After 10.5.7 update, extremely slow home sync

After updating the server to 10.5.7, the 'full' sync at login/logout has become extremely slow. On a sub-spec Leopard machine like a 500MHz G4 it actually took 30 minutes to log in because of slow syncing. On a MacBook (Core Duo) it takes 15 minutes. It takes long checking, it is very slow syncing, and finishing takes another 4-5 minutes.
On 10.5.6 it was OK. Both clients have been updated to 10.5.7 client. Multiple login/logouts do not change anything. Logging out (15min sync) and immediately logging in results in another 15min sync.
Most of the time seems spent syncing of Library/PubSub. It may be just 1.5MB or so, but it takes ages.
I am using server side file tracking.
Anything I can try to do to make this usable again?

I first removed syncing ~/Library/PubSub but this did not help too much.
I removed the contents of ~/.FileSync from clients (2) and server. Since the clients have FileVault home dirs that requires being logged in everywhere.
The old SQLite db in ~/.FileSync directory was 16MB, the new one 1.8MB. After that, I have seem an improved responsiveness. Still not something extremely fast, but good enough.
It would be good if there was some sort of 'reclaim' functionality in the SQLite db that underlies home syncing, just like there is for FileVaulted home directories.

IPod updates extremely slow...

I just recently restored my iPod, but it is going extremely slow. At this rate it will take me couple hours to get about a thousand songs on. Does anyone know why it sometimes updates so slow??

Hey,
i'm having the same awful problem, I have an ipod mini 2004 (with the firewire connection cord) and when i go to update songs it is extremely slow... the first time i did this i thought it was frozen. However it's taking about a half hour for 13 songs at present.
This is a new problem for me, i've had the ipod for 2 years now. I've updated on this G4 before and it was fine, as well i've updated on my old ibook G3 and had no issues.... what the **** is going on with my baby?

MBP shutdown after 10.6.2 update is slower than before!

Hello all,
Since after 10.6.2 update, my MBP shutdown time extended from less than 5 secs to over 25 secs. I've gone through some solutions including resetting disk permissions using disk utility, setting the PRAM, using font explorer to clear fonts as suggested by a user that got his problem solved. No luck at the moment. Prior to 10.6.2 update my MBP used to shutdown in less than 5 secs. Although i bought a new usb modem called ZTE usb Modem (Model: K3565-Z) from my cellphone carrier Vodacom in South Africa. I mention this because on my Mac Mini, whenever i want to shutdown, i have to force quite this application before the Mac Mini (which is also running 10.6.2 update) shuts down fine under 5 secs. So am guessing the usb modem is the cause of the problem somehow but I can't find out how. If not then it must be with the 10.6.2 update.
Any help will be appreciated.

1.) Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
Failing that, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.
2.) Did you update via Software Update or did you download the combo? If you used Software Update, get the Combo updater instead and re-apply:

Why is iTunes is extremely slow to sync suddenly?

Recently iTunes has become incredibly slow to sync. While syncing to my 1st gen iPad, the app is making progress but it is soooo slow. Trying to interfere results in beachballing. I seem to have noticed the change after two recent things have happened.
First, I started using iPhoto and syncing photos to my iPad, where before I was just syncing a few photos direct from a Finder folder. Second, was the most recent iTunes update. Note that all of iTunes is slow as soon as I hit sync - it is not the photos portion holding up or their initial optimization. Also, I synced photos after I started using iPhoto successfully a few times before this happened, which makes me lean more towards a problem with the update perhaps?
I am running Lion on a 2008 iMac. Everything is up do date.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advace.

Apparently it's something related to the external HDD (500GB WD MyBook) which stores all of my iTunes music and movies. Everything syncs when I disconnect the HDD. I still haven't solved the problem, but I can at least sync photos/apps/whatever else isn't on the drive, and have eliminated iPhoto as a possible cause.

Repairing permissions after 10.5.8 update extreme oops maybe???

