4" x 6" videos take longer to open than a 3" x 5" vid? Load time affected?

I think I know the answer to my question but I want to make sure before I go and change the sizes of all my little mini videos:
Does the speed at which a video opens depend (among other things) on the DIMENSIONS OF THE VIEWING BOX? So that a 3“ x 5” picture takes longer to open than, say, a 4“ X 6” picture?
Is the difference a noticeable one? If a larger picture means waiting only two more seconds for the video to open and show, then that seems an Ok payoff to me. But if the wait becomes considerably longer, than it probably is not Ok to the visitor.
Thank you.

Winston C... I mean at the point where a visitor to my website has already opened the Big Album Index page and clicks onto one of my mini videos, like the Dominatrix Rise Up vid. If I were to make smaller the box in which you see the Dominatrix speaking, would that page open up faster? If yes, then is it substantially faster? Or am I ok just leaving the dimensions of the box alone?

HT1338 My mac is becoming too slow. It takes long to open word documents, pdf files or excel documents or even safari. Can anybody suggest something? I have tried to reduce the number of open applications, but does not seem to work.

Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. 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.

If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
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 corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ...

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

TS3989 Do videos take longer to upload to photo stream

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Does Mac OS X in 64 bits takes longer to boot than in 32 bits?

Hello, Does Mac OS X 10.6.3 in 64 bits mode takes longer to boot than in 32 bits mode?. If I boot Mac OS X in my MacBook Pro 5.1 in 64 bits mode it takes 51.3 sec, and if I boot it in 32 bits mode it takes 33.1 sec. I just want to know if this is normal or not. And in case this is normal I would appreciate it a lot if someone could explain me why it takes longer to boot in 64 bits mode than in 32 bits mode.
Thank you a lot for any help that you could give me

Just the opposite for me. My early 2008 Mac Pro definitely boots (and runs) faster in 64 bit mode. As Barry mentioned though, you may not want to do this.
The main rule is kernel extensions. If you have anything that needs to load on boot that is only 32 bit (mouse, keyboard, scanner or other type of driver/software), then you must boot in 32 bit mode or they won't load.
As long as all of your boot software is 64 bit compatible, then booting 64 bit is fine. 32 bit software you launch after the OS is up and running will still run as 32 bit with the OS in 64 bit mode.

Small QT videos takes long to load... oh and 1 min to open the Date & Time!

I just bought the new intel-based iMac (the 3rd choice on 4) and i can't believe how long it can take just to open a QuickTime video. _*The bigger is the file, the longer is the wait*_. I must warn you that I only tried to open .AVI and .WMV files. I installed the codecs in library/quickTime that i downloaded from apple downloads. Is it me or QT should appear instantly right when I double click on the video?
Another thing, it takes at least _*1 MINUTE just to open the DATE & TIME window*_. This is not normal at all. It takes 5 sec on the store's demo!!
I refund the 1st one because i thought maybe something was wrong with it and then the 2nd imac does the same thing. Anybody has that problem also?
Please help, i just switch from PC to mac. I dont want to be dissapointed by mac.

Well, there's a couple ways to handle this imo.
You can not let the door hit yah on the way out and go back to pc's (lol just adding some humor there)
But the best bet would be calling AppleCare and seeing if you can get someone to help troubleshoot. That would be the next step I would take. The resource is there and it beats waiting for someone with more troubleshooting skills than I to post something.
Could be a number of this but more than anything just a fluke since many others iMacs work without this issue or if they had it they aren't posting a fix.
Give AppleCare a call and have them run you though some steps like booting from dvd and performing hardware test, etc.
I hope you can find some resolution. I simply love this machine.

Everything seems to take longer to open in iOS 8 on my iPhone 5. Are others experiencing the same thing?

Since upgrading my iPhone 5 32 GB to iOS 8 the other day apps seem to take noticeably longer to open. For example, MyFitnessPal and FaceBook. One time the camera didn't even quite open and I had to force it closed and try again.
Are other people experiencing the same thing?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

When you got the new phone, you restored it from backup, I assume? If so, you might want to restore as new. I know it's a pain, but.......it might help.
In my case, whenever there are major upgrades, especially if my device is "underpowered" I usually restore as new with the new major upgrade. But that's me, and it is a pain in the end.
PS I did not restore as new with iOS 8 on my 5s, but did so on the 5 and 4S.

"Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

Hello all,
I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
Help, please!

iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

It takes longer to open my music and videos

I want to listen my music or watch my viedos on my ipod touch but it takes a long time to open music and video???
why??
and how can i solve it????

Hello Mariana,
Have you tried a hard reset to see if that makes a difference? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If the issue still persists, there may be a few corrupt files somewhere. So try restoring your iPod from a previous backup via iTunes.
And from there restore it to factory defaults if necessary. There corrupt files may be in the backup as well.

Videos take long time to appear

So here's a problem I've had ever since my purchase of a mac: When I open a video in quicktime by double clicking on the video, it takes somewhere between 10-30 seconds to actually appear (for the window to show up on my desktop). Sometimes the video may be on a remote hard drive or disk or something, so I could almost understand the wait (but not really because it shouldn't be loading the whole video into memory anyways...), but this happens even if I'm opening a video on my root partition. Is this normal? I sure hope not...
Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well in that case, if the video opening is faster in a new account per Kyn Drake's suggestion, then see if repairing permissions resolves the issue.

InDesign files take long to open when clicking file icon

Ok, I have a weird problem with a Windows XP machine running InDesign CS6. Whenever the user tries to open an .INDD document by double-clicking the file icon itself, it takes 3-5 minutes, literally, before the document will open. This is with InDesign running already. It happens with .indd files on servers, locally on the desktop, files with content & links, and even completely new & blank documents.
However, if the user simply drags the file into InDesign, it will open up right away. No problem.
This behavior is not being seen on other WinXP machines, nor is it being seen when trying to open other documents in other applications (i.e. MS Word) on this particular computer.
Any ideas? This machine had Windows XP and Adobe CS6 reinstalled from scratch yesterday.
Thanks!
William

Sad that this issue was never addressed or responded to, for I am having the same exact problem with InDesign CS5.5 and with files located on a network server. I tried the above suggestion of dragging the file directly into InDesign but that doesn't work everytime.

WEBSITE takes long to open.

I have a few movies on my website (5) that are under 10 MB in size.
People (PC users in particular) find it slow to open.... 4 minutes.
Is there something I can do to speed things up?
The moviews are exported from FCE to quicktime -to desktop -to QT PRO to -export for web.
Any input appreciated.
www.echoback.ca

There is one way you might add the movies to the page which will not require the movie to load with the page. See the example in this demo page: QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.
There's a second way but might not be what you're looking for. Any way see this demo page: Opening Movie in a New, Precisely Sized Window. It's easier to implement.
Converting the files to flash and embedding the flash file into the page with an HTML snippet would let the videos be compatible with more computers - more have flash capability than Quicktime, especially over in the "darkside".

Hard Drive takes long to open!

i have a couple of internal drives installed in my 2.8 GHz 8 Core Mac Pro (running 10.6.3), and lately i have discovered that they seem to become stuck. what i mean is that if i double click or select a drive from the Finder the drive takes 4 seconds to open.
This is unusual because before it was instantaneous.
Anybody encounter this problem before? i am planning to do a erase and clean install soon, this might fix it.

Do you have the hard drives set to go to sleep? Sounds like spinup time.

MS Excel 2010 takes long to open with Hyperion Smartview 11

Hi,
the MS Excel 2010 takes about 20 sec to open a blank sheet when is with a user without Internet access. It is automatically open with Internet access. This behaviour started after the installation of Hyperion Smartview.
Can you help?
Ant K.

I've never worked with Hyperion Smart view.
But it sounds like the program configured to access the internet and perform an operation, such as check for updates for that program. Since we know this issue may caused by the Hyperion Smart view. If it is an add-in for office, we can try
to disable it to check if excel can open blank worksheet normally, meanwhile, if you want to use this tool, you can enable it. File->options->add-in

MacKeeper is utter garbage!!!!
Before even attempting an OS X upgrade, completely remove this serious "crapware" from your system!!!!!
If you do not believe me, do a search in these support forums for MacKeeper and you can see for yourself!
Get rid of it!
See if your system speeds up after completely ridding your system of everything connected to MacKeeper.
Please, start a new thread and do not hijack a thread of another user posting!
