They make the Mac version faster on purpose. Viral marketing in a waySalamantis said:Upgrade your computer? I've timed my iTunes and from clicking the app to the main window appearing takes 2.7 seconds and syncing my iPod takes about 8 seconds.Golfman560 said:iTunes is shit, the time it takes to load up on my computer I've had time to transfer 10gigs of music back and forth between two hard drives before it loads. And then it takes like an hour just to sync my Ipod.
Anyway I have an ipod touch. I have a quad core PC running Windows 7. iTunes takes 15 seconds to start up, and acts retarded. Firefox starts in less than a second, so does Office, Pidgin, IRC, and World of Warcraft (yes, WoW launches near instant). It's shitty programming.
It's frustrating to use. No I don't want to sync my library over, I want to install one song; I don't want to change my sync settings every time I want to transfer something over selectively. UI looking tacky (because it doesn't look like a normal Windows window) aside, the display refuses to refresh when I'm syncing large files and hangs instead.
So I jailbroke it and stopped using the built-in audio player.
but this is my last iPod.
