It takes CS6 a really long time to load files, but it didn't use to

Hello,
I have CS6 64bit on a reasonably up to date windows 7 system. Just checked for CS6 upgrades 7/14/13, and have the latest version (13.0.1.2).
Things have been working fine since I installed the product about a month ago.
At some point something went wrong and it now takes 30 seconds or more to load a file via "file>open..."
It also takes 30 or more second just for photomerge to display the file dialog from "file>automate>photomerge..."
All other photo s/w I have loads raw files, tifs, jpegs, etc... very quickly. This is CS6 specific.
I disabled loading of plugins, didn't help (CS6 starts quickly enough, just not so much file loading).
Anyone out there have any suggestions?
Is this a known issue?
Thanks,
Mark

DId you install anything else on your system around that time?
Maybe a font manager utility?
If it is just slow to show the File Open dialog - then you need to look at the OS, since that is just an OS dialog that Photoshop calls.

  • Safari takes a really long time to load pages...

    Hi everyone; hope all is well.
    I have a rather annoying issue with Safari and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out. I noticed a couple of days ago that Safari often takes a very long time to load pages. I have to continually stop downloading the page and then reload it for it to go the next one. When I do this it often loads the page right away. I'm not sure what this might be all about - Safari usually loads pages very quickly. I've tried emptying caches and resetting Safari, etc. but the problem persists. Can anyone help me out?

    Try this:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions.
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
    If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

  • Firefox is taking a very long time to load any web site. It used to be extremely fasta and stable. Is there a current problem? I have the most recent updates installed.

    As of the last week, I have not experienced the usual rapid download to signing in to Yahoo, and once there, other sites are experiencing the same lag time. I have to wait till Firefox catches up with the download speed on the web. I am NOT experiencing this with Internet Explorer. I much prefer to use Mozilla, but don't understand why this is happening. Are there any issues that are being worked on from your end? There are NO changes to my computer (Windows 7), except recent updates from Mozilla.

  • Qt development tools take a long time to load

    Hello everyone! Since the latest qt update I have noticed that all the qt development tools (creator, designer, assistant, etc) take a really long time to load up and their behavior is sluggish at best (for instance menus take a while to show up). When I start designer from the command line I get this error
    Qt at-spi: error getting the accessibility dbus address:
    "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,
    the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
    Accessibility DBus not found. Falling back to session bus.
    After this the application needs a solid minute or two to show up. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? Have you experienced similar behavior?

    Same issue here after update to Qt5.
    QtCreator with Qt5 starts a lot slower than before with Qt4.
    Also i have notice another issue.
    All commands that requires mouse double click such as:
    > open a closed project's source/header/ui file
    > browse files to add in resources
    > select/edit resource item
    > browse source files to add to project.
    etc.
    now all these commands activated by single click.
    I solved that problem by recompile QtCreator against Qt4, and this strange behavour became past.
    [EDIT] Also with recompiled QtCreator, the problem with slow startup solved too. [/EDIT]
    Anyone have this problem too ?
    Is this an issue related to Qt5 ?

  • Quicktimes taking very long time to load-Big Q appears instead.

    When posting ipod (small) quicktimes to my .mac account (4 per page), the site is taking a really long time to load-a large Q appears instead of the usual Quicktime video frame for a few minutes. They eventually load, but it takes a long time. I've used this program and these files for a year without incident, and now there is this huge delay for my clients. The files aren't very big 2MB-20MB.
    Maybe it's my Safari or Firefox acting up?
    Here's the site if anyone is able to have a quick look and tell me if it loads quickly on their machine:
    http://web.mac.com/chopperfilms/iWeb/Steve%20Gaskin/Projects%201.html
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

    To wait for 27MB to load is too big or rather long wait for your audience/visitor. Set poster frames for all and use movie ref to load only the one the visitor chooses so they don't get the letter 'Q' and use 'fast start' so loading long or big files feels like less waiting. Were poster frames and movie refs getting done automatically by iWeb before?
    I am actually getting the letter 'Q' with a question mark in it 60/40 percent of the time in a QuickTime I posted which I am trying to figure how to get rid of.

  • Web pages taking a very long time to load; nothing wrong with my internet connection.

    I've contacted my ISP and they've told me there is nothing wrong on their end and that my modem is running perfectly. I've done a speed test and my upload is 33mbps+ and download is 5.5mbps+.
    The problem is, it takes webpages a very long time to load. Sometimes longer than others, but sometimes it's so long I give up. There doesn't seem to be a difference between when I type in a URL or an IP address directly into the address bar.
    One night last week I completely lost the ability to connect to any webpages, and then when I woke up in the morning I was having these problems with connection speed, and the problem has persisted for several days.

