Dreamweaver slow to save

Hello,
Sometimes Dreamweaver takes forever to save a file, 20-30
seconds or so. Is this normal? Does anyone know of a way to lower
the file save time?
I'm not sure what's causing it. Sometimes I have several
files open, and some of them are large files, say, 3000 lines.
Usually at this point it will start getting sluggish, however,
that's not always the case. Sometimes I'll have many files open and
it will save quickly, and other times it won't.
Thanks for any help.
Peter

What platform PC or Mac ?
are you saving files direct to the server ?
I'm on PC - and if I change many pages - I can use the save
all files
button, and it does it almost instantly.

Excel file very slow to save - but only for one user! Why?

The problem ...
I have an excel spreadsheet that I share with my partner, i.e. another user on my Mac. The file works just fine for me, but is very slow to save when my partner uses it. Save time for me is about 3 seconds, for my partner about 45 seconds. The problem only seems to be with this one file, and the slow save time is driving her nuts! (I'm not able to upload the file as it contains confidential info).
The file is about 225kB with about 6 worksheets and some macros. It’s stored in a folder below the standard OSX ‘shared’ folder. Both users have identical permissions on these folders and this file.
What have I tried already? Re-saving the file in a different place, renaming it, re-creating it by copying the contents to a blank file, repairing permissions on my partner’s user account, copying excel .plist files from my user to hers, deleting her .plist file & creating a new one. None of these have worked.
System details ... 2.8GHz I5 iMac (late 2010 vintage), 8GB memory, OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Excel for Mac 2011 v14.2.3 (auto updates on & all installed I believe)
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

On the problem Mac...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Flash CS5: Slow to save files

Is anyone else finding it very slow to save files in Flash CS5? I've gotten in the habit of saving often, probably from dealing with CS4 being so unstable. It's now habit that I hold down command and hit S then Return every time I test a movie. Yet with CS5, saving a file is no longer immediate. I'm on an 8-core Mac Pro with 12GB RAM, working with a 60MB FLA, and it takes at least 7 seconds to save the file, complete with progress bar. This may not sound like a lot, but if I -- make a change / save the file / test the movie -- and repeat that over and over again, those seconds add up. It's odd because CS4 saved files so fast it didn't need a progress bar and I never noticed a delay.
I suppose one solution is to get over my CS4 fears and not save as often, but I don't quite have that level of confidence yet!
Is this happening to everyone or just me?

Hi Stiv41,
I would say that there might be some case where saving a file in CS5 could take a bit longer, but it really depends what you have inside your file. This is especially true if you import lots of assets inside your document. With the introduction of XFL, we are now importing the asset but also saving a copy of that asset inside the document structure. Having that extra copy could take a bit longer to save, but you have now the ability to share the document along with all the assets, and those assets can be edited very easily.
Note that usually the first save is going to be a little slower, but subsequent saves should be much faster. The first time we need to create the XFL document structure, but on subsequent we try to only save what has changed. Of course sometimes we'll need to resave the entire document depending on what changed.
Also saving as Uncompressed should not make much of a difference at all.
Finally I would say that a 60 meg Fla file is fairly large. I mean if you have 60 megs of drawing that one thing, but 60 megs worth of assets you might want to consider linking them instead. Since you probably want to publish a small swf.
-Valerio.

Textedit slow to save, slow to print

On my iBook, Textedit has recently been very slow to save documents...two to three minutes for a file with only the word "test" typed in it, for instance. The first few times it happened I interrupted the spinning beach ball and force quit the application, but I decided to try to wait it out and discovered that it actually does save consistently, albeit after a long time.
Printing gets the same response.
When I transfer the same file to my iMac, it saves and prints fine.
I have trashed the plist file, but this didn't help. Any ideas?

Distiller keeping a claw on your EPS files? A PostScript printer driver gone bust? Could be anything, even more so on XP64, which never was officially supported by any Adobe app....

