Finder Very Slow - Folders with Many Files

I've recently noticed that whenever I use Finder to access folders that contain a large number of files (100 or more files in a folder)... it seems to take an inordinately long time for the files to be displayed. Being relatively new to the Mac world and maybe not fully cognizant of some of the finer "tweaking" options....
Is there any way to speed up Finder's response on these types of (large file count) folders?
(When using Parallels/Windows on my Mac, I can open this same folders almost instantly; no delay when using the My Computer or Windows explorer apps)

Rick,
The folders (that seem to take sooo long to open with Finder) are on my Mac and some are also on a networked drive. The folders were created using Finder. The files contained in these folders are various types, JPG images, MP3, DOC, XLS Spreadsheets, and/or miscellaneous data files.
The only thing that all of these problematic folders have in common is that they contain a large number of files; some folders with as many as 400 files....

  • SMB/CIFS browsing slow with folders with many files

    My NAS (Buffalo Linkstation HG) SMB/CIFS browsing from OSX is slow when a folder has many files in it, with ball spinning for more than 30 seconds before listing folder contents depending on how many files the folder has.
    But accessing the same Linkstation from Windows XP is fast. Even Windows XP inside OSX (using Parallels) is fast.
    Since the same machine but inside Parallels is fast seems not a network issue to me. Maybe some setting in OSX could help, or some setting in smb.conf inside the Linkstation (I can change it by using Openlink, a non official firmware).
    Also, AFP folder browsing is fast, but not using it because the one included with the Linkstation has filename length limitations to be compatible with OS Classic.
    Anyone had a similar problem accesing a SMB/CIFS share?
    Thanks.

    There was a suggestion out here recently to disable Bonjour's Name Resolution...but connecting to the remote drive by IP address, instead of name.
    Like so:
    Connect by IP address, and it should bypass Bonjour name resolution. Hit command-K, and in the window that pops up type
    afp://<ip-address>
    where <ip-address> is the IP of the host you want to connect to. For example, if the IP address of the Aiport basestation hosting the drive is 10.0.0.1, you would type:
    afp://10.0.0.1
    This was a long fix for a slightly different problem http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=877397&tstart=0
    Worth a try.
    Aso consider if thisis a large folder full of pictures - mac seems to think it needs to generate thumbnails of all those image files...think of the network and CPU time needed for that.

  • Very slow working with eps files over new network

    Please help!!!
    Our IT has recently upgraded us from a OSX server to a 2 Terabyte SNAP SERVER 520.
    I am using the only INTEL Mac in the department (we have another 10+ G5 PPCs running 10.4), and the only one using OSX 10.5. Since changing to the new server, I am also the only one with several file saving/opening issues.
    I believe this is a network issue.
    It is with mostly ADOBE products and we all know they will not support, working over the network. Due to the volume of files, I simply cannot drag files to my HD, and work locally. It is not practical. I also know that we have not had any issues in the past, and don't see why I can't get to the root of the problem.
    **The most obvious issue is Illustrator .eps files.**
    I can open and save .ai files in good time both locally, and over the network. There is no difference either way. HOWEVER, if it is an .eps file working over the network is not practical. I get the spinning wheel for about 2 minutes each time I open, save, or make a change. It is VERY slow. Working on eps files locally is fine (about the same speed as .ai files), but as soon as it hits the server, it is painfully slow to do anything.
    Additionally, when saving Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign AND Quark 7 files (direct to the network), I am regularly getting "Could not save because write access was not granted", or "Could not save becasue unexpected end-of-file was encountered", or "Could not save because the file is already in use or as left open" type errors.
    I simply then click 'OK', and then hit save again, and it either gives me the same message, or it goes into 'save as' mode which lets me save the file (same name, and same location, but the original file has disappeared).
    I am connected to the server IP address through afp:// but have also tried cifs://. IT have removed all access to the server through smb://, so I cannot try this.
    ANY help is appreciated.

    With regard to the EPS issue, I think I may have found the source of the problem for SMB users: the Suitcase Fusion plug-in.
    Did you make any progress on these issues?

  • Bridge slow to open folders with many files

    Running Bridge CS3 on XP with 2GB of RAM, if I attempt to open a folder with, say, 80 or more RAW files, each about 6-7 MB, Bridge takes 20 minutes or more, or maybe even locks up. But if I split the folder into two subfolders, each with no more than 40 files, Bridge opens them up one at a time relatively quickly. Have others experienced this, and is it simply a limitation of Bridge or do I need more memory or processing power?

