Pages slow to open

Pages very slow to open first time in a session.  Should I install a new version?  If so, can I overwrite?

Try opening with Shift key pressed.

  • Pages slow to open, any suggestions?

    When I open a Pages document it takes quite a while to launch the application.
    I've tried deleting the Pages preference file. The first couple times opening Pages after that were fast... and then it went back to being slow. Anybody have any suggestions for me?
    Thanks,
    ~Ignolopi

    A very efficient way to slowdown Pages is to activate the feature "Display the true fonts in the fonts menu".
    Disable it would fasten the process.
    Often, the Fonts folder contain a huge number of fonts which are never used.
    A bit of careful cleaning would fasten the beast too.

  • Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7. I've clicked on a folder 5 minutes ago and am still waiting. The work-around seems to be to force-close it, but I've needed to do this many times in the last few days.

    Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
    I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
    I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
    Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
    Thanks

  • Why does my firefox start page keep opening in a foreign language, no matter how many times i have uninstalled and reinstalled the US English version? also, why is it so slow to open, if it opens at all now?

    it wants me to believe it's opening in Spanish, but that is not the language that appears on the start page, looks like it might be German? also, since i have reinstalled, mozilla/firefox is extremely slow to open, if, in fact, it opens at all. if i stop the process, and then proceed to open something else via the toolbar, i.e., aol mail, etc., i get to where i need to be.

    If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g Devices and Printers Page Is Slow to Open

    Hello, I have HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, model N911g, installed as a wireless printer.  I have Windows 7 64-bit.  My Devices and Printers page takes over two minutes to open.  While I am waiting, if I go to Print Spooler Services and click Restart, the page opens right away.  Once the page is open, in the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus device, I ran Troubleshooter and it took about 1/2 hour to finish, and it reported and supposedly fixed a problem in the Print Spooler service.  The assigned Port looks like a recovered port.  However, if I restart the PC and try to open Devices and Printers again, the delay is still present.  I had trouble installing the HP program including the Scan to PC functionality, because response time was so slow.  Now it's installed and working, but the HP program is quite slow to open.  The spinning circle spins and then stops, almost like it has given up opening the program. Then several minutes later the program opens or the requested action begins. 

    Check the document I linked below. Step 6 might be the solution you are looking for but it will not hurt to start from the top.

    Hi,
    I have been having similar problems as you. These problems began to raise its ugly head about a month or so ago.
    I have found that using add to iCloud is not working. Constantly sticks at sending info and things work when I stop process then select update match. I have opted to use update option immediately after adding new tracks and seems to work most times.
    However, I have been encountering problems recently when the process sticks with a few tracks still outstanding. I believe the problem occurs when the process has been interrupted and the tracks have partially been processed. To correct this problem, I have to open another library where I can see the music that's been matched or uploaded. The tracks causing the problem are greyed out. I delete those tracks and go back to my main library where the I cloud status is shown as "removed". I had previously tried to delete those tracks from my main library and readd them but this did not work because of the partially processed tracks.
    I have previously been able to resolve most issues by holding shift (PC) / option key (Mac) whilst turning off match  then turning back on. Unfortunately I seem to be using this option more frequently recently.

  • I want to buy MBA 11'' which model is good.  i.e.  i need speed.  I am using Lenovo netbook s-10. Is very slow in opening web pages an also in operating other apps.

    I want to buy MBA 11'' which model is good.  i.e.  i need speed.  I am using Lenovo netbook s-10. Is very slow in opening web pages an also in operating other apps.

    Put your first emphasis on memory. Don't even consider 2 GB.
    Second, maximize your SSD size according to the ability of your wallet. Lastly is your processor.
    For what you describe the MBA is plenty fast.

  • Slow in opening up web pages?