Slow to save when working on network

Hey,
I am using Dreamweaver 5.5, and are experiencing very slow save times. From I hit ctrl + s and until the document is saved it took 5-6 seconds on Vista, and 2-3 seconds on Win7. Other developers who are working on the same network and files (and identical machines), but use Eclipse or simply Notepad experience no delay at all.
So, can someone explain to me why Dreamweaver is taking its sweet time to save documents, and what do I do to make it save like it actually should? I code css and html for the most part and therefor do a lot of saving, so this is making my hair turn grey
Regards,
Morten

I am having the same issue.. my work around was to create a duplicate and rename it, then make edits to it. It should save fine. The save as function seems to be the problem.

.gif preview slow in Save for Web

I am having an issue in Save for Web where the .gif animation preview works very slow and choppy. I am an advertising designer and many times I need to work on animated .gif banners. I am working with Photoshop CS6. When I play the animation in the frame timeline the animation speed works as intended, a little choppy but the timing isn't too bad. However when I go into the Save for Web screen and play the animation it always appears a lot slower and looks choppy. Anything se to 0.0 or No Delay runs as if its set to .1 seconds. Now if I export the file and open it in Chrome the animation speed seems to go back to normal. This wasn't always the case, I tested this 2 or 3 months ago and the animation speed in the export was also slow and choppy but it must have been fixed in one of the updates since then.
My issue is I don't want to have to preview everything in Chrome after I export it, and then possibly have to go back and tweak it then save again, preview again etc. I have never encountered this issue in previous versions on Photoshop or other machines. Ususally my experience has been the opposite, the frame timeline has always been slower, but previewing in Save fro Web has shown a pretty accurate preview.
I also have a HP laptop running Windows 7, photoshop CS6 and I don't encounter this issue at all. It seems that everyones default answer on all of the forums is "different browsers handle .gif animation speeds differently, etc.." but int he past I have saved a .gif on my mac and it was slow and choppy in the Chrome, then I saved the same file on my PC transfered it back to the mac and previewed in Chrome and the animation played quickly and smoothly.
I can't see it being a hardware issue because the machine I am using is farily new. iMac Late 2013/2013, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB, running OSX 10.8.4 Mountain Lion.
Could it possibly be a setting or preference that needs to be changed? As I stated above it seems that now when I export the animation works fine in the browser the preview is just slow, but I have read that many people are having this issue so hopedully someone will have a solution.

I don't use a Mac but the first the first thing I do when I have performance problems with Photoshop on my PC is to do some house cleaning. I reset my Photoshop Preference to a saved copy I made when Photoshop was working well. I Also clean my disk up clearing caches and temp files so the plenty of scratch space. I close all applications and look at the machine CPU utilization. Then try Photoshop to see if it is back to its normal performance.

Animated GIF - Animation slows after save CS3

Hello,
When Saving an animated GIF in Photoshop CS3 the animated frames slow when viewed after the save. Therefore any gradient fades etc seem to stutter, about 25% slower than the frame rate set initially.
When the animation is played in photoshop it plays at the right speed, only slows when viewing the file after saving...
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Andy

I just experienced the same problem in Photoshop. 22 frames with "no delay" selected in all of them. When opening the animation in IE6 and Firefox it runs slower than the original.
Therefore, would you be kind to post it if you found a solution?
Hope to hear something soon.
Thanx!

Excel 2007 and 2010 slow to save to network drive with Windows 7

I know this issue has been passed around and I know that there are some fixes out there. I will lay out my issue and resources, what I've tried and the things I've noticed.
I have a mix of Server 2003 32bit, 64 bit and 2008 64 bit. The desktop/laptop environment is mainly XP (no issues saving with an XP machine), a few Win 7 computers and a dozen thin clients running off the 2008 TS. The slow saving issue happens with either
a Win 7 machine or a client terminal served into 2008. It takes 60 seconds or more to save or "save as" an excel file to a network drive. Same thing happens with any Office product. No issue saving to the local machine. If you log into either 7 or
TS with the domain admin account, the saving takes no time at all. Only as a domain user does it hang.
I have tried the SMB2 trick, the 981711 hotfix, turning off indexing and starting the webclient service. I am probably forgetting a trick or two that I've seen online from various people having the same issue. Point is though, the issue remains and besides
being utterly annoying, it is preventing me from rolling Windows 7 out to my employees. Please Help. Thank you in advance for any advice posted

