Experiencing very slow processing on G5

My G5 always was faster and suddenly is very, very slow. I do not know if if the disk or something else. I have 4Mb Ram, 1 HD 500Mb mounted as A and B and a 400Mb drive monted as C.

Run verify and repair on your drives.
Check that you have used less than 80% of your drive.
If necessary, install OS X on a FireWire drive.
Get a copy of Disk Warrior.
Backup with Disk Utility Restore or SuperDuper.
Verify your backup is bootable and works.
Erase or repartition your drive and restore.
I rebuild drives - frequently - and keep a couple (2+) backups.
Use Onyx and/or Tiger Cache Cleaner to clean things up.
Boot into Single User Mode (command s) and run */sbin/fsck -fy*
(the command and instructions are on screen at prompt for your benefit)
Which repairs the boot drive.

I am experiencing very slow import and backing up issues.

I am experiencing very slow import and backing up catalog on exiting Lightroom. This is a very recent issue. I use RAW files.

The type of files you are importing will have an effect on the speed of the import process. Larger files, like raw sensor files, are normally much larger than JPG files.
But if this is something new, the slowness, and you are using the same camera with the same size files as previously then it's not just the file size.
What type of computer and what operating system are you using.

Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the answer.
I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
Thanks again.

Very slow processing on LSMW and IFS access

Hi all,
we have a very slow processing on LSMW and IFS access. I believe it was slow all the time in the past. This LSMW transaction only converts some data, which are stored in a flat file in the IFS and stores it again into a flat file in the IFS. It is reading the data from IFS and writing again the data into the IFS.
IFS is not fast, I know. But do you have an similar experiences with such LOAD ?!
R/3 Enterprise 4.70 shows with transaction SM50 the following lon running job:

Hi together,
thanks for answering so fast.
The jobs read from the sysbas-IFS   /usr/sap/a/b/ and writes to /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00/work/ also in the sysbas-IFS.This IFS is not remote. Not through the QfileSrv.400 mechanism.
And yes, we have a HA solution. We have two IASP's on two different iSeries and are using XSM to mirror the data.
I have tried to increase the speed by switching off the XSM mirroring, but the speed does not increase. Sorry.
best regards,
Carsten Schulz

Experiencing very slow start up on iPad 2 since iOS6 upgrade

Hello, I wanted to see in the forum if others have experienced very slow (relative to prior state) boot times since upgrading their iPad 2 to iOS6. My iPad now boots in about the same amount of time as my five year old Toshiba Satellite A-300 laptop (approx. 11/2 to 2 minutes). What a shame too since the point (for me at least) in using a tablette is to have faster access to my computer/internet than using a PC. What's next? The battery will drain in four hours??? Forbid it ever happen! Please Apple, make the iOS6.0.1 lighter or at least start up faster. Also, Are iPad 3 users experiencing the same slow boot?
Thanks for any feedback!

Yes, exactly the same problem... 1.5 min startup with a 32 gb iPad 2

Experiencing very slow text and image editing. How can i speed up this laggy-ness??

Brochure template I created myself is responding terribly to editing and manipulation. I'm thinking it could have been a problem with the amount of layers I added on PS elements 12, but I compressed the file and I'm still was having this extremely slow response. I went through the re-installation process and troubleshooting with updates and whatnot but they proved to be unsuccessful.

I have worked with Acrobat 8 before and I never experienced these same problems

So what OS and what version of Acrobat? There may be an issue in the combination.

Experiencing very slow response time using AirPort while wired response is fine. Suggestions?

After a surfing session a few weeks ago the response time for my AirPort internet connection became painfully slow. When I plug in to the wired connection it works fine. Resetting the router and modem doesn't seem to fix it. What might have happened and what can I do to fix it?

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that appears during these hours that is preventing your AirPort Base Station from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, Wi-Fi Explorer or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Is anyone experiencing very slow media upload times? Its is the same with pictures but SFTP is OK

I have spoken to BC but they say its a local network issue but my network checks out OK

" If you leave this area during the hours you are experiencing slow speeds do speeds increase?"
I am not sure how to answer this question, because it is vague. What do you mean by "leave this area"? Move to a different room in my house? (answer: makes no difference) Drive to a different neighborhood/zipcode? (answer: I have not tried this during evening hours, but daytime speeds, particularly download speeds, from my work address are generally better than I get at home; see below)
"Have you ever had a ticket filed in regards to this service issue? Do you notice if you reset network settings on the devices do speeds increase at all?"
I did call VZW customer support to attempt to address. First line of support made your suggestion of resetting the network settings. Did NOT help at all. The agent then transferred me to the second line of support, where I remained on hold for so long that I hung up.

Quicktime SDK for Windows very slow processing UNC paths

Hi,
I am using the QuickTime SDK to ingest a file to XDCAM mov reference and storing the output file on a network drive using a UNC path.
My call to QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString(...) is increadably slow in returning (7.5 seconds), so much so that the rest of the system gives up and the ingest fails.
I tried using QTNewDataReferenceFromCFURL(...) but this didn't make any difference.
If I map the network drive the call to QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString(...) is very quick and the ingest completes without issue.
I am using QuickTime SDK version 7.3, QuickTime player version 7.7.3 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Is this a known problem with QuickTime?
Thanks for your help.

