address is 6GB, the OP can keep one of the 2GB DIMMs and then add a matching 4GB DIMM. If the OP decides to do this, please only purchase from Crucial or OWC at www.MacSales.com.
However as described on a 8 year old iMac, I'd stay with Mavericks and then when considering upgrading upgrade to a more up-to-date Mac.

External monitor slowing down my MacBook pro

I recently hooked up a brand new external Acer G205HV monitor to my 15" MacBook Pro (4gb RAM) using the mini display port to DVI adapter from Apple. I have an GeForce 9400M graphics card with 256mb ram. Whenever I have the monitor plugged in it slows down my computer tremendously. When I do not use the monitor, my laptop is back to being lightening fast.
Expose` and the dashboard lag a ton, and basically the internet craps out. I can barely load websites and streaming video has become virtually impossible. I have tried running with the laptop open and in clam mode. Same result. At first I thought I had a virus, which would be very very rare, but after using the laptop without the monitor I realized that the monitor was slowing me down.
The max resolution that I am running the monitor at is 1600x900 @60Hz. The DVI adapter is supposed to support a much higher resolution than this. Is my graphics card the issue? Any help is appreciated. thanks!

I have the same problem with a spring 2008 MacBook (4,1) with 4 GB RAM running 10.5.8. Using a DVI external monitor, the wireless speed drops by at least half and usually more. This is the case whether using a Samsung 2443 BW at home or a Dell at work. I've tried different DVI cables, changing channels from 11 to 1, no difference.
Took it to the local Apple store where they had only a VGA monitor to test with and, strangely, the wireless was unaffected. It was a small ACER monitor, a 15-inch or so, not wide-screen. Have had no other opportunities to try a VGA monitor, as I don't have a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
But I wonder if there's something there?
