Guys,
I just bought a new Sony Z116 and love it, the picture quality and speed of this computer compared to my MB Air is awesome. Anyway I don't know if it is a apple thing but since i have installed iTunes on my Vaio (I have a iphone so need iTunes) iTunes is incredibly SLOW, example I want to make a ringtone in iTunes and if I right click on a song to get the songs info it can take 30 seconds to give me that info, normally on my MBA it is instantaneous.
One last thing I bought the Vaio bluetooth mouse and it keeps loosing its signal and I have to reboot to get it again (frustrating)
Anyway any help would be much appreciated

IMO, iTunes is horrible bloatware that also sneak-installs other software (like quicktime and safari) and umpteen background processes (like Apple's DRM, auto-updaters and dial-home-and-tell-uncle-steve-about-what-each-user-plays) that contributes greatly to the bloat.
My advice is to go with something leaner. foobar2000 has worked well for me, but YMMV. -
I need it for my iPhone

What power mode are you in.... Balanced or Performance? iTunes is a total CPU hog, and if it's not on performance, then it's noticeably slower for me.
EDIT: On mac, the code is WAYY more optimized, and since Quicktime is a core part of MacOS then iTunes will naturally run like butter on a Mac. -
I dont have a "balanced or performance" option on my Z what I have is auto or Stamina??
-
Just go in the configuration panel>Windows mobility center
Under the battery you can choose between performance configs from windows : "economy" "balanced" "performance"
You can custom this configs. -
tiunes is slow on all pc's. I would bet apple codes it that way on purpose.
-
iTunes "launches" slowly on all PCs, regardless of hardware. But after you start it up, it should be the same as Macs.
-
It does not operate any where nearly as quickly as it does on macs. Running osx in a virtual machine itunes is still way faster than it is in windows.
-
Or, you could jailbreak your phone, and avoid the whole attempted lockdown altogether. -
