Import panel takes ages to appear when uploading cards

Hi all,
I have a 17"macbook pro I7 with 8GB RAM, running the latest LR 3.3 and OS 10.6.6, I shoot people and use this machine mainly on location to import cards, check focus, edit images and metadata. Back at the studio I also have a macpro 2.93 Ghz Quad-core with 12GB of Ram.
I have used LR since it was launched and recently upgraded from LR2 to LR 3. Everything seemed to be working fine, however in the last couple of months I have noticed that everytime I put a card in the laptop, allthough it apperars instantly on the desktop and in Bridge, it takes exactly 40 seconds for the import dialogue panel to apperar. This is very odd as it used to be instant, even on V3.0. I use lexar and Sandisk card readers via the USB port, the same readers and cables I used before this started happening. There are 3 USB ports on the 17", i've tried them all and also a FW800 reader with the same result.
On the Macpro the import panel still pops up instantly when inserting a card. I have also tested 2 other laptops, one a 13" brand new intel core duo ( 10 seconds to load) and an old macbook pro (instant).
This delay it's actually quite annoying when you are shooting people at speed as it slows the whole workflow down.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Thanks for your help,
Igor

Yes, it's happened to me. At first I thought it was the problem with Norton (when Itunes does an update, it always messes around with my antivirus, so I have to go into norton and reset it up).
However it seems a genuine program error here - I run two ipods on my itunes and have done for a yea, my personal one of 4g and the family one of 160g. When i plug in the 4 g it takes itunes about a minute to locate it, but when i plug in the 160g it takes about 10 minutes or so, so the bigger the ipod, the longer delay if I'm right.
It all works after the delay, but everything freezes until the ipod is located and it's really frustrating.
Hopefully it's something apple can quickly rectify on the next update.....

  • BC4J, compiling: takes ages to compile when connected to network

    Hi,
    We have a BC4J project that's almost
    100% wizard-generated from an Oracle 8.1.5
    database and we have been experiencing a very strange behaviour in JDev. What happens is that it takes ages to load and compile the project when the computer is connected to the network. Just unplugging the network cable more than doubles the speed. The database and JDev are on the same machine: a Pentium III 550, 512MB using JDK1.2.2.
    We would appreciate any comments on this behaviour.

    This is off the actual thread topic, but I background everything except syslog-ng because I do want to see logs in case something goes wrong during boot. Also you have hal in your daemons which is deprecated. If you still  use apps that require hal, then by all means keep it in the array, but if you don't then that's something you can get rid off.
    fam is another that can be replaced with gamin. gamin does not require to be run as a daemon. if you don't use printers then you can get rid of cups. if you don't have network storage or any reason to access drives across the network then you can remove netfs as well.
    Just some things you can look into.

  • Using Insert Media Flv but videos takes ages to appear. Why? How to speed up loading on page?

    Hi, I used to used a freeware video player but DW CS5 kept giving me error messages about it so I changed all my videos over by usng the insert>video>flv menu . However, now the videos all take anwhere from 4-10 seconds to actually appear on the web page - and they are not big files. I have placed an example here:
    http://www.enhanced-learning.net/test3/test.html 
    I definitely have the players and scripts folders also uploaded. With my old player the video would appear on the page instantly - any idea why it takes so long with CS5 or have I done something wrong? I'd love to see any examples of embedded videos other people have done too. Thanks

    Thanks, I appreciate the quick response. I think you are right and it was aserver issue. After weeks of the videos not even appearing, suddenly
    they are now all working just like you said. Grrr!!!

  • Is it possible to define one language for every imported text? And other problems when placing text.

    Problem is, that Indesign cc 2014 does not recognize language correctly. In my case it should always be slovenian (and documents like doc and docx are set to slovenian), but it set it as slovakian. I get many documents from different programs (Word, Libre Office, Open Office ...). And setting every one after placing it into document is time consuming. Word import was working great in InDesign 5.5. Now it just mixes local character formating. Also: importing docx takes too long, and when in document is some picture, it just freeze. So I must first open every doc/docx file and delete every picture/logo that is inside.
    Any suggestions?

    Check the language of your default Character Style. If it's set to Slovakian, change it to Slovenian with no documents open.

  • Disable "Overwrite existing files" when upload doument

    Dear team,
    in document library, when upload document, i don't want the document to overwrite the documents with the same name.
    there is chekbox in upload page, that is default checked, I searched and some people said that I can update the upload page, find the checkbox control, and set the value to false, so i update the value in Upload.aspx and Uploadex.aspx page to change the
    value.
     but after changing the value, I cannnot open the upload page successfully, it always shows error.
    Did I do anything wrong?

    Hi Greetings.
    This is not the right procedure
    Scording to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to override SharePoint OOTB Upload.aspx default for " Overwrite existing files" checkbox.
    We can use the AdditionalPageHead delegate control to change the default without modifying upload.aspx.
    There is an article for your reference, although it is about the WSS3.0, it still works for SharePoint 2013: Turn Default Upload Overwrite Off in WSS 3.0
    Please follow the steps as below:
    Download the solution file form here
    Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
    Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
    Run the command: add-spsolution c:\ DefaultUploadOverwriteOff.wsp
    Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
    Open the site, clilck Site settings-> Site collection features-> Default Upload Overwrite Off->Active.
    Open the library, the 'overwrite existing files' checkbox will be unchecked.

  • The first upload takes ages! even after connected

    Hi all,
    I have noticed a little issue I have when uploading a single file to the remote server via SFTP, The first upload will take ages about 30 secs before completing. The activity icon will stop on one quarter for this time and then complete when ready. I have no issues with uploading after the first file has been done. This happens each time i connect to a new FTP account. I'm not too concerned about the time delay, I just hope that the connection is not being interceptered by a third party or somthing.
    Could it just be that DW is communicating with the server to secure it the first time around or am i paranoid?
    Using the lastest DW CC
    Win 7 Home Premium, updated!
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, this problem is pretty irritating to say the least.
    FTP is the simplest of operations and the most fundemental. But ever since Adobe tookover Macromedia its just gone to pot.
    Already I cant use the ftp for anything with more than 50 files and have to use a REAL ftp tool like fo;eZilla to who I dont pay a huge amount each month for professional software.
    But waiting upto a minute for a 5kb file to upload is ridiculous. I might as well multitask with a third party tool. Nice one Adobe. I hope your shares are doing well.

    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • Datapump import takes ages

    Hi,
    I'm doing an import of a schema with one table with about 1 million (spatial) records. This import takes a very long time to complete, a ran the import on friday and when I looked at the proces on monday I saw is was finished at least 24 hours later after I started it. Here's the output:

    I thought datapump was meant to be really fast, what's going wrong in my situation?

    ...I've just looked at the time needed to do the import into the same database from where I exported the dumpfile. This import operation takes 5 minutes.

    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

  • I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?

    I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?

    When you "rename" a photo in iPhoto you're adding a Title to the shot, not renaming the file. This si quite standard metadata in photography, but it appars that it's getting lost in the upload/at Snapfish process.
    You can use the Titles as filenames if you export using the File -> Export command. It's one of the options in the export dialogue. You can upload the exported items.

  • When im playing any games it takes ages to load and then crashes it is very annoying

    Right excample facebook games when i play they take ages to load it also keeps saying i need to update flash player which ive done severl times a day and makes no difference then it will just bo of and say page could not be found please reload . Even when i try to open firefox 4 its very slow and then might open 2 or 3 pages at a time

    If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
    6mbps required for instant 720P
    8mbps for 1080P
    You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
    You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
    Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
    The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.
