Fcpx so slow to load now

question:
Any help would be appreciated,
I have 32 gig of ram - 1 Tb hardrive- used about 700 gigs already-
FCPX is now soooo slow to load-  I am using 2 external harddrives for media - they ar pretty loaded but now all of
a sudden it takes 30 minutes to open FCPX.
why?
DF

Hard to know from your description. Where are your projects and events – on your boot drive or external?
How full is "pretty loaded"? What percentage is free on those two external drives?
If those two external media drives are full of projects and events that FCP can see and they are all getting loaded when the app is opened, that could be a reason. If that's the case, hide the projects and events.

  • Firefox 4.0 keeps locking up and is slow to load pages

    I just installed 4.0 this morning. Ever since, Hotmail is extremely slow to load, it keeps locking up or not responding.
    I thought this was supposed to be faster and more streamlined?
    Now, when I try to go back and install 3.6.13 it is no longer available. What gives? I want my old Firefox back.

  • Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

    SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

    I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
    Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
    1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
    2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
    3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
    5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
    6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
    7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
    8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
    Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

  • Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!

    0Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!?I recently purchased a Zen X-Fi2 64gb. I'd been waiting for a player of this size for a few years now but Creative was behind the power curve so I temporarily switched to an Archos 80gb. After the Archos began to annoy me I ended up just going with the Zen 32gb flash based player. It works/ed great. This new Zen X-Fi2 however is unbearably slow! I don't mind quite sometime to rebuild the library once the initial sync is done but when it takes 5 minutes to load a playlist (3000+ songs) then I get upset. It takes so long to load said playlist that the player shuts off before it has time to load all the songs. I can't even just click play right away like I could on the Zen. The only way I've been able to get around it is to tap the screen twice. Once to load the playlist (which takes forever if it's more than 00 songs) and again to play once the lengthy loading process is over with. However even then it doesn't load all the songs. I've been communicating with tech support about this with no resolution in sight. All they keep telling me is how 'normal' it is for a player to load a large number of songs. My Zen which is an MTP player syncs and plays music much faster! Is there anyway to possibly upgrade this to an MTP player?

    Hi Vokivolli,
    Almost 2 months on from your original post I see that you have received no reply from an administrator. Are these problems still persisting with your player? I have an X-Fi Style too and am experiencing the same problems. Like you I was hoping that firmware updates would address the problem. I don't think that the Style is a priority for Creative and unfortunately I don't see them bothering to solve these issues. Hope I'm wrong cos otherwise I love the X-Fi Style.

  • Font book is slow to load

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I have a problem with Font Book now being EXTREMELY slow in loading.
    Under Mavericks the collection list shows up almost immediately and the full font list comes up in about 10 seconds for about 15 seconds to load the 617 font families, of which only about 25 are normally active. (I am in publishing/graphics and have a need for many font families)
    Under Yosemite the font list shows up after about 15 seconds but the collection list takes 50 seconds!!!
    There is the exact same number of fonts active but a 35 second difference in the speed to bring the app to full capability.
    Font book appears to be loading the information in the reverse order with Yosemite and perhaps this is the cause for the big delay in loading.
    Any suggestions other than?

    I also forgot to add that for some of the pages that don't load or load slow.  if you actually type the address into the address bar preceeded by "https://" instead of relying on search links or bookmarks it will load. 

  • IPhone slow to load contacts

    Hi
    I have an iPhone 4S that recently upgraded to ios6. My iphone is slow to load contacts and also emails. There is a 5 - 10 second delay. This has been happening recently in the last 3 months or so (happened on IOS 5 and now IOS6). I have restored my phone and wiped everything using Itunes.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    I've also seen the delay - ever since I got my 3G phone. Update 2.0.1 was said to help this, but I think it's more affected by apps on the system, and how often you turn the phone off. Still not enough to really bother me, but wish it was faster. Hopefully another update will help. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have 2 different email accounts (1 is pretty big, lots of data ) and the fact I have almost 1000 contacts in mine.

  • Can anyone explain why this site is so slow to load?

    Strangely, it pops up fine in Safari but is excruciatingly slow to load in Firefox and IE (with graphics and some of the audio player icons not showing for literally multiple minutes, etc.):

    Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated!

    You may be better served by making a new page for each audio file.
    The page loads slowly because each of the 8 MP3's must begin their download before the next page element can be downloaded. They don't have to completely download (just start) and the QuickTime browser plug-in will be used to play them.
    Each time your page loads completely you're using over 50MB's of your bandwidth limits. This could become expensive if you have bandwidth pricing.
    Consider using just a minute of each MP3 in the QuickTime .mov container with a link to the entire file (as you have now) in MP3 format. Saves bandwidth and speeds up the page load time.

