Kaudiocreator very slow (unusable) in new kde 3.4.0

Kaudiocreator was just about to make the day of a guy in the process of being converted to linux, when it appeared not to work anymore after upgrade to kde 3.4.0. The program becomes unrepsonsive and the CD drive makes "search" sounds and never comes to actually ripping a CD.
The guy in question decided to that this was the last straw after the imense problems with sound, websites not displaying correctly with the "fast" (konqueror)browser (too impatient to wait for firebird to load) and media plugins too hard to configure and rebooted in to windows, possibly never to return....
The above illustrates how little bugs can influence big decisions....
Nevertheless, I myself am sticking with linux and would like to rip with kaudiocreator again... (Grip is just too complicated) Anyone have a clue?

Hi!
I had similar problem a few weeks ago. I did not manage to solve it at that time but started looking for an alternative package. What I found was "abcde" which is a command line tool. I know it sounds a bit 19th century but after I configured it I don't need anything else.
There is a configuration file that you need to customize once and after that you just insert a cd and type "abcde", it queries CDDB and presents you with matches it found, you can choose which one suits you and, which is quite impressive for me, choose syntax (for example track number, artist, title or track number, title, artist, if "-" or "/" was used to separate artist and title etc). Of course it distinguishes between single artist and VA, it creates ID3 tags etc.
The only thing I do not have working is automatic m3u (playlist) creation but I use Kid3 for that, so no big problem.
Just give it a try, if you want a sample config I can send you mine but it's not a rocket science

Very slow to open new window

How to fix very slow opening window. I have vista 64. Since the last foxfire update it is very slow to open new windows. It can take some windows opening over a minute to open. (yes minutes not seconds)
Once a window is open I can open in new tab with no problem, but not with new window. (I like to have many windows open at a time)
When l click to open a new window either from a link or new window, it seems that nothing is happening. Then clicking to open another one which seems to open faster. Then all of a sudden the first window decides to open after about a minute or so. Sometime it seems to hang longer than other times.

I did try the safe mode and didn't work. I did make iexplorer my default and then back again to foxfire and it somewhat worked. It was work not bad (but not as good as before) until I rebooted and it seemed the more I used it the better it became. Go figure :)
Well I just did another firefox update to 4 and it works perfect and maybe even better than before. (or I got use to how slow it was :) )
Thank You for you quick reply and I'm very happy for the new update... So far so good.

VI running very slow in a new PC

Hello,
I recently changed my development PC, and one of my VIs is running much slower in my new PC. This is strange since the new PC is a bit better. In this PC I have an Intel i5 4210M 2.5GHz CPU, 8Gb of RAM and a disk with 7200RPM and 16MB of cache. The PC I was using before had an older intel i5 3210M CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 5400RPM disk.
In the current project I'm working I'm monitoring some production lines. I'm using Labview 2013 and the DSC module's OPC server to connect to the PLCs on the production line.
In the VI that is slower in the new PC I'm reading about 50 shared variables from the OPC server, I'm registering some data in a MySQL database, datalogging data on the Citadel database and registering alarms. On my older PC each iteration on this VI was taking about 1 second and now is taking more than 10 seconds.
I've noticed that when I run that VI the disk usage gets very high (constantly over 90%), but it's strange if the disk is causing this problem since it is better than the one I had on the older PC. The CPU usage is low (arround 5%) and the memory usage stays arround 30-35%.
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening? I'm getting very frustrated with this problem since the PC is brand new and I wasn't expecting to have a problem like this.

With windows 7 I was having the same problem. I installed windows 8.1 because since I was having some problems with drivers compatibility on windows 7 and I tought that maybe this problem in the execution speed could also be caused by that. But on windows 8.1 there was only a slight improvement - it took close to 20 seconds to execute now it takes 15 seconds, but still not the performance I was having on the previous PC (arround 1 second).
Today I brought both PCs and I'm trying to understand what's different. I've noticed on the windows resource monitor that the write speed on my new PC's disk are lot slower when the VI is running. The disk load goes up to 100% but the write speed seems to be limited to 1MB/s. As for the older PC the disk load stays lower (arround 30-40%) and the write speeds goes up to 5MB/s. I've also ran perfmon but I didn't noticed major differences between when I was running that VI and when I wasn't. I've attached some screenshots from the resource monitor of both PCs. The screenshot that is in portuguese is from the older PC but the fields are in the same positions as in the english version.
So I'm thinking that this must be some problem on my disk confgurations something must be limiting my disk speed to 1MB/s. But when I transfer files on the PC it doesn't seem to have that problem. I only noticed it on that VI...

