Files take 20 minutes to open on network

I have some files that take literally forever to open up on my home network. Is there anything I can do. It's beyond frustrating. thanks.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh. I realize that you are having difficulties with your network and I am just trying to understand what your current equipment is to provide help.
I'm not sure I'm on extreme even.
Please use the following Apple reference to determine the exact model of your Apple router: Identifying Airport hardware
Is this the only router in your network? That is, do you have it connected directly to a DSL or Cable modem for Internet access? Are your Macs the only computers on the network? Where are the modem & router located? ... co-located with the iMac in the office or in the living room where the MacBook is, or some where else? When attempting to access Excel (and other files) from the external drive attached to the iMac, does the MacBook have Excel running on it and you are just accessing the files from the remote drive ... or are you using screen sharing to access the iMac's desktop from the MacBook to run Excel?

Dialog with a lot of XML content takes minutes to open in IE7.

Good day to all.
This is my first week with JDeveloper ADF, so, please, be forgiving. I have a page, which has this code
<af:commandButton text="Show XML" id="cl2"
action="dialog:showxml" useWindow="true"
windowHeight="200" windowWidth="500"
partialSubmit="true">
When clicked, this one is invoked:
<f:verbatim>
<jsp:include page="xml_original.xml"/>
</f:verbatim>
The xml file is 500KB. The dialog pops up very fast in Firefox, but in IE7 it takes minutes to open. When opening it in the page, without the dialog, the performance is fast.
Please help.
Thank you.

Does it open fast when you load the xml file manually in IE (without using it from the ADF / dialog)?
something like http://<host>:<port>/..../xml_original.xml ?

Pdf take minutes to open inside of an extracted zip file

I received a zip file in an email. I extracted it and there were 3 pdfs inside. I cliked on one and the hour glass would just appear and at the top of the pdf it would say "not responding". It finally will open but it takes minutes. Same issue for the other 2.
What is preventing this from opening? I have checked Control Panel and deleted all other pdf applications. Ran Registry Cleaner and cleared Temporary internet and Windows Files from my Norton Security Suite
I do not have any problem opening individual pdfs that I receive or create from insurance company pdf creators inside of their software.
I am running Adobe Reader 10.1.1 on Windows Vista. I have a friend who also seems to have the same problem who is also running Windows Vista.
I have a new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit but there is no issue opening the pdf in that same zip file received.
Thank you.

Hi Michael.
I went back to the zip folder, right cliked on it and cliked on extract all. Then tried opening each one and it just hangs. It still hasn't opened and it is now at least 5 minutes.

Firefox is open, click link in Thunderbird & it takes minutes to open in Firefox. Close Firefox, click link in Thunderbird & the link open fast in Thunderbird.

Firefox and Thunderbird are open. Click on a link in a Thunderbird email & it takes minutes (upwards of 5) to open in Firefox.
Close Firefox, leave Thunderbird open. Click on a link in a Thunderbird email and Firefox starts and the link opens without hesitation.

InDesign files take long to open when clicking file icon

Ok, I have a weird problem with a Windows XP machine running InDesign CS6. Whenever the user tries to open an .INDD document by double-clicking the file icon itself, it takes 3-5 minutes, literally, before the document will open. This is with InDesign running already. It happens with .indd files on servers, locally on the desktop, files with content & links, and even completely new & blank documents.
However, if the user simply drags the file into InDesign, it will open up right away. No problem.
This behavior is not being seen on other WinXP machines, nor is it being seen when trying to open other documents in other applications (i.e. MS Word) on this particular computer.
Any ideas? This machine had Windows XP and Adobe CS6 reinstalled from scratch yesterday.
Thanks!
William

Sad that this issue was never addressed or responded to, for I am having the same exact problem with InDesign CS5.5 and with files located on a network server. I tried the above suggestion of dragging the file directly into InDesign but that doesn't work everytime.

.SRF file takes time to open

Hi All,
I have one .srf file which is having 5 different folders (tab). each folder has 15 to 20 items on an average. it takes nearly 7-10 seconds to open when I load the file through the standard load from XML function in SAP. what could be the reason? is it because of the huge number of items on the form? if yes, any idea to minimize this time?
Thanks,
Binita

and one strange thing i have observed is that even if I deleted more than 60 items from the form, it still takes the same time to open. it just has 2 tabs and 10 items in total. no datatable or choose from list attached.
thanks,
Binita

My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.

When I open my browser, it takes 3-5 minutes to fully open. When I get to a website, randomly the tab will say 'Connecting' and slow down and take 10-15 minutes to function or freeze completely. This almost always happens on sites that require Flash Player use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Flash several times. I've added memory, as someone suggested it was a memory issue. It's so frustrating, please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

IWork '09 apps take minutes to open a document

Every time I open a pages or numbers document I get a spinning beach ball for a very long time.
Some examples:
36kb pages doc: 56sec to open first time; close, then reopen - 16sec.
115kb numbers doc: 1min46sec to open;
117kb pages doc: 2min29sec to open;
That's ridiculous, right? Or is it like this for everyone? This is after a FRESH install of lion on brand new SSD (everything else works great), and a FRESH install of iWork '09. It was the same with the migrated version of the app - I reinstalled it, including fresh plist files, thinking that would help. No difference. I routinely repair permissions as well.
Here's my specs:
Mac Pro 1.1 2.66 GHZ
6GB RAM
SSD Boot drive
Home folder on seperate drive (no latency with any other apps)
iWork '09 Up to date (pages 4.1 for example)
Any thoughts are much appreciated.

