Elements 13 slows to a crawl when Organizer is running on IMAC

I am running on a 4GHz Retina IMAC with 32GB RAM and i constantly get the spinning BBOD overtime I try to edit or save pictures when  is Organizer is running in the background.  The BBOD eventually goes away but the delays are so long it impossible to edit photos.   This doesn't happen if I a use an older version of Bridge to select photos  instead of Organizer or when Organizer is not running.  I tried all the basics, reloaded the SW, deleted and replaced permissions.  This problem also existed on my other IMAC (2.8 GHZ I7) running Elements 12 and Elements 13.  I would give up on organizer and stay with Bridge except is so old that the version of camera raw it supports is not capable of showing previews with my current camera.  Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue as well. I can run PS with no issues--but Elements 13 runs slow and does not respond for long periods of time.

  • CP5: audio is slowed to a crawl when published

    I'm having trouble getting audio to export properly in a captivate presentation I recently converted from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5. EVERY bit of audio throughout the entire presentation has been slowed. Inside Captivate everything plays at the appropriate speed, but once it's previewed or published, all of the audio plays at about half speed (with comedic effects). Everything else in the presentation plays at the appropriate speed.
    Is there any way to rectify this issue? Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Hi
    I was walking through this thread and here are my 2 cents:
    Instead of changing the bitrate in the CP4 project (referring to what Xeon64, mvlele, xtrainjeremy have discussed about), please try changing the Encoding Frequency to 44.1kHz and leave the Bitrate as is. I am suggesting encoding rate instead of bit rate for the following reasons:
    1. root cause of the evil is due to mismatch in encoding frequency. Modus operendi for CP5 is 44.1kHz
    2. the author of the CP4 project might have carefully decided the bitrate optimizing for SWF file size. Increasing the bitrate can lead to larger SWF size. 3. increasing the bitrate alone will not fully solve the problem (there may be still some mismatch in final frequency of the o/p)
    4. there can be some CP4 project which already has maximum possible bitrate already set and there may be no more scope to increase it.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

  • Poor network speed with 1st generation time capsule and multiple airport express 5Ghz. My network speed slows to a crawl when not close to the time capsule. I get the range that I need, but the speed is painfully slow.

    Hello,
    I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
    After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
    In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
    As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
    Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Unfortunately, no.

  • Slow USB transfer speed when iTunes is running

    hello everyone,
    today I was trying to transfer a bunch bunch of files from my NAS to a portable USB 3 hard drive.
    the transfer speed was 18 to 20 mbytes/s... quite slow for this device.
    after investigation the problem was found that when iTunes (11.0.1) is NOT running the tranfer speed goes up to 90+ mbytes/s
    anyone has an idea on how to solve the problem?

    The only testing that could be performed prior to resetting the AirPort would be to make throughput performance measurements ... but, at best, these would only stand to confirm the slow transfer speeds that you are seeing.
    However, if you do want to make some quantitative measurements, one easy to use (& free) utility is: AJA System Test.

  • Why is my mac internet slow and iphone fast, when both are running through the same router?

    Hi
    I have tried all sorts to fix this. The obvious resetting, rebooting etc of the router. I have spoken to my provider and stuff.
    My internet on my iMac is terrible. I turn off wifi and back on and it works for about 20 seconds then stops. Very intermittent and hardly ever fast.
    My iPhone however loads pages and apps that use the internet instantly. I am sitting at my computer so i cannot see why there would be a difference!
    Its making my head hurt
    HELP

    Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
    To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
    Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.

    Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.

  • Why does Back to My Mac slow to a crawl under heavy GPU usage?

    I run Back to My Mac so that I can access my Mac Mini sitting at home from wherever I am on the road using my Macbook Pro.
    I noticed that even with next to nil CPU usage, Back to My Mac runs normally when I have nothing else running, but slows to a crawl when I have GPU-intensive applications such as BOINC or Asteroid running.
    What's even more weird is that screen updates seem to be timely and I can see what's happening on the computer in real-time right away.  What becomes completely unresponsive are mouse clicks and keyboard presses, which I would think use a very miniscule amount of bandwidth and CPU.  Most of the heavy lifting for a remote screen sharing session is actually transferring what's showing on the screen over the Internet, right?
    Does anyone know if this is a reported bug and if there's an upcoming fix for this?
    The Mac Mini I'm using is a Late 2009 with 8GB RAM and an SSD inside.
    The MacBook Pro I'm using is a Late 2011 with 16GB RAM and an upgraded hybrid hard drive.
    Both are running the latest version of Mavericks with all system updates installed.

