Is your 4.1 faster than your 4.0?

Hi there
I'm thinking there is a good number of people who will want to know if those among us who have had speed/performance issues with 4.0 are having those same issues with 4.1.
I'm sure many of us will appreciate your responses. I never upgraded, although I bought a copy, because I read about the issues a lot of people were having. Now I'm reluctant to upgrade right away because I fear that some issues may not be resolved, + I am in the middle of an important project.
Thanks!

You're welcome to disagree, Jerry - but when two people with broadly similar, reasonably well-specced machines, can have such different Lr performance experiences, the only thing that can explain it is some difference or other in the machines, a difference which has an impact on Lr.
So again, what else can it be but something specific to the problem machines? Something which is not related to the simple question of how well-specced the machines are, but which is nevertheless a "local" issue.
You are exactly right Keith, as far as what you said goes.  But you may be forgetting that Adobe writes not only the code, but also the system requirements. By definition, minimum system requirements ensure usability.  It's Adobe's role to ensure that their code and their specified system are compatible.  The purpose of writing system requirements is exactly to prevent  "local issues" from tripping up the application. 
There is no requirement on software vendors that system requirements be broad and vague; they can and should be as specific as necessary to ensure that the software is always usable on a system as specified .  (Having said that, If they need to be too specific, there probably is a code problem.)   It's because Adobe wrote  the code and has an obligation to correctly specify the computer that I said "the ball is in their court."  I suspect that Adobe does not yet know what is causing some of these reported problems.  Also, when/if it does get figured out, the response will probably include code changes. 
There is no reason to assume there is anything wrong with the machines LR4 does not play nicely with.  They work properly with other apps. 
BTW,  I am one of the lucky ones, having no problems with LR 4.1. Yes, it is noticably slower than 3.6 -- that version has a dreamlike link between the sliders and the image-- but I find 4 perfectly usable.

  • New iMac faster than my MacPro?

    I've recently purchased a new 24" iMac for a 2nd home I have out west. After a few days tinkering with it I'm pretty positive that this new machine is quicker than my 2 year old MacPro that I have at home. I was hoping after looking at the specs below if people could confirm that this should be the case.
    The reason I'm wondering is that I even though the iMac is brand new, the Mac Pro was and still is far more expensive than the iMac. The main reason I would like to know for sure is that since I work from home and have fairly advanced needs (two VMWare Fusion vms running on top of OSX 60+ hours a week working with important financial software), if the iMac is indeed faster I may be looking for an upgrade. Before I essentially toss my $2700 MacPro to the side though I want to make sure the lag that I notice that I don't yet see on the iMac couldn't be simply cured with an OS reinstall, which hasn't been done in over 2 years.
    I'm also a little unsure of how to compare the Xeon vs the current Pentium processors, as well as how important the 1067mhz vs the 667mhz ram is to my needs. I basically run two Fusion VMs with 1gb dedicated to each one in Unity, Safari, iTunes, Mail, Adium, and Skype occasionally.
    Specs for each machine..
    24" iMac - 2.93ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram 1067mhz, 600gb ATA HD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 256MB
    MacPro w 30" Cinema - 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon, 5GB Ram 667mhz, 250GB ATA HD, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
    All advice greatly appreciated.

    I'm also a little unsure of how to compare the Xeon vs the current Pentium processors
    No Intel Mac has ever had a "Pentium" inside.
    The Mac Pro would be faster for applications that are designed to use multiple processors. It has 4 cores versus 2 in the iMac.
    VMware Fusion has a option (in the virtual machine's settings) to use more than one +virtual processor+, but it is not as efficient booting the OS directly. Also, it probable that things like the financial software you are running on the virtual machine is itself not designed to take advantage of multiple cores. Therefore, CPU clock speed becomes the overriding factor for performance in your case. Since the new iMac runs at 2.93 GHz versus 2.66 GHz for the Mac Pro, it is certainly possible that your iMac is faster than the Mac Pro, in your situation. If you were running Final Cut Studio or Logic Studio (or other app that takes advantage of all the cores), the Mac Pro would be faster.
    Also, Snow Leopard has a new technology called Grand Central Dispatch
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/#grandcentral
    which is supposed to make use of multiple cores more efficient under Mac OS X. I don't think it will have too much impact on existing third-party software, but it will be interesting to see what the developers at VMware and other third-parties software firms can do with it. So your Mac Pro with four cores may become more efficient (faster) under Snow Leopard.

