Image Capture takes ages, doesn't transfer thumbnail images

I've had IC configured to auto-download everything from my Cybershot 707 into a specific folder ("CameraImport") on my Desktop whenever I connect it via USB. It worked fine, assigning the image thumbnail to each photo AND .mov video file it d/l. Until yesterday. It started taking a really long time to access the Memory Stick in my DSC707, and then it downloaded (or should I say uploaded?) the files giving them generic Preview and QuickTime icons.
I trashed all prefs in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ and the com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist from my ~/Library/Preferences dirs, but no dice.
DU reports permissions are fine. The Memory Stick in the camera is freshly formatted.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks, people.

having a similar problem. I also have Kodak Easyshare z812, usually transfer straight to iPhoto. pictures work fine, but would not recognize the .MOV files. suspected at first I needed to update Kodak, and tried their newest software, but that wouldn't work either. then plugged camera into iMac, which is still Leopard, not Snow Leopard. transferred the movies into iPhoto just fine. When I read you were using Image Capture, I opened it up to check, but then noticed that Services does not seem to work at all anymore. Opened preferences, and the ones I want checked were checked. quit Image Capture, then looked at Services, and the Image Capture is now available- but no other services. (I use NeatReceipts, Soho Organizer/Notes, and a few other things). I am not happy that my camera won't work as it should, and I am just glad I still have a computer with Leopard on it.

  • Image capture takes 6GB of my 8 GB RAM

    I have seen inquiries with similar scenarios but none of them described what I see on my iMac (8 GB, 10.6.8). All of a sudden the machine acts like it was stuck in mud: eeevvveeerrr sooo sllloooowwww
    It takes ages until I get the activity monitor on screen and another ages until I can mark the culprit and force quit it. After that things go back to normal.
    Can anyone think of a reason? I did a couple of scans with Apple's application "Digitale Bilder" (in german, it should be Image Capture in english) before. When the spooky memory hog showed up I deleted the app, but the effect does not stop. The drama presents itself also with every reboot, so I rather try to avoid that until I have a fail safe method to solve the problem.
    I may try to use the combo update of 10.6.8. Sometimes this can help. Any other bright ideas?
    Thanks for taking a look at this.

    As I thought. With 1 stick in bottom slot (top slot still not working at all, system didn't start with only 1 stick in it) hardware reserved memory is only 262 Mb, it's totally normal amount, i think (maybe integrated videochip using it).
    So, now we see, that top slot didn't work at all, BUT Windows still see it, and marking as "Hardware Reserved"... Damit mistery 
    Looks like a BIOS bug. Have you tried a hard reset??

  • Nokia N95 8GB takes ages refreshing even for one t...

    Hi All.
    I have had this REALLY frustrating problem...
    Every time i add a track to my phone, then i refresh it takes AGES to update the library.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Nokia N97 Mini
    V: 10.0.020 : 14/10/09
    RM-555
    Old: N95 8GB : V 20.0.016 : 28/09/08 : RM-320

    The reason it takes a while is that the phone has to scan all memory every time you refresh, doesn't matter whether you're adding/removing 1 track or 1,000 as the phone doesn't know what needs to be added without checking.
    One of the downsides of having more space.
    If you're deleting tracks from the library, you can still listen to other tracks while this is happening: I listen to a lot of podcasts and always delete the ones I've aleady listened to as I'm listening to a new one. Again, deleting 10 tracks together takes the same time as deleting one.
    If you want to listen to a track you've just added, you can do this while the music player library refreshes, just start playing it using file manager then switch to the library to do the refresh.

  • AI CC and CC 2014 Freeze at startup or it takes ages to load

    Since the last update (which I of course applied as a modest designer) AI CC takes ages to load or doesn't load at all after almost 6 minutes of showing "Initializing...." screen. I have a DELL Laptop with Core i7 processor and 8 Gigs of RAM plus I run Windows 7 from a SSD disk. Prior to this fantastic update Illustrator ran fine. Is there something I can do or to revert back to previous, not-that-advanced version?
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • JPEG pictures take ages to load

    Can someone help me getting my web pages to load faster. I
    use pictures straight from my Nikon Camera and put them on my
    Dreamweaver web pages. When I open my pages on the web it takes
    ages for the pictures to load. How can I speed this up. Do I have
    to convert the pictures into another format? How do I do this,
    Thanks,
    Graeme.