    Here is how I fixed it, sort of.  I configured the Time Capsule (TC) in Bridge Mode behind the AT&T Gateway. Connected the TC to Gateway with ethernet cable.  Port 3 of Gateway to WAN port on TC (the one with the circle above it). My desktop iMac is wired to a port on the TC.  If the iMac is asleep, it will not be visible to a laptop (in the laptop sidebar) on the WAN side of the Gateway or one using the Gateway wireless network.
    I set the iMac, using Energy Saver, so that the CPU never goes to sleep.  Unless I force the iMac into sleep mode, it is now visible to a laptop on the WAN side of the Gateway and using the Gateway wireless network. "Wake for network access" has always been checked. Everything seems to work now with Back to my Mac as advertised. 

  • PB Slowed to a crawl.

    Lately I've noticed many of the applications I'm using have been slowed to a crawl. Even mail will freeze up and crash. I have updated to 10.4.4 recently, and everything else in Software Update. I have my PB repaired back in September... got a new hard drive and logic board (took ages to complete). I've done clean installs as recently as a month ago (reformat and install Tiger). I even tried keeping my music on an external drive to free up space (though I have well over 50% of free space with the 15 gigs of music). What's going on here?
    I have the first 12" powerbook... rev. A, 867 mhz, 640 mb ram (maxed out). It's a little over 2.5 years old, but the hard drive and logic board is new. I've repaired permissions countless times. I've run Activity Moniter to see if any application is eating the RAM... but I'm frugal when running my applications... I never have less than 290MB of free (real) memory. I'm running out of options and my patience is going with it. Even the user interface slows to a crawl when an application stops responding (which happens quite often now)... I remember when the UI ran flawlessly even when an application wasn't.
    Something's up; Why is my PowerBook acting like a crappy, spy-ware infested PC?
    12" PowerBook G4 rev. A 867 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Airport Extreme, 640MB

    I don't think many of you actually read the posts. I said the problem was solved when I disabled Secure Virtual Memory so obviously my HD is in fine condition. I repair permissions on a regular basis and I back-up daily (since I lost my HD back in september). Once again, I am only concerned with the fact that 10.4.4 seemed to hurt the performance and stability of my powerbook when Secure Virtual Memory was turned on (it worked fine when I was running 10.4.3). In other words, which I have repeated above, it's a shame I have to sacrifice security for speed and stability.

  • When downloading or uploading a file, browsing slows to a crawl

    Since upgrading to 10.5.5, whenever I'm downloading or uploading a file (via Firefox, Safari, Interarchy, iTunes or Unison - it makes no difference), my web browsing slows to a crawl. If I pause or stop the upload or download, browsing returns to normal speed. If I restart the upload or download, browsing slows to a crawl again.
    By "slows to a crawl", I mean the browser will perform the DNS lookup, then hang on "Waiting for xxxx" or it will load some of the page, but not the style sheet, etc etc, and then time out.
    I have run the DNSChanger Removal Tool and it didn't find anything.
    Anyone else having this experience?

    Unfortunately, I have not found a solution for this problem yet.
    But I did find out, that Safari only crashes, when I choose a "custom" location to save the file at. When I simply click on Download to "Safari Downloads", it keeps working perfectly.
    So it seems to be a problem with the choosing of a file location.
    Does this give anyone an idea what else I could try?

  • Why has my native windows 7 Pro-64 network to a windows 7 Pro-64 VM has slowed to a crawl and freezes, after the new Arris cable modem was installed?

