RH 7 is really, really, REALLY slow

I downloaded the RH 7 demo 2 days ago and opened a project
last night. Everything was very slow. Creating a Word output of my
project (probably 150 pages overall in Word) took a consistent 20
minutes. My home PC is well within the system requirements, running
XP with service pack updates, an Athlon 2100 processor with 1 Gig
RAM. Has anyone encountered this? I need to make a recommendation
between RH 7 and Flare this week, and right now it's a no-brainer,
even with the learning curve for Flare. I'd like to keep our shop
on RH, but I can't with this kind of performance. Help?

I, also, have downloaded the trial RH7 at home, on a similar
machine. I've opened, edited, and generated WebHelp from an-X5.0.2
project (6.6 MB, 44 GIFs, 23 topics), with absolutely no problems
to report. I have not, however, generated a Word output; I'll give
that a shot tonight.
I'm pleased to say that it has worked extremely well so far.
A plus is that RH at home is not under constant attack from
Kaspersky anti-virus, as it is at work, so I can actually close RH
immediately after generating a project without receiving Microsoft
warnings of impending doom!
Since we're a 7-writer group working on a 40-project merged
WebHelp system, and I don't trust the only source control app
supported by IT, I think taking advantage of snippets and variables
might require some regularly scheduled diffs of all projects'
rhvariable.apj and *.hts files, but it might be worth it.
Actually, snippets might be a more user-friendly way of
presenting "external" info instead of our current use of hyperlinks
across projects (something with a different background, and perhaps
an intro like:
From the DB Admin "
Installing the DB Upgrade": topic:
, where the topic name would still be available as a hyperlink,
if the user really wanted more info. Hmmm....
Although I found the pods and MDI a little disconcerting at
first, I think I'll learn to love them. As to the TrueCode, I'm
more impressed by the compression of table code (now 4-6 values per
line instead of just 1) than I am with the jettisoning of kadov
(which was never an issue with me).
Good luck,
Leon

    Hi..
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

    Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.

  • Scrolling is really laggy and slow

    For a week or so I've noticed that my scrolling is really slow and laggy on some sites. A site most often visited that makes my scrolling really slow is youtube. Has anyone found a solution to fix this? Was it maybe due to an update?

    Hello everyone!
    User Hakaitz of the Apple Support Communities has worked out a solution, that has helped me getting my old Mac performance back. It involves installing the graphics drivers from Snow Leopard in Lion.
    This performance bug really annoyed me to no ends... Here's what user Hakaitz says in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3198002?start=45&tstart=0:
    There is a fix for this problem.
    I just load with kext helper, the Snow Leopard Kexts from version 10.6.2 for the Radeon.
    End of stutters on laggy animations on any version of lion. Works on 7.1 and 8.1 imacs (at least).
    Here the fix:
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=11INQM1D
    How to use ONLY RADEON 2600 USERS:
    execute kext helper
    drag and drop this files ONLY:
    ATIFramebuffer.kext
    ATISupport.kext
    ATI2600Controller.kext
    put your admin password and click on "easy install". I tooks a while to do the work. When finished, reboot (the kext helper aaaaalways hangs, its normal.
    After that reboot your computer wont stutter anymore.
    Hope it helps!

  • Has anyone else noticed that Mail 6.0 in Mountain Lion really drags/is slow with Gmail threading? Seems to have dragged the whole application to a grind.

    I definitely didn't have this issue before ML/6.0, but then again - the new mail appears to grab every email from the thread, every time a new email comes in. Even if you've deleted/archived the conversation already. It's very slow loading new messages, and clicking through the inbox.
    Any thoughts?

    Same here.  Clicking on an email in the list, sometimes the preview pane shows the previous email for ages, and sometimes never shows the message I selected.
    I have also had a weird situation where I get two whole windows open up, when I didn't open up the second one.

