Indesign CC 2014 is too slow to be used - like it is crashed

I think it started to behave like this since i installed the 2014 edition.
i removed CC already since i thought don't need it anymore - very confusing this CC and CC 2014 stuff was both there.
Now - when i open Indesign for a few seconds it responds normal but then after few seconds its not responding properly - it behaves like a crashed program (using windows 8.1 64) - when moving away and back to the task, it takes 10 seconds till the UI appears.
when trying to click a menu item, it takes 5 or 10 seconds till something happens.
thought maybe its the plugins but i deleted all and reinstalled indesign fresh from cloud desktop tool and the problem is still there.
i have no idea what else to try - anyone?
thanks

  • Disk too slow error when using M-Audio Oxygen 49 keyboard

    I bought the M-Audio Oxygen 49 keyboard. And when I plug it into my MacBook Pro to do some playing, the project will record for maybe a minute but then I get a 'disk too slow' error and the recording stops. This happens every single time, no matter if there's 30 tracks or 1 track on the recording. I know that it is the keyboard causing the error because I am currently working on a 59 track piece that has effects on almost every track and my setup doesn't even blink. (well it'll pinwheel for a second when I hit record sometimes, but the CPU and disk meters don't ever get near red-line levels).
    What on earth is causing this stupid keyboard to cause this problem, and how do I fix it? It's clearly the keyboard. When I unplug it and record a live track on a project that just gave me the 'disk too slow' error, everything works just fine!
    Grr...
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!
    Edit: I have the MBP plugged via firewire into an Echo Audiofire and then into a WD hard dtive (at 7200 RPM). The keyboard is USB into the MBP.

    hi
    i spoke with Apple pro application support staff who confirmed that the Tascam 1884 patch for 10.4.10 is the cause of the problem. The apple boot drive can reliably record 1 channel of audio under normal circumstances. Apple staff described the situation as "unfortunate" and recommended to wait for Tascam to release 10.4.10 compatible drivers.
    For anyone interested in the technical background, the Tascam 10.4.10 patch DOWNGRADES the audioFW component (messing with kernel headers etc.). This compromises the OS's ability to correctly communicate with FW devices.
    I had tried recording to a firewire 800 drive, but all FW IO is affected by the 10.4.10 Tascam patch: Logic simply didn't record anything to disk when I tried this, and the machine became unresponseive. I do not recommend anyone attempt recording to a FW drive with the Tascam drivers installed.
    I have recorded circa 400 hours of single channel 96K 24bit audio to my internal Macbook Pro boot drive using the same software/configuration under 10.4.9 without a single glitch. I do recognise that when requiring heavy disk IO it is not advisable to record to the boot drive. However, 1 channel of audio can be reliably recorded if the system is well maintained.
    Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions.

  • Disc Too Slow LE 7I use

    I use iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB, Bus Speed 667 MHz, Processor Speed 2.16 GHz
    Today I missed my deadline to 500 radio stations because all day long I saw "Disc Too Slow 10010"
    I only used two tracks for a 20 min bulletin. I removed all compression and limiters. I bounced to an Ext HD but no way would this program load.
    This question has been asked before but I have yet to find a satisfactory answer (maybe I'm dense).

    Hi Ron,
    Sorry about your trouble.
    You mention bouncing to an external hard drive.
    Were you playing the program (the audio in the song) from your Internal system drive?
    What external hard drive is it? Are the drivers for it current? Did you replace the cables going to / from the drive to the computer? Did you try a different hard drive?
    Sometimes this disk too slow error message happpens when the FireWire buss is overloaded, and not necessarily by the hard drive. Which audio interface are you using, and is it FireWire?
    Please, don't tell me you have an M-Audio FW 410 or the like...
    Cheers

  • ICal is too slow for practical use and crashes after it is opened

    I am using an iMac G4 with OSX10.4.8. iCal is so slow that it has become impractical to use. Every click takes at least a minute to complete. Moving from the daily to the monthly view takes at least 3 minutes. I have discarded the plist file from the user library and it did not help. Any idea what is going on? Safari also suffers from the same slowness problem. I no longer use it. Have switched to Firefox.

    I was having the same problem and it started after I upgraded to Tiger. After trying all the solutions, I discovered the problem with my iCal, which might not be the same for yours.
    I was trying to sync with Entourage. I only had about 5 appointments on there, but once I deleted that calendar and unchecked the Sync to .Mac under preferences.
    Now it runs SUPER fast. So it may be a problem with one of the calendars that you've created.
    Good luck.
    Thanks!

  • Service Registry too slow for runtime use ?

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding the intended use of the OSR for calls from EJBs to Web Services at runtime: is it true that due to performance reasons, the OSR should not be used for such lookup at runtime ?? (thus lookups should only happen as part of the partner link import at development time) ?
    Or the other way around - would the following 'dynamic lookup' perform badly:
    1.) the client party (EJB) contacts the OSR with a logical service identifier (e.g. 'registry key')
    2.) the OSR does a lookup and returns the corresponding physical endpoint address of a WS
    3.) the client party then invokes the web service on the given endpoint
    Any thoughts appreciated ! Anybody using the OSR, if so, how ?

    Try if disabling the automatic check for new albums will help. That worked for me:
    Aperture ->Preferences -> Web

  • InDesign CC 2014 Really Slow and Buggy?

    Is anybody else having issues with InDesign CC 2014 running incredibly slow? I replaced my preferences file but it is still running poorly. The beach ball from hell keeps showing up every few seconds for a split second and the drop downs on the top toolbar won't stay on. Help!