    Please appreciate the details, so the complete situation can be visualized:
    The office network:
    New Mac Mini PC running Win 7Pro 64, (in boot camp), networked to an iMac running the same Win 7 Pro 64, VM, UNDER Fusion 7Pro.
    To review: My treatment rooms former dell PC/running vista business/ running the server and network versions of my Dental practice mgmt & X-ray capture apps, had no probs WLAN to the front desk iMac running the same PC client dental network apps under the same vista business, & Fusion 4. The dell slowly fried its power supply .
    I could not wait to replace it with a Mac mini/ boot camp/ win7 pro 64 bit, as it has to run natively to capture X-rays. The front desk iMac was also upgraded to os10.10.3/ Fusion 7pro/ and its own matching Win7 pro 64bit. The iMac is wired and WLAN connected to a netgear d600 router and a Time Warner Cable  modem. The modem then failed and was replaced by an arris modem. As the Arris was configured out of the box, the network ran much slower slowed, as compared to the original modem. BUT-  The Vonage 2 line phone system stopped working- no incoming or outgoing voices could be heard after it rang. Then twc remote configured it and the phone now works, but the network iMac slowed to a crawl, and now freezes when accessing the Mac Mini PC dental server to edit or enter data. The Mini perfectly accesses the internet via wifi. It accesses the front desk canon  printer by wifi, and can print share they the iMac that is wired to the printer, as well, BUT, the network connection is a spinning pinwheel. The front desk imac easily finds the Mac Mini PC server on the network. It connects easily by entering the servers IPv4 address SHOULD THAT last value change.  But if data isn't entered in slow motion, the window and app freezes, and has to be force quit by Task Manager!
    Cause:
    1. I think TWC switched the cable modem from the default- Non Bridged, to Bridged mode. Could this be the cause?
    2. The network setting in fusion, on the iMac is auto detect, a setting that always worked with vista and with the new Win7 system, before TWC installed the new arris modem. 3. Switching to NAT does not work at all is there a different setting to use?
    3. Does the Netgear Router  have to have a port or pref configured so as not to block the  Server.
    4. might in need an Access Point (I have an extra netgear wdr3400) ).
    5. Do I need an Extender that plugs into the AC LINE?
    I hope this info helps.
    PS:(some addtl info:
    1. File sharing works fine between the minis -Mac and boot camp sides and between the iMacs- Mac and VM sides and between eother side to or from either of the 2 computers! 2. Also  either office computer and all of my my home macs , (& my iPad, & iPhone), can access each other instantly and flawlessly, with splash top streamer and jump desktop remote apps, as controller or as client!  In fact, the front desk iMac can remote control the mini PC AS IF YOU WERE DIRECTLY ENTERING INFO I TO IT!
    SO I think it's either a misconfiguration in the TWC cable modem  &/or some additional pref to config in the router? Thanks so much for your help, (been using VM's since VPC1. & Win95 in a iMac, 1999, DV MODEL! (TWC BLAMES VONAGE FOR NOT OPENING SOME PORTS IN THE TELE MODEM. Vonage blames TWC FOR NOTopeningj ITS PORTS IN THE CABLE MODEM, when they meant the ports on the Netgear.  They have passed the buck for 6 weeks with not even a guess at what to do. VERY FRUSTRATING!  Again, thanks to all!

    Okay Saint Steven, I'll bite:
    I read your description multiple times, very carefully, and I am still confused. May I suggest the following:
    * Follow basic troubleshooting procedures. Isolate each individual problem. Don't try to get everything working at once. Make one change at a time.
    * If I read your description correctly, the Netgear D600 (??) Router is the office LAN (not WLAN). Connect each piece on the LAN separately one-by-one, and test each piece individually. Get your LAN and its devices working first. Forget about the Vonage and the Arris Cable modem.
    * Next, look at your Internet connection. Again, try each piece separately. Depending on how the original cable modem and the new Arris cable modem are configured, you may also have to adjust the configuration of the Netgear D600 Router. 
    * Finally, if you are still having problems, try to organize your thoughts and presentation before you post again. List each element in your network. List how each element is configured. Be systematic.
    "Arris cable modem" does not help much - some are simple bridges, others are routers, etc.
    To answer your questions:
    1. I can't tell from your confusing description, but I don't think so. It seems like the problems are associated with the system changes you made (replacing Dell, etc.) and the problems seem to be isolated to the local LAN.
    2. Auto detect should work, but it is easy to change and test, as long as you change one thing at a time.
    3. No. The Netgear router should allow all communications on the local LAN. Could you have put the "server" in the DMZ?
    Note: I could not find a Netgear "D600" model in a web search. Do you mean N600?
    4. No. I doubt that you need an additional access point. Based on your description, everything appears to connect to the LAN.
    5. No. See 4.
    To repeat myself:
    * Do careful, systematic troubleshooting.
    * Provide carefully written, detailed description of your network and system configurations when you ask for help.
    Good luck!

  • How can an external drive cause my Internet to slow to a crawl and then fail?

    I have two WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB USB 3 new drives. One I'm using for Time Machine and one for CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner). I have been trying to use them with my new MacBook Pro retina 13-inch.
    For the last few days I've had weird problems trying to connect them via a USB 3 hub. I though the hub was the problem (because things seemed to be fine until I introduced a hub into the equation) and already returned one.
    But now I see the same thing happening even without the hub.
    It appears that one drive, when connected to a USB 3 port (it doesn't matter which port), even when it's doing nothing (I erased and and removed the CCC task), causes the Internet to slow to a crawl, and then stop. All connectivity ceases.
    The instant I unmount and remove the drive the Internet springs back to normal speeds - over wifi about 110 Mbps.
    Disk Utility says there are no problems with the disk. So does WD's only diagnostic utility. And the firmware is up-to-date.
    The other disk, running Time Machine, seems to have no issues at all.
    I guess I will return this drive. It could be subtly defective in some way. But what way? Why would an external USB 3 drive affect the Internet connectivity?
    doug

    I came across this post while in search of the answer to the very same question only I am experiencing this problem when connecting to a USB 3.0 hub and nothing else.  The resuling slowdown in my internet speed leaves me hanging intermittently between screens in Safari, sometimes indefinitely.  When I remove the USB cable, normal speeds resume.  Activity Monitor shows no undue load on the CPU.  I did not notice this problem until just recently.  Could this have something to do with the recent OSX patch.
    BTW: I am running a 2012 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display. 
    Anybody have a clue as to what might be going on here?

