Delay in opening files

One thing I have noticed since upgrading to Tiger is how slow it is initially opening/saving files from within any application. In Panther this was not the case. When i open any application in Tiger and want to open a file from within the application, the first time takes about 10-20 seconds for the action to happen. After that, opening/ saving files is almost instantaneous.
Is there a way to spped this up or is this a known problem with Tiger?
I have noticed on more than one machine.

Going back to my earlier post up above; I have my iDisk mounted as a local copy on my iMac and PowerBook and would not want it any other way - I find it very useful for sharing certain files efficiently between the two machines and having it locally mounted means I can actually open and work on the files in situ without down/uploading them first.
I ran the the fsck routine outlined above on both computers and now the open/save dialogs do open much quicker, even with the iDisk in place. Initial wait time is about 5 secs, down from up to a minute previously (I have a 2GB iDisk, I presume wait times might be smaller for a 1GB).
A simple procedure worth trying if you don't want to curb the functionality built in to your OS.

    Hello Bulko,
    It may be that there is an issue with your hard drive. Running Disk Utility's Verify Disk (and Repair Disk as necessary) can help resolve many such issues.

  • Photoshop CS5 - what is causing major delay when opening files?

    New laptop running windows 7, 64 bit machine, i5 intel core processor, NVIDIA NVS 3100M graphics card. When I open new pictures in photoshop there is a significant delay - the pointer just sits for several seconds seeming to 'look' for files, then the round (new hourglass in 7) rotates forever!  I timed this new machine with a 7 year old Dell Latitute running CS1 photoshop - opened 11 photos from each hard drive...the 7 year old computer opened them in 15 seconds, the NEW machine took 80 seconds. I'm not trying to do anything fance with Photoshop, just simple photo corrections, so I don't need a fancy graphics card. WHY is it taking so long to open files - I've changed every setting Adobe recommends and nothing helps.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    here's the log - i just opened photoshop - i didn't open any photos before copying the log.

  • Slow downloads of small files and delays in opening file

    I've been using FF4 since the betas, but when the RC was installed, I started having trouble with downloads. If I click a file to download (e.g a PDF) and select "open with", the download takes several seconds to start, up to 10 seconds to complete (for a 150 kB PDF on a 12 Mbps connection), and then there's a 10-15 second delay before the file opens in Preview.

    For whatever reason, this problem is solved by disabling the Downloads window.
    * Firefox -> Preferences
    * -> "General" tab
    * Uncheck "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file"

  • Mavericks: Delay in opening files after restart or sleep.

    Hi,
    I have an Early 2003 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and SSD Drive. I installed Mavericks from scratch twice and this problem persists.
    After my machine goes to sleep or rebooted, when opening MACINTOSH HD, it takes about 15 seconds to show the files within that folder. That delay is really starting to annoy me and I have done a restore from factory twice and the problem persists.
    Is this happening to you? How do I fix it?

    Hi TBA1959
    If you want to fix your problems you need to start a new Discussion.
    The OP has an Early 2003 MacBook Pro. No one knows what that is.

  • Delay while opening files

    Hi all,
    when I open a java file or any text file more than 100 lines of code
    it is getting delayed for 5 seconds. when I open small files it is not a problem.
    what will be the problem? could anyone can advice my what will be the probelm in the following file?
    I put my code here:
    private void readFile(String path)throws Exception{
              StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
              if(path!= null){
                   File file = new File(path);
                   if(file != null){
                        FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);                    
                        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
                        String readLine = null ;
                        while((readLine=br.readLine())!=null){
                             sb .append(readLine);
                             sb.append("\n");
                             textPane().setText(sb.toString());
                        br.close();
         }

    >
    I added your suggestion i put textPane().setText(sb.toString()); so now it reduced to two seconds. But still two seconds letme try to avoide those two seconds..>You might try:
    1) Always posting code delimited by the 'code' tags. To do this, select the code and press the CODE button above the text area. This makes code easier to read, and easier to understand.
    2) Moving the call setText() outside the read loop. That is not the way to update a JTextArea (or JTextPane ..or whatever it is being used).
    If that does not work for you, I suggest
    3) Posting an SSCCE.
    4) Adding Duke stars (never hurts).

