Fix For Slow Down Worked!

From a previous fix - this worked to eliminate what was a 5 to 10 minute startup and shut down problem for our iMAC using OS X 10.5.8. with the 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor - from a thread from a while back (and sorry, I am not going through all the folks that contributed, but the dogs are ready to go outside):
(full excerpt below my procedures)
Procedures -
x - first close all unnecessary applications
1 - go to applications
2 - load the Terminal App
3 - type: sudo chown root:admin /
4 - then press the return key
5 - type in your password when asked (the screen will not show that you are typing)and the press the return key
6 - type: sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
7 - then press the return key
8 - type: sudo kextcache -system-caches
9 - then press the return key
10 - close the Terminal app
I then shut down my computer, started it up, let it fully boot, shut it down a second time, then when I restarted everything was back to normal!!!
Here is the actual excerpt I used to fix the slowness - don't ask me how it works, cuz I am a novice:
From mad84max and user gbvin:
Go to the Terminal App
"It seems that somehow the ownership of my root directory (/) wasn't assigned to the root account anymore, but to myself instead. This made the kernel prelinking fail since it requires that root is the owner. This is how you solve this after launching the Terminal app:
terminal commands
sudo chown root:admin /
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches
You'll have to enter your password after the first command."
Hope this will help you since it was really frustrating for me.

I had slowness on my 3G after upgrading to iOS 4, but I found a simple fix here:
http://www.davekawalec.com/2010/07/3-steps-to-fix-iphone-3g-slowness-after-ios4- upgrade/
It's basically the same steps you recommend, but then after a reboot, you can turn all of the search functions back on. I haven't had a performance problem since I did this.

Hi,
I had a similar problem with my Dell Latitude E4310, and apparently also the E6410, E6510.
The solution for me was to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14
I tried that, unfortunately it does not work with this chipset. I do get a different set of channels though but it still cannot record anything. Maybe this chipset is too "new" for alsa. The latest release dates back from the end of January. Support for it is explicitly stated in the changelog to 1.0.24 but perhaps the recording part of it slipped through the cracks. ALSA bug tracking system seems quite closed.

Fix for slow opening files... soon?

We have several stations set up globally in various offices using Photoshop CS...
Image files, no matter how small the file is... even a single small JPG takes a good 10-15 seconds to open (win xp) and we frequently need to work with hundreds of images. This seems to be a major problem and from what I find on Google, not uncommon...
I finally ran into this temporary 'fix' in the archives which involves setting up a LOCAL printer/driver as a DEFAULT...
While that DID alleviate that problem, I can't see that adobe is just letting this be THE fix for the problem... I've done updates to our CS3 products and have a difficult time believing that there is no permanent fix for this yet.
It seems unlike adobe to expect so many clients to have to experience this problem, spending hours or days trying to figure out why their systems have slowed down and asking themselves questions mostly unrelated to the problem, such as 'did i run out of swap space on my drive?', 'how are my history/cache settings?', 'is there some network drive causing the problem?', 'Is there some spyware slowing my box?', etc...
And on top of that having to notify all the offices... 'Okay guys, if you use photoshop you need to do this, this, and that... temporarily'
Please tell me there is a permanent fix soon...

I don't know which versions of photoshop need to check/contact the network printer...
For volumes of image processing via the batch commands I often need to use our old Photoshop 6 which, even with the network (a fairly large corporate network) the files open up almost instantly... every time... unless they're huge print resolution images...
On the same network for such a task (batching hundreds of images) PS CS3 is unuseable to us unless we implement the local printer 'fix'... and even so, there is more of a delay than with our old photoshop...
And why does it need to contact the printer for each file that is opened? For the first one, sure... check it, done... I'm not printing dammit, just opening files.
If it needs printer information the local OS already has drivers loaded up, couldn't it check those? It shouldn't have to look for other network devices on there unless it's using them... but I'm no tech... so there must be a reason that it simply MUST do it...
And even so... why is this 'fix' so damn hard to find on the net? Tons of people with issues and a lone, difficult-to-find blurb as an obscure fix...?

