How do I fix CS4 from rendering very slow?

I just swithced from CS3 to CS4. The process went well and I did not have to reinstall CS4 to access my projects; thanks to all your help.
After installing CS4 I uninstalled CS3 then I defragged.
Now rendering takes a very long time in CS4.
What is the magic button I need to push to speed things up?
I have Vista 64 bit
8GB RAM
6000X2 at3.1Hz processor

Is the slow render issue happening when you open a CS3 *.prproj with Premiere CS4? We've had many issues with CS3 projects opened with CS4. For example, stuttering video that has blur effects applied. I recommend you avoid doing that. Many have reported that CS3 and CS4 can peacefully co-exist on the same system. That may be your solution if you need to revisit CS3 projects.
Then of course there is the issue of hardware specs. CS4 runs great on the new Intel i7 processors with lots of RAM...6GB+. Harm has a good article on video editing hardware specs. The only point I disagree with is on packing a full tower case full of high capacity hard drives. We have found that in many cases when one of our editing system slows to a crawl, the cause is a hard drive that has one type of issue or another. One workaround if you want to load up on internal drives is a quality hot-swappable cage that holds multiple drives. Kingwin has a model for instance that holds 4 drives and uses up only 3 DVD-sized computer case openings. There could be drive cooling issues with the Kingwin product because the included fans are small and some have claimed, "cheap".
We use the Panasonic P2 cameras. The video looks great and the resolution is all that we need for the type of work that we do. Editing is smooth when we edit P2 on external drives connected via E-Sata. This keeps the internal drives to a minimum.
I would take a look at the new SSDs for your system drive, and install two additional internal drives. Look at the consumer drive ratings on newegg.com. For example, some of the Seagate 1.5's have reliability issues.

You may want to use the Migration Assistant, which appears the first time you start up the new machine during setup, and also is available later (it is found in /Applications/Utilities.) Note that if you are running 10.4.x on the old MacBook both machines need to use FireWire to do this, but the late 2006 MacBook has that. You will need a special 4 pin to 6 pin FireWire adapter cable, as the FireWire ports on the newest MacBook Pros are different.

Premiere CS4 Rendering very slow

recently premier started rendering very slow after making a change to an effect or adding something, etc..
No hardware or software has been added or changed, have tried defragging, updating drivers, etc. Is there some sort of cache or flush I don't know about that premiere uses?
If anyone has any suggestions I am willing to try almost anything because hours of googling have not brought me any luck.

What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?

Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

How do I keep html from rendering in to a link, I need it to show

Hi All,
How do I keep html from rendering into a link, I need the html code to show in a comment box so others can copy and paste it in other comments on a photo sharing site.
The code rightful renders into a link and the html no longer shows how do I stop
it from rendering?
I would really appreciate any help! Thank you for your time.
Cheers,
Maria /eMe

Hi Eme
I don't know for sure w/o trying the site, but I guess you mean that a href ="some-site.com" type things are rendering as links, rather than text people can read? same as these forums I spose.
first, try replacing the opening < with < and the closing > with > for both the initial <a> and the closing </a>
hopefully...that'll allow the code to be visible, tho' you may find the site still converts the url to a clickable link.

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.
Hope this helps

SSRS Subreport - Renders very slow

Hi All,
I have a subreport which is embedded in the main report (form report) which is inturn embedded in a list. The report is executed for different levels with each level having different number of records (say 100, 150, etc.) and gives us a form for each
of the records on a single page. That is the report will have 150 pages for 150 records. My subreport renders very fast when it is run stand alone. Even the SPs written for the subreport are giving results within seconds. But when embedded in the main
report, the whole report is rendering very slow.
I tried passing the parameters to the subreport in two different ways:
1. Assigned the main dataset's record id to the subreport which gives correct data but taking very long time to generate the report.
2. Assigned the main dataset's record id to a hidden parameter and passing that parameter to the subreport as a parameter. This way the report renders very fast but the subreport is always giving the results for the first record id. That is even for the
second record, the subreport is showing up the first record's details which is incorrect.
Have been struggling with this issue for a while. Request you to help me in this regard.
Regards,
Bala.

Hi Bala,
According to your description, it seems that the issue is caused by the parameters. Please check the parameters setting of each subreport control in the main report. Make sure the data types are the same between the parameters, and the values passed to the
subreport parameters are correct.
As to the report performance, we can refer to the ExecutionLog View to monitor it. The total time to generate a reporting server report (RDL) can be divided into 3 elements:
Total time = (TimeDataRetrieval) + (TimeProcessing) + (TimeRendering)
For more details about troubleshooting report performance, please refer to the following documents:

IPod shuffle 4th Gen. How to start playing podcast from the very beginning once again?

