IPhoto slow redraw compared to iBook

Well, I'm going from a 1.2Ghz iBook G4 with 1GB ram to a 1.8Ghz MacBook CoreDuo with 2GB ram... I imported my user account using the utility and couldn't wait to see how iPhoto performed. On the iBook, scrolling through the library thumbnails was pretty smooth.. however when I scroll up/down on the MacBook, the thumbnails look blurred for a second.. then clear up.. like there's a little delay procesing the image. Also the color shifts a little when they clear up. Does anyone else experience this? Does this have anything to do with the MacBook not having a dedicated graphics card?

Possibly. Tried trashing the prefs? My iPhoto library is pretty snappy.
I have files of around 6MB too. Sorry I can't be of more help but at least you feel like there's someone here!

  • Mac mini running generals painfully slow compared to ibook...

    hi, i have a new mac mini 1.5 solo core with 1gb of ram. Also running it with a 19"monitor. The game seems to run painfully slow when compared to my old ibook with a 1.33ghz processor and 1gb of ram.
    thanks

    Hi
    Unfortunately your report is correct, depending on the game used, which name you don't give : if it's not Universal Binary , the mac runs it through Rosetta (powerpc emulator) resulting in -comparatively- poor performance...That, plus the fact that the ibook doesn't have to cope with shared memory for its graphic card...So in this situation, the theoretical advantage of the new mini on your previous configuration vanishes !

  • Qt applications over ssh tunnel: very slow redrawing

    Regularly I do not use many Qt applications, mostly Skype. I run it over ssh tunnel from another computer within the same local network for long time. After recent system update I noticed it became very slow refreshing its graphics. I checked several Gtk and Qt applications and found that Gtk ones work almost with the "native" speed, while Qt ones with that damn slow redrawing...
    I tried ssh with both "ForwardX11" and "ForwardX11Trusted" - there is no difference. I'm using no DE with xmonad WM (tried TWM - no difference either) in x86_64 box.
    Any directions/advices/ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Left headphone audio output is slow as compared to right ear phone

    I have Macbook Pro and since last few days left headphone audio output has became very slow as compared to right headphone audio output. I have tried multiple headphones but no luck so its problem with audio jack I think.
    Did anyone experience same problem? Kindly please guide.
    Thanks in advacne.

    This a new one for me, the is slower?
    Trya pram reset:
    Power off, power back on holding the following keys before the start up chime.
    option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times and release.
    Reboot, see if this helps.

  • IPhoto Slow, Blank thumbs, double import, did I mention S L O W

    iPhoto Slow, Blank thumbs, double import, did I mention S L O W? iMac G5, 768 Ram, I loaded and EDITED 500 photos, went to export. Found thousands of images in machine I never loaded. Attempted to export some photos to flickr (before finding they had a fix). Nothing.
    So I did, what any MS user would do, I reinstalled iPhoto. Now there are 500 empty frames, some with ghosts, and 2 sets of newly imported fotos. Tried to do some deleting, but no benefit.
    Any suggestions?

    Sorry to hear you're having problems like this - I have 768 MB of RAM on a G4, and I have seen no slowdown with 13,000+ photos.
    Could you be more specific with how you arrived at the problem? Here's some questions that come to mind:
    - What kind of images? JPG? RAW? approximately what size and resolution?
    - Blank thumbs are usually a result of things being moved around in the iPhoto library, and the iphoto database loses track of the paths. The golden rule is, never mess with the organization of your iPhoto library from within the Finder.
    - Usually if an application is that slow it is running into problems, so if you launch Console, and then iPhoto, you may see new messages that may indicate a problem.
    - The thousands of images in the machine, that you never loaded, what are they? Are they images that were in your Pictures folder? Did someone else use the computer?
    - What do you mean by double import? If you leave your camera or card reader connected, you will be shown the screen where iPhoto is ready to import. If you choose to import again, you could double-import.
    - If iPhoto finds photos at the root level of its iPhoto Library folder, it may try to import them. If interrupted or if the application is forced to abandon the import, it may try again on relaunch.
    - How did the export to flickr fail? Was it with the blank thumbnails selected?
    Maybe information that could answer the above questions, could help me or someone on the discussion board help you figure out what's going on.

  • PDFs slow to load in iBooks

    PDFs, especially PDFs with lots of graphics, are slow to load in iBooks.  I have to open the PDF and wait for all pages to load before I can continue on.  I've saved it as an optimized PDF, but that did not work.  Any suggestions?