Hi,
Have you tried to create a new txt file with notepad to test this issue? If this issue also happens on .txt file, you should check your network.
And I suggest all users disable their anti-virus to see if the problem goes away.
There are other things to try if the problem is evident in all of the documents you open. When EXCEL is not running, make sure you delete all the temporary files that
EXCEL may have left lying around various folders in your system. Look for files that end with the TMP extension, or files that being with the tilde (~) character. If your file folders become very cluttered with these temporary files, it can slow EXCEL down
immensely.
Another thing to try is to start EXCEL with the
/a switch on the command line. This causes it to load without also loading different startup files such as add-ins and macros. If this fixes the problem, then you can bet that the slowdown is caused by one of those add-ins or macros.
You might also rename the Normal.dot (or Normal.dotm) file; if it is corrupted then it can slow down response times. (Renaming the file causes Word to create a clean,
fresh, empty one the next time you start the program.)

Illustrator Is Slow to Save and Close Files

I've been experiencing slow save time in Illustrator. It doesn't matter if the file is very small or is a large .eps, there's a long pause while saving before the application becomes responsive again. There is also a long pause when closing the document, after it has been saved.
Does anyone have experience with solving this issue? I've run Illustrator on a much slower machine without this issue and it's really cutting into my production time.
I'm running Yosemite on a Macbook Pro w/Retina Display/2.5 GHz Intel Core i7/ 16GB Memory / 256 GB HD
Any help is much appreciated!
Margaret

Hi Margaret,
DId disk utility run clean, and did you fix preferences. To run on your startup disk I believe you hold down Command R (to enter recovery mode) after rebooting, and menu over to disk utility.
Try creating a new user, and see how Illustrator runs. If so we know it is some setting/preference that is saved with the account.
Do you have Adobe Drive
Files open, save slowly | Mac OS X
Though the mac does not have nearly as many viruses as windows, if you seen anything like MacKeeper, or what appeared to be false flash updates. Mine was running slow until I uninstalled, and felt like such a fool as there was a little icon on my top tool bar.
Good luck we will get you up to speed just may take throwing a lot a this one until we narrow down the problem area.

Excel 2010 slow to save on Server 2008 R2 server

I, like many other users am having slowness when saving and opening excel and word docs. I have a W7 x64 machine and the server is a 2008 R2 x64 machine. I've tried to apply the hotfix:

when I try to install it, it says "The update is not applicable to your computer".
Any ideas on what to do? I made sure it was downloading the x64 version of the patch as well.
Thanks in advance.

Dreamweaver will not save site settings local/network

MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2
CS6 Dreamweaver version 12 build 5808
1st site definition: I want to test files locally, then 'put' them to my test server.
2nd site definition: I want to take the file from my local folder and 'put' it to my production server.
I mounted 2drives on the mac... my test server and my live server. The drives have been mounted on different mount points so they don't overwrite each other.
I go into Dreamweaver and select 'manage sites'. I browse to my local folder for the first screen... the next screen (Server tab) wants the path to the test server. I browse to the correct server (verified!!) and click 'Choose'. The path shown in the box on the active 'Server' tab is correct.... BUT when I click 'save', the path CHANGES to my production server.
It will absolutely NOT save the information that I have specified. I am connecting to my servers via local/network.
I've renamed the dreamweaver prefs folders and deleted the site-cache contents...
Almost an hour on the phone with Adobe, and the tech told me they were not trained to assist with local/network setups. What is interesting is the fact that when I browse out to my test server from 'manage sites', I can see my files, expand my folders, etc. It is not a permissions issue- Dreamweaver just won't save the information I enter.
Would appreciate any help I can get on this....

