Q: Updated to iTunes 12.2.2.25, now get pinwheel all the time - help!

Hi everyone!

 

Recently updated to the latest version of iTunes, and performance has crawled to a halt. I'm getting 5-10 seconds of the dreaded pinwheel every time I attempt to work inside iTunes -- skipping from track-to-track, renaming tracks, clicking on different tracks in different playlists, creating new playlists -- things have really slowed down for me. I even get the pinwheel when I try using the miniplayer to skip a track, it's pretty bad.

 

Hoping there's a simple solution out there -- I realize this is a common problem, but searching through old threads hasn't helped me yet.

 

Some info on my setup: My System Folder and iTunes are on a SSD drive, and my iTunes library (493 gigs) is on a separate SSD drive.

 

I run OS X Yosemite (v 10.10.5) on a Mid 2010 Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors with 64 BG 1333 MHz DDR3 EEC memory.

 

Happy to answer any specific questions that you might have!

 

Thanks for reading --

    Still very sluggish after switching to my backup drive, and still sluggish after following the instructions on "How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists".

     

    I will wait until after my trip to follow the instructions on "Rebuilding an iTunes Library: How to Do It & What to Expect", since it sounds like this can take a long time.

     

    Thanks for your help Linc and I'll update once I return!
