Help can be SLOW and includes a network search -- you, too?

I find that the Aperture Help window goes out to the network on every page turn, search, and click on the User Manual table of contents. If I shut off the network, Help is MUCH faster but, as expected, searches don't include "Support Articles" in the results. (They are an online component.) I get similar results on both a MacBook Pro and an iMac.
I sent a note to Apple via "Provide Aperture Feedback". If you observe similar results, please provide feedback, too.

I am new to Aperture and on a new Intel Core i5. When trying to ask simple questions on the usage of Aperture 3, it initially takes about 20seconds to load manual index page then subsequent look ups seem to take the same time (spinning beach ball on an Core i5!!!).
Can the help manual be opened permanently for easy quick reference.

  • Help! Publish cancelled - and it AIN'T what you think!

    Hi all!
    For some reason when I publish with the same FTP settings I've used dozens of time, I get a message "Publishing has been cancelled.  Failed to create file: Account_Reminders.jpg."  Now - before you think you know the answer here, I have consulted the forum and read Peter Grainge and others and their very detailed and helpful notes - but unfortunately they're not working for me!
    I have created a new folder (twice) and tried to publish to that new folder - same thing.  I created a folder on my hard drive and published to it without problem, so it has to be something involving the FTP.  I am over my head here - can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance!
    Chris

    I've also just found this on Peter Grainge's site...
    Webhelp - Publishing Cancelled.
    This crops up occasionally and I have never got to the bottom of it. Some say it is because one of the files or folders has become marked Read Only but when I checked my target, that was not the case.
    Fortunately fixing the problem is usually straightforward. The quickest way is to rename the target folder and publish again using the original name, or publish to a new target folder with a different name. After that you can trash the original and rename the new folder.
    Another reason can be the the publishing details have lost track of your username and password for the location you are publishing to. This can happen when you start working on a new PC. Just re-enter the details and publish again.

  • Itunes Freezes ,slow and won't allow search

    When i start itunes it freezes momentarily, is very slow and won't allow me to put more than two letters in Search box before freezing. Everything else runs on pc fine.
    Anybody any ideas? Using 10.2.1.1 but I've installed different versions but same problems.
    Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!

    Good old fashioned XP. I run it on other pc's with XP with no problems. Tried running various old versions but no luck. I'm sure it must be blindingly obvious to somebody who knows what they're doing!

  • Where can I find and include the "record" radio buttons in Logic 9?

    Ok, I feel like a real dummy but for some reason when I installed the Logic 9 upgrade (upgraded from Logic 8) all the "record" radio buttons on the audio channel strips were missing. (They are there on the instrument channel strips.) Can anyone tell me how to get them back? I checked all the preferences I could find but somehow I'm not finding the one that will get me back my "record" radio buttons.
    Help!
    Mark

    They should be there on both. Only frozen SI tracks loose theirs (obviously), but my question earlier is irrelevant: even with no input selected there still ought to be a record button on the track header.
    OP: have you looked at the configuration of the track header? ctrl-click in it to find out.

  • Help with email buttons, and uploading from a webpage you created

    Would anyone know how to create a 'contact us' page for a website, so people can send you their contact info and files?
    The GoLive book says your provider does this, but my large hosting provider said you do it in GoLive.
    Most sites have a 'contact us' page, where you can fill in your name and address, and send a PDF or file, just by clicking a 'send' button.
    If someone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    If your provided provided PHP scripting you can use NateMail from MindPalette (NateMail 3.0.15), and it's free. It's a forms fill-in email contact that can be built in GoLive. I've used it with great success on my site.
    Here is a link to my page:

  • Mac Book becomes so slow and often goes for search/indexing, Mac Book becomes so slow and often goes for search/indexing

    I am using MacBook and often face a speed or hang up problem with most of the softwares. Say for example, Skype, Mail/address book, excel etc.
    For anything it searches and indexing is horible.
    The address book is the worst i have everseen and while composing a mail, as soon as you start typing address, it searches and dont allow you to enter at your own and it takes so long time to finish it.
    Skype crashes 3-4 times in a day and takes long long time to log in.

    I solved this problem by restoring my phone to factory setting. I dint find any solution to this problem. Now instead of using "Google Sync" i use iTunes contact sync which does the same thing.
    The key is not to use "Google Sync" when you restore your iPhone. Follow these steps:
    1. Take back up of everything. Sync your contacts so your gmail has latest contacts.
    2. Restore your iPhone. And set it as new iPhone instead of reloading everything from previous backup.
    3. Sync everything using iTunes.
    4. For contacts go to Info -> Sync Contact with -> you can set up gmail here and it will load all gmail contacts to your iPhone.
    My iPhone is working perfectly after this. I hope it works on your too.

