Slow Performance, Windows with My Documents Redirection, path temp

I've been annoyed by the SLOW performace on Itunes for Windows ever since i purchased my iPhone, i think i know one reason for my slow performance now.
My Windowx-box is member of a domain (connected to a Windows Small Business server) and for security we use folder-redirection on "My Documents" folder (i.e instead of "C:\%username%\my documents\" we use \\server\%username%\my documents) this is a quite common setup on any businesscomputer using windows.
Itunes on windows defaults to storing its cache and library in My Documents and in my case its on \\server\ , this hurts performance tremendously since im on a wireless 54g connection.
I'd like to be able to configure where I want the library stored AND wich HD to put temp-files/cache on...
If this is something that takes ages to fix I welcome any reghacks or directions or wich file to hex-edit to make a workaround.

Copy the iTunes folder on the server to you local hard drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library*.
Select the *iTunes library.itl* file in the iTunes folder on your local drive.

  • New window with same document

    I'm considering switching from Excel to Numbers, and looking at the functions I use the most.
    In Excel I often have 2 windows open with the same document (one with my income, and one with my expenses for instance). Are you able to open a new window of the same document in Numbers?

    I agree, but this thread was/is about opening multiple windows onto a single document. I contend that, where using multi-window viewing makes sense, so might a less monolithic arrangement of several tables, perhaps across a couple of sheets.
    There are at least two reasons for a large table in Numbers:
    (1) The table is designed with an Excel mindset (or imported from Excel) where there isn't this particular degree of freedom of many separate tables. When I see questions about multi-window or split screen viewing, often at the heart of the matter is Excel mindset. In Excel it is common to create separate "zones" within a larger spreadsheet. This practice can create spreadsheets covering vast numbers of cells. In Numbers, these zones would better occupy separate tables, and not just because of the visibility issue. Separate tables resize more naturally, a problem in Excel when resizing one zone disrupts another.
    (2) The table contains a lot of data of the same form (sharing the same headers). I think Numbers could use some work in handling this case. At minimum, while a table is active, the table headers and footers could be "pinned" to the window while scrolling as the column labels: A,B,C,.. and row labels 1,2,3,... are currently.

  • Slow performance WLS with jdbc pools

    Hi all, we have follow configuration of our system: the server with applications and server with jdbc pools. Recently we get strange situation. The server with jdbc pools it seems hung. We get thread dumps for this server and we see that it not hung, but normally work but very slow. Many weblogic.kernel.Default threads were busy by rmi database calls (see below). Anothe strange that before slowing server work nothing enties in server log. Last entry in server log were one hour before slow work. May someone propose why this situation can occure?

    -- end of trace</b>Hi. It seems you're doing JDBC in an external client, using our RMI-based
    JDBC wrappers to the actual connection in the WLS server, and you are
    doing LOB retrieval. This means your query goes from your client to
    the WLS process, and then to the DBMS, and the LOB data (big) has to go
    from the DBMS to the WLS process and then back over RMI to your client.
    This is bound to be inefficient. If you can move your JDBC to a JSP or
    other serverside class, it will be much faster. Otherwise, if the
    management that WLS provides is not strictly necessary for the LOB
    manipulation, it may be faster to get that directly from the DBMS to
    the external client by using the vendor's JDBC driver directly.

  • ADF Application slow performance configured with OID

    I have an ADF application using ADF Security with LDAP provider (Portal OID). I have followed the deployment steps including jazn migration tools to the OID. The application works fine. However, the performance degraded significantly compared to deploying it on a stand alone OC4J with XML based jazn during development.
    This is my first ADF deployment, has anyone experienced this issue? Any suggestions?