    Hi,
    Not sure why, my N900 seems to be pretty slow in opening up web pages.  The home screen says that I am on 3.5G.  At times the page wouldn't even get loaded (white screen or connection error).
    To test if it is due to bad coverage, I pull out the SIM card and put it back to my N97.  And the web pages seem to load a lot faster (and smoother).  This is strange.  Is there some settings I need to fiddle with?  I have tried changing the memory cache size from 5MB up but the improvement does not seem to be consistant.  Now, I set the cache to auto.
    Any help would be great.  Thanks.

    there is an app which gives you control over the 2/3G networks but i live in a 2G area so i didn't download it and i'm not sure how much control it offers. i can't remember what it was called or where it was but i think it was on www.maemo.org but if i find it again i'll post you a link but in the mean time all i can suggest is clearing the private data which should help just make sure that the saved passwords is de selected
    if you've always had this problem and this may sound stupid but i can be in a 3G area in my local town with a full signal and suffer the same problem yet if i go to the northern end of the town it works fine and my network provider vodafone say its interference from the buildings even tho the highest building only has 4 floors so you could just be in one of these spots

  • Macbook Air slow in opening pages

    macbookAir slow in opening pages

    Where abouts?
    The actual app Pages or web pages?
    might be worth checking your DNS settings in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP(DNS) and making sure they're correct, or you could manually put in google's own 8.8.8.8 (primary) 8.8.4.4 (Secondary)
    and seeing if that makes a difference.
    Could try clearing your cookies/history/saved stuff in whatever browser you're using.
    if all that fails, try flushing your cache.
    Open Terminal (Applications > utilities > Terminal.app )  and type in:
    dscacheutil -flushcache
    hit return and maybe even try a reboot.
    the other option is, you just have slow internet?
    if it's pages.app, it's a case of how old is your machine? how much ram? if your hard drive ok? does it meet the system requirements?
    Hope this helps!

  • Pages 09 slow to open documents on iPhone 4

    Hi
    I've got iWork on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2, as well as iWork 09 on Mountain Lion. I notice when I open a pages file on my iPhone, after it's been created on Mountain Lion and synced with iCloud, it is slow to load. This is after it gives a message about it looking different on iOS compared to my Mac. It then asks me if I want use "Open Copy" instead.
    Is the slowness of opening the document due to some conversion? Is there a way of making the Pages documents load faster in some way and can this apply to the rest of iWork as well?
    Thanks

    Hey Ben Gunn,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, multiple apps will not open or access the internet. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Acrobat Reader X slow to open

    Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0) is slow to open on some computers.
    I've read that removing the 'Protected Mode' seeems to correct the problem.
    Is that right?
    Is there other setups we should change?
    Thanks

    Ok, so they are being opened directly in Acrobat/Reader.
    In this case, Acrobat (or Reader) doesn't need to read the whole file
    in the general case. A PDF file contains a large number of objects
    describing what is on the pages, and the other aspects of the file.
    There is an index to these objects.
    So Acrobat starts by reading the index, then reads what it needs.
    In some cases it may have to read next to nothing, to show the first
    page of a document of many pages. In other cases it will have to read
    all of the file, because (perhaps) it has one page and so everything
    needed has to be read to show you that page.
    The amount of data read has very little relation to the file size
    (except that it should be no more than the file size). You have to
    look at how the file is made up (e.g. page count? What is on pages?)
    to go further.

  • Firefox was fast when I first started using. Now, very slow to open and freezes often. Frequent message is "Warning-unresponsive script". Do I need to switch back to Internet Explorer?

    Switched from Internet Explorer because seemed slow. Firefox was fast at first. Then upgraded to Firefox 4 and frequently have trouble opening. Sometimes page doesn't open, or is very slow. If I try to open again I will get Mozilla Firefox Unresponsive or a message that say "Warning-Unresponsive Script". Often have to restart and do the whole thing again. Don't really want to switch back to Internet Explorer, but getting tired of taking a half hour to get into my emails!

    I am having the same problem, but not sure what's causing the slow down. Restarting in safe mode fixes the performance problem... but disabling all plug ins and extensions in normal mode (and restarting firefox) still shows the bug. Any ideas?

  • Dreamweaver CS5 Slow to Open File... Enable Related Files

    Hello,
    I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
    This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
    If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
    It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
    I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
    Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
    Thanks!

    Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at  /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
    I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.

  • Has anyone else found that OS 8.0 has slowed the opening of apps considerably?

    I just downloaded the latest OS for my ipad and found that it slows the opening of apps and the opening of web pages considerably. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi there bitsko26,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