  • Bank statement import FF_5 sometimes takes a really long time

    Hello!
    In the middle of august we started to have problems with bank statement import FF_5 - sometimes (but not always) it takes a really long time (3 - 4 hours) to import data - usually it would take from few minutes to 1 hour (depending on size of import file). There is no error, the documents that match are posted automatically like always, the amount of documents, that are not posted automatically, is the same as always... We didn't do any new settings in system.
    We tried to find cause with debugger and sql trace, but there was no error - the import program works ok, then suddenly it stops in one line and searches in cluster table RFBLG without filled field GJAHR (year) - that means that it searches among approx 7.400.000 records (the size of our RFBLG is appr. 12 Gat the moment).
    We don't have ideas any more, how to find a cause for strange behaviour. The problem is, that there is no rule - sometimes it's ok, sometimes it works very slow - no matter how big the import file is. The problem occurs with all bank files (we have 3 banks).
    Do you maybe have any suggestions, what to do and how to find and eliminate the cause?
    Thankyou in advance for your tips!
    Meti

    Hi Meti,
    Have you tried analysing differences between files that it goes slow on and files where it goes quickly?  Sounds like there is some difference in file data that causes it to do a lookup.  If the traecs are not finding the differences, it might be wortwhile to put the file data into Excel for a slow and a fast and compare field level data?
    Regards,
    Tony

  • Everytime I open Firefox - it takes a really long time and reopens the Firefox Update tab that says "Choose your Persona" and "More ways to Personalize" tab along with my regular home page tab. Sometimes it tries to load the add ons too and takes a reall

    Every time I open Firefox it tries to install the same updates (that I don't want) and the Firefox 3.6 "Choose Your Persona" etc. tab opens along with my home page tab. It takes a really long time to get onto Firefox because of these problems.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Don't remember

    Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
    When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.

  • Captivate project takes long time to load on LMS

    So I developed a bunch of Captivate 7 modules for a course I'd been working on for some time. When I finally loaded these up on the LMS, I notice that when the modules are launched, a pop-up window opens with a grey background and just stays like that for up to 3-4 mins. I figured grey, because that's what I had set as the HTML page color in the skin editor. However the actual module contents take really long (3-4 mins) to load up. When I tried running all these modules locally from my computer, the grey screen fades into the splash animation within a second.
    I figured that this was either due to a bandwidth issue or the LMS causing problems. So I then had these modules tested from our India and US offices (different internet connecttions, multiple LMSs). Same thing happened, takes up to 3-4 mins to transition from the grey screen to the splash animation (but loads up instantly when run locally). We then tried this on multiple LMSs like SABA, Moodle, and even tried this on SCORM Cloud and the same issue. The modules takes a long time to load up, so I kind of ruled out the LMS/bandwidth being an issue.
    I'm speculating here, but what I think is happening is that the SCO is trying to download the entire module (about 10MB) to the users machine before it plays the splash animation -- if that's the case then is there a way to avoid that? I mean I don't want a 200 slide Captivate published project to be downloaded right from clicking the launch button -- it could stream through as the user advances through the module. Also, I've seen some pre-loader and Start/End options but not sure how those work.
    Important to note here, the 3-4 min wait time from when the module is launched, is only for the first launch. If I were to close the browser popup (in which the SCO opened), and click launch again from the LMS, it's loads up almost instantly -- so I'm pretty sure something's happening in my Captivate project's loading settings which I can't put my finger on.
    Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and also what are some possible fixes to this. I can assure you that it's not an internet bandwidth issue because we've tested it on multiple internet connections and on several LMSs (even the client's LMS that this was tested on says that the initial load up takes too long).

    All the symptoms you quote sure sounds like a bandwidth issue to me. 
    Obviously when you load a project directly from your hard drive then there's no issue with bandwidth.  But if you're pulling down 10 megs from a web server and it takes a while to start then bandwidth is the obvious issue.  I agree that 3-4 minutes sounds excessive for a 10 meg file but that depends entirely on how many users are sharing your bandwidth.  Try getting your people in these different locations to visit one of those websites that allows you to test your actual bandwidth.  It might not be as much as you think.
    On another note...What do you have your preloader set to?  The default is 100% but you can usually set it to something like 25% without too much trouble.  That should cut the start time down appreciably but nothing is going to eliminate it completely because there'll always be some initial lag the first time your learners view the content.

  • Photo galleries take a LONG time to load...

    hello. i've noticed that when i make a photo page, with say 80+ photos in it, it takes a really long time for the page to load in a browser. If i do the same thing from iphoto, and make a mobile me gallery page, it loads much faster. Any suggestions on what i can do?
    id love to be able to link to the mobile me gallery from iweb, but then there's no way to get from the mobile me gallery BACK to the iweb pages. (right?)
    thanks
    Niko

    To add to Roddy's suggestions you can embed an iPhoto MobileMe gallery in an iWeb page with iFrame code in an HTML snippet. This demo page has an example of that:MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies
    If you want visitor to not go to other MMe galleries you might have set the Advanced settings for the gallery to Hide gallery on album page. That will make the gallery a single entity.

  • Form takes long time to load

    My web form takes a long time to load for my users. As a result, I'm not getting very much feedback from them. I need to ensure that the speed at which my form is delivered is consistent. Is Adobe experiencing any problems that would lead to this? I also noticed that the back end was really slow yesterday.

    Hi,
    >>I also noticed that the back end was really slow yesterday
    Yes, we had an issue yesterday with FormsCentral, and it is corrected now. We apologize for any inconvenience that this might have caused.
    >>My web form takes a long time to load for my users.
    Generally, it should not take long to load the form.  Will you try to load the form again?
    Thanks,
    Lucia
