Extremely slow to open conversation with a large chat history. Win7, Skype 7.0.0.100 Desktop

I am running a fresh install of Skype version 7.0.0.100, directly downloaded from the Skype website and am experiencing frustrating issues opening a conversation with a large chat history.
Skype will just freeze and hang while I assume it is loading the history. Never noticed any issues before until I received the updated UI. This doesn't happen with contacts with little to no chat history. I am not sure if this only happens once per session but I do seem to recall previously it has happened again during the same session.
I have not yet received the update on my personal PC so can't yet comment on whether or not this happens on Windows 8.1. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is very frustrating.

I had the same issue since upgrading to Skype 7. My main.db file is about 200MB. I had a chat with Skype support today. Looks like they were able to fix the issue by removing some config files. Here is what they did:Quit Skype completely (right-click on the icon in the bottom right corner and select Quit)Go to %AppData%\Skype folderDelete shared.xml fileOpen the folder that corresponds to your Skype nameIn that folder, delete config.xml fileStart SkypeFor me, these steps fixed the issue. It took some time for chats with large history to open for the first time, but they were opening quickly moving forward (unlike in the past, when they again were opening slowly after swtiching to them in 15 minutes or so).

Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none.

Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none. have to force quit most of the time.

I'm experiencing the same trouble. Photoshop takes 5 minutes to open then runs fine.
I recently bought a new iMac AND updated to Adobe Master Collection CS6. My concern is that PhotoShop now takes 5 minutes to open. The Photoshop desktop pops up immediately, but the moment you click on a tool or try to open a file (no matter the size) results in the spinning wheel for five minutes before you can do anything. After that, Photoshop appears to work fine.
What I’ve done:
Ran Adobe updater
Reset Photoshop Preferences
Validated all fonts and removed any trouble fonts
Ran the font test
Set font preview size to none
Cleared the Photoshop type cache and system cache
Disabled Symantec Endpoint
Tried running with the GPU processor on/off and in basic
Tried opening Photoshop with optional third party plug-ins turned off (still took five minutes but this time I didn’t even get the Photoshop desktop view until AFTER the five minutes)
I’m wondering since I migrated the files form my old computer (and older versions of Master Collection) did something get corrupted.

CS5 Extremely Slow to Open, Save and Print

We have recently installed InDesign CS5. We are experiencing extreme slowness when open, saving and printing documents. We have installed on Windows XP Service Pack 3. I have upgrade to 7.0.3 to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to resolve it?

I can create and save new CS5 files fine both to the desktop and the network. I tried copying our existing files to the desktop to see if there was a network issue. It is also extremely slow to open from the desktop. I'm beginning to wonder if it is our documents. They were created in CS3. I tested one that was 2 pages of text with a few graphics. It took a considerable amout of time to open. I made some edits to it and saved it to the desktop. I would have thought that saving it in the new CS5 format would have improved the slowness. It did not.
I was on a support call with Adobe yesterday for 2 1/2 hours. To say it was extremely frustrating is an understatement. They have asked me to re-download the install, uninstall and reinstall. I did not re-download, but did uninstall and reinstall from the EXE we have. Slowness is still an issue. I'm inquiring regarding our antivirus, however, I don't think that is the issue. We were able to open files in CS3 just fine. It seems to be since the upgrade to CS5 that we are having issues.
Whenever you contact anybody's tech support:
* Get the name of the tech, and any other identifying info
* Get a case number
* Explain your question/problem briefly; begin by saying, "I'm going to explain my problem briefly. Before we spend lots of time on it, I'll ask you if you have expertise in this particular area. I don't mean to be rude, but if you don't have sufficient expertise here, we'll both waste our time. If this isn't OK with you, I understand; we all have strong and less-strong areas. If you don't have the expertise, please give me the name of someone who has the the greatest amount of the expertise needed to solve the problem, and then transfer me to that person. If you can't do this, please give me your supervisor or manager's name, and transfer me to that person. Would you like me to state my problem briefly, now, so that we can go ahead?"
* If you have the slightest inkling that you're being told to do wasteful things like re-download, uninstall and reinstall, ask the tech, "Is this a known fix for my problem? If it's not, why are you asking me to do this?" (Some techs suggest these steps to get you off the line and move on to another call, either because their call clearance rate is slipping, and that's how many are paid. Others suggest them because they don't have the expertise to solve the problem.)
* If you're transferred to a manager or supervisor, summarize why you asked for him or her. Then, ask the manager to transfer you to the highest-skilled person for the problem you'll now explain briefly. If the manager/supervisor balks, ask for the highest-level person in the department, or the division. IOW, ESCALATE (use that word, when asking to change people.)
It's not the customer's job to teach customer service folks to serve customers, but we're the best ones to teach them now NOT to do it.
Now, if you don't have the expertise to do these things, please give me the name of your superior, so I can escalate this matter, and then connect me to that person!
Seriously,
HTH

Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007

For the past two weeks, Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007. currently have Adobe Acrobat X Standard and Adobe Reader X running on windows 7, using microsoft office 2007. is anyone else having this issue?

In an effort to try and solve this I have converted the four reports to native POJO datasources. I thought that maybe the report was looking for the ODBC data source upon which the reports were designed. The ODBC approach was used to help speed up design and development. Now that the DB schema is up and running I can use the POJO and eclipse for preview.
No change in startup and exporting on the QA system.

How can I get a log of conversation with Apple Support Chat ?

How can I get a log of conversation with Apple Support Chat ? Case ID: 52****250
<Edited By Host>

The only way I know of is to copy the entire content of your chat window (while it is still active) and then paste it into a text document (or, if it is short enough to fit the window without scrolling, take a screenshot). Once you terminate the chat, the record is gone (as far as I know).

My mini Mac with a i5 processor is extremely slow to open documents and programs. Is there a solution to this??

Anyone can asset me please. My mini Mac is a 2.3 GHZ i5 Core. 8 GB Ram 13333 MHz with OS 10.7.5.
Pretty much since day one this computer is very..extremely slow to respond to any command. Opening documents or programs the system spin for ever.
Any idea what could be causing this??? I was told that to many pictures slow down the system, I have only 700 pic on file

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Processing speed of my MacBook is extremely slow when opening applications, whether Mail, Safari or MSOffice

Problem description:
The processing speed of any function is extremely slow - such as opening Mail, Safari, clicking on a page within Safari, switching to MS Word, adding a window in Safari, loading a page from Safari. I get the spinning wheel most of the time before the action is completed. All other Macs which are newer in my home WiFi network operate just fine. I have done a top level (novice) check for malware, and haven’t found anything. Any help you can suggest would be truly appreciated! Thank you!

Extremely Slow when Opening a new tab

I have just bought my new Retina MacBook Pro after my 3 years Macbook Pro 13" is total lost and get the Mountain Lion OSX with latest 10.8.2 version
After migrating the MacOSX from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, my Mac is everything ok but without Safari.
Once I wanna open a webpage from bookmarks bar, I usually open a new tab then click one of webpage in one of the bookmarks bar. The problem was happened in this action.
After I opening a new tab which I have set to show top site rather than History (all top site are locked like a set of bookmarks), the system extremely slow down even I just move my mouse from one bookmark to another on the bookmarks bar, it still have a bit serious delay more than a second.
I have just tested, if i choose history not top site is shown when I am opening a new tab, the performance really better. However, when I scroll to somewhere all have thumbnails for those webpages, the performance still slow down but not yet as serious as the top site and I think becasue I have choose over 12 webpages for topsite (which are all have thumbnails).
My new Retina MacBook Pro is the lower default spec i7 2.3GHz and the version now is MacOSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.1
one of place I want to mentioned is my Safari and Safari Webpage Content are over 500MB once I have opened. Is it common and normal? I feel really upset that my new Mac doesn't really faster than before but the older one is Core 2 duo and 4GB ram vs the new one is i7 2.3GHz and 8GB ram....oh my god

Try clearing history and the cache...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaning boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
See if that made a difference.

