File Menu Suddenly Slow

Hello there about 3 weeks ago i noticed that my file menu has become extremely slow....
basically if you have a timeline or preview window selected and click file it lags for 4 - 5 seconds same deal with the 'export' menu.... i know there is another thread about this but the issue was not resolved there and the poster did not provide enough information or reply to the comments to solve the issue....
I've attached a video recording of the issue happening.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 Slow Menus - YouTube
Also the codec information for my video source:
The video file was recorded with "Action!" Recorder using the Nvidia NVENC Codec. I've had no problems using these files in the past in both Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and CC 2014.
I've installed the latest updates, and the issue has been present for about 3 weeks now.
I've done all the usual stuff like cleaning out the media cache, resetting preferences, i've tried using different audio hardware thinking that it may be problematic audio drivers for my interface with no such luck.
Also the media files are stored on a separate disk with decent enough read/write speeds and its in generally healthy conditions verified by 'smart'
I have no vst audio plugins loaded in the project.
The only plugin i have installed into premier pro and media encoder is the "NVENC Export Plugin" for lightning fast gpu rendering but i've also removed this and tested with no such luck.
EDIT:
I've just copied the source files to a new disk and removed the old disk from my system problem still not resolved.
I hope i've provided enough information here!
Kind Regards
Ryan!

No thanks to adobe support for failing to fix this problem.
I contacted them 3 times via phone and was told i would receive a call back the next day with a solution and NEVER received a callback.
I FIXED the problem myself....
SOLUTION: format your pc after formatting and re installing CC all the footage, files and projects worked perfectly from the media disks.

Extremely Slow File Menu Office 2013 (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), but everything else is perfect

I have Office 2013 installed on my Windows 8 (now 8.1) computer. For about three weeks, all programs in the office suite ran perfectly. However, an extremely annoying problem suddenly appeared, which has been plaguing me for the past two weeks: The file
menu is EXTREMELY slow consistently across all programs in the Office 2013 suite. There's a very noticeable delay, about 2 or 3 seconds, between when I click the FILE button, and when the file menu actually appears. Similarly, all options within this menu
are laggy. Typically, the program will enter an unresponsive state for those few seconds and then promptly recover. I haven't lost any data to this issue yet, but it wastes my time.
I don't have much more than the essentials installed on my computer. Drivers for my motherboard, NVidia graphics card, Office, web browser and about 6 other trusted programs.
Any and all help appreciated. Thanks.

All of a sudden I can no longer open a new tab using either the icon on the tab bar, the keyboard short cut or the File menu option. I can open a new tab ONLY by clicking on a bookmark or link.

File Suddenly Slows Down

What do I do when a file suddenly slows down? It takes 20 to 30 seconds for one sentence of text to slowly appear on the screen after I type it.
Problem is associated with one chapter (file) in a book of twenty. The other 19 are fine. Same symptoms when the same file is opened in another computer.
I tried starting with a new, blank chapter, copied and pasted the text and the problem reappeared.
I tried starting with another new, blank chapter, and retyped all the text. The problem soon came back.
I don't know if the problem is associated with a photo I place into the file, or with some text, or what.
Please help, very frustrating to not be able to work.
Thank you,
Henry

It may also help to do a Save AS to remove old change data.

Keynote file menu and file operations very slow

Anyone else seeing specific slow downs when you open, save, etc or access the file menu on the new version of keynote 5.1 using 10.6.8.
Any fixes?

I will try to make a WebDAV repository out of one on Monday.
I just tried something different though. I logged on as a user with administrator rights, it only took 13 seconds to list the directory instead of 3 minutes plus. The regular user has rights and eventually sees what they should, it is just painfully slow.

10.7.5 suddenly slows and then freezes

My computer has just started to suddenly slow way down and then it freezes completely. When I reboot it seems fine, for perhaps 10 minutes or half an hour, but then it starts to lock up again. Any idea what the problem is? Here is my EtreCheck report:

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

Sudden slow down in data transfer

I'm reading data from the hard disk on a Target PXI System (8106 RT) and sending it via Ethernet to a Host PC and writing it to its hard disk. I read a chuck of data from the Target, send it using TCP Write function. The Host uses the TCP Read function get the data and write it to its hard disk. Data is being transfer over a Gbit Ethernet. A total of 9 files ranging in size from 700 MB - 2 GB are being transferred. The process moves along at an adequate speed until it suddenly slows down to slower than a snail's pace in the middle of a file.
By using probes (see enclosures) I've been able to determine it take approximately 17 seconds between when the data is read on the PXI to when it is written on the Host. However, an iteration of the loop on the Target has increased to over 3 minutes. The CPU usage on the Target and Host are minimal, less than 1%. Memory usage on the Host is also small. Any suggestions on how to diagnose what has caused this sudden slow down?