  • Slow performance even with 2GB of RAM

    I am a long time Windows user and last week I finally made the switch. I had been contemplating making the switch over to a Mac ever since the Macbook Pros came out but they were a little out of my price range. Needless to say when the Macbooks came out I was sold. I bought a white 2.0 GHz Macbook. I noticed that it was a little sluggish when I ran several programs (i.e. Safari, iTunes, Mail, etc). According to several posts I have read this is to be expected with only 512MB of RAM. However, I recently upgraded to 2GB of RAM (2x1GB Patriot SO-DIMM DDR2 PC-5300). I have read several posts that say that with 2GB of RAM the system "just flies" or "cuts through programs like butter". I didnt really notice the speed boost that I was expecting. I was expecting programs to open right when I click on the icon but it still lags a little. Is there something else I need to do after I install the RAM? Is seems as though with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo and 2GB of RAM I should see a substantial boost in speed. I think my 2GB of RAM is fine. The system profiler registers the new RAM at 667 MHz and everything seems to be ok. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm getting the same thing, and I don't think it's the RAM, since I've already tried 2 different brands, one was a knockoff Samsung from eBay and another is authentic Samsung, from eBay, so still could be knockoff.
    However, I mostly run Windows on my MacBook and notice no slowdowns, but when I boot into OSX, it is almost unusable, even the dashboard stutters into view. I checked out the System Analyzer and found no programs hogging up resources, and iStat nano reports 1.5GB RAM free!
    So I don't get it, Apple's hardware test shows no problems, one of these nights I'm going to run Memtest for OSX to see if anything shows...
    If I put my original Hynix 512MB memory back in, the sluggishness is gone, but it still runs like a machine with a low amount of memory.
    Someone suggested creating a new account, so I am going to try that tonight. I sort of want to reload OSX, but would hate to go through all of that work if it's not gonna help.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Newbie: 6020E (USB) slow performance with mixed digital and analog input

    Hi,
    I'm using a 6020E to do analog and digital input, and I'm getting very bad performance.
    Please note that doing IO in Labview is new to me!
    I have read the post about 6020E slow performance, and it says I should do buffered IO.
    Can anybody point me to some DOC or SAMPLE that actually shows or explains how one should do this. I need to read several digital IO lines (which I can combine in one port-read), and several analog inputs.
    Seeing how slow the reading on the 6020E is, I am amazed there is only one post that deals with this issue.
    I would be satisfied to get the 6020E into some sort of continuous read mode so that whenever I need data, I get the latest reading right away.
    thanks,
    Peter D'Hoye

    Hi Peter,
    Your cannot do buffered digital I/O with your daqpad. It doesn't have that capability. You can only make direct software calls with digital read/write from/to your port. So your digital IO is completely software clocked and not hardware clocked. The example you are trying is only for specific Simultanuous sampling boards or now also for M-series boards that are able to do correlated DIO.
    Use the Cont Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi example for your analog measurements. (NI Example Finder) For your digital IO you can only use the examples like Read Dig Chan.vi, Read Dig Port,...
    There are indeed some slow performance issues with single point I/O Operations, that is correct.
    Check the explaination below:
    DAQPads are offered for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire). Both of these standards use a high-speed serial communication protocol between the computer and the device with a bandwidth up to 12 MB/s for USB and 400 MB/s for FireWire.
    During a single point operation, the DAQ device requires a complete set of configuration commands. This is done through serial communication (USB or FireWire), making the process slower than in a PCI-based board. The speed obtained for single point operation in a DAQPad is system dependent; this means that your computer processor, memory, bus speed, and other factors alter the speed at which you can do single-point operations with a DAQPad.
    For example, on the DAQPad-6020E, timed non-buffered analog input operations are limited to about 50 Hz. At higher rates, the software may become unresponsive. On a FireWire device, you can expect stable operation around 3,000 Hz. But again, these figures are system dependent.
    Regards.

  • Access 2007 very slow on Windows 7

    Access 2007 is running very slowly in on two new Windows 7 clients.  By slow, I mean the response time within Access - moving from screen to screen is dreadfully slow, taking 30+ seconds on Windows 7 to do what a computer with Windows XP will do in
    1 second.
    I cannot find any information that addresses the issue.
    We have been running Windows XP SP3 clients successfully for almost a year.  The speed is virtually instantaneous.  The Access file is hosted on a file server, Windows Server 2003, with SQL Server Express 2008.  Nothing has changed on the
    server.  The Windows XP clients previously and currently experience no problems.
    The first of 2 new computers were deployed with Windows 7, with OS pre-loaded from Dell.  Microsoft update was run to update OS and Access.  Once discovered that Access was running brutally slow, I used the other new PC to test.  Windows 7
    freshly installed.  Office 2007 freshly installed.  Tested - still slow.  Ran Windows Update, then re-tested.  Still slow.
    The issue reminds me of the slowness experienced when we were developing the Access database on my laptop which was running Vista.  So, it runs fine on XP, but not on Vista or 7.
    I'm convinced the problem is a conflict with Windows 7 on the client, but cannot pinpoint it.  I've searched these forums and Google for answers, but have not found any information that has specifically addressed this issue.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    After reading numerous forums , I was able to resolve 
    the following issues (Screens Freezing, Screens Lag/Flickers, combo/list boxes freezing whilst searching for data) by carrying out the following:
    Creating a brand new copy of the MS Access database in MS Access 2007/2010 using the Windows 7 image
    Importing the database objects (tables queries, forms, reports, macros and modules) into MS Access 2007 /2010 d/b within the Windows 7 image.
    Setting the
    MaxBufferSize of 16384 (Decimal), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (regedit) onto various PCs as recommended by various forums.
    Making sure that the relevant reference libraries have been selected for MS Access 2007. This should automatically set throughout the default
    installation as demonstrated below:
    Visual Basic For Applications
    Microsoft Access 12.0 Object Library
    OLE Automation
    Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
    Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
    Also by typing in the following words into Google, provided me with some solutions, however the instructions above allowed me to rectify the issues
    experienced above.
    MS Access 2007 slow in Windows 7
    MS Access 2007 and Windows 7 issues
    MS Access 2007 freezes
    Performance slow with MS Access and Linked Tables
    Slow performance windows 7 using MS Access