EXTREMELY slow to open files - Illustrator CC 2014!

Hi,
I just updated from Maverick to Yosemite 10.10.1
See my system config on this monosnap link:
http://take.ms/2CAxh
I have installed the latest Illustrator CC - 18.1.1
See monosnap link:
http://take.ms/lgqj0
I have a big problem everytime I try to open a file from within Illustrator CC!
When try to open a new folder (with few or meny files) it TAKES FOREVER for Illustrator to render the files in the folder. (Aprox 2-5 minutes...).
Everything on the machine freezes - it's like a big hang! - but after the loooong wait the hang kind of releases and I can see all files in the folder and can open and go on with the job...
When I do exactly the same but from within Photoshop CC (2014.2.2) everything works smooth, quick and fine!
I have turned of Yosemite transparance, checked that I have Verdana installed.
What more can I do???
Please help - this problem is extremely tedious to have!

Hi Evil Lair Bear,
have You find a solution and solved the problem (besides the embedding idea)?
I still have the same problem = extreeemly slow to open files from within Illustrator 18.1.1
We have tons of old illustrator files dating back so far as Illustrator 3.2...
It's impossible fur us at the studio to reopen all old files and embedding pics...
Now we alla have to have to do the annoying work around "find and open the files in finder"...
This is driving me nuts...
Any help would be magic! ;-)

1415 fnw printer wireless connection extremely slow or not working with OS X, works with windows

The wireless connection to the printer is either extremely slow or not working at all on OS X Yosemite. It shows up in the list of printers in Bonjour in Safari, and I can connect to parts of the web interface if I wait a very long time. However, I cannot add the printer as a new printer in System Preferences even though the printer shows up.
I have upgraded to the latest firmware. The WiFi indicator on the printer is on, "green", and it has a reserved IP showing up in my router (ComCast). It seems that Windows machines can printer to the printer wirelessly without a problem.
Any help appreciated.
Stephen
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello @sscotti,
I would like to assist you today with installing your wireless HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer on your Mac OS X 10.10 Computer. Now you indicate in your post that this printer works fine with Windows computers, and you are able to 'see' the Bonjour printer on your Mac. Therefore, the issue that you are experiencing is not network related. Rather, I do believe that you are experiencing a driver conflict on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Can I please have you run the steps below to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
First, I'm going to have you 'clean up' your Mac OS X 10.10 computer to verify that any trace of your Laserjet printer is gone so we have a nice clean slate to work with. Please click here and when the website opens select the drop down for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' as the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.10. Run the appropriate uninstall steps for the method in which you originally tried to install your printer: Apple Updates, or the HP Driver download.
Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
Please click here to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.10 drivers for your HP Laserjet printer.
Once the website opens select the 'download' button on the top left
Once the download has completed, please follow the onscreen steps to reinstall your printer.
Once the reinstall is complete, test the print and scan functions to ensure that your printer is functioning as per normal.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should you still be experiencing issues there are additional steps I can have you run through. I look forward to hearing from you. Good luck!

Safari extremely slow and pages load with errors

Not sure if this is related to other Safari posts, but when I try to load a page from many sites, including this one, the speed is extremely slow and there are invariably errors reported on the bottom status bar. I'm on a new Mac Pro, and I haven't added any add-ons to Safari or changed system settings. My internet connection is DSL on ethernet, and there are no problems with email or on my old G4 using Explorer 5.1. At this point G4's Explorer is light years faster than Safari on this machine. I'm going to try Mozilla Firefox, but is there any hope for Safari?
Thanks,
Peggy

Hi Peggy
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try this to speed up Safari.
First, make sure you are not using Rosetta. Go to Safari's info panel (Application folder>Safari.app>Single click>Apple Key I). If Rosetta is selected, uncheck it.
Network Connection
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
- Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
- Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Ethernet ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
- Back to the "Show" menu, depending on your connection select "Ethernet". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply".
Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations.
In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open enter lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.

