All files taking a very long time to open - PS CS3

No matter the file size or the file location (network or local) it consistantly takes 30 seconds or longer to open in PS CS3. This problem is new, the past week or so. No hardware or software changes have occured that I'm aware of that would have kick started the problem.
Others in the office that have similar system configurations and PS Performance settings and do not have this issue.
Another side note,  I also have CS4 installed on this machine and the problem does not exist there
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Matt

Have you tried installing a generic printer driver as default?
This is a known bug and has been reported many times in the forum.
The solution, weird as it sounds, is to make a generic printer driver your default printer.
If you don't have one, download it here:

  • Illustrator CC is taking a very long time to open and save files.

    I am using a Mac with the Mavericks OS. Illustrator can take up to FIVE MINUTES to open or save a file. It is becoming a waste of time as I have to work on multiple projects a day. I read about "Adobe Drive" but have not found this option on the version of Illustrator that I have.
    Please help!

    Any update?
    I found this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5839180 but have been unable to locate Adobe Drive on my system.
    I have followed the above suggestions with no avail. I have only been opening files from my desktop. This issue is only with Illustrator, Photoshop works fine.
    I ran a script yesterday that opens up eps files and saves them as a png, and what normally takes around 30 seconds took almost 45 minutes. I need to solve this problem asap.
    Would uninstalling and reinstalling the CC suite be of any benifit?

  • Firefox is now taking a very long time to open. laptop/xp

    too long to open

    My library is just over 40,000 images and works fine in Lion running on a 1.1 Mac Pro workstation.
    Try rebuilding the library and see if that helps. You should also run a permission repair after installing new software.

  • Is there any way to connect time capsule to a MacBook Pro directly via USB. I have a large amount of data that I want to back up and it is taking a very long time (35GB is taking 3 hrs, I have 2TB if files in total)...)?

    Perhaps via USB. I have a large amount of data that I want to back up and it is taking a very long time (35GB is taking 3 hrs, I have 2TB if files in total)...? I want to use TimeCapsule as back-up for an archive which is curently stored on a 2 TB WESC HD. 

    No, you cannot backup via direct usb connection..
    But gigabit ethernet is much faster anyway.. are you connected directly by ethernet?
    Is the drive you are backing up from plugged into the TC? That will slow it down something chronic.. plug that drive in by its fastest connection method.. WESC sorry I have no idea. If ethernet use that.. otherwise USB direct to the computer.. always think what way the files come and go.. but since you are copying from the computer everything has to go that way.. it makes things slower if they go over the same cable.. if you catch the drift.

  • Downloads of zip and other files are taking a very long time.

    Prior to this week, downloads of zip files and other types of files were pretty fast; however, downloads are suddenly taking a very long time (i.e. 30 minutes to download an album's worth of music files). It's possible that I may have deleted something that was necessary to download files quickly, but I'm not sure. Can anyone provide suggestions on how to get my download groove back? Thanks!

    Hi beaubeck,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Resetting the modem/router and trying with an ethernet cable (wired) vs. wireless would be two good troubleshooting steps.  More details are included in the article below:

  • Notebook Taking a very long time to power off

    Hi All,
    My notebook (HP ENVY 17-j005tx Notebook) when shutting down only takes a couple of seconds, however it can take upto 5 minutes to power off...
    At first i thought some service or program was taking a long time to shutdown, I installed Windows 8.1 SDK Performance Toolkit to try and identify a culprit; ran the command "xbootmgr -trace shutdown -traceFlags BASE+DIAG+LATENCY -noPrepReboot" and succeffully generated trace file.
    I noticed the notbook had rebooted in just a few seconds..
    Anyhow I proceeded to analyse the trace file using the wpa.exe program anf could not find any program or service taking much time to shutdown!!!
    SO I understand now the Windows OS is shutting down nicely though the Notebook is taking a very long time to power off.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  I do have NVIDIA Driver 337.88 installed and did find another thread here where they suspected this driver version has not been tested by HP and after they applied it their notebook shutdown slower than usual - is this somehting maybe to look at...
    I'm currently downoading sp63414.exe NVIDIA driver for my notebook - should I uninstall my current driver and apply HP's?

    Thanks visruth,..
    What I tried is run "msconfig" and boot into "safe mode", rebooted then shutdown, shutdown was back to normal again.
    So then reran "msconfig" disabled all non-Microsoft Services, shutdown and again all powered off as normal (quickly after shutdown).
    So rebooted and re-enabled all services again using "msconfig".  THen disabled the following services, choosing these specifically as I'm not so sure why they should be running and some not know what they are used for...
    rebooted and then shutdown and all shutdown and power off was normal...
    It seems one of these services is causing the power off to take several minutes....
    I suspect the bluetooth services, or the GSService, or IconMan_R, or possibly the Netgear Genie...
    Funny enough I did uninstall netgear genie a few weeks ago and see for some unknown reason the Service is still there???? Hmm...

  • I just got an iPhone 5 32GB and i have backed up my old 3GS 32GB via itunes (20GB of data on there) and it is taking a very long time to restore to my iPhone5. Its taken more than 20 hours and says 12 hours remaining. The text "Time remaining" flickers.