  • Very slow scrolling window thumbnails clips

    Very slow scrolling windows with thumbnail clips. The more files in the event, the worse it gets. It is very frustrating. Is in others it is the same? I have MacOookPro i7 early 2011, thunderbolt drives RAID0, 16GB memory, FCPX 10.0.7. After the hardware is decent.
    Give some feedback, thank you.
    P.S. I might add that this disadvantage are found from version 10.0.0.

    You might want to look at either booting from your install dvd (insert, restart and hold 'C' down) and running disk repair from Utilities. Alternatively, and I always suggest any Mac user should have at least one, a 3rd party disk utility like DiskWarrior (there are others) is extremely useful.

  • Windows 7 icons disappear/reappear Green Progress folder bar issues with slow performance. HELP!!!

    Hi there, I hope someone can help me. This all started about a week ago. So I tried a fresh reinstall from my recovery disk. to no avail. Ok I have Home Premium 64bit and it seems my icons in my user folders and subfolders and the actual file icons are
    blank stand ard or missing. after a while they reappear to normal. the green progress bar in the explorer folders always lags and never fully completes. It hangs. Now I see that it takes 30 secs to get a program to open. Currently my control panel screen is
    blank and my connection between my ipod touch 5g and my desktop is very slow at data transfer. I'm going bonkers! The only things I altered was turning off WMM in my router, Installed a software someone gave me (only to find out it was a crack software) deleted
    that first! and used CCleaner to clean my registry

    Hi,
    So a total reinstall didn’t fix the issue?
    We may take a try with the following article to make Windows a better performance.
    Optimize Windows for better performance
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/optimize-windows-better-performance#optimize-windows-better-performance=windows-7
    Then, please check to see if any new updates available, also the related drivers, make sure they are up-to-date.
    After that, if issue insists, please refer to the following article to run chkdsk command in CMD to check if there are disk issue.

  • Extremely slow performance with Radeon HD 7870

    Hi,
    I am using a number of Adobe programs on my new Windows 8 64 bit system, with 16 gigs of ram, an Intel Core i5 2.67ghz, and AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 gig. All the programs (including After Effects and Illustrator) work very well with the exception of Photoshop CS6 64 bit, which has extremely slow performance with Use Graphics Processor enabled in my preferences (which Photoshop selects by default). If I turn off Use Graphics Processor, the slow performance vanishes. If I change Drawing Mode to Basic, there might be a slightly detectable improvement over Normal and Advanced, but it's still horribly slow. The refresh rate seems to be just a few frames per second. Everything is slow: brushes, zooming, panning, everything.
    I've tried changing the settings I've seen suggested elsewhere: I switched Cache levels to 2, history states to 10, and tile size to 128k. No effect. Photoshop is currently at the default of using 60% of available ram. Efficiency has remained at 100% throughout all my tests. Also, this slow performance has affected me from the moment I installed Photoshop; it didn't crop up after previous good performance. The problem exists regardless of the size or number of documents I have open. Performance is still terrible even when I create a 500 x 500 pixel blank new canvas and try a simple task like drawing with the brush.
    Photoshop is fully up to date, and so are my graphics drivers (Catalyst version 13.1). Any help would be greatly appreciated; at the moment performance is so bad in Photoshop that it's unusable with graphics acceleration enabled. Thanks in advance for replying.

