CS5 text threads super slow in CS5.5?

Hi--
I have really large files from CS5 that I am now trying to work on in 5.5. (They are shelf ID's for items that go on store shelves, if anyone else is doing that kind of work) . In each file, I have rows of UPCs in individual text boxes that are threaded together so that I can copy/paste long lists of UPC code into the boxes. I have this same set up with prices ($X.XX) and position numbers. There are approximate 300 linked boxes per UPCs/Prices/Position# per document.
My problem happens when I have to insert a new box in the middle of the chain of text. My process is:
Break link where I need new box
Select empty box; option click-drag to copy
Direct select/link new box into chain.
PROBLEM: When I link to empty group of linked boxes to the right, I get the spinning wheel of death, sometimes up to 2 minutes! It doesn't matter how many boxes I've inserted and am linking up, when I get to that group of empty linked boxes, it hangs up. It does it with all 3 types of text, so it isn't the text. I also experimented with smaller numbers of linked boxes, and it doesn't hang up with those.
I never had this problem with CS5, and while I could unlink some of the boxes to make the chains smaller, it would be a tremendous PITA and I'm under a major time crunch
Sorry if I'm not using the correct terms for linking/chain/thread, etc.
Any help here would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks-Nita

Thanks for the reply, Doc. I did indeed have preflight enabled (didn't know that stayed "on"), and after turning it off, it has helped somewhat. Still much slower than CS5, but not taking 1-2 minutes to link like it was.
I'm working around for now by splitting the boxes into smaller chains until I've finished inserting scans, then relinking all before inserting text into the threads.
Hate it when "updates" make it harder! Thanks for your help and have a great day.

Breaking text threads in CS5

I am trying to break a text thread and have followed the Adobe Support directions (below). None of them work, at least they don't for me. If I double-click a port, it just creates a new text box threaded to the previous one. Under Type I don't even see any option for Threaded Text. Can someone help please? I end up having to manually copy the text out of the rest of the thread and paste into a next text box and I know there has to be an easier and better way.
Remove or break threads
Select a linked type object.
Do any of the following:
To break the thread between two objects, double-click the port on either end of the thread. The text flows into the first object.
To release an object from a text thread, choose Type > Threaded Text > Release Selection. The text flows into the next object.
To remove all threads, choose Type > Threaded Text > Remove Threading. The text stays in place.

IMac 27" 3.06GHz 240GB SSD / 2TB WD Black Caviar 16GB SUPER SLOW

Hi Apple or other fellow Apple Users,
I have the iMac 27" 3.06GHz and was on Snow Leopard. Was amazingly snappy and fast but I wanted more.
Upgraded RAM to 16GB and soon the 1TB filled up and was slowing me down.
I took out the optical drive and installed a Runcore 240GB 2.5" SSD with a Caddy holding the drive using the optical bay's connection (with an adapter of course)
Replaced the 1TB with a WD 2TB Black Caviar as my Data drive.
Freshly installed OSX Lion on the 240GB SSD and then moved the Users document folders linked to the 2TB drive. Apps are installed on the 240GB SSD and Trim support is switched "on". Ran fine (but not super fast like it should) for awhile but now after some usage, it slows down to the point where typing letters takes about 10 seconds to come out, spining wheel appears virtually everywhere, Flash pages loadings are extremely laggy.
I am a photographer and use Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop CS5 and a load of other graphic applications. They run quite slow after about 1 hr of usage and then to the point where it's unbearable.
Usually speeds back up after reboot, but then super slow again after some usage.
I believe it has something to do with the Fans that after SSD installtions, causes them to run constantly, so the iMac is constantly cool around 36 degrees and hottest at 41 degrees.
Done Repaired permissions, rebooted to safe mode and have plenty of hd space. Updated everything and OSX 10.7.2
Any ideas how to speed it back up?
Thanks

How did you manage to get the SSD and the 2TB drive in your new Imac? OWC said you couldn't update those internal parts. I am too looking to get an Imac 27" but I want to add my own SSD and 2TB drive similar to what you did. did you buy the imac with this set up already from apple? do you have to get the SSD/Harddrive combo from apple to have the parts needed for the replacement? thanks in advance.

