Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / July 2008Takes Forever To Rename iPod Files
Using iTunes when I choose the movies on my iPod, select a movie title and rename it, it takes up to 3 minutes for the new name to appear. I have a 60 gig video iPod that I purchased in Canada when they first came out. I have installed new iPod systems when they are suggested by software update. What can I do to speed up the renaming process? Any tips, greatly appreciated.

Earl Williams, Surrey, British Columbia I suggest you try posting your question on Apple's iPod/iTunes forum at http://www.apple.com in the support-->discussions section.

Earl Williams, Surrey, British Columbia It's important to realize that any time you change ID3 tags in a movie, iTunes must copy the entire movie file and rewrite it to disk. Three minutes does seem excessive; but depending on how large the movie file is, the speed of the media on which it is stored, and other related factors, it may take a while for that write operation to complete.  SignaturePlease send all responses to the relevant news group rather than directly to me, as E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. You'll need to use a real news reader if you want me to see your posts. JR Thank you, Jolly Roger, now I understand why it takes so long. Earl Williams, Surrey, British Columbia |