    Great news!
    I followed your suggestion, Noel, and uninstalled my drivers with the Catalyst Uninstall Utility (which I hadn't used before), rebooted, reinstalled Catalyst 13.2 Beta 7, rebooted, deleted the PS Prefs, started PS, and now the performance is radically improved!
    It baffles me why I would need to do a clean driver uninstall in a new system environment that has only ever had this video card, and is only a few months old, but that action seems to be what's improved the situation. Note that because I deleted the PS preferences, the good performance now occurs with the default Use Graphics Processor enabled, and Drawing Mode set to Advanced (with every feature in the Advanced dialog checked except 30bit display).
    Having no reference point, I can't tell for sure if performance is as good as it theoretically ought to be for my system specs, but using the standard 13px brush is only slightly laggy behind the cursor, even if I become reckless and squiggle on the canvas violently. It wasn't just sluggish response before: Photoshop seemed to be in pain trying to draw the line segments as it laboured to catch up to the cursor. That is pretty much gone now.
    Much more tellingly, zooming and panning the canvas is like it ought to be, responsive and clean, more or less like it was for me in CS4 with my old Nvidia 9600GT. The poor performance with zooming and panning was the most worrying aspect of the issue. It's a great relief to see these working more properly now.
    I have to confess I'm a little embarrassed to have drug you through all this hassle only to discover that something as rudimentary as properly cleaning out the drivers would be the apparent solution. I never would have imagined that doing that, with such a new and stable system, would make any difference, since I don't have a legacy of older drivers dotting my hard drive. In any event, I'm really grateful that you guys took the time to try to help me.
    In the interest of completeness, here's the relevant portion of my system info after doing the reinstall steps I mentioned above:

    As you can see, the Microsoft Basic Render Driver still appears as a Video Card in the list. This presumably has something to do with Windows 8, and I really don't know if its presence here is still a sign that my card is not being used to its optimal capability. I have a hunch that the slight lag that I am still experiencing with the brush when Use Graphics Processor is on -- totally absent with the acceleration turned off -- implies that Photoshop is still unable to take maximum advantage of my card. I would assume that the brush tool should be more responsive with acceleration on than off, in a rig without any issues, but that's just assumption on my part. If you turn off Use Graphics Processor on your systems, is the brush tool more or less responsive?
    But again, panning the canvas with the hand tool is now extremely responsive, without any screen tearing or visible lag, and that's a massive improvement over the total meltdown of performance I was suffering from before.
    Thanks again very much for your help. I'm grateful to all of you who took the time to chime in.

  • Printer redirection Slow performance

    We have a Remote Desktop Server 2008R2.
    When a user logs in (trough TS Gateway) with Printer redirection enabled (Using Easy Print method) the performance is very bad.
    It's not printing that is slow, it's the performance of the RDP Session/server
    For our test we disabled AntiVirus on the server.
    Fox example: A user logs in with Local Printers, opening a small Doc file takes about 10 seconds. If the user logs of and logs in without local printers the doc file opens within a second.
    Also generally everything is much faster without printer redirection.
    The server is fully updated and we are using the most recent RDP Client.
    The server is connected to an internet connection with 50/5 Mb Down/Up speed. 

    Hi,
    I did a couple of tests:
    - Step1: Removed all local printers, logged on with printer redirection enabled on the RDP client. Result: No performance problems with opening DOC files.
    - Step2: Added printer 1, logged on. Result: Slow performance with opening DOC files.
    - Step3: Removed printer 1, added printer2, logged on. Result: Slow performance with opening DOC files.
    - Step4: Repeated Step3 with all printers. Result: Slow performance with opening DOC files.
    So it doesn't matter which printer we add, it always results in slow performance. The printers are all from different brands. I happens with all user accounts, also with users that are Domain Admins.
    OS:
    RDS Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
    Client: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
    We monitored the CPU and Memory usage while starting Word, the cpu's doesn't use more then 4% utilization and the memory usage is low.
    The Remote Desktop Services server has Office 2003 installed with SP3. We cannot upgrade Office to 2007/2010 because it's incompatible with our database.
    Can it be that Word 2003 is loading the redirected printers while opening a document what is causing the slow performance?
    Kind regards,
    Bas 