  • HT3500 I have a MacBook Pro and an HP ENVY 110 SERIES All-In-One .  I can't seem to get a network set up or either one to locate or connect to the other one.

    I've spent hours, actually probably days, trying to do this but it's not working. I've had the ENVY since Nov
    and have not been able to print - much less do anything else with it.
    My internet is CLEAR wireless. I use the little USB 4G Mobil Modem. This new HP ENVY is also wireless.
    I know I can't be online and print at the same time unless I get a router.
    I also know that I can go offline and change the network pref  to "airport" so I can print. Meaning I'll have to change
    back and forth but for my uses,  that's ok..at least for right now.
    What I can't seem to get set-up correctly is my own local network.
    I'm pretty sure it's suppose to be done using "Airport".
    Obviously, I'm doing something wrong in establishing my network.
    The printer is listed on my printer preferences and shown as  "offline"  "default". I assume that means the ENVY
    is my default printer.  Great! At least my Pro knows it's suppose to connect to the ENVY once everything's set-up correctly.
    Now, if someone could just tell me exactly, step-by-step what to do to get that done....
    I'd be soooo very happy!
    Thank you!
    Ricki

    Well... no help was found here.. so I abandoned the wireless- ness of my printer.  I bought a
    small 10 port hub because only 2 USB ports really isn't enough with wireless mouse, wireless internet
    and any kind of printer.   I also bought a long USB cable.  I now print--wired since this can be done
    as an alternative to wireless with this printer.   Because I don't want a cable "hanging around"
    when the printer is not in use, I simple disconnect it and reconnect when I want to print.
    It's a temporary solution others may find helpful as well. Apparently there's been a lot of
    confusion and problems getting this printer set up wirelessly with our MacBooks.
    Shame on HP for not helping us out!

  • HT2500 hi - can't send mails but can receive them and use internet - pls help

    Hi - please help, I can't seem to send mails but I can receive them and surf the net?

    You need to open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Account Information" tab>and there input the required information for your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).  Your Internet Service Provider will have the required information to give you to input here.  Make sure that you also click at the end of the line "Outgoing Mail Server" on the arrows to get the dropdown list, and there click on "Edit SMTP Server List" and fill in the data in that resulting window also.

  • Apple TV 1st Gen can no longer connect to wireless networks

    My Apple TV (1st Gen) has recently lost the ability to connect to either of our wireless networks at home.  I rean the diagnostics at the reset screen and the Apple TV says it is performing normally.  In the settings, whenever I attempt to connect to a wireless network, I am now only offered "Other..." as a choice. Proceeding to the next screen, I enter the name of the network closest to the Apple TV -- an Airport Extreme set up for 5 GHz that this Apple TV connected with daily up until 2 days ago.  The Airport base station is perfoming normally, as my MacBook Pro can see it and establish a network connection without any difficulty.  The issue is limited to the Apple TV.  I did a Factory Restore, and now when I go to Wireless Network > "Other..." > Enter the name of the wireless network"  the resuit is always the same, and error message stating: "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)".
    This message comes up almost immediately, without requesting a WiFi password -- suggesting to me that this Apple TV has lost the ability to connect to ANY wireless network due to a hardware failure.
    Q: Has anyone else in the Support Community had a similar experience with their 1st Gen Apple TV, and if so, did you find a solution to it?
    Note: When I first noticed the connction to this Apple TV had gone stale (greyed out in the iTunes Airplay Speakers list), and prior to doing the Factory Restore, I could play back iTunes content stored on the hard drive, but could not connect to the local wireless networks.  I noticed that the Apple TV was running very hot -- it has alwasy run pretty hot to the touch.
    If this Apple TV has died, I will get a 3rd Gen Apple TV, but wiill then have to work through the HDMI to Composite video + Audio issues, as this Apple TV is connected to our older (non-HDMI) TV.

    Follow-up:  Able to connect with ethernet cable, downloaded software updates, connected to iTunes, and synchec content.
    Next, disconnected the ethernet cable.  ATV1 froze and was restarted using the Menu + ( - ) combo on the remote.  Re-ran diagnostics yeilds: Apple TV is working fine.
    Restarted, then went to configure the Wirelss settings.   Apple TV once again does not show either of the two wireless networks.  Selecting "Other..." and entering the SSID yields the same immediate response:
    "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)"
    No change on the wireless front :-(   Bummer.
    Looks like an ethernet connection is the only option left to continue using this Apple TV 1st Gen.
    Thanks for your help. -- Paul

  • My Macbook Air first generation is slow and applications don't work!

