Dreamweaver CC extremely slow start up

Dreamweaver CC does eventually open, but it stays on the splash screen for about 5 minutes before launching.
I've tried removing the OOBE folders, using the CC Cleaner Tool to remove Dreamweaver and also deleted my saved website/ftp setup inside the program.
Nothing is working, please help!

Reinstalling via the Cleaner Tool is generally a last resort that clears up any possible problem cause by a faulty installation/corruption within the program.
Does your computer meet the minimum requirements to run it?
Adobe Dreamweaver CC for Mac, Windows, PC - Tech specs
If so, after the slow start, does the program work correctly?

  • TS3274 Extremely Slow Starting Up

    I have an iPad 2nd Generation that is extremely slow starting up.  I have made sure that all apps are closed and all software is up to date.  Any ideas?

    Before you do anything else backup your computer.
    Next run Apple Hardware Test 3x back to back in extended mode. If any errors appear this confirms a hardware issue and a repair is necessar. Please post back after running AHD in extended mode 3x back to back.

  • MacBook Pro extremely slow start up, Rainbow wheel of death. HELP!

    Hi there
    My Mac has just suddenly started becoming very slow. Upgraded to Mavericks 2 months ago. Had an issue at first install that was resolved with re-installation.
    Has become very slow to boot, freezing at the Grey Screen with the Apple and spining cog. (Kernel I think?)
    It is also very slow once logged in. Nothing has changed system wise. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'm not too Mac savvy, so the help is very much appreciated. So here's what I've done...
    Had already tried to delete CleanMyMac. So I got EasyFind, and used it to delete/destroy the rest of the files. Did the same for Roxio, Sierra Wireless and Seagate. PaceAp would have been installed with Pro Tools, which is now gone.
    There are several files associated with Sierra, PaceAp and Seagate (.plist & .bom files) that I cannot delete, as I get an error saying that cannot be deleted.
    Tried Verifying and Repairing Disk Permissions - All was OK
    Ran through the Sleep, then Restart, then Shutdown sequence. Noticed no difference.
    Reset P-Ram.
    Reset SMC
    Rebooted again, holding command + R and ran the disk utility.
    First Verified the disk. Got errors:
    Invalid Directory item count
    Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks
    The volume Machintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    So I then ran Repair disk, it ran through and then said:
    The volume Machintosh HD was repaired successfully.
    The battery condition is normal
      Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh):          5420
      Fully Charged:          Yes
      Charging:          No
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5482
      Health Information:
      Cycle Count:          806
      Condition:          Normal
      Battery Installed:          Yes
      Amperage (mA):          0
      Voltage (mV):          12401
    I then rebooted, but nothing has changed. At the moment it boots to the grey screen with the Apple logo and cogwheel. Takes about 10 mins to then go through to log in. Often the fan will start running as if the system is under load.
    When I click login the rainbow wheel pops up and it freezes for a while. Then it eventually loads the home page. Takes another 10 - 20 mins to load everything, the clock and wifi connections in the top right take ages to load.
    It will be extremely slow for another 20 mins or so. Cant open folders or do simple tasks without getting the rainbow wheel. Then after a little while it seems to run OK, but still sluggish.
    There are no programs that are launched on startup, and I close all programs before shutting the system down. I have over 100 GB free space on the harddrive. Yet I notice in the data from EtreCheck, it states there is only 66 Gb.
    Haven't used Time Machine, as my external harddrive is formatted to FAT32, and I have nowhere to store all its contents to reformat it to Mac Extended Journal.  I have backed up all the files from the system that I need.
    So is there anything else I can try? Should I try a full system wipe and reinstallation? If so, how do I go about this?
    I'm assuming unlike PC's, it's not just a simple task to replace the harddrive, if it is failing hardware?
    I'm in rural Australia, so not readily near a Mac Support Shop. But if it is hardware, I'll just have to figure out some way to get to one.
    Here's the updated info from EtreCheck, if its of any use..
    Thanks again everyone the help, muchos gracias!