Mail App sending mail super slow.. ??

I am trying to send mail using my @me account and it sending super slow even for small text. as a test i just wrote test and sent and it was a couple minutes to send. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have restarted mail several times and restarted my macbook..
went to gmail to test and sent to my mac address and was instant. but all outgoings from mail app are like syrup
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Having a bit of a meltdown at the moment and would love my mac not to fail me at the worst time as well.....aarrggghh

An issue with DNS can arise when sending via the SMTP, and it will likely be different for different ISPs. To confirm this is the problem, please prepare two new messages for sending, before sending either of them. Then click to send the first one, and as soon as you hear the swoosh that it has gone out, click to send the second one. If the second goes out almost instantaneously, then it is correctable with a change in DNS.
Two citations, different approaches, but really both addressing DNS:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9641256&#9641256
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8974547&#8974547
This happened for many people with the beginning of Mail 3 in Leopard, but some may only experience in Snow Leopard and Mail 4.x.
Two recent experiences people had can be found at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11962726&#11962726
and
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12099641#12099641
I am not sure how to advise you in New Zealand, but your ISP should be able to provide you with explicit DNS addresses to enter. This not impact webmail sending, btw.
Keep us posted.

Lion is super slow! Should I reinstall?

Hi,
I have a 13” MacBook Pro that has a 2.7GHz i7 processor and 4GB of RAM. I bought this June at it came pre-installed with OS X Snow Leopard. In July, I upgraded to Lion and initially, my computer just had the spinning beach ball a lot more, but a day or two later, my computer seemed like it was running as normal (I’m assuming this was due to Spotlight indexing everything).
However, of late I’ve noticed my computer is SUPER slow! I first noticed the lag in processing speed when it took five minutes to transfer 1GB to a USB flash drive. (I then transferred the files to a Windows PC and back onto the same flash drive and the entire process occurred in under a minute).It takes over two minutes to start up and anywhere between ten seconds to a minute to open a regular application (i.e. iTunes, iPhoto, Firefox, etc). And my laptop heats up a lot faster these days too!
I’ve looked around the discussion forum and tried all the suggested solutions i.e. resetting the PRAM and the SMC, verifying and repairing the disk/permissions (including the one where you have to go through the recovery partition). But nothing has helped. If anything, it's getting worse! Every time I open disk utility now it says it’ll take 4 hours to verify the disk permissions! AHHH. And it’s not like my laptop is filled with useless files, either; my hard drive capacity is 500GB and it still has 372.7GB available. Oh, and I don’t have a virus either because I’ve run the Sophos anti-virus scan three times.
Normally, I’d have taken my laptop to the Apple Store and asked them to figure it out, but I’m currently in the Philippines and they only have Apple Resellers and fake Apple Stores here. I realise it sounds ridiculous but I’m deathly afraid they are either going to kill my MBP altogether or steal my parts.
I was wondering should I completely re-install Lion? If so, how exactly would I go about doing that? I do have a Time Machine back-up of everything on my 1TB external drive, but I don’t have any back-ups prior to getting Lion because I purchased my external later. Also, if I were to re-install Lion and restore from my Time Machine back-up would all my applications still work? I have Microsoft Office 201, Adobe Pro, Photoshop, etc. and if they get uninstalled, I don’t have any of my installation CDs here!
I’d appreciate any help! If you have any ideas, comments, suggestions, anything – shoot me a response. Thank you!

Try to find out what is causing the loss of performance by starting the "Activity Monitor" (from Applications -> Utilities) and sort the processes according to real memory usage or CPU time by clicking at the column headers.
Also have a look at the free Disk space.
According to Apple the minimum hardware requirements for Lion are 2GB of RAM, but I found that not to be sufficient with the Applications I like to be running at the same time. For my workflow I needed 4 GB RAM when on SL, and with Lion I needed 8GB of RAM. The Activity monitor will tell you if you need to upgrade your RAM.
The second bottleneck with Lion is free disk space. Lion will run much more smoothly if you keep a least 10% (and a minimum of 20 GB) of your disk free.
If you find that you do need more RAM, but don't want to upgrade right now, look at the "Activity monitor" to find out which of your processes are fighting for memory and try to avoid running those together at the same time. I found that quite often Safari was eating the available memory and quitting Safari when I did not really need it did help a lot.