  • Weird delays opening files related to Mobile Documents folder

    This is a very weird situation. With iCloud enabled, I get a weird delay when opening files.
    What happens:
    I open basically any sort of file (word, pages, zip file, etc).
    I will get the spinning beachball for 5-10 seconds and cannot interact with the program in any way.
    The following appears in the System Log:
    10/23/11 8:39:41.312 PM librariand: changing log level to 5

    In addition, each time this happens it seems to create an additional "Mobile Documents" folder in ~/Library/, see below:
    Mobile Documents
    Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/39/41 2011
    Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/39/41 2011
    Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/40/38 2011
    Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/49/10 2011
    Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/49/10 2011
    This issue occurs whether or not I have "Documents & Data" selected for sync in iCloud preferences.
    Interestingly enough, if I immediately open another file after this occurs, the issue does not happen again right away. However, if I wait about two minutes and open one, it does occur every time.
    (Note: My acount name and email address have been replaced with "username" but the log is otherwise unaltered)

    I have the exact same problem.  It's been driving me crazy ever since I "upgraded" to Lion.  I finally traced it to iCloud and the Mobile Documents folder using Console, which lead me here.
    Any time I launch Pages, QuickTime, or TextEdit (TextEdit, really?), the first file I try to open gives me the spinning beachball of death for about 10 seconds before I can do anything.
    I did numerous searches regarding the spinning beach ball of death in relation to those apps and found nothing germaine before I specifically searched for "collection does not match configured AppleID." This makes me think that a lot of other people are having this problem who just haven't discovered this thread.
    I will try disabling "Documents & Data" but an actual fix would be greatly appreciated.  "It just works" has not applied to many aspects of iCloud.  I thought MobileMe had its issues, but iCloud is a mess in my personal experience, well beyond this issue.  I appreciate the potential and am clinging to some faith in Apple, but Lion and iCloud have been REALLY testing my patience.  Snow Leopard was a rock.  This all seems like beta software hastily ported from iOS.

  • [SOLVED]Long delay opening files if multiple selection in file chooser

    neok wrote:
    Hi,
    When I try to open several files in an application, (example: Gimp), by multiple selection in the 'open' filechooser, there is a long delay (about 1 sec per file) before the Gimp starts opening image files. During this delay, the disk access LED flashes continuously and iotop indicates that its jbd2 accessing (writing) on the / partition on my SSD drive. This is despite the fact that the image files are on an external USB hard disk and the Gimp would have no reason to write anything on the / partition. Even if it did, the image files are small (50-100 kb) and such a long delay would be out of place.
    The significant thing is that the delay occurs _before_ the Gimp starts opening files. It seems the delay is in the filechooser making a list of the files to be opened. Once the Gimp starts opening files, it finishes quickly.
    This sort of thing happens with other apps that can open several files by multiple selection in a filechooser.
    Any hints please? I am lost here :-(
    The delay is caused by (apparently) GTK which writes to the ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel file, to record all the files that are opened in the multiple selction. Even so, this writing seems too slow, even when opening a large number of files (the ones that I open by multiple selection, by an app that I am working on, are about 10k each, so opening a few hundred should not take the delay I see, about 30 sec).
    Anyhow, I patched the problem eventually by chattr +i ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel to stop the writing. But I would prefer to disable the use of this file by configurtion rather than brute force, if there is such a choice.

    I re-installed and reconfigured Arch so that I now have a fresh, uptodate system. In the process, I found that this problem occurs when I run the Gimp as a normal user. If I run it under sudo, all is well. I am strggling to find out why, but no results so far (have checked file permissions where I thought there may be a problem, but no joy).
    Any hints much appreciated.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro very slow open files over network in Windows 7

    I have installed Acrobat 9 pro on my new PC. It's running Window 7 64bit. I use it for pre-press of high-resolution files for printing. Sometimes the file sizes run into the 100s of MB.The new PC has reasonably high specs, with 6Gb of RAM and a 2.8Ghz Quad core i7 CPU and gigabit networking.
    Opening them when on the local hard disk is reasonably fast. For example a multi-page 400Mb file starts drawing the first page withing 3 seconds. But opening the same file when it's on the server of our gigibit network generates a very long pause. The application locks up and dispays a "not responding" message for 2-3 minutes. The bigger the file, the longer the pause. It doesn't completely crash -- eventually it starts to draw the pages and I can work as normal.
    I used to have Acrobat 9 pro on my old XP PC which was a cheap low-end machine when bought 3 years ago. (has on-board shared RAM graphics card and only 1Gb of RAM). But what grieves me the most, is this slow old machine will open the same 400Mb file off the server so much faster than my expensive new machine. There is no lock up and it begins drawing the first page after only approx 5 seconds.
    The problem doesn't seem to be simply related to slow network speed. I can copy the entire 400Mb file from the server to my hard disk in only 12 seconds. The old PC is actually slightly slower copying to/from the network. If the application was for some reason copying the entire file into memory or to a local cache, this should still only generate an extra 12 second delay -- not 3 whole minutes.
    Adobe Reader 9 doesn't have the problem. I can open the 400Mb file off the network on either my new or old machine within seconds.
    Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't have the problem on an old G5 mac either. It's somewhat slower than my old PC but will begin drawing the first page after a few seconds,
    So what exactly is Acrobat doing for those 2-3 minutes?
    I have already tried:
    1. changing network ports/cables.
    2. disabling anti-virus software
    3. disabling "remote differential compression"
    4. Patching Acrobat 9 to 9.2
    5. Files located on Windows servers and Mac Xserves.
    Not improvements from any of these.

    I think I have isolated the source of this problem. It's the Pitstop Professional 9 plug in. I un-installed this, and everything opens quicker than greased lightning. I re-installed it and it's back to slowsville.
    Unfortunately Pitstop is essential to my workflow.
    Until recently I did my pre-press on a Mac G5 with Acrobat Pro 7 and Pitstop 6.5. I never had this problem with slow file opening. But it seems that the delays would occur when I used the plug-in with large complex files.. So it would open files as fast as you'd expect from an elderly machine. But starting to use Pitstop would result in a prolonged period of staring at a spinning beachball.
    I wonder is there any way to stop the Pitstop plug-in from initializing until it is used? So the plug-in stays inert until you select the tool from from the menus.

  • Excel 2007 Slow Opening File

    We were looking at migrating to Office 2007. To verify compatibility, several key users have loaded Office 2007 on their machines. There seems to be several problems related to opening files in Excel.
    If Excel is open and the user does a File/Open, files will open quickly. However, if the user clicks on a file to open it, it can take up to a minute to open. I found a fix for this on this forum. It is to add "%1" to the end of the Open command line in the defined file types for XLS files. After this worked, I found that also needs it for the New on XLT, Open for XLSX, New on XLTM, and New XLTX files.
    After adding in the above fix I wanted to verify that it worked correctly by recreating the problem so I went in and removed the "%1" from all of the commands. When I tried to open a file, I got an error. So I went back into the File Types and checked the command lines. Now all of the command lines had a %1 at the end of them without the quotation marks. When I would try to delet this %1, it would now allow me to. I could remove it but when I reopened the line, it was back again. If I added the "%1" back to the end of the line it would take that and it would fix the problem again but I was still unable to remove the %1 from the other commands such as New, Print, Save As, etc. I had to Restore my system in order to remove them.
    Further testing on the fix reveals that when I file is opened, it attempts to open the file twice. The first time it opens very quickly and then a minute later it opens the second time. Notice that this is the same delay that was experienced previously. It you open the file and make a change before the minute has elapsed, then you get a message stating that the file is already open and if you open it again you will lose your changes. This is probably due to the Use DDE being selected. But If I turn off DDE, then when I click on the first file, it opens quickly and when I click on the second file, it also opens quickly but if I look at the Task Manager, their are 2 copies of Excel running. If I go to the View tool bar in either copy of Excel and try to view the other window, I can not. So it appears that there physically 2 copies of Excel running. When I went back into the File Types, the Use DDE that I had unselected before is now checked again but the DDE command line is blank.
    Thinking that may this was something that was surely fixed now that it is 2008 and the software is 2007, I looked for updates and found that IT had not run the updates. Loaded the Compatibility Pack and Service Pack 1 and high hopes that this would correct the problems. After loading the updates, I found that the File Types had reverted back to their original form without the "%1". Now I was really excited. Why would they reset user changes unless they fixed something related to them? To my dismay, the slow startup was back. I had to go back and set the "%1" back into all of the proper command lines.
    As of now, my recomendation to IT is to stay as far away from Office 2007 as possible until Microsoft gets their act together.
    By the way...I have tried all of the other recomendations from Microsoft about Excel being slow to start. They make a difference of less than 1 second. They also only make the App start quicker. They are not related to clicking on a file to open it.