  • Dreamweaver CS5 - extremely slow performance over VPN

    I work for a company in Ohio but live in Virginia, and I have to use VPN to access our company's network drives.  I am running Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 7, 2GB of RAM, reasonably fast residential internet connection.  Dreamweaver is so slow over VPN!  It takes forever to cache a site, to open, save or close a file, or even just to refresh the document if I leave the window and then come back to it later.  Sometimes it's upwards of 3 to 5 minutes (or more!) of the program hanging while I wait for it to wake up.
    I realize that some of this is affected by the connection speed at the office in Ohio, but is there anything I can do to make DW run faster over VPN?  Copying the files locally is not really an option because a) it would take too long to copy the sites we work on to my computer, b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.

    b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.
    Not really sure about these points.  Personally if I were in your situation I would have a copy of the files locally for editing and then set up a testing server in DW that connects to the VPN for testing and then one remote one to push to the live server.  And are you using subversion with multiple copies of files?  Is that what you are trying to say?  Are there other developers besides yourself?
    And 2GB of ram is not a lot on a Windows 7 machine.  Windows 7 requires 1GB (32-bit) or 2GB (64-bit) out of the box and that's not including your VPN program, Outlook, Anti-Virus, Firewall and any other software you have.  With the price of memory right now and I would personally recommend asking the company to double the memory up to 4GB for smoother DW operation.  I don't believe that will help the internet connection, but it will make editing in DW a little bit easier. 

  • T420s + SSD extremly slow start from hibernate

    Hey folks,
    I recently bought a T420s with 80GB SSD and 320GB HDD.Besides the fan noise issue and the crappy display I am at least really happy with the speed - except the following problem: Whenever I want to rewake the notebook from hibernate it takes extremly long, even longer than a normal windows start up - and longer than my 5 year old sony vaio. When loading it displays the Windows 7 animation, having returned to the desktop screen it works immediatly well.
    I'd be glad if there were any suggestions to solve this problem!
    Thank you!
    Chris

    The hiberfil.sys is a hidden file that is located on the root of your boot drive. I guess that would be C:\hiberfil.sys. If you enter command prompt and type "dir c:\ /a" im sure you will find the file. Or change the settings so Windows explorer will see hidden and system files.
    Using a SSD each NAND cell can be erased a limited number of times before it stops reliably holding charge which means it becomes unusable. So you have a limited number of writes using a SSD before it will die. A lot of people sugguest to not use hibernation when using a SSD to prevent additional writes that will wear out the SSD faster. It's not like the SSD will die in a few months, but it will last longer will less writing. So you might want to consider using hibernate or not. Except from standby or a shutdown there is no other options to hibernate.
    Why it's so slow i don't know and cannot compare since i do have a SSD, but do not use hibernate. How long does it take? Did you do a clean install using the Windows 7 DVD and is the SSD performing fast except for the hibernate?

  • Latest iTunes version: extremely slow start-up

    My set-up:
    - Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    - iTunes 11.1.2 x64
    - large MP3 collection (hundreds of GBs... don't ask how)
    - Moved Music library from C: drive to D: drive
    The combination of Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.2 or either of them, causes iTunes
    to start up very very slow.
    I deleted my iTunes library and started from scratch, but no effect. My iTunes library (under Music) doesn't
    contain the songs, just links to another folder on another drive (fixed harddisk).
    After you start iTunes, you see the memory usage slowly crawling to 250 MB, then it starts and works.
    But it takes 3-4 minutes.
    What's new ?

    Apple just released 11.1.3
    From the release notes:
    This version of iTunes resolves an issue where the equalizer may not work as expected and improves performance when switching views in large iTunes libraries. This update also includes additional minor bug fixes.
    I can confirm that my issue has been solved. iTunes loads after a few seconds and switching view doesn't crash it anymore.

  • Extreme slow start up, even after reinstallation of OS

    My MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) started to take several minutes to start up. The desktop comes up but the menus and dock are completely frozen for 3-5 minutes. All I can do is move around the pointer. After a long long wait, everything is back to normal and the computer works just fine.
    After freeing up space, turning of start-up applications, verifying the disk with Disk utility, SMART Utility etc without improvement (disk ok),  I erased the disk completely and reinstalled OS X (version 10.6.8) from original CD. I had to try this 6 times before installation was successful, it just kept freezing in the middle of the installation so I had to start from the beginning erasing the disk. Finally the installation was successful but the same problem persists with 5 minutes frozen desktop after start-up. After that the computer works perfectly. Anybody had a similar experience?

    Since a brand new, clean OS install is not working right, you should verify there is no hardware issue.
    Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and was included with your computer.

    If yours shipped with 10.6.8 follow the instructions on the link.

  • "Optimizing Movies": Extremely slow start-up

    Hi, this seems to be a common problem, yet no forum on the subject provides a solid answer. When I start iMovie 09, it takes a very long time to open because it is "Optimizing Movies". As I write this, I have been sitting at my macbook for no less than 20 minutes waiting for it to finish, an STILL it's not done! ***? My iMovie events are on a separate drive, but the folder is not set to "locked" as someone suggested in another forum. Please help, Thanks.