    Robyn, I went back to my previous version which is fine. Luckily I only worked on one job with this version. My feeling is that it is something with the cloud. It also seems to jump out of being the main screen every time I do any mouse movement. I have a feeling we aren;t the only two. Let me know if you get an answer and I will do so as well. Phoning Adobe? Thanks for the laugh.

  • Aperture - Too slow to be really efficient?

    I have been thinking about whether Aperture might be a way to go for me as far as working with my photographs. The ads etc. seemed like it offered some great features and I don't like the Nikon software that has come with my cameras. iPhoto is OK for my family snapshots, but I want more capabilities for my more serious stuff.
    So I when i got an email mentioning the 30 day trial I figured that was a great opportunity to check it out. I was hoping I'd be pleased enough over that 30 days that spending the $300 dollars to buy it would be justified despite the fact that I have Photoshop CS2 and a few other way to organize my photos. Thus far $300 seemed way too steep simply to duplicate capabilities I already have and doesn't come close to offering the capabilities of a full blown image editing app like PS.
    So my question is this. Is this thing really supposed to be as slow as it is? The app is running so slow on my Mac G5 dual 2.5 with Radeon 9600 with 2gb of Apple installed RAM that I can't see suffering through using it long enough to even see if it does some of the things I hope it does. I certainly couldn't see using it rountinely as an app for PRODUCTIVITY. There's nothing productive about an app that takes a good 5 seconds merely to remove a master from the library. Even clicking on an image to look at it takes way too long as the preview refines it's resolution.
    I did a quick search on this issue and saw lots of stuff out there. I have waded through some of it and some of it is enlightening and some just adds to the confusion. Apparently there may be an issue when running dual monitors. Am I understanding that correctly? Seems to me that most Pros and heavy duty amateurs run 2 monitors (and for good reason - most of the apps these days need to screens to display all the neccessary palattes etc.) So if 2 displays hurt performance, I can't see how this is an app that is going to work for me. I certainly don't want to go reconfiguring my Mac simply to go through the latest batch of pics. It also seems to me that a large library could also be an issue - while I don't have huge numbers of images, I do have a couple of thousand that I keep active on my machine (and a ton more on backup DVD).
    So anyway, I'd like to hear from people with a similar setup to mine . . . from your experience is trying to use this app on such a system (which is by no means a slow and incapable Mac at all - I push heavy pixels doing HD work in After Effects and Final Cut all day long and never feel like the apps are too slow to even use)? I am not going to run out and buy a new system simply to run Aperture since. Even if all the bells and whistles are what they seem, they aren't enough to justify it. I also don't want to waste any time using this trial version and learning it's ins and outs if going In know the app won't run efficiently enough.
    So am I crazy? Is this thing really as slow as it seems? Are there really as many speed issues as a search of the forum reveals? Is there something I am missing?

    So am I crazy?
    I have no such evidence.
    Well, give it time.
    In my personal experience, for all practical purposes
    it's unusable on my configuration. A Mac user since
    1986, I purchased my Mac Pro configured specifically
    for Aperture, including an upgraded video card. The
    outcome has been underwhelming.
    As I can't buy a faster computer, I can only assume
    Aperture is suited to hardware yet to be released.
    Aperture is the lowest point in my experience as a
    Mac user.
    I am actually hearing that sentiment more than I would like to as I ask around. Too bad. On the surface it looks quite good. I findit odd that the company that has taken on such great things as it has in the video world can't make this a more efficient piece of software. Perhaps they see much bigger money in the volume that comes from focusing on phones with video and computers for your TV and thus don't really care about an app like Aperature which would really just appeal to dedicated photographers at it's current pricing and probably doesn't rpresent enough revenue - even amongst photogs with cash to burn.
    I'm evaluating Aperture (which I have purchased at
    full retail price) alongside the beta of another
    professional photo app which is yet to be released.
    The jury is still out, but growing restless.
    Yeah, I have played with the Beta from one of the "Others". It was interesting. It was a while ago and that version didn't seem as potentially "robust" as aperture did. But I think it may be time to go back and take another look.

  • Difficulty opening old projects.  Disk too slow, bad files, etc...

    Recently I've been trying to update old song files. I have a bunch of projects from Logic 6 that have trouble in Logic 7. I get tons of "Disk too slow or System Overload" errors and Logic Crashes quite a bit as a result. The songs aren't overly processor intense, so I think something else must be the problem. When trying to move song files into a new project folder, I get "bad file" errors. The audio files will play, but it seems the computer may be having trouble playing them. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Mr Dummy.........
    recently been using os9 - lp6.3.1. a lot.
    much, much more responsive. NONE of the glitches found in Lpro7.
    immediate everything.
    ==============================
    my guess is logic's guts are still in some sort of app wrapper.
    apple have not altered the code, except where needed for the new bells and whistles. (sort of like some form of advanced simulation).
    logic's performance will vary wildly from mac to mac, depending on the osx version and it's hardware.

  • Web Analysis response time is too slow

    Hello
    I have a problem with Web analysis 9.3.1 because the response time is too slow.
    We used IBM Websphere 6.1.0.5 to deployment.
    Anyone have any idea about what is happening and how can I improve performance?

  • Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

    Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

    Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
    The lasso tool should then work normally.

  • InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance, almost unusable.

    Hello All,
    Running InDesign CC 2014 on Mid 2010 Mac Pro, 2.4GHz, 36GB RAM, OSX 10.9.4.
    When moving an image or text box InDesign hangs and beach ball spins. I've removed preferences, cleaned Mac cache and ran Onyx. Still slow with InDesign. Other CC apps work fine.
    I have the same Apps and set up on 4 other MacPros with no issues.
    Does anyone have a solution or a work round?
    Thanks

    Have exact same issue on  my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
    So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
    Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
    Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
    I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow
