Develop sliders respond really slow

Upgraded to LR 4.2 + Update, and the sliders still works very slow.
I have a machine with 8GB + i7 370K + Nvidia 560 Ti + Dell U2711 (27" monitor).
Any Ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
My system is running with 8GB of memory and a core i5 CPU.
Lightroom is installed on an SSD drive and the catalog file is located on the same SSD drive as well.
The SSD drive has a lot of space free (at least 10 GB).
I'm using a Dell U2711 monitor (native resolution 2560x1440).
The most interesting thing is that if I adjust lightroom window size, then the development sliders work very fast.
LR is a non-destructive editor that never writes or changes the original file. PS is a destructive pixel editor that also caches multiple copies of the edited file in memory to speedup "undo" image building. PS4-6 supports Open GL, which uses the graphics processor for processing certain image views (Rotate, 3D, etc.). LR and PS work entirely differently concerning onscreen image building, and LR benefits very little by increasing graphics card performance.
A faster system processor will make LR more responsive with a high resolution display, but simply keeping the Loupe image smaller when adjusting sliders in the Develop module will do the same thing. My system is only slightly higher performance (i7-280, 12GB) and I have no issues. BUT my monitor is 1920 x 1080 (~2Mp) versus 2560 x 1440 (~3.7Mp). Your processor needs to build almost twice (2x) the number of pixels every time you make a change in the Develop module. If my i7 system performance is about 1.5x your i5 system, then screen response time will be almost three times faster ( .3 to .5 Sec. versus 1.0 to 1.5 Sec.).Using dual high resolution displays is even more challenging for LR.
Try making the Develop module side panels as large as possible by dragging the border with your mouse, and perhaps increase the height of the filmstrip. Then use CTRL + SHIFT + F Key to enter and exit full screen mode for a larger image review of your Develop setting changes. On my system this takes about 1.0 sec., so this may not be a time saving option for you (i.e. ~3.0 sec.). Give it a try.

'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

My iphone 3g as nstarted responding really slow takes ages to do anything

my iphone 3g as nstarted responding really slow takes ages to do anything

Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

After the new update the FFox is now 11.0. But it's really SLOW always CRASHES and most of the time is NOT RESPONDING. I have to go to CHROME it is working perfectly.

Hey mooshi20003,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. You might also want to look at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section].
Hopefully this helps!

2010 really slow ~1 min start on test PC -- normal ~1 sec startup on development PC

Okay first my setups
Development PC
I'm running labview 2010 Pro
i7 core, XP SP3
Test PC
2010 runtime
Dual core 2.66GHZ
XP SP3
I'm having a really slow startup on my app on the Test PC. Like almost a minute. It sits there on the taskbar and does not come up. I click on it and nothing happens. I checked task manager and the CPU is at 1% and the app is using about 40MB ram.
I install the exe on the development machine and it comes up within seconds of clicking it? I know I have an i7 competing against a dual core. But when I see 1% I don't see it as a problem. My development PC runs about 4%-10% when the program is running. Maybe 8%-14% on test PC once its up.
The App itself is basically like Intel's UPNP device spy with some automation. All network communication.
Is there anyway to debug this? I know I can add to my app to see what's going on while its running. But what do I do while its starting up?
One other thing, I have is windows IIS installed on the development PC that I was using to send updates to network devices. The Test PC does not have IIS. But my app only checks to see if its running and then moves on. When I turn IIS off on my development PC the app still starts normal.
please help. I'm really not liking 2010 so far. I miss 8.6

Okay so i installed on more machines and they worked fine. Came right up.
So i went back to the test PC and replaced it with a new one, quad core. After the installer was done it asked to reboot for changes. A reboot looked as if the pc was never going to finish. It started to shut down and then would say installing updates and repeat the installing updates part. I turned the pc off and powered back on. That pc took 2minutes to start the app. Finally i connected the internet to the router on the network and the software app started right up.
Is labview embeding some network check? It works like clock work. i unplg the network and it takes forever to start. I plug the network in and it comes right up...
My setup has a routerfor DHCP and a 48 port POE network switch. I do not have the need for internet access. But it looks like im going to be forced to leave it connected to make this start up normal.
p.s. i did unplug the internet while the app was starting and i got some visualstudio.net message error. I dont have visualstudio installed on this pc. Maybe labview runtimes installs it? I did not see it in add/remove programs. This pc is has a fresh xp install with some standard software apps. I'm sure i have .net installed though.
Any ideas? Is labview tracking us secretly Im getting wireshark out tomorrow to see what the network traffic looks like.