    Hi Michael.
    That depends on when you are referring to. When you import files into Bridge the program first sorts the files into the order specified in the 'Filter' panel. Next it creates the image thumbnails - this can take a considerable time if you have 'High Quality Thumbnails' ticked in Bridge Preferences, as Bridge then has to create it's own colour managed thumbnails rather than use the ones embedded in the imported files. The time to create the high quality thumbnails is also increased when indexing RAW images, as they contain more data.
    Once the initial indexing and creation of thumbnails is complete for the folder then subsequent openings of the folder should be much faster.
    If you have a folder containing several hundreds of images this initial indexing can be a pain, so I usually go off and do something else.
    BTW, if you interrupt Bridge while it's going through this initial indexing of a folder then it will attempt to resume next time the folder is accessed, so it's better to let it finish and get it over with - you can tell where Bridge has got to by the '%' indicator at the bottom left of Bridge.

  • Very Slow performance with large files

    Using iTunes with my AppleTV I've been in the slow and painful process of digitizing my dvd library and when converting the LOTR (extended edition) trilogy I ran into a problem post-conversion. They play fine in Quicktime 7.3.1, I can add them to the iTunes library but when attempting to edit any information within iTunes and attempting to save iTunes freezes for several minutes before working or crashing (odds are around 50/50). If I just add the file to the library and try to play it the movie doesn't show up on the AppleTV either which is even stranger.
    Output format of the movie: MP4/H.264, native 720x480 resolution, 23.97fps, 2Mbps video stream, 128k audio stream(limit of winavi).
    Output Size: 4.4GB
    Length: 4hours 24minutes
    Software versions: iTunes 7.3.1, QuickTime 7.3.1
    OS: Windows XP Pro SP2(current patch level as of 7/15).

    Is possible than iTunes have 4 Gb folder limits. I'm trying put a little of light over the problem because iTunes Help don't said.
    Cheers

  • LTFS is slow when dealing with many files

    Working with LTFS on Windows 7 64, I find find that it slows down significantly when dealing with many files (>1500)
    From the behaviour, I suspect that it has to do with the number of file handles.
    Some LTFS vendors have a copy utility that deals very well with this situation.
    I could not find anything like that for HP.
    Does it exist? Is there an open source solution?
    Thank you,
    - Bartels

    Can someone from the Experts please respond?
    Your LTFS solution is in certain situations much slower than the competitors; the difference is a huge factor three..
    I would really like to know if there is a solution or not. Either way.

  • Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

    I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
    Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
    Thanks for any help you can offer,
    Brian

    I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
    1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
    2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
    (I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked.  I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
    3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR"  (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
    4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
    5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
    It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out.  I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account.  Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"!  However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
    It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that.  At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory.  Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol.  I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
    I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

  • CS4 apps are VERY slow to open Windows file browser with File Open or File Save As commands

    We are running CS4 on Windows 7 with all available updates installed.   Photoshop and the other CS4 applications are VERY slow to open a Windows file browsing window to select files when File Open or File Save As menu options are run -- it can take as long as a minute or two for the window to open.  Once the window opens and a file is selected, then opening or saving the file is very quick.  The location of the default directory, whether it is on a local drive or a network drive, makes no difference.  Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

    The link that I posted earlier is off.  Read this one
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2501584.  I discovered in my network that the MS Office File Validation Patch made excel crawl when opening over the network though nothing else changed. At the time I was opening Excel on Office 2003.
    You can manually turn this off by editing the registry and tunring it off.  Going forward I skipped the patch to keep my sanity.  Not sure if this is the same as your issue, but the support article will go into detail how to either have Fix it
    clear the issue or change the proper registry keys.