Garageband running very slow on my new Macbook Pro

I have just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro - base model - and Garageband is running very slow. I've added nothing else to my Macbook yet......
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Your computer is farrrrr more powerful than what you're describing, so something is definitely amiss.
Are you saying in Disk Utility, you are unable to click "Repair Disk Permissions?" Does your user identity have admin privileges? I'm not sure if that's a requirement to be able to repair disk permissions or not, but the ability to repair disk permissions should always be available to you.
Another thing you could try in terms of troubleshooting is to go into system preferences -> accounts, and create a new account. It can be a temporary one just to test this. Then, in the new account, you could see if you have the same problems. You could always delete the account after the test.
You could also try recording to an external drive. A firewire drive would work best (recording to external firewire drives generally improves performance) and would rule out the internal drive as the culprit.
If you are still having problems, you could always call AppleCare, which can walk you through a hardware test, or bring the computer into an Apple store to have them check out, in case there's something wrong with the computer itself.

My Iphone 4 is very slow with the new ios 6.0

I updated my iphone 4 with new ios 6.0 and now my iphone is very very slow (one night to send an email and impossible to put a photo on facebook... MMS impossible to send... as if very heavy...). What's happened ?? Does someone know how to change that or should I return to the ios 5.1.1 version ?
Thank you for your help !

there is no support way to downgrade ios. you can restore your device back to factory setting and see if that helps you

Adding songs and editing info is VERY slow on brand new mac

Hello, I have a brand new macbook computer. I'm trying to add songs to my iTunes library, which is mostly empty at this point. As I try to add songs to iTunes, they take quite a bit of time to get added into iTunes. If I try to edit their info (through Get Info), it takes forever for the information to go through. I have my preferences set to organize my music library folder. I noticed that only songs that are in my iTunes Library folder take a long time to get added (so, adding music that's in a random folder on the computer and isn't in my organized library folder gets added to iTunes very quickly, but if I'm adding music that's going to get organized in my library folder, it's very slow.)
I don't remember it being this slow on my older macbook. Any ideas as to why this is going so slow? It's clearly not a RAM or size problem, since this is a brand new macbook.

Hi JGG,
Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that I house my iTunes library on an external drive. I understand that, of course, anything hosted off of my computer would be slower than if it was on my laptop, but this still seems much slower than it was on my older computers (where I also used an external to host the music). Also, I mentioned earlier that if I added music to iTunes that was in a random folder on the external, it would show up instantly on the playlist; but if I added music that was within my iTunes library-folder on the external, it would upload very slowly. Even after it's on the iTunes playlist and "organized" within the Library-folder with the correct titles/folder names, just editing a song (for example, to change the year) would take a long time as well.
Edit: And, I just realized, there is a big delay when I try to click on a song to play. The little spinning color wheel pops up for a few seconds every single time I click to play a new song out of my playlist. I'm sure that NEVER happened in the past on my old macbook when I also used an external drive.
Thanks for your help!

CNA becomes very SLOW after adding new switch to cluster

Added a CAT-2970 to my cluster and now CNA is acting very slow, especially when I attempt managing the new switch. I am still below the 16 node cluster limit. I did initially find a CRC on the new switch trunk port int. and noticed that it came up as Dynamic Auto/ISL and the core was at Dynamic Desireable/ISL, so I hard set it to Dyn-desire to match... still very slow CNA.
The problem was not there before and after restarting the application, it appears to be fine... until I attempt to manage/view/reach the new switch - and then EVERYTHING in CNA goes slow again (hourglass of death) for some period of time.
Yet, telnet & ping to new switch is always fast, no problems at all. Strictly seems to be a CNA problem...
Ideas??
Thanks,
Al

Looking at the outline given by u,there may be several reasons for this slow access such as loose connection, improper trunking and so on.Ofcourse, CNA problem can also be one cause.But, if u r sure that it is a CNA problem, why not u try for a new version of CNA?First of all, which version of CNA r u using?is it CNA 1.0 or 2.0 version.If so, try installing or upgrading CNA3.0.
For detailed info on installing and upgrading to CNA3.0, the following URL will be useful.

Very Slow Wireless on New MacBook Pro

Hi just bought a 13' MacBook pro about a week ago. Immediatley from getting it my wireless internet is very slow. We have a few other pc's in the house that use the same router and they all run fine on the wireless, even our phones run great. When I am plugged in with the ethernet cable the internet seems to work fine but as soon as I am wireless it takes forever. Pages will take minutes to load up. I was on the phone with mac support and what they did didn't seem to fix the problem. I am getting so frustrated and would really like any help. Thank you.

In the Belkin config, have you got 'Protected Mode' On or Off? (Wireless > Channel and SSID > Protected Mode) It's generally faster Off unless a lot of 802.11b devices on your network.
Packet loss or packet re-ordering might cause that drop, as might a high MTU value, but it's hard to troubleshoot ...
(I'm using a Belkin G+MIMO and getting as fast/same performance as hard wired machines)

8800 Very Slow At Opening New Messages

I have a 8800 running the 4.5.0.124 version of the software and it is very slow when opening messages.
This only happens when opening unread messages and can take 1 minute+ to open. Once an email has been opened once it is instant. (Even messages that have only been read in Outlook). When it is 'opening' the message the device is completly unresponsive then will suddenly either open the message or if it has been longer it will lock the device.
I have also tried using the 4.5.0.55 software and this still has the same issue.
There are no entries being put into the error log while this is happening.