  • How fast is your MB Unibody 2.4 fan when watching Hulu?

    When ever I watch any flash based video over the web my fan goes 6000+. Is this normal? How fast is your fan?

    I sold my 1st gen MacBook and bought a MacBook Pro because of the same problem. I have a 2008 aluminum MBP now with the same graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor) as yours and my fans stay at 2000RPM when watching Hulu.
    Your fan may be running high because you only have one fan compared to mine having 2, and the interior of your unit is smaller than mine, thus causing more heat buildup.
    FWIW...My 1st gen MacBook Air's fan runs 6000RPM when watching Hulu on it.

  • Under the settings app there's the general column and under the accessibility section the is a setting called black over white does that drain your battery any more than the normal setting

    Under the settings app there's the general column and under the accessibility section the is a setting called black over white does that drain your battery any more than the normal setting

    Wow. I have not seen that question nor a discussion. I agree with James. I don't think it will, and if the power drain is different, maybe it'll be less and not more.
    With a 10 hour battery, you have plenty of time to test it and see. If the battery depletes fast, just go back to the other way.
    If you do try it, let us know what you discover.
    Thanks ! !

  • How fast does your MBP battery die?

    Hi everyone,
    I've just received my third Macbook Pro battery. I used it ONCE and now it's down to 98% capacity. What is wrong with those batteries? Are yours degrading as fast?
    Detail: I received the brand new battery. Charged it to 100%, left it charged for a few hours, and then drained it until the MBP went to sleep, left it until the LED went out (standard calibration procedure). After subsequent charging the capacity is only 5420 out of 5500 mAh.
    Battery one was nearing 70% capacity after 3-4 months and was bulging (swollen battery issue). Battery two had less than 50% capacity left after less than 6 months and would cut power with no prior notice.
    MBP 1,8   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Clearly your first two batteries were bad. Don't freak out just yet, though. That magic number - 5500 mAh - is the nominal capacity of a new battery for a 15" MBP. Did you actually check the full charge capacity before you calibrated it? Because nominal means "stated or expressed but not necessarily corresponding exactly to the real value" (see definition #3 in the dictionary widget). So, it's possible that you actually started with a 5400 mAh battery which imporved with calibration, or a 5600 mAh battery that dropped more than 2%, etc. Point is, there have been some bad batteries (thank you, Sony!) and you were unlucky to get two in a row, but don't assume a 2% drop means you got a 3rd lemon.
    I've got just over 60 cycles, and my battery 'health' fluctuates between 90% and 97% - and yes, I mean fluctuates- as in falls and rises - from charge to charge. Sometimes it will drop 3% in one charge cycle, then rise 5% the next, etc...
    So, relax and just keep an occasional eye on it.

  • Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer? I usually sync to my tower at home, but only have access to my laptop now. My laptop is authorized to the same iTunes account as the tower. If I do a software update for the iPhone on the laptop's copy of iTunes, will it wipe away my music that isn't from the iTunes store, etc?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Yes, but all your data will be replaced by whatever is on this other computer. So if you don't want that to happen wait and install on the computer with which the device is normally synced.

  • How can you change your iPhone purchase to be shipped to a place other than your billing address?

    There is an "edit shipping" option, but the hyperlink is disabled. I'm purchasing the new iPhone 4S, and there seems to be no option to change the shipping address. Is this true for everyone?
    Thanks!

    Verizon will ship to any address you provide to them.  I've been a Verizon Wireless customer since 1999.  My iPhone 4s order will be shipped to an address other than my billing.  It even shows it plain as day in my confirmation email.  I would take a screen shot and show everyone, but I don't want to give out my address (obviously).  But you can ABSOLUTELY have something shipped to an address other than your billing.  I've had this done MANY times over the years.  The reason for this is that a lot of parents pay for their kids' phones at college and such.  So obviously, the shipping address can be different.  As long as the billing information is the same as the shipping.  That's the important thing.

  • Printing to a PDF page larger than your FM document

    When printing to a PDF page larger than your FM document, try this:
    Use File > Print Book, set up your printer for Adobe PDF and 11x17 (or whatever your preferred page size is), and deselect Generate Acrobat Data. Turn on Registration marks if you like. Then, print, and the book should print, centered, on the larger page size.
    Hope this helps somebody.

