Acrobat 9.5.3 - very slow to open files

Recently, opening a file with Acrobat has started an excruciatingly long time - sometimes as long as 30-60 seconds for a small file. What makes the problem even more frustrating is that files sometime open within a reasonable period of time. No, the problem is not related to other background tasks - this is new behavior and my usage patterns have not changed.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem (running a fully patched Win 7 x64 system)? More importantly, has anyone figured out how to resolve the problem? I would consider trying to revert to 9.5.2, but there is no easy way to do that.

Had the same problem on Windows XP after Installing Patch 9.3.3.
The problem could be solved by reseting the user settings.
Rename the following REGKEYS:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Acrobat Reader
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Adobe Acrobat
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Acrobat Reader_Old
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Adobe Acrobat_Old
The keys are created at the next start with the basic settings.

Excel very slow to open files

Recently installed Microsoft office 2010 pro and certain excel files are very slow to open. Every other program opens just fine, however when I open certain documents they can take up to 2-3 minutes to open. If I try to open multiple excel documents at the
same time my computer freezes. I disabled all of the add-ons, however it did not do anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
System information: Intel i5- 6GB Ram, Windows ultimate edition

Try this :
Go to a folder in Windows Explorer, then Tools ->
Folder Options, then the
File Types tab. For each of XLS, XLSM, XLSB, XLSX, etcetera, select it, then click
Advanced, (if Advanced doesnt show, click Restore first, then Advanced) select
Open in the
Actions list, then click Edit
Adjust the settings to:
Application used to perform action:
- "C:...\EXCEL.EXE" "%1"
Use DDE
- Checked

This is meant to open a new instance of Excel each time you double click on an Excel file. I had /DDE at the end of the command string and other garbage in
the DDE area below.
But the above worked for me.

10.7 client very slow to open files on 10.5.8 server

hello,
we have an xserve running 10.5.8 with a connected xraid, which works fine for clients up to 10.6.8
however clients running 10.7 experience very slow opening times of TXTs, RTFs, PDFs and JPGs - strangely the spacebar preview opens all files instantly, but if you try to open the same files with their respective default app (e.g. text edit or preview) it takes up to a minute!
quite obviously this is very frustrating, thus any hints as to what might be causing this would be much appreciated.

Hi, as a suggestion I would run Onyx:- http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
Then I would go the SMC route, you will need to determine the correct SMC procedure for your model.
I would also check/reset the Startup Disc (System Preferences)
Did you add the extra RAM or was it factory fitted? Have you run TechTool?
Are the Apps running via Rosetta?...L

Lion Preview and Textedit very slow when opening files from Leopard Server

My small office (about 10 users) recently upgraded our iMac's, Mac Mini's, and Macbook Pro's. We are experiencing a big problem with Preview opening super slow (1-2 minutes) when trying to open JPG's, PDF's, etc from our 10.5.8 Leopard Server. We have deleted numerous plist files related to Preview, completely deleted Preview.app from one iMac and reinstalled it via Pacifist and still no change in performance. One of the new iMac's does open much faster than the others, but we cannot figure out why this one machine works well and the others don't.
All machines are showing the below error (dozens of times) in Console when trying to open files directly from the server...
sandboxd: ([###]) Preview(###) deny system-fsctl
We have searched the internet for a solution but have not come up with anything that works. This problem exists with Textedit as well. We did try opening a file from one Lion machine to the other and it opened very fast. We also can open files very quickly from older 10.4.11 Tiger machines directly from the server. So the best we can determine right now is Lion and Leopard Server are not playing nicely together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have pasted (one of) the console log files below for reference.

"Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

Mac Dreamweaver CS6 very slow to open files

Hi
My Mac Dreamweaver CS6 opens html files in about 1-2 minutes! It is very very slow. It all works when the file is open but it is the actual opening that is slow.
I have turned off external files but no change.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

I've been strugling with this issue for a long time.
I've found that Dreamweaver takes about 2 minutes to open CSS files with @import url for font face.
for example:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300);
i've never had problem with big files but if i place this line into my 20k css file, it takes for ever to load.
if i remove it, it opens fast as usual.
Please don't tell me that it could be a Google problem thatis loading slow because it's not.
the font file isnt big enough either.
Of course i have deativated the "load things from external urls" setting.
any ideas on how could this be fixed withoput changing my work style ?