Ok I understand that there is still the issue of Repairing permissions regarding hard code links no big deal. Apple still has not fixed this in this update.
The problem that I have at the moment is understanding why the dbase is not updated properly it appears.
After applying the update to two separate machines both intel based and running Repair permissions through Disk Utility which is what I always do after any os update, there were some very strange oddities that pertains to core files and even after reboots and rechecking seferal times there is no change.
Someone at Apple messed up I think and did not update the permissions dbase during or after the update. I also used the Combo updater versus the smaller regular update as I always do to to avoid some intermittent occasional install problems some tend to see when using the smaller updaters.
Anyone else seeing this and how big of an issue is it to have it show for core files permissiona "should be ?--------- ," ??
Below is an example and is on both an iMac 24" and a MacBook Pro:
Reading permissions database.
Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

Permissions repair complete

Yea it is strange, I did not have the time on the two operating systems to do a proper backup so I can not go back as you did.
I did reapply the delta update though over the top of one of the Combos and although I ended up with less apparently than with the original combo update there were still several.
One thing I did do was to go to the file level of this one which now reads "System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonC ore.framework/Versions/A/_CodeSignature/CodeResources", should be ?--------- , they are ---------
When inspecting that one the in the info window it now shows no more system or wheel and only everyone with the item marked as no access.
Considering that this is within the folder now called "_CodeSignature" and the root folder above this folder which is "A" has a CodeResources file inside it which has all the normal permissions set properly. I am wondering if this is something that was actually moved to this new folder instead of deleted and that the permissions tool may be looking at this file as it would with the parent folder if that makes sense. If this is part of the security updates portion why wouldn't Apple just remove it or is there something else going on that I am missing.
On the other side to note is that all of the files that are giving this error with permissions in the core files are all inside a folder called "_CodeSignature".
This may actually be nothing to worry about as it may be a way for the security patches to work properly to ensure the corrected resources are in place, If so though why are they not getting deleted with the updates as one would expect and why would this keep reappearing constantly and are these files in the "_CodeSignature" folders actually able to be trashed manually if Apple doesn't need them there and if they do then why are they set for no access?
Confusion is a wonderment uh?

Live View Updates Extremely Slow in DW 5.5

I'm having a problem with the Live view update. I'm using the localhost as my testing server. So, network speed shouldn't be an issue. I'm on a Windows 64 bit, 2.2 gHz, Quad Core, 8 GB ram..so it should run relatively well. But, I sometimes have to wait 2 minutes for the screen to update when I change something, turn off LiveView, then turn it back on. You can imagine how this slows down development. Every change takes 2 minutes to see? Yikes! It makes the product almost unusable.
Is there any fix for this?

Last night, I got the solution to this from Adobe tech support -- at least for me. The technician suggested that I update my video card driver.
And also make sure that I had the latest version of Flash player. Apparently, CS5.5 has adopted a new way of previewing files that relys heavily on the video cache and the player, and old drivers are usually the problem.
I did this, and things work much better. Still a bit doggy at times, but I can work with it.
He also suggested that I upgrade to Windows 7. (I'm still using Vista) ANd that I would see a "100% improvement". I like the sound of that. Haven't tried it yet....If anybody does, let me know how it goes.

After effects rendering time is extremely slow

hi,
i am having trouble with rendering in my after effect cs6. i have 8gb ram size on my mac book pro, which is extremely small for effectively ruunign after effects. i was thinking of getting an external hard drive and run the after effects through that instead. What size of should i go for and how do you go about running after effects on an external drive? is there any other way to optimize the perfromance of after effects?

Sound like your disk drive died.
Start in BIOS setup and see if the bios thinks it has a disk. If so then you might be able to recover the OS by starting from the OS installation cd/dvd that came with the system.

After the latest iTunes update, itunes says it syncs but never removes anything.

Is anyone else seeing this issue. I have match turned off to begin. When I sync it syncs in name only. I remove things off the of either itunes or the iPad2 and it syncs right back. I tell it to remove things and they don't go. It is very frustrating because I am using up and running out of space and it is being caused by all thing old stuff I cannot successfully dump. Anyone else seeing anything like this.

Yes. It is strange. When I removed apps for example I would remove and iTunes would say the app is still found do you want to import. Yes and it syncs or no and it removes them. After the last update it no longer does that. I should say that it is completely hit or miss and it almost appears completely random as to what it does. Best example. I had 6 magazines loaded. I removed them in iTunes and it did not remove them off the iPad2. Then I went in and removed them manually and one of them synced itself back to iTunes. Just 1. I checked and I do not have match turned on either.
Makes it feel like delete is a polite request that iTunes may or maybe listen to.

Does anyone know what to do after the IOS 5 update when it wont sync your music or apps or even register with itunes saying device is not connected/ the required file is not found?

My iphone after the update to IOS 5 (which i had problems updating first anyway) wont even register with itunes saying its still half way through a restore when its not i have already restored it 4 times but still wont sync music or apps or finish restoring my phone because it always comes up device is not connected or the required file is not found?
Any ideas?? ive gone the 02 shop and they just said to keep trying to restore it but its really not solving anything.

