Fixed Assets Very Slow

Hi All,
Our client is running SBO 2007A and has Fixed Assets installed.
I can connect remotely to the server and the speed is absolutely fine for Fixed Assets. This is using the administrator network logon and the SBO manager logon.
When the customer logs on locally on the server (using the administrator and manager logons for the test) the speed for Fixed Assets is very slow.
When the customer logs on to their local pc and their own network and SBO logons the speed is also very slow for Fixed Assets.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Fixed Assets, deleting AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo at the same time.
Can anybody offer any suggestions why a remote connection would be fine while a local connection is so slow?
Thanks and regards,
Julie

Hi.
Thanks for the links, but I don't feel like I'm any further forward on this one.
I've already reinstalled Fixed Assets but still have the problem. The Event Viewer doesn't seem to be reporting anything relating to FA.
Why would the speed be okay when I am remotely connected, but terrible when the users connect directly to the server (or from their own pc)?
Thanks,
Julie

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.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

Installing RAM fixed my *very* slow Mountain Lion

I recognize this isn't really a practical "fix" for many people but I just wanted to share my experience.
Bought a new Mid-2012 15" MBP (2.3 GHz i7 with 4GB RAM) with Mountain Lion installed direct from Apple, set it up by migrating my accounts, data, etc. from an older MBP running Lion. I was very disappointed with how appallingly slow everything was, particularly when logging in, switching user accounts, and Safari. It was all just crawling crawling along. My plan all along was to upgrade the RAM anyway so I installed 8GB and now.........
My cold boot went from 80 seconds down to 48, and my user account login from the main screen went from 35 seconds down to 8! Switching accounts also is now almost instant, 1-2 seconds as opposed to a grey screen as it transitioned for anywhere from 15-20 seconds previously.Safari is also now zipping along.
I don't know if something else resets or updates when you add RAM, or if all the difference can just be attributed to the additional RAM, but the difference has been HUGE! Much much more than I was expecting. I also don't know how much of my problem was related to migrating my data with all its possible conflicts and left over bits and pieces from 3+ years of use.

I'm using a 2.97GHz i7 with 8GB RAM and the problem still exists. Its a shame really, I've been using windows via bootcamp for months and was just starting to like OSX again....

How do I fix a very slow Firefox browser often resulting in "Server Not Found"?

The browser is super slow, saying 'problem loading page' and ends up showing the 'Server not found' message. Eventually I'm able to access a website after highlighting the website address and hitting enter, maybe several times. My computer is new and have made minimal changes until this problem is resolved. Problem affects e-mail, too.

I think this is not a Firefox's bug/error.
This is I think generated from the back-end SQL syntax of the site, which means the site created this error message, not Firefox.
You may contact the site-owner and tell them about this error message, so they may know & fix this error.

Looking for guidance to fix my VERY SLOW imac/osx mavericks

I installed Mavericks many months ago and was disappointed in how it just crippled my system. To date I've just muddled through.   I've tried cleaning out some programs, but I'm not sure what I should keep and what I should ditch. I'm not also sure how much space I have or need for the programs I run. I just started using Adobe Creative Suite and those programs are very very difficult to work with - in any kind of timely manner. (which I need to do for my work) so I'm default to working on a PC (where I also have it installed)
I ran the etracheck that's been recommended in other discussions: Below is the result. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You need to completely uninstall everything Sophos. It is not needed on OS X and can negatively impact proper OS X operation and performance
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119182.aspx
You also need to completely unistall CleanMyMac2. Macpaw's uninstaller is garbage. Search for and Download and install an app called FindAnyFile and use this to search for a delete files with the names CleanMyMac2 and MacPaw to completely rid yourself of the piece of paid "garbageware".
FIndAnyFile
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary OR needed. They really aren't.
There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac. Their potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
These types of system 'cleaning" apps are very poorly written and are really a scam to rob newbie and novice Mac users of their hard earned cash for a poorly written maintenance program that will do much more harm to a perfectly normal running OS X system than the good that the app developers purport these types of apps will do.
Plus, the software companies that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never, EVER download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and important data is too great a risk!
Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you are an iMovie or Final Cut user, both have its own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
http://www.omnigroup.com/more
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.

Fix for very slow InDesign CS4 on PC

Hi, everyone- I don't know much about computers or software so apologies if I don't make sense! I installed my InDesign CS4 on my PC (which has a very fast processor, loads of RAM, etc) and accepted all the standard recommended settings (ie: I've changed nothing from what the standard installation settings are) but it's running so slowly. It takes ages for files to open, even ones that are only a few megs in size. It even takes ages for InDesign to open on it's own. And it takes around 5 minutes for it to shut down too, even if I've made no changes to the file which is an indesign document of about 3 megs in size.
A friend said that I should consider getting "ZX81" software as this is better quality than Adobe's products, but I'm not sure what he means. Any suggestions would be really grateful.

I think your friend is pulling your leg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX81
There are quite a few things that can affect performance. I'd start with a spyware scan, then look through this forum for other suggestions.

Very slow connection after phone line repair

I had my phone line repaired yesterday with new cabling and new BT box for phone and computer.My phone is fine, but the hub for my broadband does not appear to be ok. the phone symbol on the hub did not light up at all this morning, and after restarting the hub and going back to default settings it is now glowing orange only. It was ok yesterday after being fixed. Very slow connection now. Should i keep everything on to see if it will right itself, or re-start yet again?
I have been looking on BT's options for fixing but can't seem to find anything. the connections in my area are fine so it can't be an outside fault

Which home hub do you have? Did you recently re-contract or change your package, as that will affect your hub phone.
As for the speed issue, it should get better if you leave it alone.
See Why has my speed dropped
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

iCloud syncs via your Wi-Fi network so give it a minute or two to reset your photos and music.
Slow internet ... try turning off the modem for a few minutes, then turn it back on.

Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program. How do I fix it?

I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program. How do I fix it?
I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet). I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday. He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone. He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5.
It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU. Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems. I could not even move the picture around. The side screens would not disappear like they should. And I could not move to another picture. The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture. After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
My PC is only 2 years old.
I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC. He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway.
I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC. All was ok.
I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade. I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC. Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU. They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC. What Bus speed do I need?
I have the following PC Setup:
     AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
          with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
     HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
     Windows 7, 64 Bit;
     RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
     Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
     Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
     External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
     LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
     Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it. I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse. Will a new monitor affect my performance? I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS. Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions. When running LR5, I had everything else closed. With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it. 4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup.
I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago. Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5? Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years? I used to go 5-7 years.
Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help. Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all. I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture. I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
Thank you for your time and help.

I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

Very Slow Speed & BT seem unable to fix

Hi All,
First time post and would very much welcome anyone’s view on my problem.
Apologies if it’s a bit long!
The problem: Very slow download speed, going as low as 50kbs. Prior to this issue my download speed was around 4.5Mb but since this issue started it has reduced to around 1Mb first thing in the morning which decreases as the day goes on.
The results of a previous BT speedtest were Download Speed 190Kb / DSL connection rate 6.62 Mb (Downstream) / 448Kb (Upstream) IP Profile for line 5Mb
(All tests were carried out using a single Windows 7 desktop pc with a wired connection to a home hub 2)
6 Feb – Contacted BT to advise of speed problem and was informed that they would need to run a test which would take 48 hours.
8 Feb – Contacted BT to be advised it could be a problem with the home hub or network not passing signal. Further line test carried out and was told that it is not a fault within my property. They would pass problem to Network Faults Dept so they could reconfigure the line and they would call me 9 Feb.
9 Feb – BT Called and following a search on this site I mentioned that the noise margin seemed high (13.3dB/26.0dB) He said it should be 6dB and put in a request for it to be lowered and was told the speed should increase by 11 Feb. (Noise margin was under 6dB by the next day)
10 Feb – BT (Level 2 Help) called to advise the broadband connection is in the stabilisation phase.
11 Feb – Called BT to advise no change in speed. They run test and now say fault is inside the house and an engineer would be required. Oh and it would be a chargeable visit. I queried this as the advisor I spoke to 8 Feb said it was not a problem inside the house but his response was that it was originally a network fault, which was fixed, but now it is a problem inside the house. Sounds Fishy!
Call was transferred to the department that arrange engineers and to cut a long story short it was agreed that it would not be chargeable visit.
13 Feb – BT called to advise an engineer visit 14 Feb
14 Feb – Openreach engineer tested wiring and all was OK. Just to be double sure he replaced the master socket to a 2 port type (hub in top port and telephone in bottom) and was told this type does not require a DSL filter. He also changed the Home Hub 2 to a Home Hub 3 and after still no improvement he concluded BT were throttling my broadband. I’m not sure if he reset my profile but said it should start to improve over the next couple of days.
16 Feb – Still no improvement so I called BT again. They wanted to test the line again and it apparently came back with a network fault and it would take another 48 hours. I then asked to speak to a Manager who reviewed my problem history and transferred me to someone in the Network Department. She did a bit of tinkering and the speed went from 200kb to 400kb, then another bit of tinkering and it went to 550kb. At last, i thought, we were making slow progress but since this call, the speed has decreased again to 130kb. She said that I have to wait another 4 days for it to possibly improve and will call me 21 Feb. They keep telling me I have to wait 48 hours here, 3 days there but unfortunately I now have little faith that there will be any improvements in 4 days time. Is this acceptable or am I being too impatient.

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!

FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

Mavericks install incomplete. No Apple installers on HD. Will I be able to upgrade to Yosemite and will it fix all that didn't install with Mavericks upgrade? Very slow connection speeds 30 hrs to download Mavericks. Tried re-install; no help/

Ever since upgrade to Mavericks I have been having problems which are too numerous to mention. I finally found a program from a UCBerkley professor called Pacifier which indicated 4000+ of 400,000+ files and folders did not install. I was unable to go further to try to fix everything because Pacifier can't find ANY Apple installers on my HD. It recommended I download the Mavericks installer without reinstalling to continue; however, after having done so (very slow connection; takes 30 hours to download) and although the installer appears in apps while downloading it disappears and NO Apple installer packages can be found on my hard drive. I tried to download Yosemite once and it indicated my system wasn't eligible for the upgrade. Its' download time was similar to Mavericks; 28+ hours.
I am using a Macbook Pro mid-2012 version OS X 10.9.5 (13F34); Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
Regardless of how many files and apps I remove my memory is being eaten up to the point I can hardly do anything at all. There are no civil words for how frustrated I am. Someone please help me.
Thanks,
JJ

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

I'm using Parallels 7 on an imac with Windows 7. Both OSX and Windows (and especially quicken on Windows) runs very slow. Is there a good way to fix this?

Since installing Parallels 7 and Windows 7 (to use Quicken), my imac and the virtual computer run very slow. Is there a good fix?

Start up while holding Command R and run Disk Utility, check the SMART status and repair your hard drive.
