iTunes is pretty snappy for me. (Except for the Store which for whatever reasons takes forever to load.)



Connecting your iphone or ipod touch is snappy? I have two mac Minis an ipod touch and iphone, when I connect either of them to either Mac Mini(one of 2007 and one from 2010) it takes forever for it to sync, which then I can finally transfer digital files onto said device.

Now when I do the same thing on windows (transfer digital files), it's plug in device and drag and drop and your done.

Overall Im a MAC person now, but far as I know there is no easy way to drag and drop digital files onto any Apple device where it's as easy as Windows.


Obligatory: Mac is not an acronym. MACs are the Media Access Control address on network cards, Macs are computers.


I honestly don’t know how long it takes to sync my iPod touch. I just plug it in to charge and leave it plugged in.


Umm that is my point. When you want to quickly drag and drop files onto an iphone or ipod it has to sync first which for me and sounds as you takes awhile! You cant plug in play and immediately drag and drop.

I guess everyone is use to waiting and waiting for it to sync then transfer their media files as my initial post is getting downvoted?


If you don't want to sync, why not choose Manually Manage Music?


I didnt have to make any settings change when I plugged in any non apple device into various PCs. By default it was simple and what I was used to when transferring music.