  • EXS24 is so slow if loading an instrument i never used before

    EXS24 is so slow if loading an instrument i never used before. But after the 1st tough time, loading of this patch can be very fast later even after restarting system thousands of times:-)
    I did not change and use any personal setting of ESX24 data fodler. even if loading a Logic factory sounds, it still happens. only the 1st once time is tough. i tried reinstall Logic 721, the problem is still existing. i tried scaning and save
    scaned data in Project Manager, seems not helpful.
    i think EXS24 is seeking samples data when the 1st time i want to use it. it doesn't make sense because all data is in the local hard drive and i have set
    specific directories to scan in project manager.
    may be this problem is caused by BootCamp. because i installed an XP system
    under wizard from BootCamp. But logically, we can simply initialize user information of Logic for fixing the seeking problem. but i don't know where those information or configuration are stored in OSX.

    i don't think it's normal behavior. because all instruments in my local partition
    are Factory sound bank only:-)
    once time I tried converting some GIG into EXS24 format according to the PDF guide, it was pretty good even the 1st time loading.
    this morning I plug a USB hard driver on my MBP, and then loading a patch
    i never used before. seems surely EXS24 is seeking data, because this a light
    on this USB hard driver was shining for couple seconds before the end of loading.
    anyone knows how to block the seeking directorys of EXS24 during loading?
    according to the Manual of EXS24, only default directory and user-defined directories shall be available. but now seems something's wrong.

  • My macbook air is so slow at loading web pages

    Why is my Macbook Air suddenly so slow at loading web pages?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photo Stream, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Premiere Pro CC locking up and very slow to load bigger projects

    I am having a problem with premirepro cc locking up and very slow to load bigger projects.
    Windows 8 machine

    I am having the EXACT same issue and now we are WAY behind deadlines.  We have Adobe for Teams on 3 computers, all are HPZ820, Dual Proc with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 @ 2.00GHz, 32 GB RAM, Dual Video Cards Quadro 6000 4GB, Windows 7 64 bit with all the latest patches.  Everything worked on the first release of 2014 but last week there was an "update" to Premiere.  Since this update, projects work for a short period.  When you start a new project and add footage, you can scrub the footage and play the footage with no issue.  But the more assets you add, simple Titles, it slowly starts to fail.  Playing the timeline starts and stops and then finally the end result is you can't even play the timeline.  The Program window is frozen.  I have even tested starting a new project, adding assets one by one but no matter what, I get the same results. 

  • Official Safari 4 Release Is Extremely Slow to Load Pages

    Just installed the new Safari 4.0 (non-beta). Almost every page I bring up takes considerably longer to load. Graphics and audio are especially slow to load.
    Apple just touted how much faster this browser is supposed to be at WWDC. ???
    Anyone else experiencing these issues?

    Besides audio and video, pages with multiple images take up to 20 seconds to fully load the graphics.
    I originally experienced these issues on a MacBook Pro. Now I just installed on an iMac C2D 2.66GHz and I get the exact same experience.
    On Beta 4.0, the same pages loaded in about 2 seconds, even after emptying cache and doing a shift-reload.

  • Help systems slow to load in Leopard

    Recently, all my applications' help systems have become painfully slow to load - including Leopard's. Any clues?
    Best
    Keith..

    Thanks for trying to help - it's much appreciated. This is how I changed my HDD, (though, as previously stated, the problem predates this change).
    - Old disk removed & mounted in a USB housing
    - New 320GB disk installed from the Leopard DVD using the erase & install option
    - Applications & files transferred to the new disk, using the migration utility
    - All applications seem to launch quickly & run fine - iLife, iWork, Office, Logic, Parallels...
    The only exception seems to be the help sub-system, which is slow to launch & load new pages - for Finder & other applications. It's over a minute to show the home pages & 20-30 seconds to follow any link. It's almost as if it's looking for on-line help content & timing-out before showing local pages (but I don't know if this is even an option)?!?
    BTW, I used to use Cocktail regularly on my G4 PowerBook but never used any similar utilities on the MBP. I have now used IceClean to run the daily/weekly/monthly OSX maintenance 'cron' routines and this has made no difference.

  • Web pages loading unusually slow. Load fine in alt browser

    Web pages on numerous sites very slow to load. Even coming to Firefox to report. Including some pages coming up error as if there is no connection. I tried alternative browser and the pages load fine. I could have stayed on that browser but ff has always been my goto.
    I have a nexus 7 (suppose I should say 1st gen now) running 4.3.

    There are some problems with the new Android version (4.3), they should be fixed very soon (12-24 weeks), there is a solution, use firefox nightly, the superbeta version of firefox 26.
    DOWNLOAD FROM: nightly.mozilla.org
    Does the nightly work better?

  • Slow Time Capsule & Now Error when trying to set up

    My first problem is that the Time Capsule is so much slower then the Airport Extreme. Web pages take ages and ages to load. It is very obvious. The apple store said it would be faster, but I am just not seeing it.
    Now onto todays problem. Suddenly we could not print at all through the Time Capsule. I tried unplugging and plugging in everything again, restarting etc. Now the TC will not work at all. All it does is flash orange. I hit the restart button and have tried the Airport Utility. It keeps telling me it found problems and to hit continue to resolve but then says "an error occurred, please close the configuration window and try again". Keeps doing this. I plugged in AE and it is working like it always did, and it is so very nice to have the speed again. The TC is still flashing orange.

    Did you ever get this "slow page load" issue resolved? I am having the same issue.