    Don't use jpgs straight from your Nikon. Those are your
    source files and are
    designed to be printed. What you want on the web is a version
    slimmed down
    for the internet. Before you begin archive a copy direct from
    your camera to
    CD/DVD, back-up hard drive, someplace safe.
    Edit, crop or whatever you want to do to make your pictures
    better in your
    graphics editor of choice. If you have one of the Creative
    Suites use
    PhotoShop or Fireworks to do that. If not, your Nikon should
    have come with
    some basic photo editing software.
    When you are happy with what you have done to crop your
    images resize them
    to 72dpi and the dimensions you want the images to appear.
    Play with the
    compression settings to get the best balance between file
    size and image
    quality. Remember that on the web you want fast loading so
    sacrifice some
    image quality. Once you have achieved that balance then
    replace your
    bloated, ready for print images on your web pages and upload
    them all.
    Unless you are making the originals available for others to
    print remove
    them from your website to save you hosting space. If you are
    making them
    available to print link the larger print ready photo from
    your camera (or
    the cropped version that is not optimized if appropriate) to
    the image you
    display on your site. It may be helpful to visitors to know
    how large those
    linked files are if you make them available for print just to
    avoid
    surprises for those on slow connections.

  • I have a graphics 2D object which takes ages to draw....

    I have made a graphics 2D object which draws rectangles of sizes (5,5) accross the width and height of the screen on at a time.
    As you can imagine, this takes ages!!!
    does any one have an idea of how to make this quicker without sacrificing the resolution???
    thanks!

    well, withought code I just can give you some tipps:
    * don't create a new Color in the loop, try to share it
    * try to paint rectangles with same color at one time -> minimize the time how often setColor is called
    * do not create new Objects (like Color) in your paint-loop, share share share...
    btw. I would cache it in an image, otherwise everytime the window-content is invalidated (which can happen quite frequently) your slow drawing code is called.
    btw2. I can't smell your mistakes over the net, already told you to show your rendeing code.

  • FAST enabled MView takes ages to refresh

    Hi All,
    I have a materlialized view which is based on a single fact table ( OAS_BALANCE_UNIONED 11,445,156 rows) and a bunch of dimension tables each containing limited number of rows (a typical start schema).
    The conditioins to make the mview fast refreshable have been met so the mview created successfully with the FAST option.
    The mview then worked just fine after than and had been refreshing FAST (6 minutes) for the whole day till other mviews started to refresh in the same time. Some of those mviews read from some of the base tables of the mview in question. Since then, the mivew has started to take ages (3 hours) to refresh. There is surely something wrong because the COMPLETE refresh was faster than that.
    Later, I stopped all the refresh jobs of the other mviews. Yet, the FAST mview still has the same problem of taking ages to refresh.
    When I monitored the session that refreshes the mview, I noticed in the "Long Ops" that
    most of the time is spent on a step named as "Hash Join" (it appears in the Message column). Hash join occurrs because of the outer join.
    Why my FAST mview suddenly started to take so long time to refresh?
    How can I make my FAST mivew really refresh fast?

  • Setting up my Line6 UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Win7 - settings dialog takes ages to respond

    I downloaded the trial of Adobe Audition 3.0 (I've been using 1.5 on WinXP for a few years now and it's always been fine to use!)
    I am trying to set up my Line6 POD Studio UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit - 32GB RAM Quad Core Intel i7 3770 Processor)
    I am noticing that the Settings dialog takes ages to respond and update with the changes I make - when I eventually managed to get playback - the playback only came out on the left monitor.
    I should mention that I am doing this on a previous Audition 1.5 session - Audition 3.0 saved the session as a new session so I think that should be fine.
    What I'm looking for here is the correct settings I need to use in Audition 3.0 to use my UX1.
    I don't want to pay for Audition 3.0 if it's not going to work for me!

    You won't be able to pay for Audition 3 since it was discontinued several years ago. However you may be able to upgrade to AA3 for free as a previous Audition user.

  • My ipod touch 2g a1288 wont restore. The download takes ages then ipod puts itself back in2 DISABLED mode, HELP!!

    Ok so my ipod is making me really angry. If I don't figure this thing out today after trying for so long I think I'm going to take my car and repeatedly run the thing over until its in a million pieces.
    Right now heres the long story which ill try keep kinda short but I do need to explain whats happened thus far
    Ipod touch (2G), Mondel: A1288 which has gone into disabled mode and is basically useless at the moment.
    Now I've done the thing where you hold the two buttons while plugged into laptop until itunes detects ipod in recovery mode. Then I try to hit restore, this starts up the download/ update thing which will not download because here in the dark ages of New Zealand our internet is slow. So because its so slow the ipod touch takes itself back into disabled mode! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh so FRUSTRATING
    Now I'm aware that I can pre-download the firmware (which will still probably take ages but may save the ipod from timing out and going back into disabled screen) and then just hit control and select it when ipod is detected in recovery mode by itunes. The only thing wrong with doing this however, is when I go to the site to get the firmware from http://http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and look in the drop down menu of 2G ipod touches, I don't see my model listed there so I'm wondering what firmware I can download for the A1288? Is it compatible with a different version? because it wasn't even listed in the drop-down menu of ipod touches.
    I just wan't the thing going again! they put these things into technology that make it useless because they know the average joe like me will just give up trying to fix it and buy a new one. Well not this time, if I cant fix this, I'm going to run the thing over and that will be that!
    Many thanks for reading my speal, I hope somebody can help

    lol yea when i inserted the link i just copied and pasted thats why that happend... Lets try again... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
    Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?