    I am also having trouble with large pdf files ie. architectural plans. My problem is using in PDF Expert. Very slow. I have contacted PDF Expert support and they tell me they are using the system for rendering pdf's and it has been a problem since iOS5. This is a problem Apple needs to fix.

  • Iphoto slow problem - photos are organised in folders not film rolls

    I'm suffering from the iphoto slow problem and have been trying to find a way to stop iphoto from loading all the photos every time.
    My photos are arranged in folders, so I don't seem to have the option to stop the photos being loaded by film roll.
    Does anyone have any other ideas ?

    I'm not sure what that means. Whether you have albums or not, iPhoto still considers a single import batch as a roll. If the rolls are not collapsed, then everytime you launch iPhoto, it assumes you want to be able to see your entire library, and it goes about the job of making all the thumbnails available.

  • PDF slow to load on iBooks

    I have added a few PDFs to iBooks. The PDFs are graphics heavy on the page. When I open the PDFs, they are very slow to load in iBooks. I have to wait for every page to load in the lower page view before I can start reading the PDF. Has anyone else seen this?

    I used to use Stanza on the iPad for PDFs because they rendered very well and also rendered fast. I, too, find that iBooks renders PDFs very slowly on iPad. Since iOS5, Stanza no longer works, and I've downloaded Adobe's new PDF reader, which actually works nicely in terms of rendering, but doesn't allow for you to customize the title and author fields for easier sorting. Hope this helps.

  • Slow internet speed compared to iBook on same Airport Xpress

    Have had this problem off and on for a year. There are times when browsing the internet that the iMac simply will not go. It sticks while trying to load a website and is generally sloooowwwww. Four year old iBook on the same wireless system (airport xpress) hums along a great speed. Any reason why this would be? As far as I know all the settings are the same on both machines. One other thing, the iMac seems to drop the network occassionally and takes two or three tries to connect once it drops.
    It's primarily my kid's computer and there's nothing worse than hearing them scream from the basement to "come fix this thing!".
    Could use some help.
    Thanks

    Signal strength is "full" four bars. I had reception problems back in 2005 when I bought the iMac. It is no more than 9 feet from the airport xpress in the basement. The iBook is one floor above and as noted never has reception problems and speed is FAST. I do have cordless phones but they are 5.8ghz not 2.4. Shouldn't be interference from that.
    I thought it might be something other than the network so I backed up my info (not much there since it's the kids) and did a clean install this morning. Now I'm having the same problems as when I bought the unit... can get connection to the APXP at all. This has happened off and on since purchase. Have read some threads about reseating the airport card(it was pre-installed). I might go that route as it does seem to be a network not a software problem. Have never cracked open a mac so I'm a bit aprehensive....
    Before I go that route is there any other thing I should look at? I just went through all the settings for both and they are set up identically. Still no joining my home network.
    Thanks,

  • Slow CS3 compared with CS2

    I'm seeing an overall sluggish performance in inDesign CS3 compared with CS2. I use G5 processors and I have plenty of Ram (8 Gigs on a x2 G5 and (2 Gigs on an iMac) I . Even CS2 running on a G4 PowerBook seems faster. The preview of the images set on Typical makes me think that I have the setting on High Quality, whilst I don't. Images take ages to show up. Seeing the same document open on an Intel machine seems much faster even if has only 2 Gigs of Ram. Is there a problem with G5 Macs and InDesign CS3? Photoshop CS3 works just fine.

    Is it like this with any document? There have not been much complaining of CS3 being slow so it is certainly not a general problem. I have only toyed with the tryout, I am stuck in CS1(!) until fall, but didnt notice any slowdowns in screen redraws on a few magazines I converted.
    You said in a previous post it is like having high res display on, does that mean that they also display in high res or was it just to compare the sluggishness? Placing overly large images and downsizing in Indesign could cause that I think. See what ppi the image are reported to be, actual and effective.
    Are those images on a server or on your local disk? If on a server see if it behaves any better when trying with images placed from you local drive.
    Also try an export to .inx and reopen that with hope of getting rid of any corruption.