Finder Extremely Slow to List Files with SSD?

Ok, I have an odd performance issue and want to see if anyone else has seen similar behavior.
Occasionally, when I click on a directory in Finder, it takes several seconds before giving the listing, which is odd as the SSD is otherwise quite fast. (I have the new MBP i7 17" with the 512GB SSD.)
Also, Word is occasionally freezing up on me when editing some large docs sourced from Windows office, some with embedded graphics, etc. - it beachballs and does not come back with time, and a couple of times has exhibited other odd behaviors including blank dialog boxes during save, blank menus, and changing the display of my document to all question marks as if in an unsupported font. I know Office 2008 is buggy, esp. when working with big docs and complex docs from the Windows versions, but two days ago, I got several of those symptoms at the same time (not entirely surprising), and when I killed Word, got an error message (which I should have written down but didn't) saying that there had been a disk error and that my document was inaccessible, and expressly suggesting that I had a bad disk.
My system log is of course full of Word errors ("Unable to lock window," "Cannot map backing data shmem," "Unable to allocate xxxxxx bytes for bitmap data" and others), but none with the text of the error message I got, and I might just chalk this off to Word for the Mac being a clunker, but the fact that directories are sometimes slower than expected combined with the error message suggesting disk failure gives me pause.
So I'll put it out there - have you ever gotten an error like this when Word for the Mac crashed? When browsing files in Finder, does it ever stop for several seconds, a noticeable delay, before displaying a directory, even with an SSD? Any ideas what might be causing this? (Do I have a bum SSD?)

I have the same problem too. It is like Finder working on building caches, the first time I click on a local folder (library or system) then it will take quite some time (may be up to 30~60 secs) to see the listings. I aware about this slowness just 1~2 months back which not sure due to any application installation or OS upgrade/patches. However, after that, if I open another Finder window and click on the same folder again, this time the listing comes out immediately (which I suppose is the normal performance for MBP).
Tried googling but most is about SMB, which is slow too, but now our problem is this slowness even happening on the local folders that stored on SSD!!!
Appreciate suggestions to solve this or at least a way to troubleshoot this. Thanks

Adobe Reader 9 - Extremely slow to open a pdf

I just upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Adobe Reader 9. I use Windows XP and Internet Explorer. When I try to open a pdf, it takes about a minute to open. This never happened with the previous versions.
Why is this happening? What can I do? Reinstall?
Thanks,
Lee

I upgraded. Now have 9.4.0 but it's still very slow on opening pdf files. It also stops when trying to go to page 2. Mysterious.

One safari is fast but the other one is extremely slow while open the same website!

When i open nrich.maths.org on my two macbook pro, one is fast but the other one is extremely slow. I traced this website on both but seemed nothing difference.
My safaris are both version 5.1.2 (7534.52.7), os are 10.7.2, settings of safaris are same.
I also tried some other sites but all's fast.
Anybody have any ideas?
Appreciate!
Tony

On the one that's slow...
Go to Safari > Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extension issue, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Qui then relaunch Safari to test. If Safari speeds up, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

Dreamweaver very slow when opening files with external links

Is there any way to fix Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows 7, 64bit) when opening files with external references?
For example, I have a very simple CSS file, and toward the top the file has a line that says:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:500,700");
This causes the file to take around 20 seconds to open in DW. If I comment out the line or remove it, the file opens almost instantly. This behaviour is also present in files that contain an SSI.
DW often crashes before being able to open the file and I need to restart the app.
Can I disable DW from attempting to load the references?? It's obviously what is causing the issue IMO and would love to make DW workable again!

"Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away