    I didn't seem to get much help from this forum but I will pass on the fix that I have found.
    The problem doesn't have anything to do with the %1 fix that everyone is using. All that does is to open the file before Excel is fully started. In particular, before the add-ins are opened.
    You can verify this by changing the command line in the File Types to use a /s parameter which will bypass loading the add-ins.
    What I found was that even though I had removed the Adobe AcrobatMaker add-in, the file PDFMaker.xla was still in the XLSTART folder and was being loaded.
    Since Office now has it's own PDF functionality, this is no longer needed. I did however want to keep Acrobat so that I could print PDFs from other applications and edit PDF files so I wanted to keep it. Just not in Office.
    Here are the steps to remove PDFMaker from Excel.
    Choose Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
    Select Acrobat Professional and click Change/Remove.
    Click Next.
    Select Modify and click Next.
    Expand the Create Adobe PDF menu, then select the Acrobat PDF Maker option, and change the status to "This feature will not be available".
    Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the process and allow Acrobat to remove the PDFMaker component. Note: You need the installation disk to do this.
    After completing this process, it is interesting that it disabled but did not remove the PDFMaker.xla add-in. It is therefore necessary to remove it manually by exploring to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART and manually deleting PDFMaker.xla.
    Now for those of you who have already tried the "%1" fix and found that it causes new problems and doesn't fix things, you may have already found out that when you try to remove the "%1" from the File Type Open command line, something puts it back in as %1 without the quotation marks. This causes errors when you open a document that has spaces in it's path such as unable to open C:\Documents.xlsx, Unable to open And.xlsx, unable to open Settings.xlsx. No matter how hard you try, you cannot remove the %1.
    So here is 2 ways to overcome this.
    You can change the parameter from %1 to "%10". This will work as long as you don't try to open 10 files at the same time.
    Or you can edit your registry and remove the %1. The easiest way I found was to open the registry editor and search for excel.exe" /e %1. Notice that this is the end of the command line. When I found it, I removed the %1. If you edited more than just the Open command for XLS files, you will need to keep searching until you remove all of the changes. This will get you back to where you were before you tried the "%1" fix.
    There may be other add-ins that cause similar problems. Look in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART folder to see what is really getting loaded.

  • Adobe reader x very slow opening files over vpn to samba share

  • Captivate Cannot Open File Error

    VERY simple project is generating error above.
    Menu screen with some buttons linked to F4V files inserted as "slide Videos".  The videos are large files and run in 1024 x 768. It saves properly after  a looong time compressing and will not open. This only happens after I've inserted the slide videos and linked to the buttons.
    The error says " Cannot open file XXXXX. Ensure that file is not open already etc....."
    I've done this a tonne of times before and can't figure out what is happening.

    I'll presume you're using windows, but it should be similar with Mac.
    1) ensure your files are all stored locally.  Saving on network drives will cause some significant delays opening/saving/closing.
    2) look in the folder whre the file is saved and enable viewing hidden files, if it isn't already.  Tools > Folder Options > View > Hidden files and folders > Show hidden files and folders
    3) look for a file names something like ~cp_prj_name_of_project.cptx_lock   If you are confident the file is not open somewhere, delete that _lock file and try to open the project.
    That lock file keeps 2 people from opening the project at once.  Sometimes the _lock file is not cleaned up properly when the project is closed (usually when there's a crash).  Hopefully that fixes it for you.  If not there is a way to try and retrieve the file from backup (if you have backups turned on) or from the cache.
    Any luck?

  • Open file not waiting

    I'm using Open/Create/Replace file to read a one-line string of text from a file. If the file is found, the contents are read, the string is parsed and various parts of it sent to outputs, and the file is deleted. If the file isn't found, nothing happens. Everything works - in fact, it works a little too well.
    If the last Open File attempt failed and the file is then pasted into the datafiles folder, the VI will open, read, and delete the file immediately, regardless of the length of the delay. I don't know if this will be a problem, as the file being read is small and simple, but I'm curious why it's happening.
    I've attached the VI. I was unable to attach the .msg file, as the board does not allow files with the .msg extension to be attached. The contents of the file can be found below. It is a single line.

    Hi Bob,
    to attach any kind of files you can zip them...
    I changed your example! Now it will wait before deleting the file...
    You have to assure dataflow: your existing wait function is independent from file operations and so it cannot assure a delay before delete!