Not directly related to your main question, but this statement is flawed. Photoshop ALWAYS opens scratch files. I have 48GB and just opening Photoshop causes scratch files to be created with names like Photoshop Temp208190803952.
I only mention this because if you're not seeing such files created, you may not have your Scratch preferences or permissions set right.
Can you screenshot your Edit - Preferences - Performance panel, please, and post it here?
And a last note that DOES bear on your Liquify issues: If you're truly using Liquify a lot, you really, REALLY need to look into upgrading to Photoshop CS6. You know they re-wrote it to use the GPU in the new version, right? It's night and day faster.

Macbook getting very slow - processing, typing, using internet

Hi there apple community,
Can someone advice me on how to 'defrag' my Macbook. I'm not sure why but Entourage popped up a message saying I've run out of space in my HD and I have to delete files for it to run. I looked at my Mac HD and there is 26GB available!! Surely that is heaps of GB. A friend of mine who uses a PC suggested cleaning out my temporary files, cookies, and defrag. I have no idea how to do this on my MacBook.
Can anyone suggest why this would happen... I thought 26GB is enough. Is it the memory perhaps.. how do I address this?
I have the 13inch Macbook about a year and half old.
Have music files and movies etc on it.. but not that much to slow it down. I've deleted all unnecessary files, music and movies already.
Thanks in advance.

Hey.. I really don't think I GOT an INSTALL DISC with my Macbook. Bought it in Feb 2008 or early 2008... I've looked everywhere and I don't have an install disc. I'm very fastidious with keeping receipts/documents etc.. and I would have kept the disc with all my computer equipment. Is it possible the Mac came without it. I might have to ask my brother for his cos he just got a new Macbook. Can I use his?
I did the repair permissions, laptop doesn't seem any faster or running better. In fact it did this weird thing I've noticed a few times now.. I usually leave the Mac on most of the day or put in sleep mode.. sometimes when it's left on.. the screen flashes on and off... but when I press a key.. it stops.. and doesn't happen again usually. I will restart when that happens. Doesn't happen often but I've noticed a bit more frequent last 6 mths.
I still haven't cleaned up the HD cos no Install disc.
I will google that program you suggested and try that.
cheers.

Very slow processing and no internet since I connected to my pc

I connected to my pc using usb cable to view some pics and ever since then the phone processes very slowly and no internet connection. I tried shutting it down for a while to see if that would help but no luck. Can someone guide me?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Liquify very slow processing

I recently upgraded to a faster processor including SSD for a scratch disc. Although I have 32gig of ram with CS5 running on Windows 7 and it never uses a scratch. I thought I could save an hour a week with waiting for liquify to do it's thing but as usual, liquify runs out of puff after several strokes on my standard 80meg file, and has done on every system and PS version I have ever owned.
Yes I know there are ways around it, like reducing file size and saving grid etc. All that is time wasting and it shouldn't be necessary with these specs. This has been the same for years. It's as slow as it ever was.
I have searched through this forum and the internet and I can't find the answer. No, there are no slow drives or memory cards plugged in that luiqify would want to mysteriously use. My Videio card is Nvidia GTX 680 but have had plenty of others in the past and liquify was still slow as a turtle. Everything else is super fast.
How do I make liquify work properly utilise available RAM or fast scratch discs, or even better, just work properly.

Ereasing Master Files - Very Slow Process, why?

Hello there,
I usually edit my archive with Aperture. When I select a large amount of images and click erase versions & master files, it just takes a very very long time. So long, that you think the computer crashed. To erase 180 images, took at least 5 min!!
I have set up my Aperture Library on an external hardrive. I am wondering if this has to do with the problem I am encountering when I need to delete a large amount of images at once.
Any suggestions for a better and faster performance?

hi, florian
for faster performance use a 7200rpm hard drive, firewire 800, with 16-32mb cache and keep a healthy amount of free space (headroom) on all your drives.
btw, just in case you are not aware if you use the Vault -- the Vault will make a folder with your deleted photos so you'll have to delete that too.

Very slow processing in Compressor

Compressor is taking a huge amount of time to output my 18-minute video.
As a newbie to Compressor I took the easy, quick-start way and "Sent" the file to Compressor from Final Cut and chose HD720p video sharing for YouTube as my batch setting.
That was an hour ago and it's not even halfway through.
Using an iMac with OS 10.7.5 and 16 Gb of RAM. The original video is in HD and seems to work normally in Final Cut. I exported the file directly from FC as a .mov file and it was about 3 Gb, but took ony about 25 minutes to export.
Is there a better alternative? Does Adobe Premier have a more efficient workflow? I find Compressor extremely kludgy and un-Mac-like.
Thanks

The good news is the progress bar is not linear and half way is usually more like two thirds.
I don't think everyone agrees but I and others have found that the fastest and most reliable workflow - whatever the version of FCP and Compressor – is to export a self contained QT movie (Share>Master Fille in FCPX)…bring that into Compressor…apply one of the video sharing presets or a custom one of your own. Then upload using the Web site's uploader. And for FCPX, my experience is that even more time is saved (all in) if I don't render anything that I don't have to; so I keep Background rendering off – or set to a really high time interval.
My 3 year old iMac without hyper threading will take slightly more than 2 hours to encode an 18 minute QT to h.264. I would expect it to take about 80-90 minutes if I used my Quick Cluster (which I would) and well under an hour with one pass encoding.
As mentioned on a number of similar threads, processing can also be speeded up two ways: by distributed processing (including Quick Clusters that take advantage of the multiple cores in your iMac) and/or by changing the encoding to single pass.
I have used older versions of Pr quite a bit and prefer FCP, but I've not used CS6, which certainly has a lot of fans. They do offer a 30 day trial.
Good luck.
