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 --
