Dan,
Before doing a clean install of the entire OS, I would look at the apps that
are causing you problems.
I'm running iTunes 10.4 on two different machines with well over 6000 items in
the Library and have no issues other than needing to use VO keys or Quick Nav
more than I'm used to. So, I not convinced that the issue is 10.4. On a rare
occasion, iTunes was being sluggish, I simply Quit it, waited a bit then opened
it again and everything was back to normal. I didn't totally figure out the
reason why but it seems to be linked to my impatience. That is, if I start
pressing VO key combinations to quickly almost confusing iTunes or VO, then it
misbehaves. Come to think of it, that is the sort of thing that caused Safari
to act stupid as well, I start doing VO things before the page is fully built
or doing too many combinations in succession as I rush through things.
1. Questions:
• Are you running iTunes 10.3 or 10.4 now?
• I'm guessing that you lost all playlists upon re-importing your media
or did you do something else to create the new Library?
2. When starting up iTunes, hold down the Option key. This will bring up a
dialog asking you to choose an iTunes Library or Create a new one. Create a
new one, import your media and see how the new one behaves. This allows you to
keep all playlists and such in the older one so that you can export then import
them into the new one. the playlists are simply text files, not the actual
media therefore there's no duplication.
3. Update it to 10.4, if you haven't already, as it is the version most
optimized for Lion.
4. With Safari, are you using Quick Nav or regular VO navigation, Group or DOM
navigation?
5. Do you have an example of the site so I can try to see if it reacts the
same to me?
Later…