Wireless on My New MBP super slow

Hi everyone, I just bought a shiny new 15" Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2, love it except my wireless is super slow when using it on my home network. I know I'm not the first to complain of this and that there are plenty of other threads about it, but I've tried some of the solutions on those thread to no avail. So I'm starting my own, can someone please help, I'm dangerously close to doing something irrational to my MBP. Ok here's a breakdown of my problem:
-I'm using a Belkin pre N1 router.
-I pay for 10mbs but I'm getting .5mbs using Airport but if I plug in the ethernet I achieve around 9mbs
-Airport shows a full signal
-My old IMac runs like a stallion on my network using Airport, so does my roommates Vista machine both getting around 8.5mbs
-I've made sure my IMac's and Macbook Pro settings are the same
-I've tried using an open dns, didn't work
-I've change my router from using a WEP to using a WPA, didn't work
-I've tried changing the broadcast signal from 11N/G to just 11N to 11N/G/B to 11G/B to 11B back to 11N/G, when I broadcasted just N wireless speed jump all the way up to 8mbs hooraay!!! until I quit safari and opened it again wireless speed went back to .5mps
-I've tried using every wireless channel 1-11 plus Auto, Again wireless speed jump all the way up to 8mbs hooraay!!! until I quit safari and opened it again wireless speed went back to .5mps
-I've tried doing a special little dance in front of it, didn't work except to make me ready to drop it like its hot this Saturday!!!
Nothing seems to work. I'm making a Apple genus appointment tomorrow but I have a sneaky feeling that it will be fine on their network and they'll tell me it's belkins problem. Which could be the case but why would my IMac and Vista computers work flawless and not my new MacBook. Please, please, please help. Theres plenty of praise for whomever can solve my problem and I can praise like no other. Thanks
-Jerry-

yup, same here. Brand new, Core i7 Macbook Pro, and my 13" White Core Duo (not even C2D) Macbook kicks its a** on Airport. What's up with that????
I've tried all the previous "fixes" I could find -- wipe and re-install, delete and replace AirPort entry in Network panel, new Location in Network panel, and so on. This is pretty bad... I haven't tried different DNS yet, but I don't see why the DNS should make any difference when my Mac Pro and the old Macbook seem fine with the servers from my ISP.

All of a sudden SUPER SLOW!!! Why?

For no apparent reason my Powerbook G4 1.5ghz with 1.5gb RAM just started doing EVERYTHING super slow. Annoyingly slow. Clicking on the bookmarks menu in Safari took 10 seconds for the color wheel to stop spinning and to display the small to medium sized list of book marks. I just restarted and zapped the PRAM and tried to log in, and typing in my password took at least 5 seconds to acknowledge that I had even typed in the first 2 characters of my password.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
I zapped the PRAM, did a disk utility verify and it was good. I checked the activity monitor and nothing out of the ordinary...
The only thing I've done differently is downloaded and installed Google Earth, which, if that is the source, I'd gladly remove it. Is there a way to uninstall a program so there are no lingering files?
I have the higher RPM drive, 80gb and it's 1.5gb away from full, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Please help... This $2600 computer is far too young to be replaced.
Scott

Hi Scott --
Sorry to hear about that. Seems from a MacFixIt article linked to on Applejack's home page (written byu Dan FDrakes) that Applejack is a pretty powerful program, that has both serious pros and cons: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=2005041817191411
I found a MacFixIt discussion thread that appears to outline the steps needed to delete Applejack from one's computer -- they reference the readme that accompanies Applejack.
Of course, these steps may not be of use to you can't start your machine properly. ;-(
Maybe you could try starting your machine in Safe Mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 ; http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393 Then, perhaps you'd be able to delete Applejack and restart your machine properly.
All of which, if successful, will bring you back to where you started, which (imo) is when you need to begin freeing up some hard drive space.
Well, hopefully Apple's phone support will help you recover your system. I would, of course, try all of their suggestions first.
Please post back how everything turns out.
Good luck.