Nancy, I appreciate your time but looks like we found something that will work for us...
OS X does not seem to know what to do with mounted drives if they have the same name. For example:
ip: 192.xxx.xxx.22\MyServer
and
ip: 192.xxx.xxx.23\MyServer
when these are mounted, even at different mount points and with different IP addys, OS X only "sees" the sharename, and seems to disregard the mapping to the share Awesome!!
Re-naming one of the network shares was NOT an option, and the Alias option on OS X does not help at all..... OS X still only sees the sharename, even when the Alias is well......renamed as an alias.... go figure!
Since we were unable to find any way to resolve this from OS X, we ended up creating a second network share for the target folder, using a different name. Issue resolved.

My iCloud drive is slow to save and share Pages documents with my IOS devices

My iCloud drive is slow to update and share my Pages documents with IOS devices. When I save a document to the iCloud drive I get a Cloud symbol in the Name line (behind the document name) and a bar in the Size column (like it's trying to save the document but is unable to do so). When I see the document in the document list on the Pages app on my IOS device it has a gray line along the bottom and I can't open the document in the Pages app.

Same for me, too - for the last few days. Reminiscent of a few weeks back when iTunes and Apple TV ground to a crawl. Of course Apple system status is green. After several days it just started working again. At least with Mac iCloud I have tried to use multiple networks/carriers so now there's no blaming AT&T on this one.
Called support and got the extended wait time message. Gave up.
Love my devices and software, but Apple really has poor cloud support. They won't even own up to the issues. If my employer didn't block dropbox, absolutely done deal I'd be off iCloud back with Dropbox.

Dreamweaver slow to close

I'm running Dreamweaver 8 and for the last few months have
been experiencing very slow change-over when switching from site to
site. When I click on a another site in the Files drop-down,
Dreamweaver starts a background file activity which, on the larger
sites, can take a minute or more. Is there any way to speed this
up? Its making it a very, very slow job when jumping between sites
to make adjustments, etc. The strange thing is that I never used to
have a problem with this and it seems to have started quite
suddenly, but I can't think what has changed. I'm running a
dual-Xeon based PC so resources are NOT an issue.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Sathanas,
This might be due to a sync in progress while you are trying to quit DW.
Next time you face this, lookout for the sync settings icon on the top right corner of the DW window.
If it shows "Syncing...", allow the sync to complete. You should be able to quit DW immediately thereafter.
Cheers,
Subhadeep

Imovie slow to save to file

When I want to Share iMovie project to file it takes over 10 hours for it to process to the theatre or file as an mp4? Why does it take 10 hours to share a project in iMovie????? All of this program is slow, it is not user friendly, and like PC items I have to keep purchasing new programs to burn a DVD or avi file? I can't just download from carmera and burn a avi DVD? Why is this not easy?
M

hi, i couldn't follow all this but
how much free space do you have
highlight your hard drive icon and command+i (get info)
how many GB are Available
next,
have you booted off the Install DVD and ran
Disk Utility> Repair Disk
do you have any results (errors) in red text
if Disk Utility can't repair them check out DiskWarrior (or Erase, restore backup)
have you created a New User account and tested
have you ran the latest Apple COMBO UPDATE for your operating system
have you ran all Apple and Adobe updates
have you used a utility like Cocktail OSX to clear your caches and run all your maintenance scripts
have you reset (zapped) the PRAM and rest the logic board (may be called a PMU reset on an iMac, not sure)
have you added any 3rd party software that may interfer with the OS-Finder
have you added any photoshop plugins
check (can you post a similar screenshot of your plugins):
(to take a screenshot, Shift+Option+4 and drag the area you want, then Insert Image on your response)
Lastly, if nothing else works, you may be better served by Erasing your HD and starting over (Time Machine backup may save your bacon unless the problem was backed up into your backup)...