    I just got an iPhone 5 32GB and i have backed up my old 3GS 32GB via itunes (20GB of data on there) and it is taking a very long time to restore to my iPhone5. Its taken more than 20 hours and didnt complete.
    The text "Time remaining ... hours" flickers.
    I set it to start restoring from the 3GS backup yesterday at 1pm and the time remaining kept on increasing. I left it overnight and at 9am this morning the progress bar hadnt moved and it said 12 hours remaining.
    I don't know why its taking so long. I unplugged it and it just set up as new phone. So i did a factory reset and tried again at 4pm and it is now 12am and it says 4 hours remaining and my computer occasionally flickers. (Its not a bad computer, 2 months old, i7, 6GB RAM, Heaps of HDD space). It also messes with google chrome and i cannot browse the web at all while it is trying to restore my iphone.
    I have tried restarting my laptop and should i reinstall itunes? I simply dont see why it should take longer than 20 hours to copy over 20GB of data!
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you

    I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

  • TDMS Shell - DB Export from source/sender system taking a VERY long time

    We're trying to build a TDMS Receiver system using the TDMS Shell technique. We've run into a situation wherein the initial  DB Export from source/sender system is taking a VERY long time.
    We are on ECC 6.0, running on AIX 6.1 and DB UDB v9.7. We're executing the DB export from sapinst, per instructions. Our DB export parallelizes, then the parallel processes one by one whittle away to just one remaining, and there we find out that the export is at that point single-threaded, and exporting table BSIS.
    BSIS is an FI transactional data table. We're wondering why is the DB export trying to get BSIS and its contents out??? Isn't the DB export in TDMS Shell technique only supposed to get SAP essential only config and master data, and NOT transactional data?
    Our BSIS table is nearly 700 GB in size by itself.  That export has been running for nearly a week now, with no end in site.
    What are we doing wrong? We suspect we may have missed something, but really don't think we do. We also suspect that the EXCLUSION table in the TDMS Shell technique may be the KEY to this whole thing. It's supposed to automatically exclude very large tables, but in this case, it most certainly missed out in excluding BSIS for some reason.
    Anyway, we're probably going to fire up an OSS Message with SAP Support to help us address this perplexing issue. Just thought we'd throw it out there to the board to see if anyone else somewhere has run into similar circumstances and challenges.  In the meantime, any feedback and/or advice would be dearly appreciated. Cheers,

    Hello
    Dont be bothered by the other TPL file DDLDB6_LRG.TPL, we are only concerned with DDLDB6.TPl.
    Answer following questions to help me analyze the situation -
    1) What is the current size of export dump
    2) Since when is the exports running
    3) What is the size of the source DB? Do you have huge amount of custom developments?
    4) Did you try to use table splitting?
    5) Do you doubt that there may be other transaction tables (like BSIS) which have been exported completely?
    6) Did you update the SAP Kernel of your source system to latest version before starting the Shell package?
    7) Were the DB statistics update during the shell or were they already updated before starting Shell?
    8) Is your system a distributed system i.e. Central instance and Database instance are on different application servers?

  • Calculations on new server is taking a very long time

    Hello,
    We are upgrading from a 9.2 to 9.3 system. The 9.3 system is on completely different servers than the 9.2 system. We have migrated a couple of applications and the calcs on the 9.3 system are taking a very long time. For instance a calc that we ran on the 9.2 system that used to take 1 hour now takes 7. Also, on a different application a calc that used to take 15 minutes now takes an hour. The applications that we put on 9.3 are identical to the application on 9.2 (we used the migration utility). Additionally, I have ensured that the essbase.cfg files have the same cache settings. What else can we do to get the performance on the 9.3 system to be equal to if not better than the 9.2 system?
    I appreciate any help.

    I would recommend that you run perfmon.exe (if using Windows) to look at the CPU and Disk I/O utilization.
    On a well tuned system, you will see a "toggling" of max CPU and max I/O as each keeps the other busy and takes relatively small breaks in activity.
    My suspicion is that the I/O is the bottleneck on the new system, maybe it's using an external array that is shared, perhaps? If this is the case, the CPU utilization will be relatively low and the I/O will be relatively high (if you are familiar with the concept of duty cycle, the I/O duty cycle will be well more than 50% if it's the bottleneck, much less than 50% if the CPU is the bottleneck, and about even if they are well balanced).
    The other major possibility (aside from weak disk configurations) are that a raid drive is in fault mode and the controller is rebuilding the set. The other possibilities are more like fringe cases compared to these two.

  • IPad battery taking a very long time (2 days) to charge

    The battery on my iPad 3 has started taking a very long time to charge.  If I leave it plugged in overnight (about 8-10 hours) it will gain about 20-30%.  It takes about 2 full days to charge fully.  I am using the supplied 12W adapter plugged into the wall and I've tried charging it while the iPad is turned off in case something was running and draining the battery but it didn't make much difference.
    I assume the battery has just got to a point where it's getting old (although it still lasts a reasonable amount of time once it is charged) but is there anything I can do (short of getting the battery replaced) to help improve the charging time.

    I am having the exact same problem. I am using Pages '09 on my Mac. When I emailed myself a Pages file and attempted to open it on my iPad 2 (running iOS 5 beta), it switched over to the Pages app and then the white bar stopped at around what looked to be 3-4% complete.
    I tried uploading to Dropbox first, then importing to Pages from there, but I get the exact same result. Please help.

    It's about a 2.5G file. How fast is your connection? There should be a progress bar in the App Store next to the app. You should also see a progress bar on your computer, depending on the OS.