  • Xperia z gone really laggy and slow suddenly

    Hi, ive been using my xperia z with kitkat for a while now and suddenly its become very slow and laggy. Even after complete reset twice, its still the same. As im typing this on the xperia z. The letters come on screen a second after i type. Thia happens in every app i use. Scrolling gone laggy as well.
    Another thing i noticed is when i watch a youtube video which has been embedded in artical for example some articles on feedly. Video has gone laggy there as well, i have to put it to full screen for it to play smoothly. It was perfectly fine before.
    In conclusion, tbe whole phone has gone slow and laggy and even a factory reset doesnt fix it. What cN i do?

    Hello, I'm having the same problem. It's laggy, and booting takes a while, when my phone has booted it gives a black screen for 2 mins. or something like that, when I boot to safe mode I still have the problems, it's a little less than when not booting to safe mode but it's still slow and laggy even though I just did a clean install using Flashtool and XperiFirm. EDIT: I did a clean install using XperiFirm and Flashtool a couple of weeks ago, everything was fine, until last night. From one moment to another my phone was laggy, slow, and the apps crashed and took hours to open, if they did. Tried the same fresh install this morning, it's a little less laggy, but it's still laggy with the factory set apps. Before I did the fresh install I had my phone charged to 100% of battery, 6 hours later, the battery was at 37% even though I haven't used it at all.

  • The sound on my iPod touch is really quiet, really annoying!

    The sound on my iPod touch is really quiet, and i have to have the volume up at least halfway just to be able to hear it, but once I get a notification, it goes back to normal, but only until I either go into the app, unlock my iPod or change the song. It started a while ago when I was playing a game and the game crashed. Ever since then it has been really quiet. It's not the headphones because I tried them with my computer and they worked perfectly fine.

    Try the standared fixes
    - Reset. Nothong is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Delete the app that may have caused the problem.
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPoc

  • I have been having issues with downloading and updating apps on my iPod 4th gen. How do I fix this? It's getting really old really fast.

         So yeah, this has been going on the past week. When I tap to upload my apps, some update right away, but others won't. Sometimes they will dowload half way, sometimes they won't at all, what causes them to stop is this little message that pops up saying, "This app cannot be downloaded at this time." and it gives you options 'Done' or 'Retry." Instinctively I hit retry. Through the course of the day I did this, I kept hitting retry, and eventually all the apps that were updating, updated, but not very effieciently. All apps updated, except for one, Facebook. No matter how anytimes I hit retry, it wouldn't update. I got real sick and tired of it, so I deleted it. I decided to go through everything and delete old apps, pictures, music, thinking that I didn't have enough space. I go to download an app I've already had to test this theory out: Still doesn't work. The stupid thing won't even TRY to download. So, is there any way I can fix this without taking a sledgehammer to my iPod? Because, honestly, I am severly ticked off at how stubborn this is. Please help. Before my patience runs out and I break this thing.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • My mac freezes just for a second about every two seconds and it gets really hot really fast?

    When i am watching a video or just scrolling on a webpage, even typing, there is a small glitch ever 1-2 seconds where everything freezes just for a second. Its almost as if its lagging all the time. I have tried every utility and cant figure it out. Also, it gets pretty hot pretty fast, even when im doing much on it. Are these two things related? how do i fix it?
    thanks

    If you can, visit an Apple Store. Before you do, set up the phone "as new device" without using the backup afterwards, described here: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If you still have problems after that, visit the Store or call Apple to get it serviced: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • Fan comes on really loud really often?

    kinda bothersome to have this fan always coming on so loud. temp seems in the range of normal (b/t 40 and 47c hd and between 56 and 63c for "cpu a temperature diode"). comes on at random times. happens sometime when running processor intensive apps. happens other times when running routing tasks in ilife apps.
    is there anything wrong with the computer? is there a quick and safe fix for this? i'm running 10.4.9

    It’s not uncommon for the fan to cycle during processor intense periods such as running games, video rich content, etc. As a side note, ensure that you’re running the latest battery update as listed below.
    If the problem continues during normal operation, then contact AppleCare and have the condition logged on file and/or receive resolution.

  • Heavy Retouch Editing Really Slows Down Aperture!

