ACR 4.3.1 Slow in general

Hello All.
I'm testing CS3 for my company before we roll it out. So far, so good... almost.
Working with ACR 4.3.1 and DNG files has proved to be PAINFULLY SLOW. Sliders take 3-5 seconds before they move (any slider) moving from various tabs takes the same amount of time. It has brought my productivity to a halt.
Has anybody come across this situation and/or found a solution?
I'm running CS3 with all the updates on a Dual 2.3 Ghz PPC G5 with 5 GB or ram. OS X 10.4.11. I access files on both AFP network volumes and local files. This problem is persistent in both cases, so please no comments about the network thing.
I've tried deleting caches, preference files, you name it - even com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist.
The DNG's i'm working with come from Canon 5D, 1D Mark II, and 1D Mark III's.
Thanks for the help.

It's your machine or setup...
Using a dual G5 2ghz with 6 gigs of ram, 1DsMII and 3 files show no slowdown (other than the 1DsM3's taking a bit of time opening and getting rid of the rendering triangle).
Once open, sliders respond immediately and switching between panels is fast even with 4.3.1 at full screen.
You don't mention what ram you've set for Photoshop...and this can have an impact since Camera Raw must get it's ram allocation from Photoshop and if you run PS with a too high ram allocation you can see slowdowns and spinning beach balls. Even with 5 gigs, you prolly don't want the ram allocation to go beyond 75% or so.

  • 8.0.2 update - safari crashing, fingerprint non responsive & phone is very slow in general, help?

    I have the iPhone 6, and since the update to 8.0.2 my safari crashes ALL the time and is really annoying! Also my fingerprint doesn't always work or is just really slow at recognising that is what I am doing. Overall, the phone is very slow in general. Anyone else having this problem? Think another update may be needed!

  • ACR 7.1 - very slow on Mac mini

    Hi
    I'm running the trial version of CS6 on a new Mac mini.
    I like the features in ACR 7.1 but I'm finding it very slow.
    Dragging the Temperature slider takes about 5 seconds before the image updates. Is this normal?
    This is with just one Nikon D700 Nef open in ACR, and no other apps running. I've already worked the file up, making adjustments to lens correction, sharpening, noise reduction, and using a couple of adjustment brushes.
    If I progressively switch these settings off, the Temperature slider gradually goes back to being reasonably responsive. But I'd like to be able to fine tune the colour after doing these other adjustments.
    Any way I can speed it up?
    Thanks!
    Mac mini 2.7 i7, AMD 6630, 16Gb RAM, 7200rpm 750Gb HD.
    Eizo CG275W
    Photoshop CS6
    ACR 7.1.0.354
    Mountain Lion 10.8.1

    My dedicated CS6/ACR 7.x system is substantially more underpowered than your Mac Mini, yet I see no such lag in ACR.  Dragging the Temperature adjustment slider is practically real-time, with the preview refreshing in a fraction of a second that I can barely see and have no way of measuring.
    I'm now running ACR 7.2RC1, but I don't remember seeing a lag in ACR 7.1 either.
    My main working machine is a Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad with 16 GB of RAM, on which 11.0.2 is the last version of Photoshop to run, so I have the Mac-Intel system described below just to run ACR 7.x under Photoshop 13.0.1.  I convert my raw files in ACR7.x open them in Ps 13.0.x and save them via Ethernet to an external HD connected to the G5 Quad for further processing in CS4. The Mac-Intel is used for no other purpose and the only other application I occasionally run on said Mac-Intel is TextEdit.
    2007, 2GHz MacBook 2,1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM (can use 3 GB), 160 GB internal boot disk, dedicated FireWire400 external HD for Ps scratch disk, external Time Machine HD.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8. 
    I literally rescued this MacBook from the trash, where it had landed when my wife was told by local Apple Macgenius staff that it was beyond repair, when in reality all that was wrong with it was a bulging battery exerting upward pressure on the track pad and keyboard.  That was easy to replace for $20 or so through Amazon.com. 
    So, from where I sit,  either you have a machine-specific problem somewhere, or the culprit in your issue is Mountain Poop.

  • Problem downloading - OTN extremely slow in general

    Cannot download 10201_database_win32.zip which is located on http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winsoft.html
    In general OTN appears to be getting slower by the day.

    It's your machine or setup...
    Using a dual G5 2ghz with 6 gigs of ram, 1DsMII and 3 files show no slowdown (other than the 1DsM3's taking a bit of time opening and getting rid of the rendering triangle).
    Once open, sliders respond immediately and switching between panels is fast even with 4.3.1 at full screen.
    You don't mention what ram you've set for Photoshop...and this can have an impact since Camera Raw must get it's ram allocation from Photoshop and if you run PS with a too high ram allocation you can see slowdowns and spinning beach balls. Even with 5 gigs, you prolly don't want the ram allocation to go beyond 75% or so.

