My new computer can't even run a music video in iTunes (unless it's really tiny). It grinds the computer to a halt. Wtf? Quicktime has always sucked I think, but this is completely ridiculous. As soon as I run video in iTunes, my computer usage goes from 5-8% to 100%. Every time, no matter what I do. I am going to shoot a nasty email off. I personally don't see how apple is so much better than windows. They're all bloated. edit: Wow, just loading up quicktime grinds it to 100% even before a video. Wow, Vista plus Apple equals disaster. (Yes I have enough RAM)
Yep, I know what you guys are talking about...I hear my computer more when I watch a TV show on iTunes than just listening to music. With all of the updates recently to iTunes, it seems that the program requires more and more juice. Darn those dag-nabbit iPhones!!!:rant:
If they don't credit me for the music videos, then I am doing a chargeback. It's sad it won't work right, it's so choppy. I used to watch Battlestar Galactica on Itunes when I missed it (on the older computer) and it ran OK, though a bit slow at times. This computer is way faster for everything else, so it has to be apple/itunes.
Odd. What computer do you have? My PowerBook G4 can play video's with no problem, and I'm uusally running more than two or three programs while doing it.
Now you know why I absolutely won't buy any Apple products. I could have gotten an iPod for a lot less than I paid for my Zune, but at least I don't have something from Apple. -Jay
Acer Aspire. Turion 64 processor (totally forget the speed), 1480 MB of ram, 64 dedicated video card with 128 more shared I think. Anyway, it's pretty fast except with apple stuff Nothing fancy (cheap though!), but my old HP with a 3000+ Athlon with 512 ram ran itunes stuff fine.
Well I just upgraded to 7.3 (I think, the one with iphone support). Videos run better, but only if I use Windows Vista Basic, not aero. Whatever, it's stupid. Im sure itunes is fine, but just not so much with vista.
