The iCloud syncing seems to break the iTunes native syncing. I have had similar issues. If I have an issue where I have to wipe the device, even if I do a manual backup to iClod and to the PC as well, only the iCloud backup will put things the way I original had them. When I use the PC backup, itunes won't place my apps back in the origina folders. I have so many apps installed that they all own't fit on the device if they aren't in folders, because the device deosn't have enough icon screens, which to me is a stupid limitation on ANY device.

iTunes is so bloated even on 64bit with 8GB of RAm and plant y of drive space as one of my Envy's has. When its busy with one thing, it wil lock up and freeze if you try to view something else.

Mnay times I have to execute iTunes as an admin to prevent so many lockups and restarts.

It is worse than a mess. I hate using it for anything.

The file systsme is already locked, just open up the freespace to be directly used by the users. Then you can directly copy the music/videos to the folder...then the onboard music player could simply read the tags and organize the info, without even moving any files.

Why does Windows need Bonjour? It doesn't.

I have a Windows 7 PC with 4GB of RAM and a Quad Core Intel CPU. Just opening iTunes causes my computer to freeze I have to wait until iTunes opens up before I can do anything in my browser. This Genius thing is probably what makes the program slow to start.