  • Macbook Pro: long startup time / very slow in general

    Hello everyone,
    I purchased a Macbook Pro 15” in the summer of 2010 before going to university.
    The startup time has become ridiculously slow. Even opening a web browser is stressful.
    I have now completed my studies and I am pretty sure I have uninstalled all the large software I had installed for my degree and deleted majority of my
    document/files however the startup time has not improved.
    I have been looking through threads discussing Factory resets?
    My Mac did not come with a disk (Snow Leopard originally installed). I simply turned the thing on and it was ready to go.
    If I was to reset my Mac to factory settings would I need to purchase a disk? Is there something else that I could do instead?
    The problem seemed to materialise when I upgraded to “OS X Mavericks”.
    The only software I want to keep on my Mac is Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    I have transferred all the documents I wish to keep to another computer so I do not mind losing everything currently on my Mac.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Do you know what the original disks were? Were they snow Leopard, higher than 10.6.3, they are most likely builld specific.
    I can not guarantee that it will speed it up, but if your HD was pretty full 50%+ as well as your caches, it should clear a lot of stuff off the machine that can slow it down. It will probably take a couple hours to go thru this, give or take.
    How much of your HD is used, I keep mine at about 20% to help keep it faster, (less stuff to search)
    If it is just the speed you are concerned with I will send you some links in regards to that. I answered that you wanted to go back to "New machine" settings, hence my reply.

    Maybe something here will offer help. The reason for repairing the disk and permissions, etc... is that smetimes the disk gets errors, which the mackine hen has to work around, if it can. Hvaeing your disk much past 50% will slow it down, having caches that have not been emptied and are full of junk can slow it down. Try going to  Safari menu clicking reset Safari, empty cache, also go to Safari Preferences/Privacy tab click "remove all website data.
    This would be a start. read thru the links, or do a tottal wipe and install.
    I hope this has helped you in some way.

  • CS4 very slow to open documents + slow in general

    Ever since our design studio upgraded to InDesign CS4, some of our machines are now VERY slow to open documents (it takes documents approx. 7–13 times longer to open). Also, just using InDesign seems much slower than CS3 (like dragging things, typing, etc.).
    The funny thing is this problem only seems to affect our designers who have PowerPC G5 Macs — not the ones with Intel Macs. I realise CS4 will be optimised for Intel machines, but surely it shouldn't be this much slower on G5s?
    Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
    Lee

    Sorry, I really should have given more specs.
    All our machines use Leopard (OS v10.5.8)
    Other specs:
    Machines with the problem:
    1.8GHz PowerPC G5
    3 or 4 GB RAM
    Geforce FX 5200
    Machines that don't have the problem:
    2 x 2GHz Dual core Intel Xeon
    5 GB RAM
    Geforce 7300 GT
    I don't think this problem can simply be put down to speed/processor power, because I can open documents fine if I use CS3 (which is still installed) and it takes about 8 seconds. Then I try opening the same document in CS4 and it takes about 2 minutes to open. Documents have never taken this long to open before for us, and InDesign also seems slower to use than before (not excessively slower, but noticably slower).

  • New G5 Quad running slow in general

    My computer is very new...and it has been running slowly (the rainbow circle appears quite often) from day 1. It's not specific to any one program, and it happens when I am searching the web too. I bought and installed Disk Warrior, but I don't really understand the program. Why would such a kick-butt, new computer run slow?
    Advice appreciated

    You might want to post this in the Using your Power Mac G5 section, which is
    the right section for your computer.
    In the menatime, how have you used Disk Warrior ? How
    long have you been using your computer ? Do you have
    a lot of important files on it ?
    There are things you might want to try before taking
    measures such as running DW. Yasu is a nice and easy-to-use
    maintenance/troubleshooting utility which will clear
    cache files and font caches that might have become
    corrupted and could slow the computer down, as well
    as clearing logs, etc.
    thanks.

  • Slow ipad (generally)

    I have an original model iPad, and gradually it seems to be getting slower. Apps open up more slowly. Sometime it seems slow to capture typing. I notice it most severly with iBooks. When I ope up the app, it takes a remarkably long time (even ten seconds) to get teh pages of the book I am reading to display. The responsiveness to page-turns is slower as well.
    I have restarted the whole iPad, as well as quit and restarted the iBooks app. Nothing seems to improve the situation. It is not related to having a lot of apps open. the flash memory is only half full, so that wouldn't be an explanation. I have about 30 apps altogether on the iPad, and I think I read a suggestion somewhere that this might be an explanation.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Peter

    Try doing things like quitting apps , keeping up to date software , removing unwanted apps,restarting your iPad every now and then clearing your browser cache , things like this could help

  • Upload speed is slow in general.

    Hello anyone,
    When I try to send an attachment throug any email client it takes so long and then it hangs. When I try to FTP a file it also takes so long and it then hangs. I have tested my upload speed time and time again and it is clocked at only 25-30 kbps. Way to slow. I am currently on a PC network sharing the internet connection through a router. The PCs on the network have good speeds, but the Mac does not, by the way both Macs on the network have the same problem. Does anybody know what might be going on.