Dreamweaver very slow when opening files with external links

Is there any way to fix Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows 7, 64bit) when opening files with external references?
For example, I have a very simple CSS file, and toward the top the file has a line that says:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:500,700");
This causes the file to take around 20 seconds to open in DW. If I comment out the line or remove it, the file opens almost instantly. This behaviour is also present in files that contain an SSI.
DW often crashes before being able to open the file and I need to restart the app.
Can I disable DW from attempting to load the references?? It's obviously what is causing the issue IMO and would love to make DW workable again!

Acrobat 9.3.4 is very slow to open files

Greetings:
I have Acrobat 9.3.4 installed on a Dell Latitude D630 with a 2.4 GHz T7700 Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM. I re-installed Windows XP SP3 about a month ago due to some USB issues. The motherboard was replaced prior to that to try to resolve the USB issues, but the culprit turned out to be corrupted Windows USB drivers. There were other issues with IE which I was unable to resolve without an O/S re-install, so I went ahead and re-installed XP.
The laptop has been running great for the last four weeks and I've had Acrobat 9 installed on the laptop since then, too. It was functioning fine until yesterday. While opening a PDF file on my local hard drive, I saw no disk or CPU activity or any sign that Acrobat was even starting. I opened up Windows Task Manager and saw that Acrobat had started but was "not responding". About 30 seconds after I attempted to start Acrobat, the file finally opened and browsing performance in the file was fine.
I have repaired my Acrobat installation (essentially a 10 minute re-install) and that did nothing to improve the startup speed. I have not knowingly changed any Acrobat settings in the last four weeks. I appreciate any suggestions you may have which may improve this situation. Thanks!

First let me disclose that I am not an expert nor even much less. However I used to have this slow as a turtle opening of FF until I got rid of my antivirus software which at the time was Avast. I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials and have had no problems since. FF loads in 3 to 4 seconds!

Acrobat 9.3.3 very slow to open PDFs in Windows 7

Ever since I upgraded to 9.3.3 (standard version) pdfs have been extremely low to open up. Is this a known issue? A cursory search through the knowledge base did not reveal anything recent that would suggest that this is common.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Had the same problem on Windows XP after Installing Patch 9.3.3.
The problem could be solved by reseting the user settings.
Rename the following REGKEYS:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Acrobat Reader
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Adobe Acrobat

The keys are created at the next start with the basic settings.

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
Mark

Open and Save Dialogs Very Slow to Open and Populate

In all of my apps, the Open and Save dialogs have become +very slow+ to open and populate since installing Snow Leapoard.
This only happens on one of my machines, and not others. (I've unmounted all connected drives, just to eliminate that possibility.)
Any thoughts on what this could be. The delay is significant (and feels like the old days of Windows, which I thought I'd left behind).

The problem now appears to have gone away. The only change I've made is that I replaced an external drive that had recently died with a new one and gave it the same name as the failed drive.
Could a the dead drive have left something behind (or failed to leave something behind) that is stumbled over (or looked for and not found) each time the file system was accessed, and that got cleaned up (or re-created) when the new drive was connected and renamed?

Since installing OS X 10.8.2 Safari is very slow to open sites

Since installing OS X 10.8.2 Safari is very slow to open sites

Do you get a notice that Safari has quit unexpectedly? If so, please do the following.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Photoshop CC very slow to open after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hi guys.
I was wondering can you help me. I have tried extensive google searches with no real conclusive answer. I recently upgraded from Win 8 to 8.1. Since the upgrade Photoshop CC is very slow to open. It can take 1-2 minutes to boot up fully. Lightroom 5.2 & bridge open fine. I have a pretty fast system with i7 3.4Ghz Processor & 32Gb of Ram with the OS running on a 256Gb SSD Hard Drive. PS CC booted up fine on Win 8 but not anymore since the upgrade. The only plug-in I run is OnOne Photosuite 8. I have even tried disabling loading extenions at start up from the preferences menu but it makes no difference as it can stil take 1-2 minutes to open. Any help appreciated??

There was a Photoshop update that corrected a problem Adobe had accidentally introduced with a link that went to a network resource that is not available for anyone outside Adobe. But that was a while ago. See: Re: Photoshop CC startup slow (much harddisk access)
I've had Win 8.1 all along and never had an update cause a slowdown.
Unfortunately problems that go away on their own often return on their own. I hope that's not the case for you and that it continues to work properly.

Safari was very slow in opening up Google sites. I found a discussion thread that suggested changing the "Configure IPv6" setting to "Off" in the System Preferences, Network, Advanced, TCP/IP section. That seems to work well. Are there any risks?

Nope. You can always reverse that if you choose.

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.