  • Issue with length of file paths - Windows & C++ plugin

    Hello,
    I've got an issue that just popped up on my OCR plugin I've been working on that I suspect is related to the length of the filepath.
    I'm getting the following error that is being caught and logged when trying to open a file (filename changed for security purposes):
    Error Opening File: D:\aVeryLongFilePath.pdf
    Exception info: This file cannot be found.
    The entire string, including the D:\ part, is 266 characters long. I cut down the length of part of the path one by one and it was able to open and OCR the document when the length was 259 characters.
    I know there's a MAX_PATH variable in Windows and/or there's some kind of limitation for file length. Note that I can open the file in Acrobat using File->Open and run OCR on it individually using the built-in Recognize Text function, but if I try to Recognize Text for Multiple files and choose "Add Folders", the file in question doesn't show up in the list of files to be batch OCR'd (even though it is there). Interestingly, choosing "Add Files" from the Recognize Text->In Multiple Files does work. So Acrobat itself has at least some issues opening the file using some of it's features.
    Here's how I'm opening the document:
         string pn;               // assume this is initialized, I'm just putting this here to demonstrate what type it is
         pathName = pn;
         ASAtom pathType = ASAtomFromString("Cstring");
         asPathName = ASFileSysCreatePathName(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), pathType, pn.c_str(), NULL);    
         pdDoc = PDDocOpen(asPathName, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, true);
    Is there a way around this problem?
    Thanks.

    Yes, you are hitting the MAX_PATH on certain versions of Windows.   The only workaround would be to see that the file is "a very long path" and then break up the pathname construction into multiple pieces (perhaps the containing directory and then the file itself).  The other option is don't use Cstring to construct, use the Unicode variant.

  • Windows Server 2012 very slow performance executing files

    Hello,
    I am running windows server 2012 as dc with 2 clients connected running win7 pro x64, this is a new setup.

  • Outlook 2013 slow to start with Outlook 365 on Windows 7

    Hi,
    I get to work, start up my PC. It's windows 7.
    The first thing I do is kick off Outlook 2013 which piggy backs off office 365.
    It takes a minute for the splash screen to appear, another minute of watch dots fly across the splash page then a minute while add-ins get applied.
    Why does it take so long for the first two phases to complete?
    What add ins do I actually need? I've disabled those I think surplus to requirements, but in reality if Outlook 2013/0ffice 365 need them why do they need to be added in at all?
    Thanks.

    but I have since been advised to post it here to.

    Hi,
    According to your description, outlook 2013 connects to Exchange online server very slowly.
    If yes, we can try the following methods to narrow down the cause of the slow performance:
    1. Try start your Outlook in  safe mode, and check the launch speed;
    2. Check if you have enabled  Cache Exchange Mode, if no, enable it and try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
    3. Create a new profile with no email account, try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
    4. Create a new Profile with the other email account, try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
    Since the issue is related to Exchange online, I recommend you ask for help on our Exchange online forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicesexchange
    Thanks for your understanding in advance.

  • Which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks?

    Hi,
    Please advice that currently we have 3200 logical devices configured on CiscoWorks and CiscoWorks is running very very slow. CiscoWorks installed on server with Windows Server 2003 32-bit and this version of windows it can only support RAM up to 4GB, which is already installed. In order to increase the RAM we have to upgrade the windows version as well.
    Please advise that which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks.  E.g. Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Standard Edition 64-bit: or Windows server 2008 etc. Please advise us the full windows release version as we will upgrade windows as per your suggestion.
    We are currently using the LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.0, CM 5.2.1

    Please refer to the Installation Guide for Windows server requirements. Here is the link:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html#wp1099303
    Given that you want to stay with Windows Server, Server 2008 Standard Edition with service Pack 2 would be your best choice.
    NOTE that your should not (and cannot) use Server 2008 R2. That version in only supported with LMS 4.0.1. LMS 3.2 will not work with Server 2008 R2.
    With a 64-bit OS, you can increase your RAM - which is usually constraining system performance on systems with 32-bit OS. I recommend just putting in 16 MB. Why skimp on $100 RAM with $20,000 software?
    Your other alternative is to divide the server roles across several machines. That is a pretty complex task so I'd do the OS and RAM upgrade first and see how that helps you out.
    Re "Linux" LMS 3.2 (and 4.0/4.0.1) is only supported on Windows and Solaris operating systems. Plus if you're not a Uniux admin, the learning curve can be steep for your first dip in the water.