    Are you able to test bypassing the router connecting direct to the modem with one of these Macs and if so, does the same occur?
    If the same does not occur when bypassing the router, then the router is the problem more than likely.
    Have you checked the router manufacturer's website for an available firmware update for your router model that applies to OS X?

  • I'm on a MacBook pro .. how can FF be kept from crashing, freezing, being slow in general, and get more support for Plugins (which break every time I update)? Thanks in advance, I really do want to see FF regain the glory it once had!

    I've been using Firefox since version 1 and it's always been my #1 web browser of choice. Since version 4, Firefox has become my #3 browser of choice, behind Safari & Chrome. I would like FF to go back to being #1, because frankly FF 4 & FF 5 have been a royal pain in the a$$.
    Since FF 4, my SEO for Firefox plugin has not worked properly. Since FF 5, the Google Toolbar has not worked ... probably soon to have a fix, I'm sure.

    I just bought my first Mac, Macbook Pro 15in 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 320GB Serial ATA; 5400 rpm.
    I installed XP of a disk I had then used a Vista upgrade disk i had to install Vista. I noticed quickly that it was a 32bit version since it only recognized 3gb ram. I have been trolling the forums here and still have yet to get a straight answer on how to install vista 64 and have it actually work. So when what you are saying is I need a Mac Pro disk? Not the disk that came with my Macbook Pro to install all the drivers I need?
    James
    So it really depends. If you have an "early 2008" MBP as follows:
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 6 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B00
    SMC Version: 1.27f1
    Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxxx
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    Then the disk from an equivalent Mac Pro (needs to be of similar vintage) may help you. But if you have once of the newer models ("late 2008") this has an nVidia chipset in it and the drivers for that may not be on the Mac Pro.
    You'll need 64bit drivers for the nVidia chipset for this to work.
    A side note is that the EFI implementation on the "Early 2008" MPB might well be 32 bit, so it's debatable if you get the full advantage of 64bit Vista in terms of performance. It worked for me, but YMMV. In any case when Windows 7 ships, my Macs will mostly be in "Legacy" mode.

  • IMovie HD running extremely slow and generally unstable...

    I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3 for video editing in DV format. Up until today it's been running well, but now for some reason it take about 10 minutes to open up my file...no kidding. In the meantime, my computer is useless and the ball just spins. By the time the force quit option appears, it's pretty much stable enough to use. I think it started after iMovie just quit on me and no error report came up earlier today.
    I tried deleting the imovie preference file and all other files in the quicktime folders and such. I've also repaired permissions and reinstalled the OS X 10.4.8 update.
    I know this is not normal operation since i've been editing this same file for a week now with no problems until today. Is there anything else I can do? I have to present this video in class and since I've been talking up iMovie over Movie Maker, I really need this to work.
    Thanks in advance.

    If others run fine, the project may be experiencing the "stuttering" problem described in this thread:

  • Safari installed with Snow Leopard stalls, slow typing, generally awful

    What is the deal with this?
    I just did a clean install of snow leopard, to test this. Safari 4.0.3 as installed with snow leopard simply will not open 25% or more of the pages I try to go to, giving a consistent "Safari can't find the server" message. I click on a link, safari hangs for minutes on end and says it can't find the server. I open the same pages with FF and they open immediately. Safari 4.0.3 on OS X 10.5.8 (which I've reverted to because the snow leopard update is SO awful and buggy) worked great. Now it barely works at all.
    What happened to Apple? Why did they release an obviously beta-level update to their OS, when the previous version was itself so weak?

    Greetings,
    Safari 4.0.3 is not a beta release; the fact that you're having a problem indicates there's a problem on your system. Try these steps to see if they will resolve the issue:
    Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network>Advanced.
    In the DNS Server tab, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
    Next, do these things in order:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
    then press Enter and quit Terminal when you see the command prompt again.
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Form Values
    LastSession.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    Then Repair Disk Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

    SQL statements with the same text were not shared because of cursor
    environment mismatch. This resulted in additional hard parses which were
    consuming significant database time.
    RECOMMENDATION 1: Application Analysis, 15% benefit (1008 seconds)
    ACTION: Look for top reason for cursor environment mismatch in
    V$SQL_SHARED_CURSOR.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Common causes of environment mismatch are session NLS settings, SQL
    trace settings and optimizer parameters.

    Soft parsing of SQL statements was consuming significant database time.
    RECOMMENDATION 1: Application Analysis, 2.9% benefit (192 seconds)
    ACTION: Investigate application logic to keep open the frequently used
    cursors. Note that cursors are closed by both cursor close calls and
    session disconnects.
    RECOMMENDATION 2: DB Configuration, 2.9% benefit (192 seconds)
    ACTION: Consider increasing the maximum number of open cursors a session
    can have by increasing the value of parameter "open_cursors".
    ACTION: Consider increasing the session cursor cache size by increasing
    the value of parameter "session_cached_cursors".
    RATIONALE: The value of parameter "open_cursors" was "800" during the
    analysis period.
    RATIONALE: The value of parameter "session_cached_cursors" was "20"