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

Extremely slow ipod syncing with Music located on a NAS

Hello,
I have been desperate to sync 3000+ MP3 songs located on my Synology ds412+ NAS Server to my ipod touch 5G (32GB) via itunes 11 and USB2.
I use a Sony Vaio laptop with windows 8 x64 and 8gb RAM.
First of all, it was very slow to add the songs folders into itunes's librairy. Itunes's media folder is in a mapped drive of the NAS.
Then prior to syncing, I went to the music tab and selected my own playlists. Itunes could not stop freezing, the blue wheel spinning and so on.
I had to wait several minutes for Itunes to get back to normal.
Finally, I managed to start the sync process. Songs are now beiing copied, but it only did 750 songs in 5 hours. Which means I would still need more than 10 hours to complete the process!
I hope some of you have experience in syncing music stored in a server.
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
Ambientic

I don't believe you can do that. The convert to 128 bit only converts the songs being written to the iPod. Every time you play a song it changes (the play count goes up) so iTunes is going to go try to find those and update them every time it syncs.
I am able to disconnect my external that holds my movies and the movies remain but those are not being converted. I think that is where the problem is.
Good luck!

Preview loading is extremely slow in camera roll

Hi All,
I updated my ipad to 8.1. After that, preview loading is extremely slow in the camera roll. If I try to scroll between the photos in the camera roll, it took 4 to 5 seconds to move from one image to another image. This happens after the my ipad has been updated to 8.1
Is there any solution for this.

Hi erodevarun,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the Photos app is running slowly. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Portable Home Syncing corrupts iPhoto Library

Server setup:
Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2 (clean install)
Everything setup according to spec; works great.
Client setup:
Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (clean install)
iLife '09
Portable syncing rule set to sync the Pictures folder ONLY at login and logout. At no other time is it sync.
Bug:
Everytime it syncs; the entire iPhoto Library gets corrupted and I get a 'There was a problem syncing this file'
When I check the file, the iPhoto Library is a generic white icon with a size of a few megs versus the original 5GB. (yes I have a backup).
Any idea what may be causing this?
I cannot deploy Snow Leopard Server for my clients because of this silly bug.

Hi all.
I'm also having serious problems concerning "Home Syncing".
So far those are my conclusions:
• Home Syncing cannot understand when a file is locked. It will simply replace the "archived" file on the server with a corrupted and incomplete one. (Time Machine, for instance, delays the syncing of that file until it is no longer being used):
• Because of the last problem it's impossible to use the syncing interval on the System Preferences. It's simply begging for havoc and chaos.
• Home Syncing (again on direct opposition to Time Machine) does not understand the concept of bundles (or packages, whatever is the correct expression in English... English that I'm not a native nor a fluent speaker, sorry about that
Not being able to understand those wonderful "folders as a single file" concept makes it try to copy my full Aperture library, even if I just open and close the thing.
So it's guaranteed fun for almost half an hour every time that I do some logout sync.
• Even using only login / logout sync, Aperture library will get eventually corrupted, as will pretty much every other item that I try to sync that happens to be a bundle (That God for 1Password automatically backup of it's own library, otherwise I would have lost all my logins passwords and Software serial numbers).
• Every so often files that were deleted on a machine on the last day, simply find their way back at login syncing.
And the opposite also happens. Changes made in a user folder on one of the machines, simply don't replicate when a user logs in onto another one.
• If a folder or file name is changed, Home Syncing will not understand that as a change.
Instead it will get from the server the old file/folder while keeping the new one.
Since it will copy the full content of the folder, just changing the name back to the old one, you better pray that there's not that much info inside otherwise it's time to grab a coffee and the daily newspaper.
• Copying is slow. Painfully slow!
In a full Gigabit Ethernet connection, whose transfer while using AFP are extremely fast, Home Syncing can take 10x the amount of time to copy a similar folder.
Home Syncing seems pretty much as a 2nd class citizen on the Server package.
It's copy capabilities are way bellow of the expected, showing basic errors that were quickly fixed on Time Machine but that still remain here since (at least) Mac OS X Server 10.5.
I like this concept... actually I like it a lot.
As long as you have access to a Mac OS X Server, you can basically create your own cloud.
Even without having to sync the full home folder, just a specific "cloud" folder (something like a dropbox folder).
That connected with a Time Machine backup to allow you to retrieve older version of a file (whenever necessary) and you would have a great and safe working environment... something that I would love to do, if only Home Syncing wasn't just a big disaster.
Let's hope that Apple can figure out what's happening and release an update to fix this.

After downloading the update ios6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed, After downloading the update iso6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed

After downloading the update for my iPad 3rd gen my iPad is extremely slow. How can this be fixed???

You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