Hello to everybody in this forum,
I bought a new iPod shuffle 4th Gen music player for about two weeks ago. I love this device, it works great as well as it's sound quality amazes me after Windows Mobile 6.0 Phone, Transcend MP3 and even Samsung Galaxy Ace devices use experience. It's much better and it made me got used to podcasts feature I never tried before, But if I want to replay the very same podcast item from the very beginning - I simply don't know how to rewind it back. If I press next/prev buttons it doesn't help. The podcast itself starts to play at about 5 minutes before a podcast's end as if I were listened to the whole podcast continuously from the beginning of a podcast. A podcast appears to be divided into chapters and I don't understand how to switch chaprers. Even if I did, the amount of chapters is big and it's inconvenient to swith every chapter with prev button pressed. Shuffle's manual tells me nothing on how to get things work I want it to. Any help is appreciated.
Best regards, Alexander Chernyaev.

How do I prevent CS4 from crashing opon opening without having to delete Flexnet Publisher.

When I open CS4, it crashes with out an error message box coming up. The second attempt, it crashes with the message box saying, Error 150:30, Licensing for this product has stopped working. I then have to go to the hard drive > library > application support > Flexnet publisher and delete it. I then can open up CS4 and it stays open. I have had to do this procedure for many months. I am using Mac OS.6.8. Is there a way of preventing CS4 from crashing without having to go through this procedure?

If it crashes, you would get a crash report dialog.
It sounds like you either have a bad install, or a bad license.

How do i fix iphoto from randomly cropping photos

When I edit my photos in an external editor (PS CS6), after they are saved when I click to view them in iPhoto they automatically zoom up/crop to a tiny portion of the photo. When they are exported they are saved that way as well. How do I fix this problem?

For some users that's been a problem for a while with photos edited in an external editor. What version of iPhoto are you using?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

I've been getting a very poor speed since about thursday last week, I've run the speed test and get 24.4MB/s from the exchange, yet from my hub I'm only getting 0.65MB/s, bt say they've fixed a problem in my area on one page, then tell me there's a problem on another, I use a wired connection, so there shouldn't be anything stopping me from getting my full speed, is there actually a problem in the Bridgwater area/01278 area code? If not how can I fix this?

Lightroom 5.5 Import from Catalog *very* slow performance.

Importing from a second catalog from a shoot is *very* slow with the last version or couple of versions of Lightroom. It's been about 20 minutes and the import is moving glacially slow and is only about 20% done.
Here are as many stats as I have:
iMac 27" 3.5Ghz Core i7, 32G of ram, 3T fusion drive (the late 2013 model maxed out)
Master catalog has 117,000 images in it.
The catalog I'm importing has 948 images in it.
CPU use during the import is 100% used by lightroom (note that the multiple CPUs can go to more than 100% so this means I think that one CPU is maxed out, though LR can sometimes take 500% of my CPUs during an export)
Lightroom is using 4.2G of RAM (10G free in activity monitor)
Hard drive is fairly full, but still has 366G free on it (so about 10%)
Lightroom Mobile sync is enabled (not on this folder I don't think) but says "service unavailable" at this point.
Lightroom is fully up to date (5.5) on both iMac and laptop (also a mac in case that matters). Both are up to date with the latest OS software.
How I did it was:
Export the shoot as a new catalog on my iMac
Transfer it to my laptop (smart previews only, no masters)
Edit images, metadata, etc
Transfer the entire folder back (.lrcat, previews, smart previews) to iMac
In my master catalog do an import from catalog
Waited for ages for checking for dupes (which I can understand with such a big catalog)
Selected to import all, changing metadata and develop edits, and selecting to put new images in the folder (not sure why it asked as there weren't any new images)
The last time I did an import I started it and then went out somewhere so I didn't notice how long it took, but this seems completely crazy. In the time it's taken to write this up it's now about 20 minutes later and the progress bar is maybe at the 33% range. It's still working away, it's just crazy crazy slow.
Anything to help out or debug would be greatly appreciated. I suspect it's pure size of the catalog, but 120k isn't outside the realm of what I've heard people say works fine, or maybe the Fusion drive (maybe the OS is trying to move files around behind the scenes)?
Either way this didn't seem to be an issue until the last couple of versions (I haven't gone and re-installed 5.4 or 5.3 to check) and it's starting to really frustrate me

Hi Jim,
Great suggestion! It opens perfectly fine on its own. I even went as far as re-exporting it once it loaded but am still experiencing the same issue. That same catalog loads perfectly fine on my assistant's iMac.
I can't really think about anything that changed in my environment with the exception of a new Bootcamp partition to run windows on an external Thunderbolt HD but I doubt this is related.
I'm open to any suggestions while I am trying this again... 10 minutes of 'Checking for changed and duplicate photos'.

FOI theme (Oracle Maps) rendering very slow

I sniffed the network traffic when a FOI theme is rendered on a map. I determined that for each feature of the theme a network request is sent to the server fetching the corresponding marker. Fetching markers has a big impact on the performance.
I think that fetching the same marker for each feature is not nessary.
Is there a way (undocumented feature or patch) to avoid this from happening?
Thanks in advance,
Jeroen

Hi,
Experienced the same issue. I would like to hear from Oracle Maps development team if they are going to do something with it because our Map with active theme is very slow (rendering of markers and also panning the map). Without active markers it's fast.
thanks,