  • Dreamweaver CC opening files very slow iMac with Fusion drive

    I am working on a small website based off on Bootstrap 3. Now that I am almost done with the project opening files take a few seconds to open them (in code view). I have tried the various fixes like resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE but still the files load very slow. On my Windows Machine it loads very fast and that machine is 4 years old. The iMac I am using at work is the latest version with decked out specs and only Dreamweaver CC and Edge Code have very slow opening of files. Creating new documents inside Dreamweaver CC is fast. Is there a way to make Dreamweaver open files faster? How to make it load faster, open documents faster, especially in code view. My initial thought is maybe its because I am linking to a few JS library like TypeKit and jQuery but I have not experience these problems on my Windows PC. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Very slow rederting of PDF files

    Keynote rendering of pdf gives amazing quality. However with a PDF which contains scientific data and many line objects it can be very very slow. For example a file which is 500KB can take 11 sec to render.
    Exporting from Illustrator to tiff or PSD (150 dpi) usually result in noticable quality reduction, and also takes all the advantage of being able to presernt PDF in the first place.
    Is there any simple workaround?
    Thanks
    Mickey
    PB alu 1.67   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It seems that there a difference between the PDF rendering engine of keynote (which I suspect is the same one of preview) and the one of Adobe. The same PDF could be compressed to a very small file and open in a snap in Acrobat. But for preview it took few second to render. After cutting bits in an out I found the problematic object and remade it. This sloved the problem.
    As a side effect I found out that by using Show package content, you can find the pasted PDF and edit it directly with Illustrator, without having to cut and paste or save and insert.

  • After Yosemite Update, Macbook Pro Frustratingly slow, along with many problems after

    My Info:
    Macbook Pro (2012)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.10.3 (14D136)
    Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    186.54 GB free of 498.88 GB
    Until the last OS X Update (Yosemite), I have had no problems with my almost three year old MacPro.
    However, after the last update, I have so many problems with my mac, I just feel like throwing
    it out the window.
    Unfortunately, I did not have a backup prior to the update, but I backed up my photos and files, then proceeded
    to follow apple's instructions (apple support chat) to erase the HD and re-install yosemite from online. Then, I backed up my files and photos from my external drive. (I used TIME MACHINE)
    Fine in theory, but:
    1. my iphoto library was somehow lost, nowhere to ever be found again
    2. I suddenly have issues with my trackpad--the "double click" or "right" click refuses to work, I cannot drag and drop.
    3. I have java runtime error messages even upon startup, without internet connection, even though I have already deleted anything and everything java related.
    4. My safari is completely useless. Freezes even when only using one tab, must force quit every second.
    5. My computer decides by itself when to zoom in and out of a page.
    6. My apps are completely slow, I most always need to force quit them
    7. My trash has many issues-- If putting a file in the trash, it says "moving file to trash" for hours on end without ever completing the action, also, if I try emptying the trash, it's the same story.
    8. Settings. If I try to change a setting, it says "authenticating" for ever and ever without ever authenticating, and I am unable to change any settings.
    I have talked to apple many times but have not yet reached a solution.
    I have no other resolution at the moment, as I am in Taiwan for another month (My Chinese is limited and there are few, if none authentic Apple stores around)
    I have one more month on my warranty so I can *possibly* take it in to a store when I return home, but I first wanted to ask here and see if anyone else stumbled upon the same issues, or if they had solutions.
    Thank you!

    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.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    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 it 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. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text 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.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in safe mode. 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. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    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 and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    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. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, 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, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, 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 "The message contains invalid characters." 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 for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

  • Very slow scrolling with CS5

    I don't know if other people also have this problem, but I noticed an issue which makes Photoshop CS5 completely useless for me: It is scrolling incredibly slow. With CS4 I am able to scroll much faster and with different speeds. In CS5 it seems like the speed is limited. No matter how much I scroll with my mouse, Photoshop keeps scrolling at the same speed.
    It seems like it is not only me: The only website concerning this problem I was able to find is:
    http://macperformanceguide.com/OptimizingPhotoshopCS5-Issues.html
    Unacceptable scrolling speed with center button
    I use the scroll wheel in the center of the Apple mouse constantly. In CS5, this functionality is now broken, because CS5 scrolls only a small amount, very different from CS4. There is no apparent work-around.
    Reader Joe N agrees:
    I saw your posting about CS5 issues, and I want to add another STRONG vote for the Photoshop mouse wheel scrolling speed issue. I use a Magic Mouse, and the scrolling speed is so poor in PS CS5 that it is totally blocking my creative flow. I have scoured the web for a solution and have not found anything yet...
    I also use a Magic Mouse and a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Is there any hope of a fix or a workaround?

    Thanks so much for replying, Chris. I've just started using CS5 and only used CS4 for a couple of weeks. There are so many variables. and I don't think it's just Photoshop. I'm wondering if the same problems happen in windows 7 (I switched to the Mac the last time I bought a computer.) Probably it's just that everything gets more complicated along with the improvements. : -(
    Thanks again,
    Peggy
