hi, thanks to the person who helps me
my iTunes takes forever to open, a little window pops up and has searching content, something like that,
yes I have a lot of music and movies etc, but its starting to **** me off
everything!!
Hi Hope i could help.
what system (PC Or Mac) are you using ?
Need full details about your configuration. What type of computer? What OS X or OS? What version of iTunes? Are you using Apple Music? iTunes Match? Has this been going on for a long time, or is it something that has only recently happened? Has anything changed recently?
We cannot see your computer, you need to draw a picture.....
Cheers,
GB
lastest OS, i have a new iMac i don't have apple music, i have music match i hardly ever shut off my computer, but it happens every time i start iTunes from being totally shut off. i did notice however, that if i unplug everything it starts up faster
How does your iMac start if you unplug everything? It needs power.
Have you tried disabling Genius in iTunes preferences?
The instructions on this link worked brilliantly for me: http://osxdaily.com/2010/05/05/itunes-loading-slowly-heres-a-simple-fix-to-speed -launch/
In short you hold the option key down and click the blue button (I forget exactly what it says)| then you highlight the folder that is labeled "iTunes"| click "open"
The next launch takes moments!
My iTunes was taking over a minute to launch on my late 2010 macbook pro, now it takes a couple of seconds, hope this helps you too.
You can try that, no harm I guess, but I fail to see how in any scenario it would speed up opening iTunes. Well, I guess speed up in terms of iTunes otherwise presenting you with an error message it cannot find a library file and sitting there waiting until you tell it where to find one. The option key start method is how you tell iTunes to use a different library, so unless your issue is one where iTunes is using the wrong library or no library at all...
The explanation in the link I provided is the best I can give you for why it worked:
"The interesting thing is that you’re loading the same music library as before, so the speedup must be related to a more recent cache being available."
I only know that it worked for me, the "how" is beyond my computational knowledge. :-)
why does iTunes take so long to open?