    Last week, I woke up to find that my macbook air (first generation) has completely frozen. I went ahead and tried many keys such as esc, etc. until I decided to press on the power button for a few seconds until it restarted. Next, I found an empty screen with nothing but the apple logo on it. I was patient but nothing happened, 3 hours into the wait. I went on the apple support communities and followed a few steps to reboot and ended up with a blue screen, with my start up slowly starting. Ever since, everything takes about x50 the amount of time it takes to do anything for example, when I click on a file, it takes x 50 times longer it takes to open the file or empty the trash, etc. I've tried opening any application to try and back up so I can do a format as they call it, but I can't open any application such as Mail, etc.
    I am not a computer software/hardware literate person but I can understand what's going on and how to follow steps suggested by IT/apple experts. I have also done a hardware check up on reboot and everything is fine with the hardware.
    Please help me get my macbook air back.
    Thank you.

    Two other factors that could impact performance like that .... reduced memory and a too full hard drive/SSD.
    If you click on the apple on the menu bar, and about this mac, does it show you the memory size  you expect to have, ie, 2GB?
    If you can, bring up the Activity Monitor (on your hard drive in applications/utlities) to see if anything is hogging the CPU.
    On your hard drive/SSD, how much free space do you have?  You need 5GB minimum with 10% to 15% being better, for systems usage. Less than that can really slow the system down.
    If you can, bring up Disk Utility (on your hard drive in applications/utilities) and do a verify disk to check the disk status.
    You could reset PRAM ... won't hurt and 'might' help
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    You should be able to run the Apple hardware test by disconnecting any devices, leaving the power adapter in, and reboot holding the D key down. Run the extended test.

  • Navigation very slow and not able to enter in memory a sequence issue

    Hello,
    we have a big problem with oracle forms performance since we deployed our
    application to the web. all our customers are not confortable with this new
    environment because the sytem are very slow and working it's very difficult.
    our application is very slow in point of when the user use very quickly the key
    functions it doens't work.
    I explain :
    for example, we have a button &Verifier (alt+v : acces key to this button) and
    when clicking to button we have a dialox box that contains 2 buttons:
    Oui(alt+O:access key) and Non(alt+N:access key) and if we click Oui(alt+O) it
    popup as an information box and we must click Ok(alt+O: access key).
    then if we click quickly alt+v after alt+o after alt+o it doens't work and it
    wait to click againt alt+o.(like the system doesn't follow or has not yet enter all the sequence in the memory)
    before in client/server it work's fine.
    it's like our application in the web it's not able to entered in memory a
    serial of access key.
    please can you help me the problem is always occuring in the production
    environment.
    our environment:
    - oracle jiniator :1.3.1.22
    OAS 10G (9041)
    DATABASE 9206
    - the complete version of forms : 9.0.4.0.19
    - we have 23 USERS.
    any help are welcome, the problem are urgent.
    thank you.

    Hi
    Lets analyse and hope to narrow down your issue
    We have used the Pick and Pack Manager to release goods from Sales Order through to Invoice. The functionality offered is good,
    > Slow performance could be triggered by multile issue  , so lets wait
    > Do you know PICKand PACK manager is only for status ,but it actually doesn't affect inventory level .
    but in practise the system is so slow it is taking 2 to 3 times longer than copying to a Sales Invoice.
    > You need to do delivery first and transfer the delivery into invoice .
    Is there any way of cutting out part of the process to speed things up? What we really need is to be able to create an invoice(s) straight from the Pick and Pack manager.
    >> It basically depends upon your business process . but by software , You can bypass Pick and PACK Manager process. You can transfer  your sales order into A/R invoice  and while posting A/R invoice , inventory will be reduced .
    Hope this help to narrow down your issue
    thank you

  • IMac runs slow when copying through network port

    Ive been noticing an issue with my new iMac where everything I copy through my network to another computer everything starts running slow.  What gives?  How can I correct?

    10.2.0.3? Why? This is software that has been in desupport mode for 2+ years. If nothing else at least patch to 10.2.0.5.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow and restarts

    I was working on my 2008 Macbook Pro yesterday and it restarted on its own.  Now, when I log in, it loads very slow and will restart unexpectedly.

    Reset you SMC which can fix power-related issues, and also reset the PRAM (see below). If that doesn't fix it, please post back.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    You might also run the Apple hardware test.  You'll need your original OS X disks to run it.
