I would have to say this time Tim you are wrong. When I am running mavericks on my other macmini, it imports the media like it use to, in no time at all. 10 thousand songs only took a couple of hours, 3 tops. It would import my 3500 movies, in lless than an hour. I know I have a lot of media, but this slow process wasn’t until iTunes 12. And since it is taking so long, I will not use iTunes for my music collection until they fix it. > On Dec 13, 2014, at 1:18 PM, Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com> wrote: > > Hi, Kliph, > > I would suggest that with large imports like you’re doing, that the iTunes > Database is possibly the issue.
