After installing and using iToner the syncing in iTunes becomes horribly slow and performing simple things like copying or deleting a song takes forever. Just copying a song takes close to a minute; first I get the color wheel pointer for ten seconds, then it does the actual copying, then back to the the color wheel again for a while and finally iTunes says Syncing... for about 20-30 seconds!

It took me a long time to figure out that iToner was the problem, but I've now verified this using the application on two different accounts, with a clean installation of both iTunes and the iPhone. My iPhone syncs just fine (copying a song to the device takes a few seconds as it should) until I use iToner for the first time and it asks to restart iTunes.

I thought I would post this here as a heads up. No more iToner for me.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello,
Sorry for your frustration. This is a necessary and currently unavoidable behavior due to the way iToner needs to keep track of changes before and after an iTunes sync. While we've gotten the delays down as much as possible, we hope to reduce it further in the future.

You can quit iTunes and remove the "iTonerSupport.bundle" from your ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins folder. If you launch iToner again, the plug-in will be reinstalled. Hope this helps

Well, to me it's far from acceptable that it takes close to a minute to copy or delete a song, when it usually takes a few seconds, and I must say I'm very suprised to hear that's how it's supposed to be with your software installed.

Removing that bundle file did nothing either. I had to move out every single file/folder from ~/Library/Preferences, restart iTunes and let it recreate whatever files it creates starting up, and then copy all preferences back to its folder and not let the copying overwrite anything present in the folder.

I'm sticking to editing my ringtones myself and import them into iTunes.