I would recommend using smaller chunk sizes for your data transfers. I would recommend something inthe 10K to 50K range. I have done quite a bit of profiling for sending large amounts of data and I have found that it is better to send lots of smaller chunks rather than fewer large chunks. Also make sure that you are not automatically building up large buffers in your application if you are using shift registers. If you are reading from a file read the file in chunks and send the chuncks. Don't read the whole file in in one read. One experiment I ran resulted in a single read of a large file (2 MB or so) took something like 10 minutes to read it in one read. However it only took a couple of 100 ms to read the whole thing in 10K chunks. Same applies to wrinting very large chunks using the TCP write. You can easily get a timeout if you write 1 MB as a single write because the receiver has not consumed all of the data within the timeout period. However, multiple small writes will reset the timeout for each chunk written.

Can't bounce, save or select items from "file menu" HELP!!!!!!!!

Hi Hope there is someone experienced enough to help!!!!
I am having a major problem with Logic Pro 7 ( 7.1.1) and I mean major.…
and to be truthful I have posed this question before on here without resolving the issue although I have tried absolutely every suggestion and idea but am afraid that it is absolutely no different, but thank you to all who have tried greatly appreciated.
Here is the problem...
About six months ago a suddenly started to experience a weird problem.
This is the issue,
After recording something into Logic with a software instrument, incidentally this happens with both Apple and external plug-ins, everything records and seems to be working just fine, that is until I decide to render / bounce / save the track / tracks or indeed try to do anything from the “FILE” menu when I immediately trigger the time wheel to spins for ever forcing me to click the apple icon and select “force quit” that always reads Logic Pro ( not responding )
I have ran Disk Utility and did not find any problems with both the internal HD and the external and both passed with no problems. Secondly I have removed Logic compliantly ( many times ) from my computer and reinstalled is once again, but yet again with no successes.
However I do have a niggling question and a curious message when I try to reinstall Logic that rather perplexes me that read something as follows.
You are choosing to install an earlier version of Logic the the one installed, which seems to be implying that I have not properly or filly removed the older Logic version before reinstalling the so called replacement. I am suspicious that the message my be compering my hard copy of Logic Pro 7 against the updated version that I download as an Apple download but no to sure, anyway I was under the impression that I was remove everything if a scoop Logic into the trash, or is something going on that I don’t know about?
Anyway can you suggest where the problem is and hopefully how I can resolve the issue.…
Thank you for you time in reading my problem and I truly hope you can assist me, THANK YOU.

If Jim's suggestion doesn't fix it, then read this

and remove all the files shown there.

That might be the key.
It might help if you delete all the Logic files from the receipts folder with a version number ≥ than the version number you're trying to install from disks.

Dreamweaver suddenly slow?

Running CS4 on Mac OSX v 10.5.8, PowerPC G5, 1.5 GB RAM. Normally Dreamweaver runs fine -- not super speedy, but workable. Every now and then, it suddenly slows down. Today it's taking over a minute for the beachball to stop spinning after changing a margin for a div, or even to load a page. Everything else is closed except Firefox (and even rebooting and having nothing else open doesn't solve it.) MacFileCache-********.dat has been deleted, still no help.
When this has happened before, time has solved the problem. Except, of course, I have a final project due next week and I need to get some serious work done this weekend. I'll cry if I have to code everything by hand in a text editor... Help!
Kathy A.

I had tried that the last time I had this same situation, with no improvement.
Since I posted, I have found one new thing that may shed light on the situation. It's only happening on pages where I have smart objects on the page. It doesn't happen every time I have a smart object, but the larger the original Photoshop files, the more likely it is to happen. I took one of the offending pages, removed all the images in a text editor (for other reasons), saved, and then accidentally opened it in Dreamweaver -- it worked like, well, a dream. Added back one smart object (small file size for the png, but large PS original file), and it took over 90 seconds to change the padding of a div on the page. Took the smart object back out, and back to normal.
The only thing I can think of at this spot is that 1.5 megs of RAM just isn't enough to work with large originals. If that's the case, I can live with the extra step of resaving png's out of Photoshop everytime I modify the original file. (Not going to throw more ram into this computer when I'm saving up for an Intel-chipped Mac.) If it's something else, I'd love to know what I'm doing that's causing it.

Photoshop CS5 suddenly slow.

Never seen this before. My 8 core 2.8 GHz Mac Pro has 10 GB RAM and a blank 100 GB scratch disk. Photoshop is always quick. Has been for years. Suddenly today, Photoshop is slow like molasses to open & save files. Lots of progress bars and wait cursors. Everything else on the Mac is fine. It boots quickly & normally, and other apps are happy. My boot drive, a clean installed Mountain Lion system, says S.M.A.R.T. Status: Verified. In Activity Monitor, a process with ID # 0, Kernel Task, was using 700 to 800 MB RAM, while another process, mds, with ID # 44, is using 350 MB RAM. Does anybody know what is going on?
I should add that I booted from a backup system and its copy of Photoshop was also doing the same thing. In addition, a high level troubleshooter on Apple Discussions informed me that my present level of 500 MB RAM for Kernel Task is normal. So all I know is Photoshop is suddenly slow.