    I've been editing a few images in Aperture 3.0.1 that have require a significant amount of Retouch editing. Once I've reached about 70-80 Retouch edit brush strokes, Aperture starts to bog down. If I go over 100 Retouch brush strokes, Aperture REALLY starts to slow down, particularly if I try to export a file to be edited in Photoshop or NIK plugins. In fact, exporting is DRAMATICALLY slowed down, even if just exporting a 800x800 JPG. If I hit 150+ Retouch brush strokes, the Export Version function in Aperture becomes all but unusable. It can take 20-30 minutes to actually export the version! And that's just for a single image.
    Once Aperture has caught up with itself, I can go and export a lightly edited image and it will happen in mere seconds. Go back to that heavily Retouched image, and export takes forever!
    I sure hope the next release of Aperture resolves this issue! As best I can tell, it is directly related to RETOUCH (both Repair and Clone) and not so much the other Adjustments.
    BTW, I have already shared my experience with the Aperture Team via Aperture Feedback.
    Mark

    I've seen this slowdown as well.
    I think that, to some extent, that this is an issue that will exist with the type of application that Aperture is. It is dynamically applying your edits and rendering a final image to your eye, and if you have 150 retouches Aperture has to do a LOT of work. I mean, really, the math and calculations required are extreme. Maybe there's a magic bullet for this in how Aperture renders the output, but I don't know from the non-destructive nature whether this is possible. It could just be that I can't think of an easy way.

  • Is Safari really slower than Firefox?!

    Hello,
    I'm trying to migrate to Safari, after years of using Firefox. One unsettling thing I've discovered is that for some reason when I click a bookmark in Safari very often there is a pregnant pause before it takes my to the requested page. Sometimes it freezes up all together & never takes me to the page so I have to retry getting to the page. This never happended with Firefox.
    Are my Safari settings somehow off or is Safari really that much slower than Firefox?
    Thanks.
    Jim

    Something's not right. Safari and Firefox should load pages the same.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select:  Clear History / Remove all website data / Clear the Downloads list
    Click Reset. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • REALLY Clean Install Mavericks

    I have a 13" Late 2012 MBP which I upgraded with a Crucial M500 SSD on which I clean installed Mavericks the day after its launch. The SSD was brand new then, so this was the first thing it was used for, straight out of the box.
    Now, I have a "talent" of messing with system files and I may have done something wrong here and there, because OS X is not as smooth as it was supposed to be (for example, compared with 10.8.5 which I previously had on it). App crashes here and there, Safari being very slow or "forgetting" that I clicked on a link etc.
    I have verified and repaired the startup disk (from Recovery Mode), same with the permissions, I scanned and repaired it with OnyX but still it doesn't perform as expected.
    So I decided to reinstall Mavericks, from scratch. As I would really hate to "inherit" some of these bugs on the new install, I REALLY want to to start fresh. So I need a clean install, free of any doubts, just like if it were brand new again.
    Are there any tips other than the normal clean install? By normal clean install I understand making a bootable USB with 10.9, booting from it, erasing the startup drive with Disk Utility and then installing from the USB. (I prefer the USB method, since it would take a while to download 10.9 from Apple, i.e. using Internet Recovery).
    And by the way, do you recommend a specific method of doing a bootable 10.9 USB? I tend to use the way via Terminal, but I also heard of DiskMakerX as an alternative.
    And last but not least...am I paranoid? Should I worry less and simply do a straight clean install, as this is *really* the *really* good way to go?

    ⌘R on Boot, Utilities->Disk Utility, Erase Disk, exit Disk Utility, Reistall OS X Mavericks.
    (I prefer the USB method, since it would take a while to download 10.9 from Apple, i.e. using Internet Recovery).
    edit: Or that...
    And by the way, do you recommend a specific method of doing a bootable 10.9 USB? I tend to use the way via Terminal, but I also heard of DiskMakerX as an alternative.

  • Been having loads of pop ups lately..anything i can do to stop this?? help please.its really annoying

    been getting loads of pop ups lately and its really annoying and slows down my mac book pro.help please

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