Adjustment Brush really, really slow in LR 3.3

Hi,
Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but when I use the adjustment brush with the photo in 1:1 ratio, my computer becomes really, really slow to respond. It becomes so slow, that I have to shut down LR 3.3 and restart. I'm using Windows 7, 64bit with 8GB of memory and my color card is an ATI HD5450 with 1GB of memory. I have my LR3.3 Camera Raw cashe settings at 75GB and on a different internal hard drive. I do not have this problem with LR2.7, which I'm glad I didn't remove. Anyone having this problem and found a solution? LR3.3 has really been a head ache for me. Lots of small, but annoying problems.
Thanks,
Dennis

It is funny what we each think of as "relatively old". Three years since I purchased the PC. It works fine for everything else that I use it for but the change between LR 2 and LR 3 has been quite marked in terms of rendering speed. I would say it is far more than a doubling. If it were only a "little bit" longer I wouldn't mind but this is distinctly annoying. The images are off a 5D MKII so 21MP.
As for keywording as the first one is available that makes an assumption that this issue is at import. Indeed I keyword in bulk at import via metadata preset and typing in keywords so I don't have to touch the images at all until they are ready to review.
Yes import rendering is slow but in this case I am working in develop mode. I had just gone through and done batch white balance adjustments. At that point my practice is to re-render the images before I do fine w/b adjustments and adjustments to exposure and black point, this means that there is less delay between opening an image and it "loading" ready to work on. However the huge delay that it causes is making me re-think this and possibly suffering the "loading" delay instead.
Most of the changes for LR2 to LR3 have been good (the notable exception being slideshow which is no longer useable). This however is not a good change.

You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.laser.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
 Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.laser.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.laser.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/laser
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
 Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
 Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
 Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
B
"ZipCloud" is some sort of cloud-storage service with a doubtful reputation. The OS X client is sometimes distributed along with malware. Although ZipCloud may not be malicious itself, it should be deemed suspect by virtue of the company it keeps.
To remove ZipCloud, start by backing up all data (not with ZipCloud itself, of course.)
Quit the application, if it's running, and drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.autostart.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
 Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Trash.
In the same folder, there may also be a file named
 com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.notify.plist
Move that to the Trash as well.
Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash.
C
The following Safari extensions are malicious and should be removed in the Extensions pane of the Safari preferences window:
 Searchme
Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use those. Never install any extension with the words "Spigot," "Conduit," "Genieo," or "Trovi" in the description.
D
Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
 Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
  ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

My Macbook Pro suddenly became really slow

3 Days ago my Macbook Pro suddenly became really slow. I can't run anything without my computer freezing. I've had my Macbook Pro since mid-2012 (21 months). The first thing i did was check my activity monitor, which said that I was apparently using 4 GB (half) of my Macbook Pro's RAM, even though nothing was running. The process that was using the most RAM was kernal.task, which was only around 600mb of RAM. All the processes RAM amounts only added up to around 1 GB, not four. I can't even open safari without my computer freezing. The amount of RAM being "used" on my computer slowly started to increase, even though nothing was running, until it got to all 8 GB being used. When i restart my computer, it goes back to 4 GB and starts to rise again. My processor, on the other hand, is doing nothing. Its acting normally. How do i get my computer back to its usual performance?
Hardware Specifications
13-inch Mid-2012 Macbook Pro
Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
750 GB HDD
OS X 10.9.2

Since you are using Mavericks OS, the amount of RAM being used is inconsequential but the 'pressure' is. If green is showing then the RAM usage is normal. This is a change fro prior OSX's.
The usual problem will lie with the HDD, It may be too full or needs to be repaired or replaced. Go into OSX recovery and select from the 4 option menu Disk Utility. Choose First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
(Start the MBP with the OPTION key down and select the recovery partition)
If that does not solve the problem, try a safe boot:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
If the MBP responds 'normally' that usually indicates that there is a third part application that is causing the problem. They have to bedeleted and reinstalled in a systematic way so that you can identify the culprit.