    Like you, I keep my Events on an external drive (connected via FireWire 800). I've noticed that iMovie generally only runs the optimize process if I've disconnected then reconnected the drive to my MacBook Pro. As I don't move the MacBook Pro much, I tend to have the drive connected most of the time and therefore don't get the Optimization routine running very often.
    So, if you are disconnecting your drive frequently, this may be the cause of the optimization issue.

  • Issues: extremely slow start up, occasional green fuzzy screen, doesn't always hibernate and overheats

    First off, I should say that I'm not the type of person to shutdown my computer. If anything, I shut it to hiberate. I'm not sure if that's bad pratice or if that's what lead to this over time.. So here's what happens.. Today, I was working away and all of a sudden a fuzzy screen comes up with a little bit of green and then a beeping sound. So I shut it off. This is rare, sometimes the fuzzy screen comes up for a second randomly or when I open my computer from hiberate mode or when I'm just using the computer.
    When I turn my computer on,
    1. sometimes the 'on' button doesn't work and it takes a few tries (however this hasn't happened in the past few weeks. *knock on wood*)
    Once the computer is on the blue screen comes up:
    2. which stays on for anywhere from 5-20 minutes.
    3. Log in appears with the cursor blinking but I actually can't type anything.. It lags behind sometimes another 20 minutes before my password appears and I could log on.
    Checking the message board for similar questions it was recommended that I update the software.
    I've tried to get Mavericks on here but I get an error message when it tries to restart the computer and never does so successfully on its own.
    I've helped it along and was able to attempt at installing it but I waited a least an hour for it to 'find my disks' with no luck I went the disk utility repair route istead of time machine backup which couldn't find my external or anything for that matter.
    The error message I got back was:
    invalid block count It should be 21066078 instead of 21066076. Found corrupt needs to be repaired.
    Any thoughts or advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Below is my EtreCheck.

    Simska,
    regarding the overheating, you can try resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller.
    Regarding the invalid block count, you should boot from your grey Mac OS X Install DVD which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro, run Disk Utility from it (via the Utilities menu in the menu bar), and select Repair Disk for your internal disk.
    After your disk is repaired, exit Disk Utility and restart from your internal disk. When you log in, you should uninstall your installed version of iPhoto Photocast — it was written to work with the Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) SDK, but you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8) installed, so it’s not supported under Snow Leopard. Install in its place an older version of iPhoto Photocast which is compatible with Snow Leopard. You also have an outdated version of Silverlight installed — you can download the most recent version from here.

  • Extremely slow macbook pro performance

    I have a 4GB Macbook Pro 13 inch, less than 1/2 the memory is in use.  Computer startup can take up to 10 minutes, and opening any app can take 1-2 minutes.  Apps are constantly stalling, and Safari is constantly showing the spinning wheel of doom.  It's running OS X 10.9.5.  It's at the point where my iPhone is a much better option that using my Mac.  Any suggestions on speeding it up?  I used to have MacKeeper on it, but the Genius Bar at the Apple store told me the uninstall it, as it often can cause a slow performance. 

    Problem description:
    Extremely slow macbook pro performance.  Slow, stalled applications, extremely slow start up, constantly stalling and slow apps.

  • From one day to another, my MB starts EXTREMELY SLOW

    everything seems to work fine, but from one day to the next one my macbook takes a long time to start, is there anything i can do to fix that? i have 2 gigs of ram so i dont think this should happen at least it didnt like 3 days ago, ive used the onyx program to restart everything i could (meaning cache memory vram and that stuff) any other suggestions?
    thank you in advance

    Hello,
    Using Onyx ™ makes your next startup extremely slow because it erases all of the cached files. Your startup speed will not return to normal until 2~3 startups after using Onyx™. Do you have these issues when you don't use Onyx ™?

  • My lap top is extremly slow. It studders. It kind of sounds like there is a fan inside and it constantly stopping and starting. And, it takes a really long time for it too start up. Whats wrong with it?

    My lap top is extremly slow. It studders. It kind of sounds like there is a fan inside and it constantly stopping and starting. And, it takes a really long time for it too start up. Whats wrong with it?

    Do you have current backups?
    Those symptoms could indicate a failing Hard drive. If it dies, all your documents go with it unless you have Backups.
    I have had very good luck with physical and battery problem diagnosis at the Genius Bar. Those guys put their hands (and their ears) to these machines, all day every day, and they know immediately what all those sounds mean.
    Your appointment for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out.