  • IPhoto slowed to a crawl - unusable - help!

    hi
    I returned to use iPhoto for the first time in a couple of months - during which I've updated to 10.5.2 and the latest iPhoto updates - now it's slowed to a crawl to a point where it's unusable - simply scrolling brings up the beachball - nothing's changed besides these updates - last photos added were at christmas - used to work smoothly and slickly
    the library holds 7200 images - there's 30GB free on my 120GB hard drive
    what I did so far was trash the prefs - empty caches - then rebuild the library checking all the option boxes
    trashing the prefs and caches seems to help for a moment - on restarting iPhoto is more responsive for a minute or two but then soon gets jammed up again
    I'm on the road and can't reinstall until getting home in a couple of weeks - next step I guess
    been using macs since 1994, iPhoto since it's release - this has me stumped - anyone got any ideas?

    Are you sharing between two or more Macs? If so try turning sharing off - some folks have found that helps a lot
    Do you have Web Galleries that allow photos to be uploaded? It appears to me that that can slow things down while iPhoto syncs with the web galleries
    You do not have a large library (I have about 22,000 photos and Old Toad has even more) and you have adequate free disk space
    check turning sharing off if it is on and galleries syncing (you can see the little wheels spinning to the right of the web gallery name in the source pane) and see if there is anything else you think might contribute to the issue

  • CS4: Super Slow Redraw on Windows 7

    Hello all,
    Photoshop is running very slowly, even with tiny files (50k). I haven't had the need to run large CMYK files as yet, but I am guessing those will drastically slow the already molasses-like redraw. When I say redraw, it's actually the rulers that are taking the longest to render, after which the actual artwork appears.
    Photoshop settings:
    Photoshop is using 75% of my system's resources
    'Available RAM' = 1603MB
    'History States' = 30
    'Cache Levels' = 4
    Compatibility = Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
    Windows Settings:
    Virtual memory: check (per Adobe's instructions)
    Scratch Disk: check
    'Enable Open GL Drawing': check (off)
    Hardware:
    Dell Optiplex GX 620
    Intel 3.00GHz
    4.00GB RAM (3.5GB usable)
    32-bit OS (Windows 7 Ultimate)
    I did not experience any problems installing Windows 7 or CS4. Neither crash or are glitchy in any other way... I spend 90% of my work day in PS, so it is mandatory, for my personal sanity and productivity, that PS run as fast or faster than when installed on XP.
    I've attached screen captures of my PS preferences/performance and the Windows 7 basic info dialogs.
    Your help is appreciated!
    TIA,
    Mark

    All, thank you for your replies. I apologize for the delay in responding - I have been swamped.

    your video card not up to snuff with opengl?
    also why are you running CS4 in XP service pack 2 mode for?
    There's plenty of space on the C drive and that's the drive PS is installed on... is there a reason I should change to D?
    Video card drivers are current, however, it's a 256mb unit. I went to my local Fry's and picked up a Radeon 4670 and 500w power supply only to find that both are too big for my Dell Optiplex. Argh! Now, not only am I still lagging a little (read below for the semi-solution), but I have to stand in that dern Fry's 'returns' line.
    I was trying all the different compatibility options hoping one would resolve the issue...
    Thanks again for your input.

  • Why does iPhoto slow to a crawl

    every time I open iPhoto 9.4.3, not just iPhoto, but everything slows to a crawl. How can I fix that?
    Klaus
    MBP, 10.7.5

    Thanks for your quick reply:
    2GB RAM
    46GB available HD space
    I get the ‘spinning beach ball of death,’ that’s what I call it.
    Just started up the Activity Monitor, iPhoto is consistently in the top five spots of %CPU time used.
    Thanks,

  • Can't import photos from finepix A345 to iPhoto or Finepix viewer mac ibook

    I had previously imported photos from my fuji finepix A345 camera to iPhoto on my macBookPro 10.4.9. Now I am trying to import new images from the same camera and iPhoto displays a message "no photos to import". I have installed Finepix viewer but it also shows no images to import. I have tried creating a new library on a second non admin account and still iPhoto says "no images to import". I was able to successfully import the same images to my thinkpad T41.
    Please help me find a way to import photos from finpix A345 to my mac ibook pro. Note there are no movies in the photos I am trying to import. Thanks.

    Are you sure there are images on the card you're importing from? (asking that just in case you chose to 'delete after download' with another computer).
    Also, have you perhaps formatted the camera drive/card via another computer instead of from the camera itself?
    If your MBP can read the card so can your Macbook. You might want to open 'Image Capture', then go to Preferences and make sure you have an application selected to 'launch' when a camera is connected.