This happened a year or so ago, but I can't remember what I/we did to get it moving again.
The moving ball takes ages.

Support Site Super Slow?

I was attributing it to the release of Lion and maybe just getting tons more people... but that seems to have settled somewhat. Also, considering the nature of the support site (being pretty much just text), I would expect it could handle quite a bit of activity. It has just been super slow. At times I'll get the yellow "post-it" message saying they're updating the site after a long delay, then a refresh brings it up. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm having the same issue at home and work.

Tony,
Wow, it sounds like you have had a string of bad luck on this. Very sorry to hear that!
We are migrating to a new support site platform - mobile and Idea products have already moved, and the Think products will migrate and everything should be complete by August 11th (current target). The URL will be the same, and all the "moving" banners should be cleaned up then.
Hopefully, on the other side, we will have much faster / stable support site experience for all our customers. We DO want you to be able to use the support site and to have a good experience there!
Sorry about the delay and the part damaged in shipping that added to it. Hopefully, service will sortly get this resolved for you. If you feel this is still stuck in a couple days, please let me know and we'll try to arrange additional help.
Best regards,
Mark

Ideapad G560 running super slow

Hi,
I have a 3 years old Ideapad G560 with
4GB RAM,
1GB Nvidea
500GB HDD (WD 5400 RPM),
Intel core I3 processor.
It was working fine until once the HDD was crashed. I somehow manage to recover it by deleting all drives.
Now I have installed Windows 7 pro, but the problem is it is running super slow. Especially when I try to open any program.
I think I need to replace the HDD. I am thinking to get SSD rather.
Please suggest which is better, I really need a high performing one.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

please, see the documentation below for supported devices:

ps: please, mark the thread as solved if it is.

Original iPhone super slow on Wifi

Is this an upgrade problem? I thought it was because I moved to Europe and it was related to to that, but I did a search and noticed many people have same issues. My wifi is super slow on the internet, and even on loading mail, or sending: I couldn't get an pure text email out on wifi! What the ****? Any solutions? Tnxs!

I second this... everything was working fine on my home wifi. I had a iphone 4 and a 3g running without issue. Then I upgraded my wife's 3g to a 4 and now the wifi is slower than cellular data. for a while i couldn't even get on my wifi, after manually setting the wifi settings i was able but alot of apps just hang.
thoughts anyone?

IMac super slow

In the last few weeks my iMac has become super slow. Lots of spinning beach balls. Reinstalled Mavericks. Used Disk Utilities to verify and repair permission and verify disk. OnyX to clean up some issues. Minimized start Login items. Cleaned up old apps I wasn't using. Emptied Trash. Only one item on Dashboard.
Installed Etrecheck and have included the output. I'm hoping someone can help me out, before I do a clean install.

Apple IMac running super slow

Help here would be sincerely appreciated,
My IMac is taking more around anhour to boot up with grey apple logo and spinning cog on screen, then finally booted is super slow (maybe 10mins to open an app....even typing has a 5 second lag before text appears)
I can hear a repetitive every 5 second ticking sound from hard drive
I tried verify disc and that seemed ok repair disc permissions found issues that it solved - sorry I didn't make a note of what it moved and sorted.
Is there a way to see if Ram rather than Hard drive is an issue or other suggestions?
My baby what's happened?
Thanks in advance
Dave, Lincolnshire UK

Dave ...
Checked to see how much space is available ??
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

Super Slow Mail 2.1.1

My connection to the web is cable modem and I can pull up web pages fast but opening a new message in Mail is super slow (30 seconds plus) even if it is just a plain text email.
First I thought it was the size of my in box but as I clean it out, nothing changes.
Any suggestions?

Hi Gregory,
I don't have any other solution at this moment ... to speed up your Mail ...
Check you in an out mail box an trash anything that is huge in Mb's for receiving an out going mail ...
I do it all the time ... it has no use to keep older messages that you read ore response to, I'm sure that you have multiple copy's of the same messages.
Post back with the results ...