  • What to do if the cost to ship is greater than your product price?

    I'd like to sell an item that fits in a 12cm x 12cm x 6cm box and weighs about 55 g (box and packaging included). I'd like to list the product for $5 at most, but according to the shipping calculator, the package would cost about $10 to ship. How would I make profit in this case, and how can I offer free shipping? (In the past, I've purchased $3 products with free shipping from sellers in Asia. The cost to ship should have cost way more than the money earned from the product itself--since it's international shipping--so how is profit made?) Thanks!

    Get the Chinese sellers right out of your head.Their manufacturing cost is risible and the Chinese government heavily subsidizes the cost of shipping, unlike our own.And sadly, some just don't ship anything making their money because customers forget the pennyante purchase and/or don't bother to complain when nothing shows up. Look instead at your costs and your buyer's total invoice.You need to cover your procurement cost (on a $5 item that should be less than 50 cents)You need to cover your eBay and Paypal fees (about 20% of your buyer's payment, perhaps more unless you are using PP micro-payments)And you need $10 to cover the cost of shipping. Which is cheapest ?A $5 item with $10 shipping?A $10 item with $5 Shipping?A $15 item with Free Shipping?Yes, they are all the same item.Yes, the buyer probably knows that shipping is included in the cost of the Free Shipping purchase, but she likes it anyway. And she will convince herself that your '$15 ' item is better quality than your competitors '$5' item.Also, frankly the person who pays a fair price for an item is a nicer customer to deal with than one who is a bottomfeeding bargain hunter.And for you, the fees will be a little lower with 'free' shipping, including no shipping FVF on items shipped outside of Canada even if you were to send Overnight Lickety-Split GoldPlated Express with Signature Confirmation and insurance. So my advice would be to put the item up at $15 with Free Shipping. Remember you also get a break by buying in loonies and selling in USD. As a new seller, you have been guided to the simplified Sell Your Item form. Look at the Site Map for the Advanced SYI form that allows you to sell in US dollars. Voila! You just made another 15-20% on your sale! I'd also offer the unwanted advice that you not  sell this item on eBay. The value is too low unless you are fairly sure that most of your sales will be for multiple items. (This happens in sportscards, beads and scrapbookng for example, where customers will order dozens of $1.00 items to be shipped together. Each sale would be a money loser, but the total sale is profitable.) In my opinion, if an item can't sell for $9.99USD, it will not be profitable.There are also items that sell at a decent price, but packaging and shipping the bulky item makes the profit disappear.

  • Itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd...

    For the first time since upgrading to 10.3.9 I'm trying to burn a data disc from iTunes to backup some files. It fails every time and ruins the blank CD. This is getting expensive!
    The CDs are Phillips CD-R 52x. (Yes, I've used blanks from this very box before the 10.3.9 upgrade and it never failed before.) iTunes was set to 24x burn then changed to "maximum possible" for the burn speed.
    Most times it looks like it's burning the playlist but around the 5th file it spits it out and gives the error "itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd burner or media". Sometims it just locks up itunes with "checking media" and I have to force quit iTunes. Then the disc is ruined. It won't even show up in Finder.
    Ugh. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • How fast does your Windows boot up?

    Out of curiosity, how fast does your Windows bootup?
    I have Windows XP, and the logo screen displays for about 11.06 seconds. How about yours, and what can be done to make Windows work faster?

    Also more fast bootup stuff... Search google for XP SP2 Beta... install that > ive found it great so far.. MS has got it so it disables a load of unneeded services so PC will boot / shut down quicker.. Remember it is only a BETA atm.. so use at your own risk.. ive had no probs tho.. pc seems quicker

    Thanks Flam3h, it most definitely is the printer spooler.  The problem is that if you set it to manual, your printer will not work.  When you go to print something, Windows tells you that you must first install a printer.  This is the only service I've found where the manual setting will not work.  You either have to set it as automatic or go into services and start it each time you want to print.  I'm just wanting to know if anyone else has this problem and knows of a work around to allow the manual setting to work.
    I don't know if I'm ready to try service pack 2 yet.  If I do, I will definitely make a ghost first

    If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
    I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them.  Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.
