Why is flex time being so slow?
I'm editing a group of 16 drum tracks for a 12min song.
It's quite full on but flex time has been handling it well up until the last 2 or 3 minutes of the song.
Now every time I place a flex marker, I literally have to wait over 30secs for Logic to load the marker.
My progress has completely dropped and I'm working to a deadline and need help!
Anyone know what the problem is?
I've got about 80GB HD space and no other programmes running.
Cheers
OK, you didn't mention that. Are you monitoring your RAM somehow? You should! How much RAM do you have anyway? And are you running Logic in 32 or 64 bit mode?
Used (red) vs unused (green) RAM.

The time on my iphone is not being updated automatically, althought it is set that way. Why does it not update the time and why is it 10 minutes slow?
Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts. I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could. I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong. -
Why is does my apple run SLOW.you go to open a program and the circle thing just spins for a delayed period of time. You change from typing in a word doc and go to say email or internet and it takes several minutes to allow you open anything up. Like it is frozen. I have tried rebooting the computer and it works for a few minutes then gets stuck.
Which model iMac do you have?

Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?
why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?
I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen). It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates). I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update? -

Why does firefox time out so often? slows down my working
Why does firefox time out so often. I can be in the middle of something and it just stops. did it as I am trying to write this note. very frustrating! It either times out or freezes. the former happens more often. I can be on the web or on yahoo mail.
The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Why can't I cut and edit a track anymore without Flex Time activating by itself?
Everytime I try to cut a track Flex Time activates itself. It's like I am forced to use Flex Time even though I don't want to. If I unticked Flex Time, it keeps activates itself no matter what. This garageBand 11 is just horrible. I wanna go back to the old one

@hands: thanks for note -
Flex time and minor tempo adjustments
Hey y'all!
So I'm working on a project in which vintage analog synths were run through tape before being digitized and brought into logic. Because tape is tape, this introduced some drift into the tempo. Instead of it being a nice clean 120bpm, it's 120.0103 and I want to use flex time to slow it down by 0.0103.
So when I have the flex algorithm set to polyphonic (or anything other than "off") and I have my flex markers in place, I'm expecting to see that when I change the project tempo to 120bpm, the waveform turns orange, indicating that the audio has been stretched.
The audio is NOT turning orange and when I listen to it, it doesn't sound like any adjustments have been made. Is Logic just disregarding this tempo adjustment as negligible?? Or is it actually stretching the audio but there's just a bug in how it's being displayed?
Thanks in advance for any help y'all can provide!is it actually stretching the audio but there's just a bug in how it's being displayed?
Logic is indeed stretching the audio. It's just not showing the color change. This is because the tempo change is so slight. You will notice the same thing if you drag the edge of the region to cause a tempo change to only this region. If you zoom in close in order to make a very small change, you'll notice that the color change doesn't happen as soon as you start dragging. The color change only appears after your dragging creates a change of a certain magnitude.
So it's the same phenomenon, whether you're changing the project tempo, or just changing the tempo of one region. The threshold seems to be about 0.5%. Is this a bug, or is it just a design choice? I think probably the latter. -
Safari being REALLY slow or sometimes "Cannot find server"! HELP!
Right, i have the new 'Safari 4' but its being really slow.
When trying to load up webpages, it sometimes takes AGES to load a page, or sometimes it even comes up with the message 'Safari cannot find the server'.
I have 'LittleSnitch' installed so I can see when Safari is using the internet to either upload or download information and most of the time, Safari is sat there doing nothing and not downloading any information...
I have reset Safari to no avail!
Why might this be happening?
Message was edited by: Ozzmystro'Safari cannot find the server'
Generally refers to a DNS problem.
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions. -
Why is the time remaining going up as I install adobe inDesign through creative cloud?
Why is the time remaining going up as I install adobe inDesign through creative cloud?
Downloads have built-in "checksums" (I think that's the correct term that basically check to make sure the bits of data are being downloaded correctly.
Sometimes the previous check has to redownload the previous bits. That can cause the time to go up.
Also, it may be that your bandwidth speed is slowing down or lots of others are accessing the bandwidth.
BUT if the download goes way, way up—like instead of 12 minutes, it goes to 6 hours, something's wrong with the installation. -
Time machine incredibly slow on brand new macbook pro
Hello everyone,
I bought a new Macbook pro 8Gb Ram dual core 2.8 GHz in late February of this year. Initially, the Time-machine back-ups worked very well and fast but on April 19 (shortly after my last back up), the hard drive of the computer died. I had it changed by Apple Care (for free given the warranty), but when the computer came back, it still could not boot, being always stuck on the welcome screen. The guys at the store made a complete reinstall of Mac OS 10.7 on the new hard drive and since then everything works fine... except that now (on Lion 10.7.4) whenever I try to do a back-up with the time machine, the progression is incredibly slow. It typically progresses Kb per Kb when I have about 86Gb to back-up....
I have check with disk utility that my time-machine external hard drive is fine. Furthermore, this HD is also used as a time machine for other macs and works very well in these cases. Finally, it still has more than 500Gb available on it.
I would like to know what's going on with my macbook pro ? Why is the time machine basically not working and what can I do to change that ? I am a little worried because, as you know, having back ups is essential and right now I simply cannot do a back up my brand new computer.Pierre G. wrote:
Well I started this backup two hours ago and I indeed observe the backup to progress by jumps. But overall it is really slow, right now it backed up 2Gb out of 88Gb.
Yes, after a failed backup, it may appear to be very slow. Let it run.
Also see #D2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the green box.
I just hope the total time will not just be proportional because I don't have 86h available to do the back up.
You must (or it's already spent some time deleting old backlups). Otherwise, it would have failed. Besides, the message you posted earlier said there was 508 GB available.
See what the messages say; all that will be documented. -

Why exactly would you care if the SIM in the missing device still works or not? -
Why is the itunes download so slow
why is the itunes download so slow - I am trying to download itunes update to recognize my new ipod touch 5th generation and my pc will not even show it in itunes, in trying to download the update the speeds are so slow that it is estimating download time in days. I have stopped and started the apple in services, but it is still unrecognized.
you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way