Potential fix for slow/unreliable network on Macbook Air running Mavericks

Hi all,
I work in IT support at University of Manchester, UK and have found a fix for for network issues we were experiencing with Macbook Air laptops running Mavericks. These Airs were having issues connecting to our WiFi and experiencing slow downloads, even when switched over to UBS LAN adaptors.
Anyhow, after trawling these forums without success I stumbled upon this solution myself so thought I'd share:
Basically, if you are experiencing speed/connection issues go into the 'Advanced' network settings and change the IPv6 setting from 'Automatic' to 'Link Local' and then reboot. Hopefully, after doing this you should find your speed levels return to expected levels!
Hope it works for you.
Cheers.

Editing tips for slowing down HD (flash) clips? Trimming HD clips?

Hello all... I'm new to HD flash content and have a couple of questions about some techniques that could speed up my workflow. I'm used to 'log and capture', but just now beginning my first projects ever using 'log and transfer' of HD content from flash cards. Anyway, here's what I'm hoping I could do:
1. In the past with DV tape, I would drop an entire captured clip (usually and entire tape worth of video) into my Sequence then change the speed of that entire clip from 100% to 80% for my editing needs before cutting it up for editing. With this new log and transfer, it takes every clip between takes and makes them their own independent clip (IE- each time you stop recording on the shoot it makes what you just recorded a clip, whether it's 10 seconds or one hour long). So instead of having a hour's worth of footage with pink break point markers after doing a 'DV Start/Stop Detect' function, you get a boat load of 10 to 15 second individual clips.
Question: Is it possible to select all the clips or set something in the sequence settings to change all of the clips speed from 100% (real time) to say 80% (bit of slow motion) without having adjust each individual clip one-by-one?
2. In the past with DV tape, after slowing down my entire clip I would then go through and make cuts a second before and a second after each and every break point (or pink break point marker after doing a DV Start/Stop Detect). Maybe I've always done this the hard way, who know, so I was wondering if there's a way to select all of this HD content in my Sequence (the individual clips as described in my first question) and automatically have FCP trim a second off the start and finish of each clip (whether it's been slowed down or not)? This obviously would accomplish being able to add transitions between clips (unless there's another way to accomplish adding transitions between clips without trimming them?).
Anyway pointers would be great! I love the HD flash content, but now I'm just realizing my old techniques with DV when it comes to the basic editing isn't going to work with this HD content from flash cards, making my job take 2-3 times as long as it would in the past. So I'm hoping FCP has added these kind of 'shortcuts' much like they did with being able to apply a single transition to a selected batch of clips.
I'm up to date on all software and what not... running FCP 7.0.1.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, but I have access to the FCP user manual and have already read that. I usually only come here as a last resort. I'm hoping somebody can actually answer my two specific questions vs. directing me to a user manual that I already have. Specifically the two questions I asked above with a simple set of instructions on how to accomplish both, it either is at all possible. The user manual did not provide those answers for me and if it did, I'm not understanding it.
And if what you are saying is I can import, or 'log and transfer', all of the footage from one card as one long clip then treating it like it's DV 'log and capture' footage I'd love to know the settings on how to accomplish that as well. I tried that and looked for settings and read the manual and I'm not seeing where that is possible.
I'm not a Hollywood film producer, so spoon feeding might be necessary! I'm hoping to get 'on the fly' help and advice from others that might know what I'm trying to accomplish and do it themselves all the time vs. sitting in front of my editing stations for a week trying to figure it out on my own after reading a vague user manual.

My fix for slow boot after Leopard Upgrade

I was having the same issue as a lot of others in posts about extremely slow boot up times after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard. I spent a lot of time on the phone with Apple Support but in the end I stumbled across a fix for my situation.
After power up and getting to the login screen (about 5-6 seconds), it would take about 3 minutes to fully populate the desktop after entering my password. Most of that time just sitting at the login screen. Extremely painful.
My MacBook connects to a Windows Active Directory network. I was able to fix my slowness by disabling the Active Directory service. I was concerned at first but my bound volumes still work. I don't use a lot of AD services from my Mac so I at this point I have not found any issue with this fix.
To disable, go to Directory Utility, select services and if you have Active Directory enabled, disable it.
My boot time increased from 3 minutes to less than 15 seconds. Better than Tiger.
Tech Support is aware of this issue and has reported it the OS team for a fix.

Hi-
Do you have a Tiger volume to test your machine with?
Do you still have video in Tiger?
If you don't have a Tiger volume to test on, I would consider such as an important troubleshooting step
So now I am wondering if it is the PCI slot that suddenly stopped working after the OS upgrade. Does anyone know if this is a documented issue and if there is a fix for it?
There are no issues with the AGP slot in relation to an OS version.

