Has anyone encountered 80+% cpu usage while using itunes? any clues what could be wrong? maybe my sound configuration?

CHeers

Seph

#66119

mine uses 80% and more, when watching the visuliazations.

normallly 5-8%

#66122

i couldnt find a keyboard shortcut for forwarding and rewinding a song. Just like winamp, you press the right cursor and you forward 5 secs.

checked the keyboard list...but nothing.

#66125

well, mine, while playoiing will use up 80+% without visualizations!!!

Any clues what could lead to this?

#66126

ahh yea seph, it uses 80% when u have turned on the sound check effect. it will sound check all the songs in the library. the more songs u have the more time it will take n cpu will be at 80% n this will also be the case when u add songs to it.

#66130

oh, so the sound check will run in the bg until it has checked all of the songs? and then eventually stop?

edit

Silly me, since i was playing music i didnt see that it actually sys chekcing for volume song 1 of whatever, sorry guys... and thanx!

#66132

yes. how many songs do u have in ur library??

u can see the status of it where it shows the elapsed time of the song played. but if u have the equalizer shown there, it wont show.

edit : oo u got it :D

#66137

Does anyone know how to select a group of songs and have iTunes automatically fill in the track numbers for you? It's a real pain to enter them 1 by 1.

Did you reboot after install?

If so, did you leave the 'Gear' service running?

If you choose to show track numbers in the list, you can then click once and leave the mouse OVER the track number space and it will allow you to enter it there.

Otherwise, you have to recapture the sonegs using iTunes and tell it to grab the track numbers...

I did reboot after install and the helper is running. iTunes recconizes the CD (by way of a CDDB) but when i go to play it nothing happens and thn i have to force-quit iTunes.

I got one big problem i bought a Natural M. Keyboard and today, after downloading iTunes (it is really the best player i have ever seen) i tried using the skip track and play and stop buttons but iTunes reacts as if i press the buttons twice.

For example i press the play/pause buttons while playing, it just goes on instead of pausing, thats annoying

anyone got a clue how to solve this problem ??

#66350

get rid of the proprietary drivers or the 'keyboard tray icon/controller'

#66351

for using the special buttons you have to install the intellitype software from microsoft and i got the newest version so i think i got the right drivers, but it still doesn´t function

#66357

is there no way you can keep intellitype and not keep teh drivers? try and update teh driver in device manager to something like default keyboard or something of that sort