There's a fair bit of noise in that thread, and at least some folks found the 13.0.1 update to fix things up or them.
You do have the 13.0.1 update, right?

Saving files is very slow!!!

Since I installed (updated) from CS5 to CS5.1, saving files is very slow. It takes like 4 minutes save a 2048 X 2048 png file which used to take seconds in CS5.
I am not sure what changed... I completely uninstalled all versions of Photoshop. Re-downloaded from the website. Deleted my user preferences and the problem remains.
Why is saving so slow all of a sudden?
Using Windows 7 - 64 bit

Hm, that's kind of alarming. Is it happening with all files or just PNG.
If every file does that, it could be a possible indication that your disk is going bad...
Click Start and type view events into the search box.
When View event logs comes up, click it.
Navigate down into Windows Logs > System and see if there are any Error events there that indicate problems with your disk.
If this isn't the problem, it's possible that Photoshop is having to wait for a disk to spin up to be able to access it. Do you see the problem occur when you save again right away? Are you using an external drive for either file storage or as a scratch disk in Photoshop?
Lastly, you may have a stored printer or drive connection to a location on your network that does not exist now (or is not responding) and that has to time out before completing the operation. Have you changed anything in your network lately?

Compressor suddenly slow

I am using DVDsp vers.3 on a G5 dual 2.0Ghz processor with 2.5GB ram.
I use the "build in background" preference when I import a 45 minute Qt video file (16:9 anamomorphic)for encoding. I have used this basic method for several years but all of a sudden the process is very slow, taking 4 hrs or longer to encode the 45 min.video before ever beginning the muxing process. The Mac console lists a "CGContextSaveGState2" problem but I don't know if this is related to sudden slow down. Does anyone have an idea what would cause the slow down?

Nick, thank you, good idea to keep things clean. apps in the final cut studio often seem to benefit from trashing prefs, too.

Computer has suddenly slowed to a crawl

Hope you can help out there!
--MacBook has suddenly slowed down.
--Takes 2 minutes from login screen to seeing my desktop.
--Took 2 hours to repair permissions.
--Safari begins to start-up and then stalls. Have to re-start.
--Can't back up--Time Machine says "preparing" for 2 hours--I gave up.
--Tried to re-build directory with Disk Warrior--found lots of problems, but would not let me replace with the "preview" directory. It recommended I back-up the "preview" directory, but I didn't see any way to do that. Permissions repair went through quickly. Diagnostics on hard drive ("S.M.A.R.T." function) indicate that hard drive is OK.
--I've run Cocktail (latest version), and that went through okay.
--Have re-started the computer multiple times without beneficial effect.
--Now trying to back-up via Time Machine one more time--will let it stew overnight.
Any suggestions most welcome. THANK YOU.

Hello Robert:
As I indicated above, I think an archive and install would be something to seriously consider:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
An archive and install will install a fresh copy of OS X (which should be updated using the software update feature) while preserving your files, programs, and settings. As always, I strongly recommend a backup before any software update (Time Machine is a good solution).
An erase and install, IMHO, should be reserved for a disaster (I have never done one myself).
By the by, running GUI programs like OnYx (I have one that is pretty good - Cocktail), while not harmful, would not (IMHO) fix the sort of problems you describe. For example, OS X 10.5 runs the UNIX 'cron' (the daily, weekly and monthly processes mentioned above) automatically. There is no reason to manually initiate them. Also, the cache cleaning most of the GUI maintenance programs initiate may atually slow a system for a period of time. There is little or no reason to run any maintenance programs under OS X 10.5 - unless one is troubleshooting.

What causes a sudden slow-down of cursor movement?

I'm laying out a multi-authored volume in CS6, and when I get to one specific chapter, the cursor suddenly slows down and will barely work. Is there some sort of hidden formatting in the original text file that could be causing this?

Cannot remove file menu from split screen monitors.

Hello, I installed the latest update from Apple which was the new Safari 7. I run 2 added monitors with my iMac being the primary. After update installed, both of my split monitors have the file menu on the top of the monitors. I went into the system menu under display and everything is as it should be yet I cannot remove the file menu from my secondary monitors....

Thanks for the info however this still didnt solve the issue. I unselected and closed window but no changes were detected. I re opened the mission control and the box was selected again. I still have the file menues on both secondary monitiors. After i installed the latest update from apple, the one with the new safari update, is when i started having this issue. Everything worked fine before. My computer seems to be runing much slower now and when i click to open safri, it takes about 40 seconds to open safari..On both secondary monitiors, the file menues operate as if they are the main monitor, which my imac should be operating as the main....This is anoying...