I have iMac and need a good photo editing program to use. Reviews say aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?

I need a program where I can remove objects and touch up dead grass, etc.

Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

Hi Victoria,
I have read several of the nVidia tweak notes but they never seem to have the same terminology as the setting that show up when I bring up my nVidia control panel. Here are the global defaults on my system - can you guide me as to which ones I should focus on changing? I have tried many combinations and can't see any significant difference but unsure which ones are really important. I have also customized these combinations such that they are limited to when Lightroom is running but unsure if that feature works or not. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

My macbook pro is running really slow after upgrade to Mavericks

my macbook pro is running really slow after upgrading to Mavericks....any ideas?

OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
The above link is not very useful, so if it doesn't help read on.
There are many potential reasons that a Mac may be running slower than expected, but more information is required to begin troubleshooting, much more.
Back up your documents and everything else important to you before proceeding. It is premature to conclude your hard disk is failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

Really slow internet uploads and images not showing

I have tried "Disk Repair" and also did a "Reset Safari". Internet pages are REALLY slow to load and all images on websites are little blue boxes with a "?" in it. My internet connection is spotless, all this started right after I dowloaded OS X Mavericks. Please help!

For images. With Safari open, if you see Develop in the menu bar top of your screen between Bookmarks and Window click Develop. If Disable Images is checked, click there one time to uncheck.
You can also empty the cache from the Develop menu. Develop > Empty Caches
Then quit and relaunch Safari to test to see if images load and that pages load faster.

IMovie REALLY Slow

I have recently been encountering problems with iMovie. When I import a file into a project in "DV" format. It takes about 75 minutes. I have no problem with that. However, the file that I import is in MPEG-4 format. I realized that I could be saving myself time and disk space by importing the file into an iMovie project in "MPEG-4" format. The file imports fine, but that's where the problems start. Trying to edit the imported file in the "MPEG-4" iMovie project in a nightmare! It takes 30 seconds or more just to split a clip at the video playhead. The playhead will not move smoothly when I drag it using my mouse, whereas it moves smoothly in projects created in "DV" format. When I try to move forward or backward frame-by-frame using the arrow keys, it is really slow to respond. I have plently of free memory and there is no CPU intensive task going on while I am trying to do this. I do not experience any of these problems with iMovie projects in different formats (ex: HDV, DV Widescreen, DV, and iSight). This leads me to believe it's a software issue, but I haven't been able to solve it yet. My post in the iMac forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4171998#4171998
suggests that it's a fragmented HDD that's the problem, but my iMac is just fine. It isn't slow at all. Even iMovie isn't slow when editing in other formats. Only in "MPEG-4" format do I encounter these issues. Any help is appreciated.
Trevor

Yes, it's much larger (in bytes), but DV lends itself to editing, while MPEG (1, 2 and 4) does NOT.
Hi Lennart,
Is this because the compressed formats generally require "on the fly" decompression and recompression to allow editing? (I've been trying to follow up on Trevor's problem and can find quite a few comments on the net indicating that people are having similar problems with slow editing of Mpeg-4 in iMovie, but can't find anywhere with a good explanation of the reasons for it).
Cheers
Rod

Safari has got really slow..

Hi
Over the past few weeks I've noticed Safari (2.0.4) has got really slow at both finding and loading web pages.
I know it's not my connection as when I open the same page in Flock or FF it's really fast.
I've emptied Safari's cache but it's made no difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Roger
Over the past few weeks I've noticed Safari (2.0.4) has got really slow at both finding and loading web pages.
I know it's not my connection as when I open the same page in Flock or FF it's really fast.
I've emptied Safari's cache but it's made no difference.
Here's a list of basics I recommend when Safari slows down:
1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
2. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD/Users/Home/Your_Name/Library/Safari/Icons
* Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
3. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Also the power to support the modem. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
For slow opening, I'd recommend checking your Font Book application for duplicate fonts (the ones with the little bullets next to them). If you find any, select them one at a time, go up to the Edit menu, and click on "Resolve Duplicates.
** I see that you are using a Powerbook. When you shut it down overnights than run MacJanitor. This a special script developed for Powerbook, iBook, Laptop etc ... users.
MacJanitor
This are the easiest things to start with
* Let us know if how every thing went ...
