I Photo really slow!
Everytime when I open iphoto my computer slows drastically down.
I have about 2500 pics stored. Is it because there are way too many pics or the reason is somewhere else? (I have ibook g4)
Would appreciate any opinipns and suggestions how to fix my problem.
Thanks
Tom
In the process of upgrading or converting a library - for instance, from v5 to v6, if iPhoto comes across a file that it can't parse, it goes into the Recovered folder. In most cases the file is just fine and can be added back to iPhoto, but some may be corrupted. If you're sure that there are no usable files in the Recovered Folder then yes, you can trash it.

Iphoto 2 / 3000 photos / REALLY slow
Hello. I am currently using iphoto 2 on my g5 running tiger. my iphoto program has been giving me such a difficult time lately. no matter what i want it to do, it takes forever and the spinning beachball shows up. could this have anything to do with having over 3,000 photos in it? is there a limit? if not, what could it be? thanks so much in advance.
dayna.Restart iPhoto while holding the option+shift keys until you see the prompt to confirm that you want to rebuild the photo library database.
Other things you can do is to minimize the number of photos that are displayed upon opening. From the View menu, select "Film Rolls". You will see the individual film rolls dislplayed each with a disclosure triangle. Option-click on any of the "open" ones to close them all. Then just open individually the ones you want ot view.
Turn off "drop shadows" in the iPhoto preferences.
Another important consideration is how much free space is on your main drive partition. -
My Mac Book Pro was really slow at everything and would kick me out of my photos every time i got on them. now it won't even allow me to log on. i put my password in and the screen will flash white and go back to the login page. HELP please...
There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote. -
My iphone 3g is getting really slow. I done full restore ,deleted most apps . Not many photos in my album. i have no videos on my iphone. When taking photo with my iphone it takes ages for camera to open up. Very slow to take photo. Any suggestions? Please help !!!!
Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

HT201317 Photo Stream really slow from Iphone???
Photo Stream moving really slow from Iphone. Took 12 hours for one photo to move from cameral roll to photo stream and then several hours for it to move to computer.
You can't automatically "push" the photo stream photos from your iPad photo stream folder back to your photo stream. You have to get copies of these photos to your iPad's camera roll as new photos for them to be uploaded to your photo stream. There are a couple of ways to do this:
Open the photos one at a time on your iPad and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream.
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream.
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer full resolution copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Once on your computer you then have to delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll again. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.) -
Since I installed IOS 8.0.2 (was ok on IOS7),on my iPad 4 "photos" don't scroll properly, it freezes and staggers, it's really slow to scroll to the bottom of the page (in Album, Events From My IMac) it's very annoying!
I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure. -
Coverflow really slow and duplicated photo library after updating
Hi!, I've been having these 2 issues stated in the titled since I updated my iPhone 4 yesterday after many "3200" errors. When I could finally pass the "Unpacking process", and just before finishing the update, I got a weird error (if I remember correctly it was something like -2 or so). I didn't pay much attention to it because my phone booted normally.
After that I configured the iOS5 pre-settings, and for my surprise, any of my apps, videos or music weren't there. I connected my device again, resynced and hopefully, the restore option popped up, and it went smooth with no errors. The first thing I noted was that some of my albums were lacking the cover art. I connected again and found that in itunes, my songs displayed the cover art correctly, but in the iphone they didn't. I replaced the missing covers and when checked the cover-flow, it was really slow! it is not fluid and freezes my device. What could it be? I think it's something to do with the cache or something...
And the other issue is more simple: after restoring, I got an extra folder called "Pictures" which contains the exact same pictures I sync from my computer (they are normally in the "Photo Library") How can I sort out my pictures?
PS: Here is a video I uploaded showing the 1st issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcAEuN6tDvs please note the last cover I show in the video, some of the covers displays as shown (glossy pixelated, don't know if it got something to do with the issue)
Thanks!I also noticed a bug on Iphone 4 ios 5.0.1. In Ipod application when viewed in landscape position so slow and then kicks me to the springboard(desktop). Sorry for my English, i'm Ukrainian. I hope this problem fix in next update. Thanks

io6 update lost Youtube in my iPad and is really slow and Facebook is slow and don't what to upload photo the iPad is slow to.
Youtube is no longer integrated with iOS. You can download the app fromt he app store.. it's designed for iPhone... but states that it works with iPad.
As for running slow... trying holding down the power and home button at the same time for 10 seconds to do a hard reset.
Also.. if you double tap your home button it will bring up a small window across the bottom of your screen... this is called the multitasker.
Hold your finger one of the apps til they jiggle... then tap the red minus button to kill the app. If you kill them all this should help your ipad run alot faster.
Good luck -

Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance
You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it. -
IPhoto 6 goes really, really slow
Hi,
my iPhoto 6 is going really, really slow, and as soon as I open iPhoto 6 other open programs go slow too. First I thought it must be the size of the pics but with other Photo editing programs everything seems to go with normal speed.
Has anyone got a solution to this problem? Has anyone made similar experiences? What kind of procedures would you recommend?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Kind Regards,
XbalActually, according to the System Requirements, 256mb is the bare minimum of RAM for OS X and iLife 6. I know this is true because (check my specs) I run with this, and my iPhoto library has 5,000 photos. But yes, it is slow. Switching between iPhoto and Safari takes a minute. Photoshop Elements 4 is even slower. I hope to upgrade to a gig soon, and I refuse to run the iLife and Quicktime updates before then. Anyway, the latest QT update is just too buggy.
But my point is, it does work. I have made several movies in iMovie and iDVD and even burned the DVDs. I don't see how 512mb would cause the Mac to grind to a halt. -
Hi my iPad is really slow and keeps saying its low in memory even although I have purchased iCloud storage
It is probably referring to Low Memory on the Device itself...
Getting additional iCloud Storage will not resolve your issue.
You need to Delete content off your iPad.
Have a look at your Movies, Photos and Music and see what can be deleted and/or transfered to your computer.
Managing Storage on iOS Devices
http://macmost.com/managing-storage-on-ios-devices.html
First
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use.. -
Elements 13 works really slow in editing.Can someone help. I have OSX Yosemite 10
elements 13 works really slow in editing.Can someone help. I have OSX Yosemite 10
First of all, did you have PSE installed before updating to 10.10? If so, you need to do this:
A Reminder for Mac Folks upgrading to Yosemite | Barbara's Sort-of-Tech Blog
Also, be sure you have updated to 10.10.1. And if you have a large number of recently imported images in the organizer, PSE will be slow till organizer is through creating thumbnails for the photos. -
Adjustment Brush really, really slow in LR 3.3
Hi,
Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but when I use the adjustment brush with the photo in 1:1 ratio, my computer becomes really, really slow to respond. It becomes so slow, that I have to shut down LR 3.3 and restart. I'm using Windows 7, 64bit with 8GB of memory and my color card is an ATI HD5450 with 1GB of memory. I have my LR3.3 Camera Raw cashe settings at 75GB and on a different internal hard drive. I do not have this problem with LR2.7, which I'm glad I didn't remove. Anyone having this problem and found a solution? LR3.3 has really been a head ache for me. Lots of small, but annoying problems.
Thanks,
DennisIt is funny what we each think of as "relatively old". Three years since I purchased the PC. It works fine for everything else that I use it for but the change between LR 2 and LR 3 has been quite marked in terms of rendering speed. I would say it is far more than a doubling. If it were only a "little bit" longer I wouldn't mind but this is distinctly annoying. The images are off a 5D MKII so 21MP.
As for keywording as the first one is available that makes an assumption that this issue is at import. Indeed I keyword in bulk at import via metadata preset and typing in keywords so I don't have to touch the images at all until they are ready to review.
Yes import rendering is slow but in this case I am working in develop mode. I had just gone through and done batch white balance adjustments. At that point my practice is to re-render the images before I do fine w/b adjustments and adjustments to exposure and black point, this means that there is less delay between opening an image and it "loading" ready to work on. However the huge delay that it causes is making me re-think this and possibly suffering the "loading" delay instead.
Most of the changes for LR2 to LR3 have been good (the notable exception being slideshow which is no longer useable). This however is not a good change. -
IPhoto - really slow - please advise
It takes forever to open, and if I want to use a photo in a document it will again take a painfully slow amount of time to be able to do this - which really slows down my working day.
I have iphoto '11.
I have about 8 750 photos.
I'm wondering if I need to move albums to a separate disk? Is it the number of photos slowing the system down?
In terms of my hard disk:
Under storage it says that I have 51.81 GB free out of 319.21GB
30.61GB of this is photos.
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Can anyone advise me of what is happening or what I can do/check to help the process?
Many thanks.Is your iPhoto library on your system drive or on an external drive?
Did this slowness start all of a sudden or gradually? What did you do, right before this problem started? Did you install or upgrade software? Import new photos or videos?
Do you sync with any online services, like Facebook or Flickr, that might be slowing things down by trying to connect to a server?
I have about 8 750 photos.
iPhoto should be able to cope with so many photos and the free disk space should suffice.
As a first diagnostic measure I'd try to test with a new iPhoto library - create one for testing and import a few photos. If iPhoto is performing better with a new library, your current library may need repairing or rebuilding, or you may have imported a corrupted image or video with your last import.