MacBook Pro: Minutes to open CD in iTunes

Hey guys,
Just last night my girlfriend informed me that suddenly her MacBook Pro (15" 1.83 stock) machine is going really REALLY slow when she puts a music CD in. Not just 1 CD, but many.
It takes literally minutes from when she puts in the CD, to when it opens up iTunes. OS X recognises the CD as it is displayed on the desktop, however iTunes takes minutes to open up so she can import.
We just updated the software (software update - not yet the firmware) and it happened about 4 days after that. Now I'm no tech person so the only thing thats I can think of are repairing permissions, checking the CD-DVD settings in System-Preferences.
But I thought I'd put this out there incase there was actually a problem with the update, and if anyone else is experiencing/experienced/fixed it. This is her first Mac (a convert thanks to myself), and it ain't good hearing that 'I might as well have gotten a normal PC'.
Thanks,
- leighton

Ahh, that could be a possibility actually. I had never thought of that
You see, she just moved into a new house. Just got the phone like started yesterday and they are having problems setting up their router. They had the wireless network going on at their old house, and since the router is turned on I'm guessing the MacBook Pro is finding the network connection, and trying SOOO HARD to connect to the store to retrieve the information from the database They havn't got the internet working yet - but I think the connection is found for the network.
Thanks for that I'll be telling her tonight!

VI with Several XControls on nested tabs takes minutes to load in LabVIEW 2013

Hello all,
I have a VI in LabVIEW 8.2 that includes more than 400 Xcontrols in nested tabs, which opens in seconds (very fast). The code was upgraded to LabVIEW 2013 and now the VI takes minutes to open and in the meantime LabVIEW is unusable with the CPU at 100%.
I am wondering if anybody has experienced this behavior with Xcontrols.
Thanks.

Please note that I am working with jarcTek on this project where we inherite that UI with so many XControls instances.
It is not like there are a lot of different XControls (there are a total of about 10 different type of XControls), but there are a lot of instances of these XControls (several 100) in 3 levels of nested tabs.
Yes, we both had the time to re-recompile the source code between the two posts that jarcTek made. The various XControls are stored in 4 different llbs. Most of the XControls that have a lot of instances are actually pretty simple (very little code there). Finally, yes the VI property (or the XControl library property general settings) indicate that the code is in LabVIEW 2013 [see image below].
You are correct, the delay occurs after the VI is loaded from disk. The loading time is fine (we see the loading progress/dialog since there are a few 100s vis to load with that main UI), but after that everything hangs for several minutes (cpu peg at 100%). We run the Desktop execution toolkit, and we can see a lot of XControl events (1000s) that are fired during this time.
FYI: Unloading (closing) the VI is also very slow.
To put this in perspective, In LabVIEW 8.2 the same code is ready to run immediately after the UI opens.
Thanks

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

What are the performance Preferences?

When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open.

When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open. When I just start TextEdit everything is fine. Also when I log on with another account TextEdit works like a charm, even when opening an existing file.
What I have done so far:
checked permissions in Disk Utility
validated all fonts
deleted all canon printer drivers
deleted all preferences
Nothing has helped. Mail shows the same behavior as TextEdit. What else can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Opening an Excel file takes over a minute

Anyone else notice that it takes forever to open an Excel file? I know Numbers has to import it, but it takes over a minute on a Mac Pro?
I really don't want to install Excel on my machine.

Bryan,
How large is the file? If you will be frequently opening and working with large Excel files, you may as well accept that you need Office or NeoOffice or OpenOffice on your Mac. Many of us came to Numbers to escape the grip of MS, but you have to do what makes the most sense. Remember that you can still use Numbers for non-collaborative work.

Form takes up to 2 minutes to open - why??

I'm a fairly new user to LiveCycle. I created a performance appraisal review form in LiveCycle v9.0, yet it takes almost 2 minutes to open. The files size is showing only 333KB. Other forms I've created do not take very long at all to pop open. I have no idea how to begin to diagnose why this is happening. Any help is greatly apprecaited.

So I tested it out on Windows Pro Reader X 3GB and it opened right away. Then I put it down to 1GB and it took over a minute! Best bet is to get a faster machine! (or at least a memory upgrade)
In the mean time, I had a look at your form and there were a lot of objects and subforms that didn't need to be there, so I cleaned it up and made one repeatable subform. It works a lot faster now even on a 1GB.
You can edit the title of each entry in the scripting object myLists.

Large file takes long time to open

I'm not an Illustrator user. I work in IT. One of our Illustrator users is complaining that it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to open a 500MB file. She has the latest hardware and 4 GBs of RAM on Windows 7. She is on the latest version of CS5. I just installed it a month ago. CS4 was doing the same thing, so we bought new hardware and CS5. I'm wondering if this is normal for such a large file to take this long to open?

John is probably on to something, but then again it may be normal even when opened locally - AI's memory management simply isn't that great and it also doesn't progressively render partially opened files, so it waits for the whole file to be loaded before even giving you a shred of a preview, which, depending on what features are used, by itself can take forever....