Fix For Slow Printing To IPP Printer Pool

Here's a fix that might help someone out there:
I have a printer pool with two HP Laserjet printers that's shared via IPP on an Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.5.
One of the printers is offline with a fuser error, so as expected, the server is sending all jobs to the other printer; however even small jobs are now taking an extra 1-2 minutes to get to that printer. Before one of the printers went offline, small jobs would print almost instantaneously.
Since printing speed was normal for other, non-pooled printers shared by the server, I figured the delay was probably related to the server taking too long to decide that the offline printer was actually offline.
I figured that the fastest way for the server to determine that a pooled printer is busy is when it has a job in its queue waiting to print. So, I logged into the server and sent a job directly to the offline printer's queue; the job will just sit there and won't print, but the server will think the printer is busy.
That eliminated the delay. It's annoying that the delay is there at all, since the whole point of the printer pool is too have redundancy if one printer runs out of paper or malfunctions. If anyone has any ideas on a more concrete way to eliminate this delay, please share them.

Hi,
Do the programs freeze for about 2 minutes each time when attempting to print something?
Do we use spooling? If not, we can enable the setting
Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster and its sub-setting
Start printing immediately to see if it helps.
Regarding this setting, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Is there a fix for OMF not working

I am fairly new to CS6 Premier Pro and just cannot get it to export OMF. I went the route of sending to audition, and after loading a fix there (it crashed halfway through the omf process) it did create omf's or so it seemed. There was no media in the resultant omf but the tracks and names were all there. Straight omf from PP simply does not work. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Jim, related issue for me.
Older version CS5. (I did not want to upgrade during project on advice of other editors).
The OMF export files stall, (many threads about that already). On camera audio (HDslr's) as bumpers with banter, then 48k masterd tracks from CD release.
Is my best bet to export as FCP XML, find a friend with FCP7 and have them ingest (then export) OMFs for me?
Deadline, and mastering session booked for today was put off until I can deliver OMF's to the session. Last night I assumed sending out OMF would be simple, having not used that before.
Turned out poorly it seems.
Any thoughts, from the savant realm?
Thanks!
Rob

If I put the iMovie library on an external drive over a USB 2.0 connection, will it slow down work within a project?

I'm running out of internal disk space on my iMac. I want to move the iMovie (10.0.8) library over to an external disk that has only a USB 3.0 connection. But my iMac has only USB 2.0 ports. When iMovie operates, does it load a project into memory, and do all the work there, or does it bang on the library often while I'm working on the project, so that it would slow down project work? I have a hunch that it does frequent saves during work automatically to disk, which would slow things down a lot.

External disk speed is quite important especially if you have limited RAM since less can be transferred to memory and more has to be read and written back to disk. Your disk will run at USB 2 speed which is not fast but should work. (A Firewire 800 disk would have been better assuming your Mac has this). If you haven't already, update your RAM to the maximum.

Is there a fix for slow wifi speed on U310?

I bought early july a IdeaPad U310 in Texas, and then I moved to Belgium to study. The wifi speed was awefullt slow. So having read the forums, i rang the support in Belgium, and after long discussion, i sent the laptop for repair. Service was fine, but extremely slow, with no information what so ever of where the pc was, if it was received for reparation... anyway, three weeks after, so that today. i received it back and, according to the intervention report, the wireless controler was replaced. The thing is, the problem ofthe U310 is not a defectuous part, it is something more fundamental. I tested the PC in various speed test website.
I have three laptop, a Lenovo W520, a HP Mini 110, and the IdeaPad U310.
I used speedtest.net and brosdbandspeedchecker.co.uk
the result are
Lenovo W520: Download: 19.64 Mbps Upload: 1.99 Mbps
HP Mini 110: Download:15.72 Mbps Upload: 1.28 Mbps
IdeaPad U310: Download 4.75 Mbps Upload:2.1 Mbps.
Now, the speed on U310 is not that catastrophic (not like the 0.3 Mbps I was getting) but still not great and rather much slower than the two other machines, and not fast enough to watch a movie in streaming, it pauses all the time.
So what should i do? Send it again?
But is there a fix to the problem? Because keeping changing the wifi controller as they did did not fix the PC. The MEDION Repair center, which is in charge to repair Lenovo for northern europe (i guess) stated as well that the test "#winstress#" as been done. What is it? Yes the wifi works, but way too slow.
Thanks for advice.