    2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == approx. 2 days ago

    I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
    This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
    Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 just started running extremely slow

    After recent OS upgrades and general teenager use, the MacBook Pro all the sudden is running extremely slow.  I am not a really technical person, what should I do to fix? I will start backing up now.
    Thank you
    Matt

    You may be able to improve the speed with some software work but it could also be your disk or SSD is corrupt or failing.
    Try resetting PRAM and SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Is it faster now?  If not, proceed.
    Restart in Safe Mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    If it boots faster then uninstall all unnecessary login items >User&Groups>Login items. Unlock the padlock. Remove them with the minus -
    Also uninstall internet plug-ins in your browsers.
    Is it faster now?  If not, proceed.
    Backup your data immediately:
    Before proceeding you should make sure you have a current backup.  If it has been getting slower over time your disk could be a failing slowly.  SATA drives have two retry modes: short and long.  They can continue operating as read errors are increasing.  The long retry cycle is very long and can cause significant performance degradation.  If it has started long retries then it is likely to get worse and eventually fail.  SSDs also have a failure mode where the fail slowly.

    - A clean install.
    After you have backed up your system twice.
      Preferably with one of the backups being a clone.
      Time Machine restores are complex and can sometimes fail.
      You don’t want to risk all your data on one backup as you wipe out the data on your Mac.
    As part of this clean install procedure erase the disk with Security Option Zero
      that writes zeros to all sectors and remaps bad sectors as it does so.
      That is a time consuming operation, but worth it.

    Hardware replacement or upgrade?
    Hopefully by now your Mac is back to its normal speed.  If a hardware repair is indicated take it to an Genius bar at an Apple store for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs.  If it is under warranty or AppleCare they will repair it for free.  If not, you can compare their estimate with DIY repairs.
    Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
    or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
    You can speed it up further by upgrading some hardware. (Do not upgrade the hardware if it is still covered by the warranty or AppleCare.)  For the following memory, disk or SSD replacements and upgrades check out OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/, Crucial: http://www.crucial.com/ and Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/.  You will need to know your Mac the year and season your Mac was first sold and model number which can be found here:
     > About This Mac > More Info… > System Report > Model Identifier:
    If your Mac has 2 or 4 GB of RAM, consider an upgrade to 8 GB (if the memory is upgradeable).  An 8 GB memory upgrade is only $100.  When I upgraded a MacBook from 2 GB o 8 GB it booted thee times faster.
    If your Mac has a disk and it won’t repair properly, is low on disk space, or you just want a considerably faster disk, check out an upgrade to an SSD-Hybrid disk. Google "Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch" or consider an SSD (120 to 480 GB).
    OWC has SSD replacements and upgrades for MacBook Airs and Retina MacBook Pros.
    Good luck.  May the software fixes do the trick.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 is extremely slow to start

    Photoshop Elements 10 is extremely slow to start. It needs three minutes after starting before any sign of the program appears.
    Then another three minutes passes before the program will respond to a mouse click.
    While the program is in use, the display frequently freezes at seemingly random times and is unresponsive for a varying period of time.
    It has always been this way since installation.
    I read in the community forums that starting the Photoshop editor directly with a shortcut will bypass the start screen and eliminate the problem. Tried it--it does not.
    I also in the community forums that the program is trying to connect with photoshop.com which no longer exits. The fix offered was to disconnect from the Internet. This is not acceptable.
    I will not be upgrading to a newer version as a fix (as someone suggested) unless it is offered without additional cost.
    Is there any sort of work around if not an actual fix for this problem?
    Photoshop Elements Version Installed: Photoshop Elements Language Version: 10.0.0 (10.0 (20110831.m.17215))
    All updates are installed as of February 13, 2014
    OS: Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit, Version: 6.1
    Hardware: Dell Optiplex 780
    Intel CPU Family: 6, Model:7
    Processor speed: 2926 MHz
    Built-in memory: 3932 MB
    Free memory: 2072 MB
    Memory available to Photoshop: 3255 MB
    Memory used by Photoshop: 70 %

    Sorry, I guess I should have said "One of the suggestions offered was to disconnect from the Internet." As it happens, that works. Not using the welcome screen does nothing.
    With the Internet connected, Photoshop 10 needs better than 6 minutes to start up and be ready to use. Starting while disconnected from the Internet requires less than 10 seconds.
    This is a work around, but it is not a fix. Temporary and unacceptable.
    Uninstall, reinstall? Been there, done that, too many times.
    I was hoping for something different that would either fix the problem or upgrade a faulty product for users who deserve better.
    After the customer has purchased a product in good faith, what sort of business practice recommends that the user disable a product feature in order to use it?