[SOLVED] Very slow application launch in KDE

Hi, some days ago a nasty makefile tried to delete my / directory while I was trying to compile a program. While it didin't touch anything in my system folders, it made a big mess on my home. I recovered almost everything, but since then KDE is behaving strangely. In particular, launching an application with lancelot or with the standard KDE launcher has become painfully slow. All the KDE applications are affected, but the issue is particularly annoying with firefox. Launching it from the command line, however, resolves everything. Chromium is launched quickly in any case.
I deleted .mozilla and .kde4, but the problem is still there. I have no idea to what look at to try to understand what's going on, so I would appreciate some help...
Thanks.

Oh, you don't have to rebuild everything. Backup your configuration also, then put it back one by one and see what has gone wrong. (All those hidden files started with a dot ".").
I did mean those files are also important data, who would want to lose all the configuration that took so long to do
Shouldn't take too long to figure it out. If it's my configuration, I think I can find out what wrong in less than 15 minutes.
Good luck if you choose to do so.

Itunes 9.1 very slow on brand new laptop.

After installing itunes 9.1.1 on a brand new sony vaio f-series laptop, it is extremely slow. It plays music normally, but when anything else is done (right clicking to edit, selecting anything from the toolbar such as File, edit, etc.) itunes responds very slowly. It takes over thirty seconds for any menu to appear after clicking. Sometimes itunes locks up completely forcing me end the process through Task Manager. Also, Home Sharing does now work on this particular computer. Other computers within the network work fine, but when Home Sharing is activated on this machine, the icon for Home Sharing disappears as soon as I log in. The other computer can see it and each other, but this computer can't see the other computers.

Update: I've discovered on this forum that the problem may be with Sony's media manager scanning my library (currently around 3,000 songs). Has this been confirmed?

Numbers running very slow on Yosemite, new 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 Fusion Drive

When I initially start working in Numbers, it runs very smoothly, but after a minute or two, it drags like crazy. Even just to highlight a cell takes 5 seconds or more. It's really terrible. I've done permissions and disk repair. Any advice as to why this is happening and how to correct it? I have a nearly brand-new Mac desktop, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 drive...almost a terrabyte of free space.

I did just update the Numbers software...still have the problem. However, I noticed that when I "Save" the work, it goes back to running quickly. This lasts about 2 minutes, then slow city again.

PP5.5 very slow on brand new iMac

I have seen a number of threads similar to this, but none have been helpful.
I purchased a brand new 21.5" iMac late last year.
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I installed CS5.5, and found it to be pretty slow. So I got some more RAM. I now hav 12GB of RAM. I saw an improvement, but it's still really slow. Premiere is the worst. When I press play, even on low-res video footage, it often takes a couple seconds to start playing.
I clicked Project Settings, and for Renderer, the "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" option is grayed out.
I looked at some threads... and apparently I have to manually set a graphics card or something like that? I know nothing about that.
I have finally had enough of this. Very frusterating. I was sold in PP5.5's speed, and it has been extremely slow.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Basically, there is nothing that you can do with that 2011 iMac. Upgrading to CS6 still would not have allowed you to enable GPU acceleration: OpenCL GPU acceleration only works if the GPU has 1GB or more dedicated RAM (and officially, CS6 for MacOS only supports Macbook Pros, not iMacs, with the HD 6750M or HD 6770M and 1GB or more dedicated graphics RAM for OpenCL GPU acceleration on AMD GPUs). Your iMac's GPU has only 512MB of dedicated RAM, as I mentioned. That's too little RAM to even allow the enabling of the GPU acceleration in CS6.
As for the addition of the Thunderbolt external hard drive, that would still gain some improvement in performance, especially since your iMac is bottlenecked by the use of only a single disk (the OS disk for absolutely everything). The iMac's internal hard drive uses a SATA interface like Windows PCs use - and a single SATA connection can only pass data in one direction at a time (this is what I meant by "half-duplex"); a block of transfers in one direction (either read or write) must be completed before any transfers start moving in the opposite direction. And most video editing tasks require simultaneous transfers in both directions on a disk interface (which a single SATA connection cannot perform; this is why we often needed two or more disks).

Flash is very slow in the new Firefox - why?

Dear FF!
Flash is running slow in FF4+ compared to for instance Safari and Chrome. We are launching a new section of Sesame Street in two weeks, and it would be great to know if the next version of FF solve this issue or if they should tell their audience that they should use a different browser.
We have always loved FF. But not sure what happened in the new version.
Thanks!
Andreas

Any updates on this would be great! Is there any solutions for optimizing this? Is this something to avoid? Help!