Fix For Slow Safari On Windows

A number of people reported that Safari was running very slow for them on Windows. I was someone who was also seeing the same behavior. Web pages that would open up in 2 seconds under IE7 could take literally minutes to fully draw in Safari.
Someone mentioned a proxy issue in one of the other threads, and I got to thinking about that...I made a tiny change, and the problem is gone! Safari is now full steam ahead for me, compared to the snail is was before.
Here is how I fixed the issue.
1 - Click Start and open the Control Panel.
2 - Open the "Internet Options" Control Panel.
3 - Click the "Connections" tab at the top.
4 - Click the "LAN Settings" button at the bottom.
5 - Uncheck the "Automatically Detect Settings" Box.
6 - Click OK to exit the "LAN Settings" window.
7 - Click OK to exit the "Internet Options" window.
Your mileage may vary, but this really did work for me. Nothing else I had tried (clearing the cache, re-installing, etc.) made a difference...but this did. Not sure why it's not affecting everyone, but this doesn't seem to have any negative side effects. IE7 is still working fine for me with the "Automatically Detect" box unchecked.
Enjoy!

Fix for slow Apple TV sync or stream (port 3689 alert)

If you use Intego VirusBarrier X6, syncing or streaming to your Apple TV may be extremely slow or stop altogether. Your network connection may also be broken. The same may also be true with other virus protection or internet security software.
In many cases, you may receive an alert message saying: Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689.
Here is how to modify your VirusBarrier Firewall to open port 3689. If you use other security products, you will need to check with the vendor for specific instructions.
1) In VirusBarrier X6, go to the Firewall section and set the Mode to Advanced.
2) Click the "+ icon" at the bottom left of the window. This will add a new "untitled settings" entry to the list on the left of the window.
3) Right click or control-click in the rules window (the blue and white striped area of the window). Choose "Insert Standard Set" and select whatever setting you were using before (for example: Client Only, Client Local Server, which is the default setting). This will insert the standard rules for that set.
4) Now you must create a new rule for the Apple TV. Click the + button (bottom left). The new rule window will appear.
-- You can name it anything you like, but something that tells you what the rule is for would be recommended. For example: Apple TV.
-- Set the source as "Local Network", the destination should already by "My Mac".
-- The 'Service' option is where you assign what service this rule applies to. However, there will not be an Apple TV option in the list. You must create a new service. Click the '+ sign' next to the services drop down menu. A "new service" window will appear. Name the service something appropriate for it's function (for example: Open port 3689), set the Protocol to TCP, click Single Port, and enter 3689 for the Port.
-- Leave the Interface set to Any, and make sure Allow is enabled.
-- Allow should be enabled, then click OK.
5) This new service you just created will now be at the bottom of the Rules list of your new "untitled settings". You MUST drag it to the top of the list (making it rule number 01).
6) Click the button next to your new "untitled settings" to activate them. Apple TV should now be able to sync (or stream) without problem.

I am having the same problem since upgrading to ATV 2.3 and iTunes 8.0.2.20 for a PC. Since people are having this issue with Mac iTunes, my guess is that it is ATV 2.x that's the problem. Everything stopped syncing as far as I could tell. Apple Support was totally unhelpful. Wanted me to pay for extended care even since I bought my ATV last year. Told me it was "buyer beware" with respect to updates, and that my only recourse was to role back to the factory default (version 1.1) - that is unless I wanted to pay for support. So I asked her if she'd heard of the problem, and she said no. Excuse me? What would I be paying for then? Why can't this company support the piece of junk software they just released??? They are shooting themselves in the foot because now that I've rolled back to 1.1, I can't buy the new content they're pushing from the iTunes store. I've never been this put off by a company and the false advertising that "it just works."

Fix for Slow Transfers on Vision

Hello all. I thought I'd just like to give a heads up on a fix I found for the Creative Zen Vision:M and its slow transfer problems. All you have to do is download Windows Media Player . This seems to fix any sort of firmware issue between the player and the computer.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx
Not only will this fix the transfer rate for indiviual songs, but also large quantities. And on top of that, this version of Windows Media Player is outstandingly awesome.