  • MacBook Pro Slowed to a CRAWL after less then a week....

    Hello All,
    I'm new to Mac. I just got a MacBook Pro last week.
    Well, for some reason it has slowed to a crawl....
    The dock show/hide and magnify isn't working either. Neither is the "active screen corners" feature on the dashboard. In addition to that, the system does not highlight menu items and show the submenus.
    Also when starting applications they take forever to load.
    It's acting like it has no ram even though it has 2 gigs and a 2.16 processor. The ram is showing up in the "About this MAC" screen though.
    I've tried turning off all startup login items. Nothing is being loaded into memory. I've also tried running the disk utility.... still having the same problems.
    I'm new to Mac so perhaps I'm missing something completely obvious.
    What would you all suggest is going on, and what do I need to do to fix it?
    Thank you
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    James:
    I suspect Wizard's problems resulted from too many widgets and possibly some not quite compatible software. Slowdown can result from lack of free physical RAM, so that Virtual Memory swap files on disk have to be frequently accessed. I don't think he mentioned how much RAM is installed. His symptoms go beyond mere slowdown, however, so I would suspect other software problems as well.
    Cutting way back on widgets together with restarting can work wonders sometimes.
    OS X handles file fragmentation pretty well, for file sizes up to about 20 MB. It's probably not necessary to run defrag on a Mac unless one wants to clean up a large space for video work. I don't have defrag software. I'd rather wipe the drive (maybe once a year) and reload from a backup drive. I do swear by DiskWarrior, however, and hope they release an Intel version soon. DW does a great job of correcting disk and file errors and optimizes the directory.
    Apple has been packing a lot of changes into OS incremental upgrades. To interpret that as comparable to Windows Service Packs probably isn't very accurate. Yes, some bugs are fixed but there have been steady upgrades of core features. Security fixes are often included as well. But I've experienced no stability problems whatever.
    Some users recommend using Combo updates instead of using Software Update. I've always used Software Update and have never had a problem. The important thing, either way, is to make certain the operating system and disk directory are 'clean' and trouble-free before and after the update.
    I've never had to do an OS reinstall except once, when I was tinkering with System files and slipped up. Routine preventive maintenance works.

  • File copying has slowed to a crawl.

    When I try to copy from my home directory to an external hard drive, (about 600mb of data in this instance), it starts to copy in the normal way, saying about a minute remaining, then suddenly stops...
    ... and waits, while "time remaining" increases.
    A short while ago it got as far as saying 40 minutes!! For 600mb!!
    I tried to launch my browser while this was happening & it was having none of it.
    I tried to launch the "force quit applications" window. Again nothing.
    Then I stopped it copying & the other things opened.
    It's as if "copying" suddenly asks for more power than the computer can supply & everything else takes a back seat. The copying begins, but at an absolute snail's pace.
    If I left if for 40 minutes it would probably copy successfully, but why so slow?
    I have about 30GB of data I need to remove from my hard drive before I can do a clean install, but at this speed I don't think I'm going to live long enough!
    I've run permissions checks & repairs on all drives concerned. I've run TechTools Pro diagnostics on everything & it's checking out fine.
    So what could be the problem?

    My problem turned out to be much more extensive than I'd originally realised.
    My laptop had a faulty hard drive that needed replacing & the external hard drive seems to have developed a fault whereby it works fine for a while & then slows to a crawl, taking the machine with it. (ie Everything "finder" related seems to slow to a crawl.)
    The external hard drive seems to behave itself if it's the only thing on the firewire chain.
    Alternatively, if I have the dodgy drive on its own on the Firewire 400 socket & my other external hard drives chained off the Firewire 800 socket the dodgy drive behaves itself.
    As soon as I try to copy from one external to the dodgy one it starts to play up, but as long as I just read data from it it's fine.
    So I'll get the data off it & stop using it.
    I hope your problems are not as extensive.

  • Apache Help! Computer has slowed to a crawl & no net access

    After following tutorials: firstly here, and secondly here, my laptop has slowed to an excruciating crawl, when the machine boots it asks for my username and password when the Sys Prefs are set to auto log in. It also can't access the net anymore.
    It was able to utilize PHP files located in the /Library/WebServer/Documents (http://localhost/page.php), but when trying to use http://dev/sitename it would fail and I received an error on line 2 upon execution of "sudo apachectl configtest" when no typos were present.
    I've tried putting everything back the way it was originally but have had no luck.
    Any ideas? I'm dyin' here.......

    Follow up: Was never able to fix the mysterious issue. I did an "Archive and Install" and that seems to have fixed the problem.
